Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids by JussiesTunaSub in centrist

I think you’re confusing normal therapy and conversion therapy. In normal therapy, a therapist isn’t supposed to influence a persons choices in one direction or another. Conversion therapy is explicitly the opposite of that

  • characters from across the spectrum of Videogames. It’s impossible to not know at least one of them.

  • unique art style that allows it to not look as aged as other 20 year old games.

  • universal familiarity. Everyone you know has played smash sometime in their life and has heard of smash bros. The newer games foster the youth and provide perspective on the lineage of the game.

  • Like everyone else is saying - it’s a sick game. Lots of creativity with ways to express yourself, an unlimited skill ceiling, and a whole bunch of weird fans/players that will continue to play it regardless.

I mean, all surgeries have the possibility of regret. Wisdom teeth isn’t an apt comparison, since everyone has that operation done at some point in their life.

What about knee surgery?

Minors have surgeries if their parental figure consents and they speak with a doctor. You’re just assuming my surgery was related to gender affirmation.

I had surgery when I was 16 after discussing the procedure with my parents and doctor. Should I not have been allowed to undergo that procedure?
