Federal judge there just declared that homosexuality can be considered a disease, and legalized (as well as condoned) conversion therapy. They’re also apparently voting on removing funding for reproductive care, including abortions for rape victims.
You’d think the country famous for topless flounces wandering down the street, and a prostitute on every corner wouldn’t be so regressive.
There’s a renewed push from some far right guys in my field to reclassify homosexuality as a mental illness, and to overturn bans on conversion therapy.
Any clinician that condones or practices conversion therapy should have their license revoked, and the Ph.D or PsyD annulled.
The APA and APS( of which I’m a member) have firm stances on this issue.
Barring a massive paradigm shift, homosexuality will never be classified as a mental illness and conversion therapy will remain fundamentally outlawed.
I’m just going to go ahead and be honest. I get depressed when my posts on Reddit don’t do well. It makes me think people don’t like what I post. Sometimes, a post of mine gets over 500 upvotes. I even had 3 posts get over 50000 upvotes. That makes me extremely happy. But when a post of mine gets taken down because of it breaking a rule or something I expect to do well doesn’t do well, I get sad.
