Encouraging kids to be their authentic selves is suicide prevention.
Conversion therapy is a death sentence.
It’s time we all get clear on that.

@Strandjunker And note that the exact same is true of #autistic kids: teaching them to be their authentic selves is #suicide prevention, and "Applied Behavior Analysis" (#ABA, = coerced conformity "therapy") is a death sentence.
Indeed, #ABA is just conversion therapy for autistics. Invented by the same people for the same purpose — making everyone "normal", regardless of how they feel about it, or what it does to who they are.
LukefromDC@dedicto @Strandjunker @autistics Sounds like that Rotenberg shit to me, which would have been 100% unsurvivable for me.
@LukefromDC @Strandjunker @autistics Rotenberg is merely the most extreme form of it. But even the mildest forms of it are intensely toxic.
