It doesn't to me. Who is right?

The victims are right.

Conversation Therapy is associated with increased suicide risks[1]. People are literally killing themselves as a result of going through that experience. I suggest you think more about it.

You are free to have your own definition of "violence", so let's instead settle on the more specific "psychological abuse"[2] and agree that it's not something we, as a society, should accept.

It has severe consequences for the victim. While it's not physical violence, it does far more harm than a punch.

Are you really that confident that LGBT is not simply a less-common, totally healthy form of the human experience?
