![]() ![]() As we celebrate Boy Erased, “we also need to redouble our efforts to fight for the most vulnerable members of the community it portrays” (Trans Lifeline). In the past few weeks, both the Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline have received four times the normal call rate, with a significant increase in new calls. We have teamed up with the Trevor Project, GLAAD, The National Center for Lesbian Rights, HRC, PFLAG, The Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., and several other leading LGBTQ+ groups to help spread this message.īut we also want to share even more important message, especially in light of the current administration’s proposed idea of limiting gender classifications and therefore of erasing trans lives: that “ trans people are twice as likely as LGB people to be subjected to conversion therapy, which substantially increases the risk for suicide” (Trans Lifeline). ![]() One of Boy Erased’s primary goals is to spread awareness of conversion therapy so that no household in America remains ignorant of the fact that over 700,000 Americans have been subjected to conversion therapy and over 20,000 Americans are currently affected by this abusive practice. ![]()
