CW: transphobia
If you haven't heard of gender-exploratory therapy, or GET, it's basically conversion therapy in disguise - they oppose even social transition.
"Much like how a crisis pregnancy center steers pregnant people away from abortion, GETA’s strategy is to sound cautious and helpful while promoting a very specific view of how people should live their lives, which is as the gender they were assigned at birth".

I was today years old when I learned about "gender exploratory therapy," a Newspeak term for "anti-trans conversion therapy." The goal is to get trans kids, run the clock out on puberty blockers and force them into the puberty of their sex assigned at birth. It's also to fill trans people of all ages with self-hate and convince them that they're only trans because [insert trauma here]. #transrightsarehumanrights #conversiontherapy #antitrans #genderexploratorytherapy https://erininthemorn.substack.com/p/gender-exploratory-therapy-a-new

The parallels and ties between #GenderExploratoryTherapy (#GET) and #ConversionTherapy appear fairly clear. GET appears specifically modeled on the notion that being #trans is pathological & still serves as a strict #gatekeeping measure designed to discourage and ultimately prevent transition-related medical services. In other words, it's complete bullshit.
