This article is pro-conversion therapy, which is NOT the same thing as leaving kids alone to figure out who they are.
Or not even challenging: simply asking them to probe more deeply into why they want to change sex.
That's fine. Any competent doc would do that. But again, if that's what she meant she shouldn't have used term "conversion therapy."
What she is criticizing is the conflation of LGB conversion therapy with helping kids work through dysphoria. @DrDebraSoh
