Scary! We Can Make You Straight

Here in Connecticut we banned have banned conversion therapy for minors but what happens when the government sponsors conversion therapy. Even though it is “voluntary” will they force trans people to take it?

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A Malaysian state plans to run a conversion therapy course aimed at transgender women, officials said Saturday, sparking alarm among LGBT activists in the conservative Muslim-majority country.

The course would run over several days next year after authorities had completed a survey of the transgender population, a Terengganu state official said.

Participation in the course would be voluntary, Ghazali said, adding that the program would include medical, psychological and religious experts, as well as transgender women who have “returned to normal lives.”
The question is how “voluntary” is it?

Will someone be standing behind them with a club tapping his hand with it?
A Human Rights Watch report in 2017 wrote that discrimination against LGBT people was “pervasive” in Malaysia, where there are laws against sodomy, with offenders facing jail time and whipping.
This is not voluntary, it is extortion.

Basically what they are saying you take the voluntary program or we are going to make your life hell.
