josh susser<p>This is a good video from Forrest Valkai knocking down a "let's protect conversion therapy" bill in Oklahoma, and criticizing conversion therapy in general.</p><p>But I have to say, it always bothers me that we see so many straight allies denouncing queer conversion therapy (which is a good thing), but I can't remember ever seeing even a single allistic person denounce ABA that way. Queer conversion therapy and ABA are the same thing, created by the same person, just done on different groups. It sucks that somehow being queer is worthy of people standing up for you, but being autistic is not. So we have to do it all ourselves without any help from allistics.</p><p>Every time I see someone stand up against conversion therapy, I want to reply NOW DO ABA! What will it take for people to care about us the way they care about everyone else?<br><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ABA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ABA</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ConversionTherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConversionTherapy</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/StopTheShock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheShock</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/qxFhiJn9wRU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/qxFhiJn9wRU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

MissConstrue<p>Ok, this is some serious camel nose under the tent shit right here. This is like the Gay Wedding Cake that never existed that they used to get to the Supremes. Three courts have ruled against this “counselor” who says she only wants to “talk about conversion therapy”, she doesn’t want to waterboard kids, or trap them in solitary freezing rooms, or smother them in blankets until they die....she doesn’t want to KILL gay kids, she only wants to make them feel bad so they kill themselves. </p><p>That the Supremes agreed to hear this case after multiple courts said she didn’t have cause or standing, is bad news for everyone, <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> people and their allies.</p><p>If <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/conversionTherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conversionTherapy</span></a> becomes legal, Ima need to train a lot of people in how to take over a building and free captives.

David<p>Hello there, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://newsie.social/@AnnieWaldman" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>AnnieWaldman</span></a></span> at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://newsie.social/@ProPublica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ProPublica</span></a></span>. Are you going to respond to this or any of the other stories about your recent reporting? You usually take more editorial care, and your network is usually more responsive to feedback, but so far, you've been silent on the feedback about promoting <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ABA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ABA</span></a> (which is <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/conversionTherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conversionTherapy</span></a> against Autistics rather than LGBTQ+ folks) in your recent story, despite several prominent responses from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> advocates and experts. </p><p>Readers expect more accountability from ProPublica than from the likes of the Murdoch media. Are we mistaken, or is a response forthcoming? </p><p><a href="https://therapistndc.org/letter-to-the-editor-of-propublica-in-response-to-unitedhealth-is-strategically-limiting-access-to-critical-treatment-for-kids-with-autism/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">therapistndc.org/letter-to-the</span><span class="invisible">-editor-of-propublica-in-response-to-unitedhealth-is-strategically-limiting-access-to-critical-treatment-for-kids-with-autism/</span></a></p>
