A young man stands in a room, swinging a tennis racket into a pillow as hard as he can, gripping the racket until his hands bleed. Every strike is joined by the scream of "Mom!" as the racket impacts the effigy of the boy's mother.

Unfortunately, this is not fiction; it is one of the pseudo-scientific methods used in the underground practice of so-called conversion therapy. It is just one of the ineffective, harmful practices aimed at attempting to "change" a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
