No matter how much proof you provide one doesn't change
debates are supposed to change the audience's mind
It's futile
because all of those no us totally changed my mind
I only take the skeptical position that gay therapy literally doesn't work because the evidence is either that they are psychologically damaging or that they're ineffective. So I wanted evidence that it does work or it comes off as plain pseudoscience without it.
in fact it's so dumb the american psychiatric association wrote this statement
```The validity, efficacy and ethics of clinical attempts to
change an individual's sexual orientation have been
challenged (3,4,5,6). To date, there are no scientifically
rigorous outcome studies to determine either the actual
efficacy or harm of "reparative" treatments. There is
sparse scientific data about selection criteria, risks versus
benefits of the treatment, and long-term outcomes of
"reparative" therapies. The literature consists of anecdotal
reports of individuals who have claimed to change, people
who claim that attempts to change were harmful to them,
and others who claimed to have changed and then later
recanted those claims (7,8,9).
Even though there are little data about patients, it is still
possible to evaluate the theories which rationalize the
conduct of "reparative" and conversion therapies. Firstly,
they are at odds with the scientific position of the American
Psychiatric Association which has maintained, since 1973,
that homosexuality per se, is not a mental disorder. The
theories of "reparative" therapists define homosexuality as
either a developmental arrest, a severe form of psychopathology,
or some combination of both (10-15). In recent
years, noted practitioners of "reparative" therapy have
openly integrated older psychoanalytic theories that pathologize
homosexuality with traditional religious beliefs
condemning homosexuality (16,17,18). ```
Not actual debat
@Deleted User like now lol
I'm gonna trust the American Psychiatric Association on this one.

Or hang the fags 🤷🏼♀️

Idc
"regulating media"
🤔 only if it's the USSR incharge and the paper is named pravda
Electro shock therapy is best to focus on
@🌼Kalina🌹🌸🌹Zay🌹🌸🌹Scott🌼 USSR was nothing compared to the Glorious Nazi Germany
I am in ex-soviet nation, trust me
Straight outta Stalins homeland
but you're forgetting in that statement the APA states that there isn't evidence that shows 'homosexuality' to be a mental illness in the first place and previous literature has been challenged. Rendering any point about 'electroshock therapy' moot
nazis were pretty advanced in healthcare
they were the first to understand the carcinogenic effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs
also @Deleted User Nazis lost to USSR
enough said
And the US
And the UK
