I'm not sure how this interferes with parental rights (not saying it doesn't, I'm just not sure how). What is clearer to me is how it tramples all over doctor-patient confidentiality. If I wish to be "cured" of my problems with disorganization, should Big Brother prevent my chosen therapist from helping me achieve that goal just because certain professional organizations and the self-proclaimed "scientists" in the state capital or Congress believe that disorganization is not a sickness and efforts to "fix" it may be potentially harmful?
I am somewhat confused on this proposed law.
Does it mean that someone that wants this therapy can not have it? Does it mean that someone can not be forced by their parents to have this therapy against their will if they are a minor?
There is a hell of a lot of difference in the two above questions.
What does the proposal really say legally?
Exactly. I have an anxiety disorder and I’ve used CBT to successfully manage it with therapy.
In my case, I was clearly born this way but it’s not a useful thing even if it’s “natural”.
If teens who don’t want to be sexually attracted to same-sex people are denied therapy, how is this helpful?
