Are you suggesting he was forced into conversion therapy?
I'll check with him to see what he says about being forced into conversion therapy and then get back to you on this.

Update:
It turns out Sam claims he was sent to conversion therapy by his parents when he was a teenager. Brinton's family denies this. It is difficult to know who to believe since both he and his parents have reason to lie about this. Perhaps more telling is that Sam was "first championed — and then heavily questioned — by the trans community over harrowing tales of their childhood." So, apparently even the folks who would be inclined to back him up on his claims are not convinced it happened.
Conversion therapy has been outlawed in approximately half of the states. There are no credible scientific studies proving conversion therapy works to change sexual orientation or gender identity.
