This is a debate here in Canada.
I read one article just now, but it sounds different.
~~This is reasonable IMO. If I'm reading this correctly, the children aren't being forcibly outed. Also I believe conversion therapy is illegal now, so in theory, this would be healthy.~~
~~Frankly, I would want children to have access to supportive parents OR qualified social workers.~~
EDIT: It's not different that the US if you read other articles
That's not different at all, and yes you read it wrong. They are being forcibly outed.
Okay. I read more and yeah it's basically the same as the US. Apologies for the misstatement
Don't defend these terrible people. You don't have to cover for transphobia
I'm not defending transphobia. I read the news article wrong.
I thought it was saying that children who felt unsafe coming out to their parents would be given a psychologist to help them come up with a plan to deal with their family.
That's not the case, but if it was, I would possibly be supportive of that as long as conversion therapy is illegal.
