They compare it with their preferred approach "unconditional acceptance"
Exploring whether a child's dysphoria is a symptom of a development disorder.
Exploring whether "asexuality" has another cause.
= Conversion therapy according to this study
Here is a case example they give from their interviews
And here is one of the very few a academic studies they cite as evidence on the nature of gender identity conversion. They say @ZUCKERKJ is a conversion therapist

They are certainly not ruling out therapists and other clinicians
Let's look at what JK Rowling has been harassed and condemned for

They say that you can take it from them with "high confidence" that around 1 in 200 people have a "gender identity different from their sex at birth" 🤨
So who is "Mr X" the trans identifying man held in high security male prison after multiple convictions for luring boys into sex acts while pretending to be a teenage girl on social media?
Could it be former children’s holiday camp manager Cameron Osman who engaged more than 70 teenage boys in sexualised chat pretending to be a 16-year-old girl “Lizzie lemon”.
The core of the Melanie Hill v Metropolitan Police case is a Trans Day of Visibility event which took place on 31st March 2023, a week after British women's rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen was violently attacked in New Zealand while trying to speak. spiked-online.com/2023/03/28/i-t…
In the run-up to the event, she was demonised in the Australian and New Zealand media, who portrayed her as a neo-Nazi. Attempts were made to have her visa revoked and to shut down her Let Women Speak tour.
In Melbourne, a group of far-Right men crashed the Let Women Speak event, clashing with socialist protestors and performing Nazi salutes.
Moira Deeming who attended tweeted her disappointment at the policing of the event
