“Conversion therapy” aimed at changing one’s sexual orientation or gender identity is not therapeutic. You don’t convert to heterosexuality like you convert to Buddhism. The podcast Make a man of yourself, by director Jocelyn Lebeau, succeeds in the feat of telling all the facets of this twisted approach to denying oneself: from the “victim of a psychiatrist” to the happy story of acceptance, including the testimonies of a gay man who insists on marrying a woman and that of an ardent defender of these therapies. A difficult, but necessary podcast, available on Radio-Canada OHdio.
