People on my FB are making insane comments saying shes in support of conversation therapy for kids. Even when I clicked on the article they didnt give any direct quotes. Im not on twitter can someone tell me what actually was said?

WHAT? It's the actual opposite she is saying but alas - people don't want to read, think, study or criticize anything anymore. Too much brain work I suppose. In any case, just go a bit up in this thread and you will find what she ACTUALLY said (u/venecia posted the thread). Also, as another member recommended, you can just google and find her real tweets :)

The great irony, of course, is that what's REALLY "conversion therapy" -- telling thousands of GNC kids that since they don't conform to their gender's stereotypes they must really be young men, women, or "neither," or telling kids that it's OK to express themselves how they want to, it doesn't change who they are? Oh, the horror!

(Also - not sure if that was a mistype? Did you mean conversion therapy? Because converSATION therapy is certainly what 99% of these kids need. :D)

From what I can tell they think she chose "Robert Galbraith" as a pen name to match "Robert Galbraith Heath", a psychiatrist who tried gay conversion therapy in the 1950s. Nevermind that the psychiatrist went by "Robert G. Heath", this is enough evidence for them to say she supports gay conversion therapy.

Oh, and she wrote a trans person as a villain in one of these stories under the Galbraith moniker. I am not making this up.
