Gives me hope that I came across a couple of people holding down the comments section defending gay and women's rights in yet another story raging about JK Rowling.

It pisses me off to no end how they have misappropriated and weaponized the idea of “conversion therapy” when they’ve got it all in reverse. It is peak misappropriating LGB goodwill.

It makes me feel so bad for young kids growing up through this. Canada successfully banned "conversion therapy" and it was made it out to be that they banned homosexual to heterosexual conversion therapy. What they actually did was make it impossible for legitimate therapists to help homosexual kids come to terms with themselves, creating a homosexual to transgender conversion therapy because the only thing a therapist can do is affirm their patients feelings. It is so fucking backwards and you cant even describe it to people without being talked down for being a bigot.

After talking with some kids (well teens) who initially thought they were trans because they didn't fit gender norms while having homosexual attraction, these people would be surprised how helpful it can be for gay youth to talk with older gay people to help gain perspective.
