Medicine with a “Transgender Bias” A new lawsuit raises the question of whether “gender-affirming care” constitutes gay conversion therapy and violated the civil rights of a gay man.

We've all predicted it for some time--somebody was going to begin to argue that transing is conversion therapy. I am SO glad to see this new legal maneuver!

Me too! Because it is gay conversion therapy - we can even apply the adjective "stealth" to it - stealth conversion therapy - if you've happened to read how they had legislative victories way back when, because they consciously chose to be "stealth" about it.

"Transgender" has ALWAYS been conversion therapy.

This is one of the top issues that made me peak around trans rights.

This is why it baffles me when anti-conversion therapy laws shoehorn in "gender identity" along with sexuality.

It is wrong to question and attempt to "convert" someone's same-sex attraction, because it is not harmful for a person to be attracted to people of the same sex.

It is not wrong to question if someone's "gender identity" is based on sexist stereotypes, cognitive distortions, or past trauma or abuse, because it is harmful for a person to stereotype women and men, think drugs and surgeries make one "authentic," run away from and ignore their past, and constantly need and seek external validation.

Shape’s lawyers argue that federal law affords distinct protections to gay men and lesbians—upon which clinics that operate with a transgender bias are trampling.

Oh this is promising. A good angle that is justifiable in law. In practice, "gender affirming care" very much IS conversion therapy to "fix" homosexuality. Iran does the same damn thing, the only difference is in the West it's surrounded by an ideological cult encouraging young boys/girls and medical providers to catch the gay ones and fix them very early on.
