Does it work?

Hi, I’m Mizuki.

Today, I’m going to talk about whether conversion therapy work or not.
According to a website named THINKPROGRESS, there are some participants who claimed that it worked and they become heterosexual. However, there is no scientific evidence and it is based on the testimony that whether they believe the effect of conversion therapy or not.



Also, according to Marcus James who was subjected to a conversion therapy at the age of 14, he said that conversion therapy is all about breaking down the participants' spirit. Therefore, I think that people who claimed that they became heterosexual are not actually became heterosexual. I think they just became self-hated and can’t accept themselves.
