I'll just remind you of one leftists are familiar with, which I already mentioned if you were paying attention: homophobes sometimes pressure their subjects into transitioning so they can be straight. They can't accept same-sex relations, so they force one of them to become the opposite sex. Iran does this.

Okay. So it doesn't happen in america? Because the meme doesn't look set in Iran.

Homophobic parents and even gender essentialist schools sometimes pressure kids into transitioning when they have no desire to. Kids are also susceptible to internalizing gender norms.

Are there any examples out there?

Plenty. There's no way you've never ever heard of this, and I'm not going to write a whole book for you, which seems to be what you expect everyone to do. We should both be familiar with all viewpoints.

I've never heard of this, and i find it difficult to believe.

You don't need to write a book. Just link to an example.

I already gave you one, and that wasn't good enough.

What the fuck?

What was the link to the one you gave me?

I gave you Iran as an example. There are plenty of people in the US with that same mindset.

Okay. I accept that it happens in Iran.

The causes of anti-homosexual policy in Iran is their interpretation of Islamic law, which in turn holds up the government, which is a theocracy.

I don't accept that those things are affecting policy in the US.

Yet.
