Everyone has to hide who they are to some extent. This is just the world we live in, societies are awful to people.
Again, the harassing, harming and attacking is done by other people, not by the "Conversion Therapy".
- fzeroracer 8y agoYes, conversion therapy is composed of people. But so are governments, businesses, societies and everything else. Your argument would essentially argue that nothing can actually be harmful because it's due to the people behind the concept, not the concept itself. We can measure things by the harm that they cause as a whole, and as a whole conversion therapy is harmful. Unless you would like to dispute the factual harms it had and does cause.
- zzzcpan 8y agoNo, it's not like that. The decision to go through "Conversion Therapy" under pressure is like a manifestation of harm already done to a person, it's not necessarily harmful in itself. As I said in another comment, it's possibly even a way out of anxiety to go back to pretending.
