My daughter is 14, but I'm sure answers for kids younger or older can apply.

The UK is eliminating conversion therapy. The U.S. still has it and Trump has a good chance of forcing people into it.

I'm a dual citizen, I have a queer daughter. I think it's worth taking advantage of that since my wife and I wouldn't forgive ourselves if she got taken from us.

Somehow,.I forgot that "conversion therapy" is anti-gay cult torture-y stuff.

For a bit, I was thinking it was therapy for people who wanted to transition. Because I forgot the word transition and thought it was "convert".

I know this is meaningless, but I felt like sharing. Lol

I wish we could all forget what it means.

That's a very different calculation then! I can't say I'd do it differently in your shoes. Godspeed.
