This post was a bat signal for Israel apologists to come in and troll with a "why were they in prison?" which was literally in my post. The Iranian regime are bastards too. They persecute and murder LGBTQ people. Yet, it was still Israel that massacred…

This is conversion therapy by gauntlet. I can't imagine being 14 being interrogated by a panel of adults for hours over my gender. This is torturous. What other healthcare is subject to this? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

When you gatekeep care and explicitly prevent it when other issues exist, trans youth will just conceal it so they can access transition care. It's worse off for everyone. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
