(52:36) WNBA Trans Away The Gay: Gender-Affirming Care IS Conversion Therapy | Scott Newgent
17/10/2026 | 1h 1 mins.Mia Hughes is joined by Scott Newgent, who experienced homophobia - from her relationship dynamic, to a trans identified therapist and finally a gynecologist who - without testing - told her she was likely intersex. This made Scott feel out of place and led to her undergoing sex altering procedures, which brought severe medical complications.
Scott is raising awareness and advocates to stop gender-affirming care, particularly for minors, which is cosmetic, not life-saving or evidence-based, and often leads to the health deterioration that Scott experienced.
Scott will be speaking in UK parliament on October 21st to stop the UK’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban, which is vague, could criminalize real help, and is a trojan horse to shut down opposition to gender ideology.

- How did transgender identification move out of psychiatry? REPATH Episode 3 traces the de-psychopathologization of gender dysphoria from WPATH's 2010 statement to the 2022 SOC8, and why the 2010s were the tipping point.
In this episode of the REPATH series, Mia Hughes and Stella O'Malley walk through the key milestones in the de-psychopathologization process: the WPATH 2010 statement, DSM-5's shift from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria" (2013), ICD-11's move from "dysphoria" to "incongruence" (2018), WPATH's declaration of medical necessity (2016), and the release of the WPATH Standards of Care 8 (2022).
REPATH is a Genspect campaign calling for the restoration of psychiatric and psychological safeguards in the care of gender-related distress.
