Ken Zucker to appear at UK gender conference |
|
Kenneth J. Zucker, the most prominent proponent of forcing transgender children into reparative therapy, has been invited to an September conference on gender identity in adolescents at the Royal Society of Medicine. Based at the notorious Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (aka the Clarke Institute) in Toronto, Zucker will be one of two invitees not from the UK.
In North America, trans people continue to protest Zucker’s involvement in the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which claims trans adults and children are mentally ill and describes the diagnoses. Above, a photo from the 2008 Trans March in San Francisco.
