Anyway, the "genderists" are the ones saying that gender is complex and can be described as different things at different times under different circumstances (non-binary identity) and can be experienced by the subject as changing over time (fluidity)

And that the evil of conversion therapy is that it's trying to change something externally and against your will, not that it's changing something that's in principle impossible to change

It's interesting that you say this - do you think conversion therapy (if there was a "successful" version out there) would be okay if it was authentically desired? Serious question, I honestly can't guess what you'd say there.

I dunno, I think it's possible for someone who didn't use to like eating meat to start eating meat and enjoy it, or even to intentionally try to make themselves eat it to "broaden their horizons" and have it work

I think, however, that someone who sees their own dislike of meat as some kind of disorder or deficiency and tries to embark on an actual program to forcibly change this about themselves has some serious other issues going on and is in an unwell place

At a certain level either you do like something or you don't like it and complicated mental constructs along the lines of Romans 7:15 ("I like this but I DON'T WANT TO LIKE IT") collapse

This really isn't that complicated or big a deal tbh Social conservatives - including TERFs - are right now trying to attack LGBT people with the "recruitment narrative" by just doing a judo flip on conversion therapy

Absurdly, arguing that now that they're fully gay-accepting enlightened liberals who've left the past behind, everyone KNOWS if they're gay FOR SURE from the age of five and anyone trying to "violate" your orientation after that point is EQUALLY PROBLEMATIC

Ironically, this comes coupled with the inverse claim, that gay kids don't exist, have no means to know they're gay, and that structures that discuss gay stuff with kids are useless at best and "grooming" at worst.

Which, one has to wonder how the trans cabal is finding gay kids to convert if gay kids don't actually exist in the first place.

Well yeah They are progressing very rapidly from this performative horror at "gay kids peer pressured to be trans" through the segue to "straight kids peer pressured to be gay"
