Possible tangent:

I seem to recall that back in the days before Stonewall, mainline psychiatry had various "aversion therapies" that were supposed to cure homosexuals (to use the term they used then) of their perversion.  I've heard things that suggested that transgender people got similar "therapies."

I was wondering if the conversion therapies in use now are derived from the psychiatric treatments from those days?
Most conversion "therapies" are derived from brainwashing techniques often with some aversion therapy thrown in. Also Stockholm Syndrome. Nasty little witches brew.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!
