So let me get this straight (no pun intended): they want radical faux Christian parents to be able to force their LGBTQ+ children into therapy regarded as ineffective & dangerous, but parents who want to get hormones for their transgender children are prohibited by the same government from doing so?

That would be against the code of ethics for psychologists and we are obligated to protect human rights and human well-being. Adults can make that decision for themselves, whether or not to torture themselves but minors should be protected from this abuse at all costs.

Conversion therapy is just an excuse to abuse children, the government doesn’t like. After they’ve banned abortion, won’t pass simple background checks on gun owners, so your children aren’t gunned down in school. Some pretty sick sh*t happening in your country.
