Скачать или смотреть Gender Conversion Therapy with André Van Mol

We often hear of ‘conversion therapy’ in the context of refusing to understand the reality of the client and enforcing our view on what they should or shouldn’t be. This is the premise of the affirmative approach, it is the client that knows better.

However, the NHS in its review of its gender identity services has changed from its affirmative approach, stating that ‘social transition’ – which includes changing a patient’s name, pronouns or the way that they dress – should no longer be regarded as a ‘neutral act’. This includes clinical decisions, like prescribing puberty blockers, that may have life-long consequences.

To address this recent social phenomenon in understanding sex and gender, we are grateful to be joined by Dr André Van Mol.
