Thought for the day..

 

Many people would say that conversion therapy as it relates to gay men or lesbians is a bad thing, unlikely to be successful and ultimately damaging to the wellbeing of the person involved, I would agree with this position. 

However, think about the following,

Premises:
1. Someone feels ugly, fears rejection or has severe self-esteem issues.
2. Person identifies as Asexual or perhaps Aromantic, escaping social pressure to date.
3. Person attends psychotherapy.  Their self-esteem improves, and they feel ready to try dating and sex.

Question:
Was this conversion therapy of asexuality/aromanticism or are some modern gender designations simply labels for previously unlabelled mental-health conditions?
