Forced gay pirn

Compelling firsthand accounts of individuals in China subjected to coercive "gay conversion therapy" have surfaced in a recent report.

Despite prior knowledge of the country's contentious practice, the Human Rights Watch investigation offers detailed personal testimonies rarely seen from China.

The World Psychiatric Association has unequivocally condemned "gay conversion therapy" as unethical, unscientific, and harmful; its illegality in China is de facto, if not explicitly declared.

Nonetheless, the report documents 17 instances of forced "gay conversion therapy" between 2009 and 2017. These case studies illuminate the pervasive nature of verbal and psychological mistreatment, including the mandatory administration of medication and electroshock therapy within Chinese healthcare facilities.

According to the director of Human Rights Watch's LGBT rights program, Boris Dittrich, this practice is a lucrative enterprise. Physicians and clinics profit handsomely, charging exorbitant fees (as high as 30,000 yuan, equivalent to $4,530 or £3,440) for such "treatments" of gay individuals.

The organization demands that the Chinese government resolutely halt these harmful practices.

Beyond the overtly abusive rhetoric, the report reveals a deeper level of insidious harm.

A troubling finding is that 11 interviewees reported being compelled to consume medication without any disclosure regarding its purpose or potential side effects.

A gay man, aged 29, who experienced such "treatment" at a public hospital in Fujian three years prior, recounted that medical personnel provided no information regarding the administered medication, merely stating it was beneficial for his "progress."

"They simply said the medication was intended to aid in the success of the 'treatment'," he explained.

A transgender woman, Zhang Zhikun, disclosed that she was compelled to watch explicit gay pornography while receiving injections of an unidentified substance.

Furthermore, five interviewees described experiencing electric shocks during graphic depictions or descriptions of homosexual acts.

Gong Lei recounted his personal trauma:

"The doctor encouraged me to relax, claiming it was a form of hypnosis, and prompted me to imagine sexual encounters with my partner. At that moment, pain surged through my wrists. I was completely unaware of what was transpiring."

Another interviewee underwent nine electroshock sessions during his two-month "treatment."

"My arms and wrists felt numb, and my head ached. However, the most agonizing experience was the excruciating pain in my stomach."

Medical professionals assert the lack of scientific validation for these purported treatments. The World Psychiatric Association, in 2016, stated the negative impact such practices can have, fostering prejudice and potentially causing harm.

All interviewees reported being coerced into these "conversion" therapies, often initiated soon after disclosing their sexual orientation to their families, who often reacted with shame or disapproval.

Xu Zhen, 21, underwent this "gay conversion therapy" at a private clinic three years past.

She stated that she endured pressure from her parents to undergo the treatment after they learned of her homosexuality.

"My mother erupted in outrage, lamenting the misfortune that had befallen our family. My father declared his inability to cope with the situation."

Xu Zhen explained that her parents were apprehensive about the implications for their family if others became aware of her lesbianism. This fear created a situation wherein she reluctantly agreed to participate in "gay conversion therapy".

Zhang Zhikun sought such therapies at a state-run Shenzhen hospital in 2012, compelled by her parents.

"I had little influence over my parents' convictions. I recognized that resistance would be futile."

Many who experienced these forced therapies also endured derogatory remarks from their therapists.

Zhang Zhikun recounted her doctor stating, "If you don't change your sexuality, you will get sick and die from AIDS."

These practitioners frequently employed emotional manipulation.

"Have you ever considered the happiness of your parents?" was a common query.

A gay man in Hebei province was told, "If you feel like engaging in homosexual acts, then you're sick."

There's a growing awareness of LGBT issues in China. In 1997, homosexuality was decriminalized, and in 2001, it was removed from the official list of mental disorders. Lively gay scenes now thrive in major Chinese cities, exemplified by Shanghai's pride parade held in June.

Advocacy groups, however, point out that countless gay individuals in China have married heterosexual partners instead of coming out for fear of familial pressures. Last year, a landmark court decision in China refused to allow a gay couple to register as married, a first-of-its-kind legal decision.

Boris Dittrich of Human Rights Watch emphasized that many victims did not report their experiences due to fear of disclosure and familial pressure.

"The threat of public exposure and familial pressures significantly hinder the filing of formal complaints."

A 2013 mental health law effectively outlawed conversion therapy in China; however, campaigners acknowledge ongoing efforts in the LGBT rights space. A notable step forward included the granting of an apology and compensation to a gay man in central China for forced "conversion therapy" at a mental institution in July.

These recommended treatments for homosexuality are outlined in "Consulting Psychology," published by Guangdong Higher Education Press, a significant resource for mental health education:

1. Platonic love: Forge a connection with a caring member of the opposite sex, initially as friends, with the hope of a developing relationship.

2. Aversion therapy: Induce discomfort (nausea or fear) when same-sex attraction thoughts arise.

3. Lifestyle disruption: Disrupt established relationships and routines through relocation.

4. Redirection: Use visual and audio aids to channel sexual arousal toward the opposite sex.
