Conversion Therapy Org Files SCOTUS Amicus Saying Strep, Lyme, And Manga Make You Trans

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. In doing so, it disregarded the voices of transgender youth and relied on pseudoscientific explanations for the “causes” of being transgender. Among these supposed causes were sore throats, Lyme disease, and even manga.”
