Born in the Right Body: Gender identity ideology from a medical and feminist perspective

Product Information

Perhaps hunting, on which male anthropologists place so much weight, gave men a sense of identity, responsibility, and power.”

Fantastic exploration of the tactics used by transactivists to suppress and silence those who question the logic of replacing sex-based rights with gender-based rights. The first chapter zeros-in on gender identity ideologues’ language games, and how they create a social reality in which human sexual dimorphism is secondary to gender-feels. The political erasure of sex starts a the level of language. By the power of naming, man purports to become ‘woman.’ Sanger is crystal clear about the medical consequences of that belief when applied to the human body in a surgical suite. Identifying with someone who isn't you is empathy. Identifying as someone who isn't you is identity theft.” Any time! What an incredible in-dept piece of work it is, and what a valuable resource for the future. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for creating this XX It certainly proves that the BBC is a completely biased corporation and as such should be stripped of their right to collect subsc... Read MorePeople who suffer oppression for their bodies, such as ethnic minorities, women, and the disabled, don't have the luxury to identify out of it. Yet, our institutions continue to promote the belief that the most oppressed group in history consists of healthy and often privileged people - such as white middle class men - who are self identifying into oppressed groups using the phrase 'born in the wrong body'. Thanks to not suffering the same limitations experienced by groups they wish to be part of, they exert immense influence on the regulators and these communities, where they position themselves as leaders and spokespeople. They are then redefining the aims and priorities of these groups and preventing genuine members from freely discussing issues that affect them.” Both the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act have been systematically misrepresented to justify prioritising gender self-identification over biological sex. LGBT+ lobby groups persuaded institutions that it was 'illegal' to ask for evidence of a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) or to question the validity of gender self-identification. It really is a wonderful piece of work. Once I’ve finished it, I’ll be getting copies for some people I know who need to read it. Patriarchies are societies within institutions - hierarchical bodies of government, religion, law, education, commerce, and culture - designed to transcend individual lives, to endure over ages, and to maintain and transmit power from man to man, a practice called "Passing the mantle". All institutions have customs or laws that give men prerogatives or advantages and that exclude or limit the participation of women and certain men. Patriarchies in different states disempower different groups of men, but they all disempower women.”

Isolated, confined, allowed only small amounts of certain foods and drink, taught that her body is powerful but contaminated, a girl learns that she has power - to pollute: in such cultures, menstrual blood is a source of horror and fear. Menstruation symbolises female power, considered destructive to men. If female power can destroy men, women are men's enemies, and the condition of the sexes is a state of war.” Sanger goes on to detail the policy capture of healthcare by trans lobby organisations, per the ‘Dentons Document’ strategy of ‘getting ahead of the law.’ Anyone of this generation who understand the Dentons strategy will be well-placed to act fast when the next ideological medical malpractice scandal begins to bud. Considering that evidence shows the long-term mental health outcomes worsen post medical gender reassignment (Dhejne, et al., 2011), it is not clear what the rationale is for these interventions, or why trans-identifying patients are encouraged to risk their own health in pursuit of a costly, yet unattainable, goal of sex change.” Around 2012 she became aware of a growing discourse around transgender issues, and became concerned about ethics and the evidence-base for gender self-identification and gender reassignment interventions. She decided to look into it further and has since written about various issues connected to that topic.

It certainly is. Speaking as a grassroots, anonymous women’s rights campaigner, it’s far more important that the history is recorded than that every individual contributor is noted. Massive contribution from you! XX He is married, with one daughter, three sons and six grandsons. He is the author of five other books: I have been stunned by the bbc s blatant bias over leaving E U, it is a leftist,london centric clique,They know nothing about how ... Read More There's a reason why men didn't see fit to allow women equal rights for so long, and why women were put through medical and sexual torture, force-fed, starved, lobotomised, incarcerated, why they were even burnt at the stake as witches, before basic human rights were granted to them. Something's gone wrong with men-kind. whether it's nature or nurture, time will tell, but their fury and violence towards non-submissive women is a chronic epidemic that comes in waves. This is your wave. We need you to fight in our corner, not theirs.”

Sporting bodies are supposed to safeguard female athletes and female sport. Instead, too many of them changed their rules to allow male athletes to self-identify into competing 'as women'. These males had the benefit of male puberty - which is irreversible. Men have 30-60 per cent more muscle strength. Their idea of what it means to live a life in a female body is informed by the male gaze, gender stereotypes and porn. This is why their fantasy recreation of a woman hardly ever involves being paid less, doing unpaid domestic labour or being ignored. Instead they are drawn to the stereotype of beautiful bimbos whose lives are easy and filled with acceptance, slumber parties, gossiping in female toilets, colouring each other's hair and prancing around in sexy lingerie and fluffy slippers.” Full Book Name: Born in the Right Body: Gender Identity Ideology From a Medical and Feminist Perspective

thank goodness one of the Worst Prime Ministers in living memory will be gone in 3 weeks good riddance May is even worse than Majo... Read More I also didn’t quite appreciate how physically strenuous writing a book can be; finding a good chair and desk was essential. the argument that rape - by violence or deception - is a good method to ensure the survival of the human species has never been convincing. Women, like men, are born with a biological imperative to procreate and they are instinctively equipped to choose males that have a chance of producing the fittest offspring, either due to superior / compatible genetics or a willingness to help raise the young. Taking this choice away from a woman undermines the basic process of mate selection and ultimately works against the survival of the species. Selfish males who sexually coerce women seldom make good fathers and providers. Their violence, neglect, and abandonment creates significant psychological and physical trauma, which is passed on to the next generation, creating a cycle of despair and destructiveness.” Why did you write it? In 2012 I first noticed men who identified as women starting to abuse feminists online. A woman could not say that women have unique biology and healthcare needs, and that female biology makes women vulnerable to abuse, without being called a “TERF”– which stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”–“bigot” and even “Nazi”.
