I was talking about forcing people to undergo such a treatment, or coercing them into it some other way. That's barbaric.

If someone really wants to change their gender or orientation and is really sure I don't see why it would not be allowed, but that was not my point.

Right, I agree. My original reading of the comment had me interpreting it as 'changing or attempting to change sexual orientation ever is barbaric', which I had a slight disagreement with depending upon the context. Apologies.
