Cincinnati tonight became only the second city in the nation to ban the use of "ex-gay" or "conversion" therapy on minors.

The City Council voted 7-2 to ban the practice, following a favorable vote two nights ago by the Budget and Finance Committee, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The ordinance adopted by the council imposes a $200-a-day fine for violation. Washington, D.C., has prohibited use of the discredited therapy on minors, as have California, New Jersey, Oregon, and Illinois.

I'm happy for this, although I have some doubts about how quelling the consequences will be.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

It only affects licensed therapists. Families are still free to subject their children to unlicensed therapists - i.e. pastors, preachers, and clergy.
