Worth repeating: The religious right wanted to “pray away the gay.” Now, the progressive left wants to “trans away the gay,” and gay man and lesbians who defend gender nonconforming gay kids from the new medical-conversion therapy are labeled “transphobes” and “TERFS”—or worse.
It is so weird to write online that I don’t think gender-nonconforming kids, who will likely grow up to be gay, should have their natural development compromised by experimental drugs, only to be called a Nazi.

Very true: “‘Trans conversion therapy’ … is essentially an endorsement of gay conversion therapy.”
The discourse around “conversion therapy” is mired in confusion, and it is largely the government’s fault.

“Gay conversion therapy” is the attempt to change an individual’s sexual orientation, often by coercive or abusive means.
“Trans conversion therapy” is a phrase used to…
No, you definitely will, once your donors realize that many of these kids are gay, and most are troubled teens who need proper mental health support.

The real question is what accountability will look like for you. https://t.co/91Px0tZWDQ
Sadly, much of this involves attempts to “trans away the gay” among gender-nonconforming kids. Tragic.

Many progressive young people have been convinced by gender ideologists that voicing opposition to radical transactivism is “violence” that must be suppressed.

Under the new rules, parents who refuse to use the alternative pronouns for their children or refuse to pay for their transitioning could be criminally prosecuted. https://t.co/Zgw1rK7DoV

Not “groomers” and shouldn’t be outlawed. But let’s not pretend activists don’t have an agenda for promoting DQSH.
The gay to transgender pipeline amongst people under 25 is wild.

Yup. I was one of two in my class’s “LGB”T+ pride club who graduated as just LGB. To my knowledge, only 1 entered the club as a T. It has been wild – so wild I had to write a book discussing it.

Or maybe the tide is turning, and least in some places:
As the evidence of destroyed lives keeps mounting, woke LGBTQ+ activists choose not to see or hear what’s happening, secure in the destructive narrative they continue to promote.
Jamie Reed provides deeply disturbing examples of “how little patients understood what they were getting into,” for example:
Three months later she called the surgeon’s office to say she was going back to her birth name and that her pronouns were “she” and “her.” Heartbreakingly, she told the nurse, “I want my breasts back.” The surgeon’s office contacted our office because they didn’t know what to say to this girl.
My colleague and I said that we would reach out. It took a while to track her down, and when we did we made sure that she was in decent mental health, that she was not actively suicidal, that she was not using substances. The last I heard, she was pregnant. Of course, she’ll never be able to breastfeed her child.
She also writes:
Then I came across comments from Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman who is a high official at the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The article read: “Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, said that clinics are proceeding carefully and that no American children are receiving drugs or hormones for gender dysphoria who shouldn’t.”
I felt stunned and sickened. It wasn’t true. And I know that from deep first-hand experience.
So I started writing down everything I could about my experience at the Transgender Center. Two weeks ago, I brought my concerns and documents to the attention of Missouri’s attorney general. He is a Republican. I am a progressive. But the safety of children should not be a matter for our culture wars.
