Lisa discusses hir experiences with conversion therapy, zie also answers questions about hir experiences and shares some of hir activism efforts on the subject. This is part one of a two part series. We believe it is important to provide space for survivors to discuss experiences without their words being edited. This is the profanity unedited version of part one. An edited version of part one will also be posted.
