Catholic counselors win in court against Whitmer’s new Ban on Conversion Therapy Law

Gender dysphoria is a manifestation of deep-seated psychological/developmental conflicts and
anxieties which are unrelated to any religion.
And there can be no "conversion" from this malady (or for any of the myriad forms of human psychosexual dysfunction) without accessing and resolving the underlying, deeply repressed "issues."
This process is extremely "challenging" and the rarest of human experiences.
Society needs to tolerate this relatively innocuous form of mental arrest... but by no means celebrate it any more than we do schizophrenia.
I have a lot of optimism the psychedelics can help.

It’s worth noting that Schizophrenia is most often treated with medications…as is GD…
...when counseling is insufficient.
Define "treated." In both cases you're referring to the symptoms... not the underlying causes.
But at least you are conceding that not merely personal choices.
I keep giving you definitions from the professionals in this field...read them...and learn. I don't
create my own version...unlike others (find a mirror).
I love the contradiction: "Gender-affirming care is between patients, parents, and doctors."
But essentially Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy when it comes to sexuality IS NOT left up to patients, parents, and doctors, or even adult patients and their doctors. Good stuff. Guess what the response has been when I've pointed this out? It's on your list.
As you know, they don’t care about principals except when useful to their goal. But this one
messes with their rookery, so they are willing to expose their hypocrisy - to the point of contradicting themselves openly simultaneously.
Once again...Dr. Baron Disses his fellow MDs...even if he has no experience in their field, at all..
...I guarantee you he would never mouth off like that at an American Psychiatric Association gathering...much less an Infectious Disease Association of America meeting.
Baron continues to write checks his OB/GYN MD can't cover.
As posted here many times...All GD patients start and continue with counseling...even through drug
and if chosen, surgical therapy.
Since the Regret Rate for GD patients opting for GAS is on the order of 1%,,,and Catholic Counselors
will not discuss drug of gender surgery options, this ruling will not serve GD patients well in MI, or anywhere else in the USA.
Always cheering on the mutilation of confused kids.

Only adults get to have gender surgery...and the 'Regret Rate' is exceedingly low...which
dramatically reduces the very real volume of suicides for this group of patients.
I've posted documentation on this several times from noted hospitals like the Mayo Clinic, UCLA and Boston Children's Hospital...
You're living in a fantasy world.
"Fantasy world." From the guy who thinks men can be women.
And that they should be drugged up and carved up to prove it.
Gender Dysphoria is a mix of biological, psychiatric and social factors as judged by thousands of
the best psychiatrists and psychologists at our best hospitals…Mayo Clinic, UCLA…Boston Children’s Hospital…and many more. The treatment protocol of counseling…with options of drug treatment or gender surgery for adults has been developed by them over many years of peer-reviewed studies.
As opposed to your totally uninformed, emotional gut feelings…
Rambling, meandering nonsense.
Men can't be women. The rest of your gibberish is irrelevant to the point.
Let's see...take your word...or those of thousands of professionals with experience treating Mental
Health problems...you lose...again.
You again have to pretend the discussion is over something else.
You know you're wrong.
Per AI Summary Statement: Gender dysphoria is a recognized clinical condition, BUT...
...the science—particularly regarding causation, pediatric treatment, and long-term outcomes—is NOT fully settled. Scientific, medical, and public discourse continues to evolve as new evidence emerges.
(Note: I don't care much for the posting of "AI Overviews", especially by those who won't share how they framed their question to AI, but since someone here does...here is AI's take on what is "settled".)
Every AI source I use contains links to the sources used, as well as a repeat of the question posed.
along with a clear note that it is AI generated. There are proper ways to use this burgeoning technology to help people understand a subject.
As for GD, your addition to this discussion is as accurate as mine...so, why don't you accept mine and realize that the issue isn't 100% about Anatomy, but rather a complex mix of Body Chemistry...Sociological Factors..along with Anatomy? Moreover, why won't you accept that modalities of treatment vary depending on the individual patient...i.e. some need only counseling...others, medication...and then for 25% of them (Adults), surgery...while also being constantly counseled?
Don't be so myopic...and unnecessarily fearful. Truly dedicated and caring professionals are doing their very best to help GD patients live a satisfying life...learn more and try not to get in the way...none of them are causing you any harm.
Your inflammatory characterization is just that...again, the recipients of GAS have a 1% Regret Rate
...compare that with an ~6% RR for Knee Surgeries...i.e. hardly "Mutilation" for them...they go on to live much happier lives..and that's what counts.
Your innate bias has completely taken over your ability to think objectively...or with any concern for what They...the GD Patients...want.
Oh, and GD isn't just about Anatomy...it's about Body Chemistry as well...along with Social/Environmental experiences. You, apparently are fixated on only Anatomy, which is why you can't 'Get It', and appreciate their Dysphoria.
