The Truth About Gender Exploratory Therapy: Exposing the Anti-Trans Web (part 2 deep dive)
In the second installment of our deep dive into Therapy First and Gender Exploratory Therapy, hosts Juniper and Laurel, both licensed clinicians, expose the growing network of anti-trans organizations operating under the guise of “evidence-based” care.
We break down the interconnected web of groups like GenSpec, the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM), and Our Duty, uncovering their ties to conversion therapy, pseudoscience, and policy-driven misinformation. From their influence on anti-LGBTQ legislation to their claims about gender dysphoria treatment, we separate fact from fearmongering.
🔎 In this episode, we discuss:
• The “web farm” strategy used to legitimize anti-trans narratives
• How SEGM is influencing legislation and medical distrust
• The real motivations behind gender-critical organizations like Sex Matters
• Conversion therapy rebranded? How “Therapy First” approaches harm trans individuals
• How you can support trans advocacy efforts and counteract misinformation
We encourage critical thinking, respectful discussion, and supporting pro-trans organizations through advocacy, donations, or purchasing our merch!
