The new language is the foundation stone on which the edifice of transgender ‘truth’ and the narrative of transphobia is built. The ordinary person, without necessarily realising it, is now awash with the language of transgender ideology: society ‘assigns’ children’s sex at birth girls and boys can be ‘born in the wrong body’ those of us who don’t identify as transgender are ‘cis’ some people are born ‘non-binary’ (neither male or female) progressive people unequivocally ‘affirm’ transgender individuals, not because, quite rightly, adults have the right to define themselves as they wish, but on the grounds that a man who identifies as a woman is a woman, was born female, and that anyone who does not unequivocally believe this is transphobic and bigoted.Īs the transgender lobby knows perfectly well, its nomenclature has performed a lot of philosophical and ideological work in shaping societal values and sensibilities, particularly since the Equality Act 2010. So, not only have we experienced constant attempts to silence our views on the transgendering of children, in the past few weeks we have undergone the nerve-racking fear that our second book might not even be published. The publication of our second book, Inventing Transgender Children and Young People, was temporarily interrupted following a threat of litigation by the NHS Tavistock and Portman Hospital Trust UK, home to the Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS).
Since the publication of the book Transgender Children and Young People: Born In Your Own Body there have been ferocious attempts to silence myself and my co-editor Michele Moore, including sustained attacks on our careers, livelihoods and reputations the likes of which we have never previously experienced in our long academic careers. ATTENTION: Our conference on Sex and Relationship Education takes place on October 27th 2019 (London) where 4 of the contributors to The Book (see article below) will speak and answer questionsYou will have an opportunity to buy the book cost price and celebrate with us at the Book Launch
