I had an epiphany today about the fact that beyond my anarchist desires, I have a profound disdain for professional licensure bodies because I see the harm that is perpetuated by them in my work against licensed conversion “therapists”.
Time and time again, licensure boards across medicine, psychology, therapy and others continue to allow this vile evil to be continued in clinical practice with no recourse to those licensed. 
pls get your friends to sign the conversion therapy ban initiative, oki?
Long way to go and it's due 17/5/2025

Finnish Parliament supports a conversion therapy ban initiative.
MPs on Friday approved a citizens' initiative aimed at banning sexual orientation and gender identification conversion therapy in Finland.
Conversion therapy refers to methods aimed at trying to turn sexual minorities into heterosexuals. The practice is usually carried out by priests, pastoral care workers, and youth workers in some conservative religious communities.
U.S. Supreme Court could decriminalize anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy

This is a good video from Forrest Valkai knocking down a "let's protect conversion therapy" bill in Oklahoma, and criticizing conversion therapy in general.
But I have to say, it always bothers me that we see so many straight allies denouncing queer conversion therapy (which is a good thing), but I can't remember ever seeing even a single allistic person denounce ABA that way. Queer conversion therapy and ABA are the same thing, created by the same person, just done on different groups. It sucks that somehow being queer is worthy of people standing up for you, but being autistic is not. So we have to do it all ourselves without any help from allistics.
Every time I see someone stand up against conversion therapy, I want to reply NOW DO ABA! What will it take for people to care about us the way they care about everyone else?

Ok, this is some serious camel nose under the tent shit right here. This is like the Gay Wedding Cake that never existed that they used to get to the Supremes. Three courts have ruled against this “counselor” who says she only wants to “talk about conversion therapy”, she doesn’t want to waterboard kids, or trap them in solitary freezing rooms, or smother them in blankets until they die....she doesn’t want to KILL gay kids, she only wants to make them feel bad so they kill themselves.
That the Supremes agreed to hear this case after multiple courts said she didn’t have cause or standing, is bad news for everyone, #lgbtq people and their allies.
If #conversionTherapy becomes legal, Ima need to train a lot of people in how to take over a building and free captives. I will go to prison as terrorist leader before I will let one more kid be punished for being themselves.
The challenged #law prohibits licensed therapists in #Colorado from performing #ConversionTherapy, which it defines to include efforts “to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.” That includes trying“to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attraction or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”
The law, adopted in 2019, allows treatments that provide “acceptance, support & understanding.”It exempts therapists“engaged in the practice of #religious ministry.”
#SCOTUS will hear a #FirstAmendment challenge to a #Colorado #law banning professional #counseling services engaged in #ConversionTherapy intended to change a minor’s #gender identity or #sexual orientation.
>20 states have similar laws, which are supported by leading #medical groups. Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor, challenged the constitutionality of the Colorado law in federal court, saying it violated her rights to free speech & the free exercise of #religion.

Minutes into his disastrous second term, the #convictedfelon #president repealed many of #President #JoeBiden‘s pro-#LGBTQ+ #orders including allowing #trans #people to #serve in the #military, and others that took aim at #LGBTQ+ #students, #parents, and #protections from #conversiontherapy.
