    So in the next 10-20 years we’ll get to see:

    ~Fundamentalist groups aggressively adopting LGBTQ kids to ‘prove’ they can be converted.

    ~Lots of suicides.

    ~Possible murders of parents after some of the kids snap outwards instead of inwards.

    ~One or two warped ‘formerly-LGBTQ’ adults that are successfully brainwashed to say they appreciate being kidnapped and tortured and write a terrible book about it and be a conservative show-pony for a few years.

    ~One or two creative survivors that use their fucked up childhood experiences to write very thoughtful books or maybe direct a movie about it.

    ~A metric fuckload of totally unnecessary pain, suffering, loneliness and confusion we’ll never hear about.

    Pretty good haul for one bill.

    This is fucking disgusting. As someone going through the final steps of becoming a foster parent, having had to do dozens of hours of training for it, this is cruel and will result in deaths

      Erin Reed is married to Zooey Zephyr, Montana’s first transgender state legislator, and does well researched articles about legislation and other things that affect the US trans community. Her truthful and responsible work is absolutely essential to the trans community and makes up for a mainstream media landscape that will generate garbage clickbait for profit not giving a shit if they kill us in the process.
