The Feminine Boy Project Still Threatens Gender-Nonconforming People

By Cynthya BrianKate

For two decades the federal government funded a brainwashing project to keep children from "acting queer." This collaboration between ant-LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, transgender, Intersex) psychologists and "religious right" leaders, known as the Feminine Boy Project laid groundwork for current psychiatric abuses against transgender and gender-nonconforming people.

This was funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) from 1972-1986. The original stated grant goals were "treatment of prehomosexuality," the idea that if children were kept from stepping outside gender stereotypes they wouldn't turn out gay. When homosexuality was removed from the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in the mid-1970s, this became "treatment of pretranssexuality," conflating gender identity with sexuality, based in biased assumptions that anything other than stereotypical gender and heterosexuality were wrong.
