My question would be closer to, how would you feel if someone high up decided to strip away your attraction to women, and replace it with an attraction to men, because they deemed this more "appropriate", or positive to society.

And now, for the rest of your life, you view having sex with women as disgusting. Would this not be the slightest bit alarming and distressing?

How would you feel if someone high up decided to shave all your hair off? Can we agree it's not the existence of hair clippers which is the bad thing in this scenario, and that it's the "forcing things on people without their consent" which is bad?

So if conversion therapy actually worked, and was just a thing you could freely do or not do - like you can migrate and become a citizen of another country, or join another religion, or learn another language, or get a tattoo, or participate in consenting BSDM, or any other personal choice about your body or life, would it be automatically worse because it's conversion therapy?
