Awesome article.
Great read, thanks for sharing.
I make the mistake of reading the comments who think this article is bullshit because of the faith aspect. I fell sorry for those who feel the need to criticize a person’s journey through anger. It was interesting that one person said “BB had trauma and father issues and needed counseling not brainwashing”. I find it interesting because as a psychologist, yes therapy helps. But therapy alone didn’t take the anger out of my own heart. I needed a lot more then just therapy and I don’t see any issue with someone helping BB on his journey as he did. Everyone’s journey is different. But I have seen time and time again that BB’s story is a beautiful example of healing and faith. My favorite story from the bible is the Prodigal Son. Period. Empathy, Unconditional Love, Forgiveness. Things I all struggle with at times.
@FreebirdPartDeux you always find the amazing articles for us to read. Thank you brother.
Branch is one of the good ones.
Six of one, half dozen of the other. And please note this isnt a criticism of mental health treatment. Sometimes things need washed
Branch is going trans?
The ladies football league is officially screwed..

i guess we know which branch is getting pruned
I just hope he doesn’t lose his edge!
Totally reasonable, but I also understand the people who felt it was a bit predatory. I also feel that perspective is reasonable.
You’re welcome. Usually, NYT articles are behind a paywall, so this was a pretty rare exception.
I really dislike the use of predatory in relation to this story. It inappropriate. I will leave it at that without going into a deeper rabbit hole of faith.
