This is so fucking true especially when some "conversion therapy" is seeing if the person has unaddressed trauma. Often sexual. The difference between trans identification and being gay is that gay is an observable fact: I am attracted to x. Dysphoria, I am distressed about x, is also factual, but "i am actually a man/woman" is not. "I can only cure my dysphoria or be happy living as a man/woman" also cannot be known as that is in the future (and is not true according to stories from detrans people.) Questioning these thoughts is not conversion therapy.
