It risks incentivizing suicide—take revenge on hateful parents by killing yourself—but an example needs 2 be made of #LeelahAlcorn's parents

      LRT: Filth like @fakedansavage is a good example of the double standard of the left & exactly why we should support Josh Alcorn’s parents.

    @fakedansavage What benefit is there for anyone from going after them? Not going to bring her back & they're already suffering. (1/2)

    @fakedansavage And I truly doubt threat of prosecution will make parents nicer to their trans kids. (2/2)

      & counsellors pushing ‘conversion therapy’ should, at very least, be stripped of their licences #LeelahAlcorn #FuckReligion #FuckTransphobia

      @nitpickette01 that's one terrible aspect of the story. He's drawn into it with no fault of is own.

      @PisseArtiste yes—it’s a shame. I don’t object to suicide,nor think it always a sign of mental illness,but I find such a method problematic…

      @PisseArtiste it seems unjust to lay such a burden upon another. I suppose she could not identify & effectively implement another method. 😞

    @fakedansavage her parent =vile and horrid. Criminalization of parents of suicide is a very dangerous slope. Ban reparitve therapy.

    @fakedansavage The answer here, as with many things, is to bridge empathy gaps like her parents' with more empathy. We can make it better.
