Let’s now take a more direct look at the agenda inherent in exploratory therapy itself, discuss why it’s just a rebrand of conversion therapy, and directly address the contradictions in Rachel Hannam’s own statements.

I escaped gay conversion “therapy” when I was a teenager, before I’d ever heard of a minifig. Hell, I didn’t know what a minifig was until a few weeks ago when a goofy-serious YouTuber called Reckless Ben became my bedtime de-stress habit.

It would be nice if British Society didn't want to torture the Queer out of people, we Queers don't go round torturing Straights into being Queer (no matter what some on the Far Right think)

Participants in his program report that the game consists of suppressing sexual identity, forcing heterosexual relationships regardless of attraction, and endlessly resisting homosexual desire. The real discussion here may not be whether this qualifies as conversion therapy but rather the naked truth of the treatment itself. It is an anti-therapy, a form of self-annihilation that never seeks to elevate the “client.”

One man, a poor student at the time, gave twenty percent of his income to his sessions — on the understanding that paying for your recovery makes you more invested in it.
That is not a ministry. That is a subscription with a shame gate.

Read the arithmetic slowly, because the arithmetic is the whole story.
Strength in Weakness is a for-profit corporation registered in Ontario. It instructs American donors to route contributions through a Florida church holding 501(c)(3) status. Memberships $70 a year.
Church leader courses $360. A three-day workshop, $3,000 plus flights and hotel.

Founded 2006. Sailed straight through California's ban and straight through Exodus International's 2013 apology, and spent a chunk of this year touring six countries in Africa.
A researcher who studies these practices named the reason for the costume out loud: it's optics.
Everyone knows what conversion therapy is called now, and nobody wants the label.

A ministry operating in 58 countries and at least 31 US states has never once promised to make anybody straight. That's the innovation. It promises you may remain exactly who you are, provided you never touch another person as long as you live, and that the forbidding is love.
Membership runs $70 a year. Couples, $100. A church leader course, $360. #TransRights #QueerNews #LGBTQ #ConversionTherapy #Religion #Journalism #Queer #Nonbinary #uspol

A dangerous, ideology-driven, pseudoscientific alternative-medicine version of therapy is being practiced by those critical of the so-called “gender movement” and #transgender people. It’s called “exploratory therapy,” which in a nutshell is thinly repackaged conversion therapy.

A senate chamber in The Hague.
The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years, fines near €27,500, lost licenses for the therapists. COC Netherlands fought close to fifteen years alongside survivors to land it. The American right wants you to believe the world is turning back toward them.

We all know what they mean, when they claim that their protests and B|ble verses "don't come from a place of hate".
They "love" us, sure, as long as we admit we're disgusting and agree to repent and "pray the gay away".
Taken from the same page as Chip & Joanna Gaines, who issued a letter saying they "loved" everyone, just as long as we submit to #ConversionTherapy, was the bit they omitted.

Wonder if the cistem is willing and/or capable of enforcing the new conversion therapy ban. The burden of proof required for accountability here makes similar laws unenforceable.
Otherwise we’ll end up with a similar level of inaction as with discrimination, where it’s both illegal and punishable, yet enforcement is effectively zero as the burden of proof is impossible to reach in most cases.
So it’s unclear exactly how medical professionals already openly discriminating against targeted minorities, on a regular basis, is supposed to now suddenly be held accountable for something new.
We still have a zero-fault healthcare system with shortages that make all but the most vile and sloppy & dumb predators walk free.
