That "Sissy Boy Experiment"? That wasn't just aimed at preventing homosexuality, the original study by George A. Rekers and O. Ivar Lovaas entitled "Behavioral treatment of deviant sex-role behaviors in a male child" cited specifically preventing transsexualism as an outcome.
The Sissy Boy Experiment, or to give it its proper academic title; "Behavioral treatment of deviant sex-role behaviors in a male child" specifically cited prevention of transsexualism as a desired outcome. From the very birth of conversion therapy, it was anti-trans in nature.
George Rekers in the gushing review about gender identity above is the guy who, together with Ivar Lovaas pioneered behavioural adjustment for homosexuality and gender identity in the 1960s and 1970s, using their novel "Applied Behavioural Analysis" techniques.

@terrified_mom @benryanwriter @politico 1974, G. Rekers & Ole Lovaas "Behavioral Treatment of Deviant Sex-Role Behaviors in a Male Child." "growing evidence that childhood cross-gender manifestations are indicative of later adult sexual abnormalities; e.g., transvestism, transsexualism, or some forms of homosexuality."
