I will submit this in the extremely near future if none of my fellow delegates find fault with it, with any of the provisions above, or with the disclaimer that gender affirmation therapy is not conversion therapy - which I hope will be increasingly the case now that references to an undefined concept of "gender expression" have been removed. Thanks, Suzie.
"You continue to have our full support, ambassador. This is short and to the point, and it neatly addresses the topic."

Look, some people really don’t want to be what they are. My assistant for example is really dissatisfied with his race- and if he plans to change it via race-conversion therapy that’s his right.

"Ambassador, I have neither the time nor the inclination to sit here and give you a full education on the intensity or risks that are involved in BDSM.

'Shatter' was not misused and let's leave it at that."

Possible a nation has nanotech that advanced."I apologize, ambassador. There appears to be a translation failure. Are you implying that is someone is dissatisfied with their race, you have some kind of shot to change their mind to where they are satisfied? Or are you implying there is some kind of shot to change their body?"
OOC: It's hilarious to be writing someone who is dressed like they walked straight out of Medieval Europe thinking about theories about nanotechnology.
