लैंगिकता परिवर्तन उपचार
लैंगिकता परिवर्तन उपचार किंवा लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचार ही मानसिक किंवा शारीरिक किंवा आध्यात्मिक साधनांचा वापर करून एखाद्या व्यक्तीचे लैंगिक कल समलैंगिकता किंवा उभयलैंगिकता पासून विषमलैंगिक करण्यासाठी बदलण्याचा प्रयत्न करणारी छद्म (खोटा) वैज्ञानिक अभ्यास आहे. लैंगिक कल बदलले जाऊ शकते याबद्दल कोणतेही विश्वसनीय पुरावे नाहीत आणि वैद्यकीय संस्था चेतावणी देतात की ही परिवर्तन उपचार पद्धती कुचकामी आणि संभाव्य हानिकारक आहेत. [१] [२] [३] [४] [५] [६] [७] [८] अमेरिका आणि युनायटेड किंगडममधील वैद्यकीय, वैज्ञानिक आणि सरकारी संस्थांनी रूपांतरण थेरपीची वैधता, कार्यक्षमता आणि नैतिकतेबद्दल चिंता व्यक्त केली आहे. [९] [१०] २०२१ मध्ये मद्रास उच्च न्यायालयाने भारतात लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचारावर बंदी आणली आहे. [११] जगभरातील विविध न्यायालयांनी लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचाराविरूद्ध कायदे केले आहेत.
नॅशनल असोसिएशन फॉर रिसर्च अँड थेरेपी ऑफ होमोसेक्सुलिटी (एनएआरटीएच) ही लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचाराची वकिली करणारी प्रमुख संस्था होती. कट्टरपंथी ख्रिश्चन गट आणि काही इतर संस्थांनी थेरपीसाठी धार्मिक औचित्य वापरले आहे. [४]
वैद्यकीय, वैज्ञानिक आणि कायदेशीर दृष्टिकोन
कायदेशीर स्थिती
आरोग्य संस्थांची भूमिका
लैंगिक कल बदलण्याच्या प्रयत्नांची जगभरातील अनेक आरोग्य संघटनांनी निंदा व टीका केली आहे. [१२] [१३] [१४] अमेरिकेच्या राष्ट्रीय आरोग्य संघटनांनी जाहीर केले आहे की गेल्या चाळीस वर्षांत लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचाराच्या कार्यक्षमतेचे कोणतेही वैज्ञानिक प्रदर्शन झाले नाही. [१५] त्यांना असे आढळले आहे की लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचार कुचकामी, धोकादायक आणि हानिकारक असू शकते. बरे करण्याचे दावे प्रतिपक्ष हानी पोहचविण्याद्वारे संतुलित आहेत आणि उदाहरणार्थ अमेरिकन सायकायट्रिक असोसिएशन, हिपोक्रेटसची शपथ अंतर्गत नीतिनिक अभ्यासकांना इजा करण्याचा इशारा देते की कोणतीही हानी करू नये आणि लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचाराच्या प्रयत्नांपासून परावृत्त व्हा. [१६]
अनेक मुख्य वैद्यकीय संस्था नमूद करतात की लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचार हानिकारक असू शकते कारण ही पद्धत अपराधीपणाच्या भावनेचा आणि चिंतेचा गैरफायदा घेईल आणि यामुळे आत्म-सन्मान हानी पोहचू शकते आणि याचा परिणाम नैराश्य आणि आत्महत्या देखील होऊ शकतो. मानसिक आरोग्य समुदायामध्ये अशी भीती आहे की लैंगिक कल परिवर्तन उपचाराचे प्रसारण लैंगिकते बद्दल आणि समलैंगिक आणि उभयलैंगिक लोकांना सुखी, निरोगी आयुष्य जगण्याची क्षमते बद्दल चुकीचे मत पसरवून सामाजिक हानी पोहोचवू शकते.

In December of 1998, the Board of Trustees issued a position statement that the American Psychiatric Association opposes any psychiatric treatment, such as "reparative" or conversion therapy, which is based upon the assumption that homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or based upon the a priori assumption that a patient should change his/her sexual homosexual orientation. ... The validity, efficacy and ethics of clinical attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation have been challenged. To date, there are no scientifically rigorous outcome studies to determine either the actual efficacy or harm of "reparative" treatments. (references omitted)

There is no sound scientific evidence that innate sexual orientation can be changed. Furthermore, so-called treatments of homosexuality can create a setting in which prejudice and discrimination flourish, and they can be potentially harmful. The provision of any intervention purporting to 'treat' something that is not a disorder is wholly unethical. ... WPA considers same-sex attraction, orientation, and behaviour as normal variants of human sexuality. It recognises the multi-factorial causation of human sexuality, orientation, behaviour, and lifestyle. It acknowledges the lack of scientific efficacy of treatments that attempt to change sexual orientation and highlights the harm and adverse effects of such 'therapies'.

In fact 'reparative or conversion therapies' have not supported authentic change in sexual orientation itself. ... There is no conclusive evidence that 'reparative therapy' is beneficial to patients. ... Harmful sequelae of reparative therapy reported in the literature include anxiety, depression, avoidance of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, PTSD, loss of self-confidence and self-efficacy, shame/guilt, self-destructive behavior, and suicidality.

Experiences of LGBTI people include violence, refusal or reluctance to treat or if treating to acknowledge a health concern directly related to their sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. They also include homophobic and transphobic treatment paradigms, for example, pathologising LGBTI identity as a symptom of mental ill-health and using conversion therapies for same-sex attracted people (also known as reparative therapy). This practice claims to change sexual orientation and has been condemned the Australian Psychological Society and numerous other Australian and international professional associations as not only not working (as it is based on false premises) but also as unethical and harmful to the wellbeing of those who undergo it.

[G]eneral practitioners (GPs) [must] have a good understanding of the diversity of sex, sexuality and gender in Australia, and to approach every individual in a holistic and non-judgemental way, minimise discrimination and obstacles to care access, and optimise the quality of healthcare that they provide. The title of this contextual unit is intentionally broad to encompass individuals who may identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer (LGBTIQ), asexual, pansexual, those who do not identify with any particular gender or sexual orientation, and those who prefer not to be categorised. The purpose of this unit is to challenge the 'binary' approach to provision of healthcare by GPs, in which assumptions and judgements are made about an individual's sex, sexuality and/or gender based on appearances and/or what is considered by the individual GP to be 'normal.' This approach is essentially flawed and typically impacts the quality of care that can be provided. ... GPs have an important role to play in advocating to reduce discrimination and in creating meaningful therapeutic relationships with LGBTIQ individuals to improve healthcare access. The establishment of high-quality therapeutic relationships and delivery of quality care to these individuals draws on the core skills in The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' (RACGP's) 2016 curriculum.

A student's sexual orientation is not a 'lifestyle' choice and under no circumstances should a student be counselled to change or attempt to 'repair' their sexual orientation. These kinds of 'conversion' or 'reparative' therapies have been criticized and discouraged by the American Psychological Association and by many teacher associations across Canada. Clinical research has demonstrated that these approaches are largely ineffective, ignore the impact of social stigmatization on mental health, and in some cases, can be extremely dangerous, particularly for vulnerable youth. Instead of attempting to change a student's sexual orientation, educators, administrators, and health care professionals should focus on helping the youth and their family to develop active coping mechanisms to address issues related to internalized homophobia, stigma, prejudice and discrimination.

In October 2000, the General Assembly [of the Norwegian Psychiatric Association] voted overwhelmingly (about 90%) in favor of the following statement ... Homosexuality is no disorder or illness, and can therefore not be subject to treatment. A 'treatment' with the only aim of changing sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual must be regarded as ethical malpractice, and has no place in the health system.
