The Aversion Project (1970s–1980s): Conducted by the South African apartheid regime’s military doctors, this program targeted gay and transgender soldiers and conscripts, deemed “undesirable” for military service. Victims were subjected to chemical and electrical aversion therapy, hormone treatments, and forced sex changes to “cure” homosexuality. Many suffered permanent physical and psychological damage. The project was exposed post-apartheid by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It stands as a horrific example of pseudoscientific abuse under authoritarian regimes, where medical practices were weaponized for social control, violating every principle of medical ethics and human rights.
