The poster is saying he's looking for cases of trans people being attacked by conversion therapy. I understand exactly what he's doing. He's engaging to flip around a piece of rhetoric to throw back at them but he's playing around with rhetoric that's loaded with massive suppositions which he inherently accepts by accident.

This is a trick in rhetorical games where you have to accept a certain premise to respond to their rhetoric.

And i've heard this trans talking point as well: "you're trying to convert people with gender dysphoria"..which is what these people are doing, transexualizing them to "fix" their dysphoria. There are no examples of this because "transing" people IS the conversion therapy.

And he's not aware of the lingo but the word he's looking for is "de transitioners". The key to responding to their rhetoric is the de-transitioners who were manipulated into transitioning as a solution to their dysphoria and it was a disaster for them.
