I wanted to go ahead and get this interview out there ASAP. I’ll make a more in-depth post soon – including how PJI responds to Jane Doe’s mother and what they think about ex-gay and ex-transgender conversion therapy (clue: they think it’s worth fighting for).
Here’s the interview:

Is there anything in this that might be triggering?
It’s an ex-gay group who feels okay about destroying the life of a trans kid.
Viewer discretion advised.
So, If they believe being gay is a mental illness – why are they relying on the judgement of someone they consider to be a mentally ill person to target a minor? It wouldn’t seem to be in keeping with the highest professional standards, would it? Or have they had this person undergo a mental health assessment to assure their deficits don’t effect their judgement when it comes to issues regarding transgender minors or trans issues in general?
For that matter – how could they make an informed professional statement that it’s obvious that someone needs treatment who they’ve never observed? Especially a teen? On Gossip? One certainly hopes not.
If the standard is that the person’s existence is harassment, without any action by that person, what meaning does the term have? how does this standard become limited? Can’t it be applied to all spaces? And all people?
