How odd!

Conversion therapies designed to change those youth who see themselves as same sex attracted have been banned in a variety of states -- 24 to be exact, plus localities.  Actually it is the majority of the population of the US who lives within such states and localities.  As you might presume, they tend to be West Coast, Northeast, and a few liberal Midwestern and industrial states (Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, to name a few).  Now, one might be inclined to think that those who are opposed to therapies designed for minors might also be inclined to be against puberty blockers or surgical procedures for minors suffering from gender dysphoria.  The fact that this is not the case further supports the ideology that is behind the whole LGBTQ+ side of things.  

The difference between the two (conversion therapy and hormone blockers and other invasive therapies for those with gender dysphoria) is that the conversion therapies do not cause bodily harm to the individuals in the same way that the gender affirming therapies do.  Sure, there may be psychological harm to the individual (at least perceived) in conversion therapies but there are not the irreversible physiological changes, especially including fertility, when puberty blockers are administered to minors before/during puberty solely because puberty is seen to be the enemy of their felt gender versus the actual biological sex of their bodies.

In other words, it is okay to harm the person permanently in pursuit of what society has deemed normal but it is not okay to temporarily harm the person in pursuit of what everyone agrees is normal (at least in terms of the overwhelming majority!).  The world is left with one conclusion.  Politics is informing this decision about what can and should be done and what cannot and should not be done to the minor.  While the world seems to accuse the religious of letting their ideology govern their opinions, it is clear that they LBGTQ+ community and their supporters have not removed the log from their own eyes.  Is it too much to ask people to be consistent?  Well, maybe it is....
