Conversion therapy is harmful to trans/nonbinary mental health. Annoy a TERF/transphobe & protect trans/nonbinary people by using and sharing these tips and techniques to resist and survive conversion therapy. Anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion therapy to "change" a trans/nonbinary person's gender identity is unethical, harmful pseudo-science denounced by all major US health organizations, and doesn't work. These resistance techniques, presented by Eric Tannehill, were developed by trans/nonbinary advocates teaming up with experts on interrogation psychology, and include techniques used by Prisoners of War (POWs). We've also thrown in some fun cartoon and pop culture content including scenes from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Owl House, Gravity Falls, She-Ra, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Vs the Forces of Evil, Voltron, Princess Bride, Simpsons, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and more! Hope you enjoy and if you get something useful out of the video, please comment.
