Meeleparandustegevused

Meeleparandustegevused, also known as reparative activities, are a set of practices aimed at addressing the perceived harm caused by LGBTQ+ individuals to cisgender people. These activities are based on the belief that LGBTQ+ people are inherently harmful to cisgender individuals, and that reparative efforts can "cure" or "correct" this supposed harm. The term "reparative" refers to the idea that these activities can repair or restore the supposed damage caused by LGBTQ+ individuals.

The most common reparative activities include:

1. Conversion therapy, which aims to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity.

2. Ex-gay therapy, a form of conversion therapy that focuses on helping individuals become heterosexual.

3. Gender-affirming surgery reversal, which involves reversing gender-affirming surgeries performed on transgender individuals.

4. "Detransitioning," which refers to the process of transgender individuals reversing their gender transition.

These activities are widely discredited by the medical and psychological communities. They are based on pseudoscientific beliefs and have been shown to cause significant harm to LGBTQ+ individuals, including increased rates of depression, suicide, and substance abuse. Additionally, reparative activities are often used to justify discrimination and violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. It is important to note that reparative activities are not supported by any reputable medical or psychological organization.
