Get back to me when it's attempted buggery.

Erm. Are you thinking of a different kind of conservative?

Other than tradition none of those are traditionally Conservative.

You're welcome Clara.

What are you gibbering on about?

I was about to say "I'm not surprised".

I even thought the psychologist and psychiatrist I've seen the past couple of years look almost as miserable and exhausted as me.

Terrible state this country seems to be in.

Section 28 in the UK which banned the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools fucked up a lot of kids in the 90s including me. Thankfully it was repealed.

Don't let America go that route. You'll cause more harm by restricting discussion of sexuality.

As a young teen I thought my attraction to my classmates meant I was a paedophile. It resulted in me cutting, burning and hitting myself whenever I wanked to anything gay as a form of 'DIY conversation therapy'.

I still have the scars at 40 and I only properly came out as gay at 38 after years of self hate.

All I would have needed is a person in authority like a teacher or parent to say "same sex attraction is normal" or "fancying your same sex mates doesn't make you a pedo - you may just be gay".

I know it sounds fucking dumb to hear as an adult but as a confused, angsty, pubescent teen who grew up pre-internet* it made sense that I was perverted, evil and broken.

*The internet doesn't necessarily make it easier for teens to confirm themselves. They could just as easily fall into the same mindset as me due to misinformation rather than ignorance.

I've heard Germans say it's terrible in German too.

Wouldn't if I was you.
