Pro-trans Dems creating backup plan to attack counselors in case Supreme Court rejects their censorship

Democrats in Colorado, who for several years now have been challenging California’s status as the leader in the extremist state stakes, are creating a backup to their total speech control plan for counselors, regarding transgenderism, in case they lose the current case pending at the Supreme Court.

That case, Chiles v. Salazar, could be decided any time now, as the oral arguments were a few months ago. At the time, reports confirmed the court’s majority “seemed eager to strike down Colorado’s law,” and that ruling could impact similar attacks on free speech in dozens of other states.

Leftists constantly portray the counseling at issue as “conversion therapy,” as if a counselor was trying to convince a boy that he’s a girl, or vice versa. It’s not. In actually, it is simply a counselor talking to a client about unwanted same-sex or other alternative attractions.

Colorado’s law mandates that counselors should encourage clients to move into the LGBT lifestyle choices but forbids them from encouraging those same clients from living their lives as the sex they were born.

Therein lies the Supreme Court case, as a counselor charges state lawmakers have violated the Constitution’s First Amendment by mandating exactly what she can, and cannot, say.

Promoters of the ideology say a proclivity for same-sex or transgender behavior is a person’s “sexual orientation” and never is “corrected.”

Actually, LGBT community members multiple times have simply chosen to leave those lifestyles, and even courts now have recognized the damages from the transgender procedures, and have awarded its victims damages from the perpetrators.

Colorado leftists claim they only are trying to regulate “therapeutic practices,” not speech, an argument that found little favor at the Supreme Court.

But now Democrats in Colorado are doubling down.

They are working on House Bill 26-1322 that would say there’s a legal “cause of action” for plaintiffs who want to sue counselors.

Democrat lawmaker Alex Valdez claims his proposal would address the “harms” that are “well documented.”

“Colorado is making a statement that we will not make it easy to cause harm, we will continue working towards a world where LGBTQ people are treated as equals not in need of ‘conversion,'” claimed.

The goal would be to create a literal threat to any counselor who diverges from the pro-LGBT advocacy of the Democrats.

Chiles is an evangelical Christian therapist in Colorado Springs and right now is being censored by the earlier state law.

She would face further threats under the Democrats’ new plan, which would claim “psychological injury or illness” on the part of those who are counseled against choosing an LGBT lifestyle.

The “victim” who was by a counselor encouraged to accept their biological sex could sue, and be awarded economic, non-economic and exemplary damages for hearing counseling that that person likely requested.

Further, reports confirm the Democrats would allow such a lawsuit “at any time, without being subject to typical statutes of limitations.”

The proposal states, “The psychological harm caused by sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts often do not manifest until years or decades after the efforts occurred. Survivors frequently fail to recognize such treatment as harmful and fail to connect their psychological injuries to the treatment until much later in life or are deterred from coming forward by shame instilled by the treatment itself.”

LGBT organizations are enthusiastic in support of the punishment for counselors trying to help clients.

CBS reported the lawsuits also could name the therapists, facilities that hire them, and “anyone who knew or should have known about the therapy.”
