Your question gets at something profound. Carl Jung would likely agree with much of what Howard Zinn said, though he’d frame it differently. Jung observed that when any idea, value, or system becomes too dominant in society—whether it’s technocratic control, bureaucratic “safety,” or a fixation on efficiency—its opposite inevitably rises with equal force. This is the law of enantiodromia: the pendulum swings. The more a system tries to seal itself off, the more the collective unconscious pushes back. What seems like closure today may actually be setting the stage for a strong counter-movement tomorrow. Zinn might say the same from a political lens: power feels most secure when ordinary people believe resistance is pointless. Jung would add that this very belief sparks the return of the repressed—the yearning for liberty, dignity, and real human connection that the system has tried to suppress. Both warn against fatalism. The current “closure” feels heavy because it’s so one-sided, but history and psychology suggest no such imbalance lasts forever. The resourcefulness of ordinary people—their refusal to be fully absorbed by the machine—hasn’t vanished. It’s simply waiting for the tension to snap. When it does, the opposite force Jung described won’t ask permission; it will just emerge. The task now is to stay aware, keep small freedoms alive, and be ready when the pendulum swings back.
Schrodinger's cat comes to mind. Schrodinger stated that a cat in a box is neither dead nor alive and only becomes dead or alive once it is observed. His point was that the mere act of observation affects outcomes. He was talking of physics, but it applies here. The observation of sexual dysfunction creates the dysfunction.
As with any ideology, progressivism starts with the answers, and then observes only that which substantiates their answers. In many cases, the observations are merely illusionary, no facts involved.
I've challenged progressives based not on what they believe to be true, but on what evidence they have to substantiate it. And they always have evidence. But it never even approaches the impartiality of the scientific method. Their premise is their conclusion, with essentially no evaluation in between.
Psychotherapy cannot ultimately help because it is rooted in atheism,
attempting to explain human nature and behavior without regard to the Creator.
Multitudes suffer from depression and mental instability because they are trying to live life in defiance of their conscience, which was given by the Creator. Many testify to resolving the issue by getting their God concept right. Everyone has a concept of God, including atheists and agnostics. But our understanding of God must be accurate.
Trans need help.
The problem is - according to the Creator - that they are mentally disturbed, morally corrupted,
and sexually perverted.
They need to get right with the Creator - the true and living God - and experience His life transforming work.

Carly Jung was an atheist, without understanding of what is true in the universe.
"Radical activists hail this as "conversion therapy,""
Some governments call it that and banned it.
Of course, chopping off genitals and giving the wrong hormones for a body is not "conversion".

Psychotherapy is not an adequate solution.
The mind and the brain are not the same.
Drugs cannot impact the brain.
