L’idéologie transgenre s’impose dans le débat public, mais à quel prix ? Entre droit, perception et pragmatisme, un retour au bon sens semble nécessaire.
This is the fourth and final of four extracts from my book, Transsexual Apostate published by the Daily Mail
The fashion for declaring your preferred pronoun is now so ubiquitous that it is difficult to be a conscientious objector.
On the surface, bowing to someone’s wish to be called ‘he’ or ‘she’ or ‘they’ is surely no more than a kind and thoughtful gesture that respects other people’s situations. And perfectly harmless. Except that it isn’t harmless. It transfers power. No longer do any of us have the freedom to perceive which sex-based pronouns best describe the human being standing in front of us: we are now expected to read the label and follow the instructions. Or else.
This is the third of four extracts from my book, Transsexual Apostate published by the Daily Mail
You may think that changing your sexual identity should be an issue of concern solely to people like me. Though middle-aged and married with three children, after decades as a secret transvestite I came out and transitioned from a man to a woman, first socially by cross-dressing and changing my name from David to Debbie, then physically by subjecting myself to the extreme surgery of having my genitalia sliced and diced and reconfigured.
This madness needs to stop
Not everyone wants to trumpet their gender dysphoria
As part of new guidance on transgender issues, lecturers at Edinburgh University have been told to avoid using ‘microinsults’ like: ‘I wanted to be a boy when I was a child’. It’s probably a good thing that I do not teach there, since I certainly wanted to be a girl.
The social engineering around new terms to describe ourselves are baffling & unnecessary. Why are charities, multinationals & broadcasters like the BBC so keen to push this agenda and brainwash our children?
