As someone who’s been in consistent mental health treatment - including analysis and intensive therapy - for more than two decades, I would find it hilarious that transphobes think they can ‘cure’ us with therapy, if it weren’t so dangerous. https://twitter.com/Chican3ry/status/1352984331942318082
I’m FULLY here for better mental health care for trans ppl (and all ppl, because life is fucking hard, mental illness is real, and therapeutic thinking around emotions/mind can help everyone) - not to ‘cure’ us, but to help us own our strength, resilience, and happiness.
But there’s a very serious point here, about a certain type of person - in particular, a certain type of parent - who thinks that therapy is where you send a ‘broken’ child to make them more socially acceptable. Just like they did for LGB kids...
