Conversion therapy

'I needed years of therapy over the battle to change my sexuality' (BBC News; March 28, 2025)

Ben Gibbons, now 38, says he needed years of therapy after an elder at his church forced him to make himself sick every time he had "impure thoughts", in an attempt to change his sexuality.

This would be horrendous enough if it was a medical/psychiatric intervention but when you realise it is church led and they forced him to drink something to make him vomit every time he had gay thoughts, it is barbaric! Even worse, in my view, is that this happened in the UK, not with some fundamentalist mid-west US religious nutjob; nor some evangelical African voodoo witch doctor.

I'd say the world's nutjobs are dispersed pretty evenly around the globe. America is like the annoying guy at the party who drinks too much and won't shut up so it only seems like we've got the most.

Religion drives a great deal of evil in the world. It seems impossible to ban it, but at least confine it to consenting adults in private.

"Pray the gay away" is out. This is what today's gay conversion therapy looks like (well, in his case it was 2015, and he explains it here in 2021, but it is still happening):

Part of the problem is that these guys are adept at convincing people that they are consenting to the treatment

Organised religion has a lot to answer for, wars, abuse, etc etc

What about inverse conversion therapy? Someone should throw Joe Rogan in the back of a van, drive him to a discreet location and turn him into a pain pig bottom.

He’s not?

No, he's just a pig.

That's why Transhausen parents start the brainwashing of their GNC kids when they are very little.
Thanks to the PBs, most never experience an orgasm in their lives.

Stories like this kid are very common: his parents didn't want a gay kid, so they taught him that he could only do "girls' stuff" (whatever that is) if he became one.

18 y/o male detransitioner describes what life is like as a young man who was put on puberty blockers at a young age, and put on female hormones by 14, and it's just as devastating as you might think.

He "came out" as trans at age 7 (in other words, his Münchhausen mother forced it on him for her own social clout) and due to his puberty being blocked his body never developed past Tanner Stage 2 (the stage just before puberty, roughly around 11-12 y/o). He is 160 cm, wears shoe size 35 and has "extremely underdeveloped" genitals. He has breasts that will require surgery to remove, and he...
