The myth of LGBT conversion therapy

All this has pitched a poorly understood subject back into the headlines. The issue will likely be fiercely argued about right up to the next General Election. And yet the po-faced, bleeding-hearts who make the most noise about it, all quivery-lipped and wet-eyed, are always the least informed.

This is hardly surprising, given that the campaign to ban conversion therapy has been rife with misinformation from the outset. For starters, it is the brainchild of the LGBT lobby – the same geniuses who told us gender self-identification was all about making it simpler for nice trans people to change their names. Only later did it transpire that self-ID also meant, among other deplorable things, that male rapists would be allowed into women’s prisons.

Now we are being told by the same goggle-eyed goons that a conversion-therapy ban is urgently needed. Supposedly, across the UK in 2023, LGBT people are being brutally coerced into believing they are not who they think they are.

One of the most dishonest things about the campaign is that it purports to be about preventing coercion. In practice, a ban on conversion therapy, at least when it comes to gender identity, would force therapists, teachers and even parents to affirm a confused child’s delusion about being born in the wrong body. It would demand unquestioning affirmation of a child’s trans identity, no matter how autistic, troubled, potentially homosexual or just plain tomboyish or effeminate the kid may be.

This dishonesty about the real aims of the ban isn’t some sort of mistake or misunderstanding. Misinformed has been baked into the campaign from the start.
