Yes. Affirmation Care is the same principle as conversion therapy. It’s plain as day.
But... Sickos have a lot of sick fetishes and fantasies like kids and transexuals.
Ambitious sickos gravitate towards positions of power.
So we shouldn’t be surprised that there is a powerful push to make this fetish stuff normal. It’s not. And if this conversation continues on a scale like we’ve seen lately, there’s going to be a whole generation of people thinking it is normal. And I think that’s the point.

This is mostly philosophical.
Since gender affirming care involved seeking to integrate young people especially into a new, medically induced and maintained reality, how is it not a form of conversion therapy? And if that's what it is, how is it not just as controversial rather than widely approved and pushed?
The conversion here being a medical one into an artificial physical reality.
