No, you aren't. Your description of what constituted "conversion therapy" was not based on sorting males from females.
God damn, but you're reaching here.
I was addressing conversion therapy specifically for female patients, which required pre-sorting the patients into two bins based on a well-known set of biological adaptations around reproductive capacity.
Would you rather your minor daughter adopt a gender affirming FtM lifestyle or adopt an attending-talk-therapy-to-accept-my-body lifestyle? If you see a major difference between these two scenarios (gender affirmation vs. body affirmation) then I'm not reaching at all.
That's rather the point. Colorado law defined "conversion therapy" so broadly it covers exactly what 11.6 of the Cass report describes. Colorado isn't merely equating 11.6 with conversion therapy, they're defining it as such (at least in some cases). But the Cass review is not well suited to addressing this issue. They did not do a review of "conversion therapy" or even define what the term means. That's understandable given that they had a different mission, but as a result the report doesn't have much useful to say about the topic.
Meh. When you accept and embrace orwellian language, you end up making orwellian arguments. I expect better from you, d4m10n.
Do you consider sterile females to not be female?
If any given mammal never developed down the "reproductive pathway adapted for turning large gametes into newborns" then I'd need to hear an argument for calling them female.
Having a female reproductive system doesn't necessitate pregnancy. It certainly doesn't suggest that the sole value of that individual is having babies.
Having a "body [which] is biologically adapted to become pregnant" doesn't necessitate pregnancy, either.
Who suggested that? I'm guessing the same people who suggest conversion therapy for lesbians, but I cannot tell what or whom you're getting at here.
Counseling that gets a female to accept that they can never be male counts as conversion therapy. It doesn't actually need to get the female to accept that their body is built for pregnancy in order to accomplish that.
Counseling that gets a [person with reproductive adaptations related to becoming pregnant] to accept that they can never be a [person with reproductive adaptations related to making someone else pregnant] counts as conversion therapy.
That's still not what you said before.
I did. Multiple times.
If you believe what I wrote at #602 doesn't match what I wrote at #652 that's just fine, make the argument instead of pretending I'm fixated on a minor point.
Disagreed on the lack of any resemblance, of course. The law targets any therapy which helps patients modify their behavior and self-image around what it means to be L, G, B, or T.
Neither can I. It's not productive, so I've stopped bothering.
No, I'd say the high court preserved important values by striking it down. Only brought up that law to explain what "conversion therapy" means when you see it in news headlines these days.
Why on earth did you snip the question and only answer negatively to one small portion?
