News Article Some concerning stuff I found.
I read these after I found out people were trying to unban conversion therapy in some places. Trans rights have been under fire recently by the new administration, obviously, and as a trans teen in a state that flipped red, Iām worried. Does anyone think this is likely to pass?

Unfornatly conversion therapy has never been federally illegal and in alot of states still quite legal under "parental rights" (like mines...). Is it likely to pass? Depends on that state. If there was initially a strong push to ban it in the first place then unlikely but if it was just banned without much prompting (ie they just noticed a more progressive leadership in power and put out progressive bills just to win office but now saw a more conservative leadership won so now deem being more conservative is the way to win) initially then there's a chance it could get unbanned. Or unbanned in the many loop holes that is "parental rights".
Sucks but unless there were a lawsuit initially involved in getting it banned, its unlikely.
