Trans History (and why it matters to you) – training for NHS staff

Davison’s preferred term to discuss all things trans was the nebulous-sounding ‘transness’.  Really this was so he could go ‘ooh, that’s a bit trans’ about everything.  Material reality wasn’t really a thing, Davison told us, quietly introducing the concept of ‘cisness’ to the assembled horde of NHS workers, using the cryptic example of ‘some people having a much more complicated relationship with their bodies’.

Glen or Glenda? and the History of Trans Healthcare

I would have said it had Virginia Prince’s fingerprints all over of it, except the film predates Prince’s Transvestia magazine by several years. Nevertheless, Wood clearly spent time speaking to such men (probably Prince) and the psychiatrists who treated the same, as the description and depiction of transvestism is all too familiar to those who know it. A reminder also that gender identity ideology was already fully formed before most of us were even born.

Review of documentary: Life of Kai

The documentary is piss poor in every sense, lack of direction, lack of interest in its subject. Absolutely no nuance. Cloying animated interlinking segments. It’s like the whole thing was put together by people wearing boxing gloves. Not to mention the unforgivable pun in the film’s title. But for all that it is still incredibly revealing. There’s no hiding the grooming, nor My Genderation’s intimate involvement in pushing Kai, and others like her, along the path of an irreversible transition.
