You honestly think private conversion type therapy couldn’t happen. Just name it something else.
You think parents can’t isolate their kids and browbeat them with an ideology?
Actually, I do believe it.
I also believe the State can do those things too!

... parental consent is needed for surgeries no matter where, now the age of consent might vary.
are you going to tell parents they suddenly can't circumcise their babies, parents have the right to cut boy's foreskin with no medical necessity. that's a religiously motivated mutilation of babies...
nothing new under the sun when it comes to sick parents. all the more reasons to empower teachers...

History shows LGBTQ* kids need a safe haven — often from their own parents.
That’s a majority history — not a selected rare occurrence.
Seventy-three percent of TGAs reported psychological abuse
psychological abuse can be dismissed

maybe you don't understand percentages either...73% is definitely a majority. So you're going to dismiss a scientific study because you are the expert suddenly, because you consider parents should have the right to psychologically abuse their children's. way to go
nah, at this point you have zero credibility, it's you who is out of touch and locked in a reductionist view on the matter.
keep making yourself irrelevant...

And if you think it's a good idea for the State to be able to control your child in secret - think about this....
All of these posters on ATS that disagree with you - they win the next election and control the State/School board
Cool with you the State now has the same power?
