1) can heavy resistance act basically like immutability? 2) if we can't trust the solutions to work (& they probably hurt more than they help), doesn't it cause less harm to let folks be?

but if you want a straight answer: yes, I think "gay conversion" is possible, but I don't think anything calling itself "gay conversion therapy" will succeed, nor is it at all desirable.

Do people with gay fantasies cause a lot of social problems if they go on to act it out in reality?

(beyond that, I wouldn't trust any institutional therapeutic program to succeed, regardless of its aim)

So being gay is a paraphilia now?

There are some processes of development whose initial outcomes you don't choose, but that you can later change through effort and correct practice ("treatment", "therapy", "spiritual journey", etc). This is not restricted to sexuality, it's a common thread of adulthood.

I would ascribe this property to a small subset of identities that we deem "political", and most identities are not.

I'm not sure, most identities are so obvious as to be excluded from the "identity discourse": parent, child, student, employee (of company X), and so forth.

Can some identities increase in effectiveness as more people adopt it? Does identification not itself result in an emotional bond?

Why such a negative view? Are identities zero-sum?

Trauma is a blurry word, but I buy it in a particular sense: identities as strategies for interfacing with the social world to get the things you need (or desire), themselves determined by a sense of persistent (traumatic) "lacking".

Yes, bearded brown dudes still get pulled aside and frisked much more often. This seems to be the sort of thing they're mad about.

Intelligence is a proxy for potentiality. High intelligence means high potential for virtuous action. But also high potential for "evil".

Is this true in governmental programs themselves, like the TSA?

as far as I can tell, moral worth is something that applies to actions and not to people

Heck, not just moral worth, but also "intelligence" falls into this category of "baggy concepts replaced by neat empirical models". IQ is not interchangeable with intelligence.
