No more counselling or support for you gays and troons.
Only affirmations, hormones and some SSRIs if you're feeling a bit noosey.

Rainbow people? That makes them sound like aliens.
Parliament has passed a law that will ban conversion therapy, with the support of nearly all MPs in the House. The law, which makes it a criminal offence to attempt to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity through the harmful therapy practices, was passed on Tuesday evening, with all but eight National MPs voting for it. In a series of impassioned speeches, rainbow members of the House thanked the activists, academics and colleagues for their work getting the bill over the line and into law. In their speeches, MPs Grant Robertson and Dr Elizabeth Kerekere acknowledged that for some, the bill doesn't go far enough to protect vulnerable rainbow people from conversion practice. “In any law, there needs to be access to justice and appropriate penalties, but I believe the select committee has got the balance right here,” Robertson said.
