I don't think many psychologists or neuroscientists hold the view that the mind is immutable or that any one aspect of it is sacred to your being. The brain is known to change with experience, and even genetic effects are not unmodifiable.
You are mixing an ethical question with a clinical/scientific one. Without a doubt your gender identity can be changed with varying degrees of efficacy, and by default it is a solution to dysphoria. Whether or not you personally think it is ethical to do so is a different question. I don't agree that there is anything inherently unethical about it. But what I disagree with is your use of force and stigmatization to strawman the argument.

Just to be clear, you can't think of any surgeons or therapists who believe that non binary conversion therapy is prudent?

If or when he does, we should respect the effort it must have taken to find anyone in either profession willing to sign on to the plan.

There is no doubt in my mind that many of the people I've met throughout my academic career would agree with what I just said.

That's all well and good, and I'm sure that plenty of people in every academic field are for sunshine and icecream as well, so that's two things we both agree that they're for.
Can you direct us to any therapists or surgeons who feel that non binary gender conversion therapy is a prudent course of action in the event of depression or dysphoria in such a persons life?

I'm not giving you anyone's contact information; any other questions?
