We Need to Talk About Gender Identity Ideology : Some Necessary Questions

Gender identity ideologues demonstrate their authoritarian mindset by : refusing to discuss points of logic; by bullying and harassing those who do not comply or agree with their point of view; and by making vexatious complaints about those who try to question their opinions.

The crux of cancel culture and the demand of ‘No debate!’ is evidence enough of a vicious, aggressive and entitled movement with no care for the rights and needs of others. The evidence is clear that this is far from being a ‘marginalised and vulnerable’ group.

To that end, critical thinkers and those who care about a rational and well balanced society would be well-placed to ask and discuss many relevant questions about this movement. Below we provide some initial questions which could get the ball rolling towards genuine dialogue.

Here’s our starter for ten:

1. What is the definition of the term ‘transgender’?

   
   

2. Current definitions of ‘transgender’ and gender identity are circular and vague. Why are public service leaders and politicians taking these terms seriously?

   
   

3. Why are we calling children ‘transgender’?

   
   

4. Do ‘trans’ children exist? Why not use the term  non-conforming to sexual stereotypes?

   
   

5. Why is harmful off-licence use of drugs being justified and tolerated as a means to treat children who call themselves ‘trans’?

6. Why is harmful off-licence use of drugs being proposed to treat children who have obvious psychological challenges based on issues arising from previous trauma and conditions such as autism ?

7. Why is social transitioning in schools still continuing and being supported by teachers even when there is good evidence demonstrating that this is not helpful ?

8. Why are both Westminster and Scottish Governments insisting on supporting the

undefinable term gender identity in preference to the term sex?

9. The diagnostic term gender dysphoria is based on regressive stereotypes aligning with male and female behavioural roles. Does this label really help anyone?

10. Why is there an obsession in our public services to push the unproven ideology of gender identity on all of us?
