Activists trying to eliminate "conversion therapy" are now creating broader language to cover more practices than formal "therapy". Some talk about "conversion practices" and SOGIECE which stands for sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression change efforts.
SOGIECE covers any attempt to change or suppress a person's sexuality, gender identity and/or gender expression.pic.twitter.com/oKWhdZZZJX
What I did would count as a "gender identity change effort" and "conversion practices" is a better fit than "conversion therapy" but most people are unfamiliar with those terms. The language is still evolving in order to better name these harmful beliefs and practices.
That's one reason I came up with "ideologically motivated detransition". My experience was similar to "conversion therapy" and ex-gay ministries in some ways but different in others. My old community and it's specific theories and practices is a relatively new development.
Language describing "conversion therapy", SOGIECE and related practices will continue to develop as activists who oppose them work to understand them better and more survivors speak out. I'm doing what I can help more people resist SOGIECE, in whatever form they take.
