TRANS: When Ideology Meets Reality

Liberal Voice for Women

What does a teenage girl with gender dysphoria have in common with a middle aged man with a sexual fetish for dressing as a woman?

According to Stonewall, a teen suffering with gender dysphoria and a man with a sexual fetish for dressing as a woman both fall under the &#x27;Trans&#x27; umbrella. Like many of us,<a href="https://thehelenjoyce.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Helen Joyce</a> wondered where the ideas behind gender-identity ideology came from, how the distinction between &#x27;sex&#x27; and &#x27;gender&#x27; evolved, and who decided that it is your gender identity not your sex that determines whether you are male or female. How much does it even matter? It was only after meeting some detransitioners that Helen began to think about the serious implications of this ideology.Join us for an evening of critical discussion of an idea that has swept through the liberal world undiscussed, taking many of our institutions with it.
