A new study found that trans people reported experiencing this discredited and harmful treatment at a higher rate than gays and lesbians.

None of these studies were based on representative samples of LGBTQ people. So the review’s findings aren’t necessarily generalizable to gay and trans populations at large. The proportion of study populations reporting having experienced conversion therapy ranged widely, from 2% to 34%, with a median of 8.5%.
The median proportion reporting a conversion therapy history was higher in the U.S., at 13%, than in Canada, at 7%. Salway’s team wrote that Canadian attitudes toward sexual and gender minorities may be “more affirming” than those in the U.S. That said, Ilan Meyer, a researcher at UCLA’s Williams Institute and the lead author of one of the reviewed, said that his team analyzed 2016 to 2017 survey responses from gay Americans born between 1956 and 1997 and found no significant differences between birth cohorts within that period in the proportion reporting conversion therapy exposure. This suggested persistence in conversion therapy practices, Meyer said.
Conversion therapy “has hurt a lot of people,” said Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist and a past president of the trans health care group USPATH. “We don’t have any studies saying that it helped people long-term.”
