@steven@zeroes.ca I’m curious about the claim that ABA and conversion therapy were created by the same person. ABA has definitely been used in conversion therapy but it seems like the people who applied it in that way weren’t the people who invented it. Unless I’m missing something

@LadyStrawberries@0w0.is Ivar Lovaas is the creator of ABA, and a very important early figure in conversion therapy. I can't link from here, but you can Google his name and the "UCLA Feminine Boy Project", where he applied his ABA strategy to gay boys and trans girls.
