Open Letter to the American Psychiatric Association

Link
5/30/2008

"The person selected as chair of this group, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, is an advocate and practitioner of reparative therapies for transgender children. The American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association have both strongly opposed such treatments in the past, and have demonstrated reparative therapies to be extremely harmful to individuals.  Dr. Zucker claims that this therapy does not harm children, because he believes that their identities and sexual orientations are more malleable and can be swayed by socialized conditioning when enforced both by the therapist and the childrens' parents."
