And I’m not talking about the article by itself as an example, but how Blanchard’s expressed views and those of the mental health profession in general) would apply to the girls in the article.

That actually says more about you than “this area” or the people researching “it”.

“Casting gays as sexual predators is about as offensive and insensitive as it gets.”
You wouldn’t call Jerry Sandusky gay? Or you wouldn’t think that there are more men like Sandusky? And how would you then explain the fact that there are tons of man-boy porn videos in the Internet, mostly between other porn videos about man-man sex?
I may have misread you, but at this moment I simply don’t understand your position.

have stopped writing such articles a couple of years ago, after I had a change of heart and mind regarding the LGBT community. I apologized for my insensitive remarks, a couple of times: http://www.christianpost.com/news/day-of-silence-revisited-73597 and also once in our IHF newsletter in 2011.

Then I saw where you are dragging in Jerry Sandusky to your opposition to the New Jersey bill on reparative therapy for minors.
Since the New Jersey bill does not forbid treatment for sexually abused youth, your only purpose has to be to make a spurious link between SSA and childhood sexual abuse. Casting gays as sexual predators is about as offensive and insensitive as it gets. So you certainly haven’t stopped writing such articles.
