Last night, Chelsea Clinton seconded Rep. Ted Lieu’s sentiment:
Honored to introduce with @PattyMurray & @CoryBooker legislation to ban conversion therapy nationwide. #BornPerfect https://t.co/f3h7zB51Xi

Thank you @tedlieu, @PattyMurray & @CoryBooker. Conversion therapy is child abuse by another name &should be illegal everywhere #BornPerfect https://t.co/ixfVtzXb9W

Clinton’s tweet brought about some genuine confusion:

I'm really confused by the "Born Perfect" attitude from people who support gender transitioning for children. https://t.co/P3GEyIFXkk

What about upping hormones to change genders of a 5 yr old kid? Is that abuse also, or nah?

Some people who condemn Conversion Therapy because children are #BornPerfect support Gender Transitioning for children #Odd https://t.co/YeG3ZXN79k

I've always considered myself a @ChelseaClinton fan, but the #BornPerfect hashtag reeks of Transphobia, IMO. #Disappointed https://t.co/mSbe77wNF2
