Transphobic Feminism + Psychology = Conversion Therapies
<p><strong>The first time I went to a psychologist I was 15, </strong><a href="https://www.milenio.com/blogs/ser-es-resistir/2020-ano-acepte-mujer-trans-aprendi" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>I’d just come out as a cisgender gay man</strong></a><strong> </strong>and one of my parents thought it’d be a good idea to “get my bearings” by which they meant get myself back on the road to heterosexuality. Back then, fortunately, I already knew that <strong>a professional psychologist wouldn’t have me turn my back on my sexual orientation; rather, they’d support me on the journey of self-acceptance.</strong> And that’s what happened. What I didn’t see coming was, after telling them about my history of sexual abuse between the ages of 7 and 8, the psychologist asking me if I’d enjoyed what happened (no, I’m not kidding) and, if not, why I hadn’t spoken up and asked my parents to denounce my abuser. The cherry on the cake was when they said that due to my silence, my abuser had probably gone on to abuse others.</p>
