Thank you for (yet another) excellent summary and overview. As you note--Australia seems to be trying to criminalize what is becoming first line in other countries which have looked at the evidence. Maybe it is time for Australia to do a systematic review of the evidence, too.

The concept of criminalising conversion therapy is hard for me to relate to. Attempts to change gaps with lobotomised, electroshock. Drugs etc. Gained a bad rap. Especially as it was mostly involuntary. Somehow this has made a quantum leap by applying to voluntary treatment and to *any* attempt by a third party to help the individual change. Even stranger. It is being applied to children too young to consent on the trans pathway.
