The three items discussed are a continuation of of religious zealots and poorly informed people. The first group that think conversion therapy will work are just kidding themselves if it possible we would see scientific studies proving it. As to the Catholic Church they have always been opposed but if they to want to forbid certain procedures they should look to their own teachings before they deny service. The sports area should not be prohibiting anyone from participating in a chosen sport it’s not their responsibility to get into the culture wars. These people, groups are only interested in their own beliefs and should not impose them on others
Given that conversion therapy directly kills people, why not use whatever means available to point at "therapists" engaging in this practice as being professional murderers. Make it as unpopular and indefensible as possible for those who practice it, so that no one would ever want to seek care from them.
I would also really, really like to point out how insane it is that hospitals are being essentially run by a religious organization in this day and age, especially by one as historically opposed to public health as the Catholic church, but coming from the US it's less surprising than it is simply fucked up. Actual separation from church and state is badly needed.
Am I the only one that thought the author of the conversion therapy story was a pseudonym of Erin’s? Erin in the Morning vs Erin Allday? 🤣
