A new book about #trans youth from The Wall Street Journal's @AbigailShrier has some truly disturbing recommendations.

Page 215: She recommends parents isolate their trans children by sending them to live on horse farms with no internet, hoping that will make them cisgender.
She asserts that children whose parents isolated them in this way all "desisted" from identifying as #transgender.

If a parent sends their kid to a horse farm with no internet to try to make them cisgender, it's not surprising that the kid's going to go back in the closet.
These practices are cruel gender identity conversion therapies, and they've been labelled unethical & dangerous by The American Medical Association, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Psychiatric Association, and The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
