Hi. As an academic women’s studies feminist some 30+ years ago my major research focus was how children acquire and interpret societal gendered messages. So to say it drives me mad this mixing up of sex (binary biological determinism) with gender (chose where you want to be along the stereotypical female-male scale) drives me absolutely bonkers. And to see so many feminists colluding with this trans nonsense takes my breath away. What have we been arguing for these last 50+ years if not that your biological sex need not be a constraint on how you want to live your life. That women can drive trucks, be sexually attracted to males or females or both etc etc. and that doesn’t mean you were ‘born in the wrong body’. And that boys can like barbie’s and sparkly colours, that men can be relationship rather than power-driven and that they don’t have to ‘change sex’ to have their preferences accepted.

After leaving academia I was a child therapist for many years. I obviously wouldn’t last a minute now as I would clearly refuse to go down the ‘gender-affirming (I.e ‘born in the wrong body’) rabbit hole.

A very poignant and intelligent question. Suspect it is part of creating the 'transhumanism' agenda. The past 50 yrs of empowering women to own who they are is being dismantled.
