Gender Reconversion Therapy

Gender reconversion therapy refers to efforts aimed at changing an individual's gender identity or expression to align with their sex assigned at birth. It typically involves psychological interventions that seek to dissuade or alter a person's gender identity, often based on the misconception that transgender identities are abnormal or undesirable. This practice is widely discredited by medical and mental health professionals, as it can be harmful and is considered unethical. Modern understanding recognizes gender identity as an intrinsic aspect of a person, and support instead emphasizes affirmation, acceptance, and access to appropriate medical and psychological care.
