Thoughtful Therapists is an anti-trans consortium of therapists based in the United Kingdom
2021 survey
Their goal is to allow non-affirming models of care for gender diverse youth to be legalized. They frequently call this “gender exploratory therapy.”
In a 2021 survey, the organizers state: “We are concerned that the proposed Bill to Ban Conversion Therapy may criminalise or ban beneficial exploratory therapy in the context of gender dysphoria.”
