Before any discussion of this issue, namely conversion therapy, can commence, surely we need a definitive definition of what conversion therapy actually is. In the middle of the twentieth century it was a brutal de-humanising process involving electric shocks and even sometimes lobotomy. This is what most people think of when hearing the term. But trans ideologues now refer to any ‘talking’ therapy designed to explore and find reasons for an individual’s discord between their psyche and their physiology as conversion therapy. Any conversation other than affirmation of “being born in the wrong body” is regarded in the trans activists world as conversion therapy.
