Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE)—which include conversion “therapy” (CT)—are subtle or blatant practices, pressures, or messages that aim to change, deny, or suppress a person’s nonheteronormative sexual orientation, non-cisnormative gender identity and/or gender expression.
This report invites the reader into a dialogue with people who are survivors of harm and asks that we hold their stories with care and respect. Experiences with conversion practices are diverse and our participants represent a small subset of those who have experienced SOGIECE/CT-related harm. In writing this report, we affirm that there are no right or wrong stories, and every experience is real and needs to be validated.
