https://spectator.com/article/the-conversion-therapy-we-should-really-ban/> In due course, we’re likely to recognise this fetishisation of fake sex change as a medical scandal of historic proportions. For there’s one form of a conversion therapy ban I’d support. Make it illegal to pretend to ‘transition’ minors who may be disturbed mentally but have nothing physically wrong with them. Prohibit scientifically illiterate teachers and counsellors from inculcating children with the idea that sex is anything other than permanent and that there are any more sexes than two. This issue tends to focus on minors, but if it were up to me I’d also ban all cosmetic surgeries on adults that result in loss of function, which would preclude elective mastectomies and vaginoplasties. I’d stop as well the issuance of cosmetic prescriptions for cross-sex hormones to adults in demonstrably damaging dosages. Let’s encourage the ‘dysphoric’ to go back to playing dress-up – harmless, painless, reversible fun.
> My version of a conversion therapy ban remains a distant prospect. In the absence of the politically infeasible, then, let’s at least nix a law that would get anyone who urges caution – you know, ‘Sweetie? I know that five of your friends have also just decided they’re “trans”, but doesn’t that strike you as a wee bit suspicious?’ – thrown in jail.
