改变性取向的尝试
改变性取向的尝试(Sexual orientation change efforts,SOCE)是指试图将同性恋和双性恋者的性取向改为异性恋的努力[1],其方法可能包括行为技巧、认知行为技巧、精神分析技术、医学方法、宗教和精神方法[2]。在世界的部分地区,更有通过性暴力行为(矫正强奸)试图改变性取向的尝试。没有足够的科学研究证明这些方法可以改变性取向[2]。行为和社会科学以及健康和心理健康行业的长期公司共识是同性恋和双性恋行为本身就是正常行为[1][3]。始终未有研究能证明同性恋是疾病或异常行为[4][5]。
法律地位
在马耳他、法国、德国、阿尔巴尼亚、墨西哥和加拿大等国家,进行性向改变治疗属犯罪[6]。如巴西、厄瓜多尔和台湾等的国家不允许医学从业者进行性向改变治疗[7]。
人权状况
2020年,国际酷刑受害者康复委员会的一份官方文档指出性向改变是酷刑的一种[8]。同年,联合国的性取向和性别认同专家维克多·马季高-博柳兹指出,性向改变治疗“带有歧视性,是残暴、不人道、侮辱性的待遇;基于受害者经历的心理与生理痛苦的严重性,它可以被视作是一种酷刑”。他建议在全球禁止性向改变[9]。2021年,伊利亚斯·奇波提斯(Ilias Trispiotis)和克雷格·珀仕豪斯(Craig Purshouse)认为性向改变违反了欧洲人权公约中禁止侮辱性待遇的第三条,导致了禁止性向改变的国家义务[7][10]。
