THREAD: #ConversionTherapy is still around, but in the 21st century, it’s being rebranded as progressive. Today, Lesbians United is delving into the rampant medical abuse of #lesbian and #gay youth in the US. (1/10)
The science is clear: girls who are attracted to other girls are being targeted for medicalization. This is #ConversionTherapy, plain and simple. Src: archive.is/ycDme #lesbianrights #SaveTheTomboys (2/10)
How are young lesbians being targeted? Through a DSM-V entry that treats non-conformity to stereotypes as a symptom of mental illness. Young #lesbians often fit this description. #SaveTheTomboys (3/10)
Research shows that tomboys tend to grow up lesbian. Src: archive.is/AWWPp

The US medical establishment is trying to “cure” them with drugs and surgery. #SaveTheTomboys #LeaveThoseKidsAlone (4/10)
Some tomboys do experience confusion or distress over their biological sex. But it’s extremely likely that they’ll get over those feelings on their own, and grow up to be comfortable with themselves. No need to medicalize them. #mentalhealth #SaveTheTomboys (5/10)
That goes for boys, too: gay boys are less likely than straight boys to fit "macho" stereotypes, and thus more likely to be diagnosed with #genderdysphoria. Src: archive.is/sQi1M #EndGayEugenics (6/10)
Straight from the mermaid’s mouth: kids who show early signs of homosexuality are being targeted for medicalization in the name of #progress. Src: tinyurl.com/2p9fa5mz #mermaids #EndGayEugenics (7/10)
Doctors who put children on the path to “transition” are making the lesbian community smaller, sicker, and more economically disadvantaged. #SaveTheTomboys #conversiontherapy #bigmed #bigpharma (8/10)
It’s sold as “affirmation,” but Lesbians United can see it for what it is: #woke conversion therapy. 300+ U.S. clinics are putting young lesbians through dangerous and experimental medical procedures to make them fit social norms. Src: archive.md/DFE5X (9/10)
Where have all the #tomboys gone? Where are the young #butch #lesbians? The US medical establishment is making them disappear. (10/10)

Children can’t #consent to sex. Children can’t consent to sexual experiments. Children can’t consent to sexual mutilation. #SaveTheTomboys (1/3)
The majority of children being asked to “consent” to sexual medical #abuse will grow up lesbian or gay. Homophobic medical experiments aren’t just for Nazi doctors anymore. Now, they’re #woke. (2/3)
Would you rather have a healthy #lesbian daughter, or a #BigPharma-dependent facsimile of a straight son? #SaveTheTomboys (3/3)

What is the "affirmative model?"
#healthcare #therapy #mentalhealthmatters
Let's unpack the difference between the “watchful waiting method” and the “affirmative model,” & how the “affirmative model” locks kids into confusion, distress & medicalization for life. (1/10)
“Watchful waiting” means that parents, therapists, and teachers neither affirm nor deny a child’s desire to be the opposite sex. When a girl says she wants to be a boy, the adults in the room wait to see if she’ll grow out of it on her own. #mentalhealthawareness (2/10)
“Affirmation” means that a girl who wants to be a boy is told she IS a boy. Her parents have her birth certificate changed. Her teachers call her by a boy’s name. Her peers are ordered to play along. She’s given drugs to prevent normal maturation, and told she NEEDS them. (3/10)

We need to talk about #genderdysphoria. First: what is it? Let’s ask @APAPsychiatric: archive.is/AT7Np #gendercritical #womenwontwheesht (1/9)
@APAPsychiatric It’s true that some kids experience distress or confusion over biological sex. But studies show that those feelings are likely to resolve on their own during puberty, without any interference. No diagnosis or medicalization needed. #mentalhealth (2/9)
@APAPsychiatric Up to 98% of kids who experience distress over #biosex desist naturally, depending on the study. Find the most recent study, in which 88% of subjects desisted, here: archive.is/sQi1M #healthcare #science (3/9)
