    This is exactly why I am luck to have citizenship so we can emigrate to the UK. My daughter is queer (not trans, but they will come for all queer people eventually) and the UK is working to outlaw conversion therapy.

    I wish I could take every queer person, especially every trans person, with us.

      Are you sure about the UK squid? Wasn’t there a huge ordeal there for not extending the conversion therapy ban to transgender care? That’s what I had read.

        My daughter is not transgender. She defines herself (at 14, she’s still figuring things out) as omnisexual, but she’s only ever been interested in girls.

        And yeah, they’ll go after the trans people first, but they won’t stop there.

          Sure, ok, just don’t fool yourself thinking the place is safe. Transgender people have been targeted with all the hate right enough, but things are not as chill for gay people as they used to be either.
