This is literally the same conversation therapy approach they use against gay people lol* the idea is that people believe they're gay because they are insecure about not being traditionally masculine or feminine enough (usually due to a bad relationship with their parents) and if they just learn how to be masc enough/fem enough then they'll be able to be heterosexual.
