Erin Reed:

“Last week, Partners for Ethical Care, a group that supports conversion therapy for transgender youth, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court. The brief, submitted in support of Tennessee’s gender-affirming care ban, aimed to present parent narratives on the alleged harm of youth transitioning.

Among these supposed causes were sore throats, Lyme disease, and even manga.”
