Stella: Crazy. Yeah.
Tara: Crazy, yeah! Tell us about Bill-77. What do you think about Bill-77?
Stella: Um, it’s pretty good to ban conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is really bad.
Tara: Why is conversation therapy so bad?
Stella: It actually is when doctors want to like, know transgender is wrong. Yeah.

Stella: Yes. And after that day of the third reading of Bill-77, um, they banned conversion therapy all over Ontario. If a doctor used it, then the government wouldn’t pay for it.
