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

Product Information

Full Book Name: Born in the Right Body: Gender Identity Ideology From a Medical and Feminist Perspective 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. What do you like to read? I read quite widely. I love literary novels but also genre fiction, especially mystery, supernatural and science fiction. Some of my all-time favourite novels are The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, Dictionary of Khazars by Milorad Pavic, The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas, Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Crime and Punishment by Fjodor Dostoyevsky , Dracula by Bram Stoker, Dune by Frank Herbert and The Three-Body Problem trilogy by Liu Cixin. Transactivists use the acronym 'TERF' [trans-exclusionary radical feminist]. This is a misogynistic dogwhistle designed to punish women who refuse to accept the redefinition of the word 'woman' to include men. It is used to vilify women like J. K. Rowling who fight for sex-based rights and child safeguarding. With a name that conjures ghosts of the first-wave past, retired medical doctor and women’s rights activist Isidora Sanger informs us that this essay collection is “a record of an ignoble moment in history that should not be swept under the carpet and forgotten.”

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. What is your top tip for an aspiring writer? Find a story you can see yourself working on for at least 2 years, if not longer, because writing a book takes time. Every story can be told in countless ways. As writers we have to make choices every time we sit down to write, and it can be daunting to be aware of the choices we didn’t make, to doubt ourselves and even, to start again. The story has to really grab you, it has to remain exciting and motivate you over a long period of time. So, write what you want to read, and what you can see yourself thinking about day after day for the foreseeable future.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. I look forward to featuring this new work on the blog one day! Meanwhile, where can readers find you and your recent book? Yet sporting bodies allowed these men to compete with elite women if they reduced their testosterone levels. Testosterone suppressants only reduce muscle strength by at most 9 per cent. So this treatment cannot remove male sporting advantage. We should support the organisation 'Fair Play for Women', which campaigns to keep men out of women's sports. I also didn’t quite appreciate how physically strenuous writing a book can be; finding a good chair and desk was essential. Writing non-fiction allows me to contribute to the conversation about issues that are important to me. However, my happy place is fiction-writing. Creating new worlds and characters, and seeing others enjoy and derive personal meaning from it, is a great privilege.

Having been a feminist for a long time, the insults and threats these men (who called themselves “transwomen”) hurled at women reminded me of Men’s Rights Activists and “incels”, who had been abusing feminists online for years beforehand. However, instead of being universally condemned in feminist circles, they were often being celebrated as “the most oppressed minority in history,” and allowed to take over women’s groups and conversations. Gender-reassigned males retain male-pattern criminality. As a result 'trans women' are far more likely to be perpetrators than victims of homicide. Welcome to the blog Isidora. I have just finished reading your book, and found your essays so well researched and well argued that I am happy to recommend them to others who want to look more deeply into this issue. Treatment cannot change your sex. It can change your appearance, but, as she patiently explains, "Doctors have never made a man's penis and testicles change into a vagina, uterus and ovaries, nor vice versa, and our sex chromosomes likewise cannot be changed. The latter is the most important because, apart from directing the development of the foetus in utero, gene expression differs between males and females and sex differences consequently reside in every cell of our body."

Privately, all doctors know, via their training, that sex is binary, immutable and critical as the cornerstone of human physiology, with profound and immutable differences between the sexes which cannot be altered, amended or modified in any meaningful way. The state of being male or female, a man or a woman, is a matter of biological fact and reality, not self-proclaimed, narcissistic 'identity'. The small minority of people with chromosomal abnormalities leading to variations of sexual development who are routinely leveraged and weaponised by the trans lobby to justify men self-identifying as woman are all, indisputably either male or female. Hermaphrodites and 'gender-neutral' humans do not exist. The closest to this state are probably those who have undergone 'transition' - sterilised and stripped of sexual function by the trans movement and its Frankenstein treatments.
