Lest we think conversion therapy is going away, there is this in South Carolina.

South Carolina Lawmakers Halt Abortion, Conversion Therapy Bills By Walking Out

Without a quorum, the Senate committee couldn't hold a vote on the restrictive legislation.

I think this is very good advice. My attitude is, "F with me? No, I'm gonna F with you!" But I am an adult and the audience here is mainly youth and those involved with religion extremists. I wish I could turn the tables on these conversion therapy idiots, because I feel so bad for anyone having dealt with this. The comparison to a POW situation is striking! I could also see a person being attacked by a pack of hyenas. Thanks for posting it Donica!

Along with the abortion thing, I had an almost laughable experience last year. When I started to have my vulva problems, I decided to see the ob/gyn at my local Planed Parenthood.
Driving up there, I was greeted by hacklers and protesters, who tried to prevent me to enter the parking lot, yelling at me that abortion is a sin, and lots of similar phrases.
OK, I know that I look extremely gorgeous (hi, hi, hi), but not that really young anymore to be a candidate for an abortion.
I opened the car window, and asked a protester, a middle aged guy, what's up. He came to the car, and told me that I should not abort my unborn baby, etc. I told him, if he finds a way to get me pregnant, I would sure not abort the baby. He looked a bit closer at me, and sure found that I am not a spring chicken anymore, and he kind of apologized for having bothered me.
The real funny thing was, while he was talking with me, two other cars drove in, and I found later that those two were pregnant young women.
The ob/gyn told me that they don't do any abortions at this clinic anyway, and those young women came for maternal services.
And she also could not help me with my vulva problems!

Those people only worry about things pre birth, they could give a rat's butt about those who have been born. They are extremists, radicals in my view. Perhaps this is why fascism might not scare some of them as much as it does me. As long as their type guy is telling everyone how to run their lives, that is. A certain portion would be good with a Christian theocracy. If you think they are gonna stop as abortion, nah, they will be after birth control as well. Trans people? Forgetabout it!

If one is super Christian, I can understand the abortion thing to some extend, but have no clue what they base the negative attitude towards trans women on, while they seem to be kind of OK with intersex people.
But what is really confusing to me is the fact, almost all these people are for the death penalty!

It's all about being able to blame others and feel smugly superior to them. Any true Christians I've met were cool with LGBTIA+ folks. Being 'pro life' and being for the death penalty is inconsistent certainly, but I go back to my blame argument.
