Ex-gays and conversion therapy

Drescher is an early professional critic of the ex-gay movement and conversion therapy, calling it "questionable in its efficacy" and citing potential harms of therapy to suppress or change sexual orientation.^[2] In addition to writing about the ethical concerns,^[3] Drescher has likened attempts to suggest there is a professional debate about this to creationism: "You create the impression to the public as if there was a debate in the profession, which there is not."^[4] Drescher was one those who spoke out after Robert Spitzer in 2003 published his findings that some gay people can alter their orientation.^[5] Spitzer would later repudiate his own study's conclusions in 2012.^[6]

Gender identity

Drescher was a member of the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 Workgroup on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders. His subworkgroup was responsible for revising the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder to the DSM-5 diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria. He is also a member of the World Health Organization Working Group on the Classification of Sexual Disorders and Sexual Health which will address sex and gender diagnoses in WHO's forthcoming revisions of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). That working group's recommendation is to rename the diagnoses "Gender Incongruence" and to move the GI diagnoses out of the mental disorders section of ICD into a new chapter tentatively called "Conditions Related to Sexual Health"^[7]
