Why Is Transphobia So Rampant In Britain? - with Shon Faye and Freddy McConnell

Ойын-сауық

Life has been made hard for trans people in Britain. Transphobic hate crimes have quadrupled, levels of mental distress are much higher than the rest of the population, and polling shows that many trans people fear using public toilets, face discrimination at work and in education, are far more likely to be homeless, and are stuck on NHS waiting lists.
Yet there is a full blown moral panic under way, comparable to the media campaigns against gay people in the 1980s and 1990s, when they were portrayed as would-be sexual predators, brainwashers of children, and deniers of human biology.
But transphobia isn't just a problem on the right in Britain - it has infected 'liberal' and 'progressive' circles too. Why? To find out the answers, join me and two brilliant trans journalists - Shon Faye and Freddy McConnell. If you're confused about trans rights and want answers, this is for you.

    I think we are living through an extraordinary time where barriers are both blurring and hardening. I don't see a moral panic, but I don't pay attention to the Daily Mail etc. where I imagine most hostility to trans people is coming from. I see a culture that has been radically transformed from a few years ago when The Mighty Boosh and Little Britain were laughing cruelly at trans people. Now we are in the era of RuPaul's drag race and primetime entertainment shows only too happy to represent trans people. However, it's hard to separate what is tolerance and what is the media's need to follow the zeitgeist and get people watching. Trans people have come to fascinate everybody despite being only a tiny proportion of the population, so why have they raced to the top of the agenda in five years? Identity is something we are struggling with like never before. Settled identities related to work and nationality are eroding in the globalised world. Everyone is challenged and fearful because what they thought they were is disappearing. Anyone who embraces ambiguity and sees freedom in the loosening of pro-ordained identity seems to be taking on the age and winning. We all yearn for that kind of self-realisation. However, as we increasingly acknowledge the non-binary nature of gender, we are hardening other binaries. The need to immediately 'other' people with a different view as transphobic I find very worrying. If we are to bring about a kinder and more understanding world, we have to accept that just as trans people often make a journey to understanding themselves, society is also making a journey. Shon Faye mentions someone who had transitioned from radical feminism and into a more trans-friendly view and we should seek to facilitate journeys like that. As the majority of people grew up in world where trans identities were barely acknowledged, there is bound to be fear - fear of the unknown. But if fear is interpreted every time as hate, then it becomes something thing not to be engaged with, and you lose any chance to make progress.

    1. Yes it would be totally crazy to restrict if there were evidence that the person at the centre of the issue were able to reliably give informed consent. They're not, because they're children. 2. Using the "regret rate" is a red herring. People are terrible at admitting mistakes and excellent at rationalizing decisions that could easily have been made differently at the time. This is especially true for decisions as life-changing as whether to undergo irreversible medical intervention or not. 3. We are pretending we know a lot about this, when in fact we know almost nothing. We're experimenting on children in the name of an ideology that is riddled with inconsistencies. For example, when did it become "progressive" to define a gender by a set of actions or preferences (i.e. you behave a certain way and that makes you female/male)? And how does a biological male in their 30s somehow "just know/feel" they are female when a biological female in her 30s (and who identifies as such) has a gender that has been "socially constructed". The factual claims made by trans ideologues do not bear logical scrutiny, which is why it's immoral to then prescribe life-changing medical interventions to children on the basis of those claims.

    As someone against a lot of the trans movement, the problem with it is that someone who doesn't conform to the gender stereotype is being told they're in the wrong body and encouraged to make life changing decisions as a child. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being outside a gender stereoype but it does not mean that you are in the wrong body. And the fact that is a crime to say this is or for a mental health professional to explore why someone might feel they're in the wrong body (rather than assume they are) is Orwellian and abhorrent and i believe in 10 years there will be a huge public enquiry to why children were able to determine their own gender and cure to their mental health problems. There is no other type of symptom where the patient is able to conclude their own diagnosis and treatment like gender dysmorphia and i thinj every medical professional who is appeasing this radical left dogma should be ashamed of themselves.

    @@benwakefield93 I understand and empathise with your perspective. As you are clearly not a trans person, it's hard to grasp the required perspective here. We (trans people) live in a society that is very much the majority CIS gendered. Gender fluidity is not inherently a supported or endorsed element of society. Perhaps it would be a nice ideal, but the reality is a very long way from this (speaking from personal experience). To a very large extent, the expectation is that an individual will confirm, or at least correlate to, one of the two primary gender types. So this is largely a cultural expectation put upon the trans community - being something else is to be excluded from the main stream. Eddy Izzard being an exception... Or perhaps an example. So to deny this reality is a falsehood. Trans teens want a future that is not excluded from the main stream, and to achieve that end, gender blockers are a very effective stepping stone.

    It's difficult to define as there isn't really the language to describe it, and for someone who has never experienced it it's hard to imagine. It's not a delusion; people are well aware of what body they have and what people associate with that. It does typically come with distress over one's body being somehow wrong and that distress being alleviated when the body changes to fit one's perception (which critically doesn't happen for things it's often compared to like anorexia or whatever - they just get worse). Other things like feeling like you aren't really being seen when people see you as your sex assigned at birth, like they're talking about someone else, feeling detached from your life and the world and that more or less going away once you live and are perceived the way you feel inside, which also often comes with a sense of great joy. For some people it's more about the joy than the distress. It's different for everyone, but hopefully that gives you some idea.

The doctor will then decide whether you fully understand the consequences of your decision to have an abortion. Doctors have a duty of confidentiality to their patients. So they will not inform your parents about the abortion unless you agree. - Sounds like puberty blockers have been brought in line with this. Do you think there could be any long term medical effects from stopping puberty in otherwise healthy children.

    Gay people never claimed they could change sex. TRAs claim you can. You can chemically alter your outward stereotypical gender appearance. If you could change sex then at some point the transition would be completed but it never is. Saying this is not hate speech or bigotry, it is not factual to deny the binary reality of biology and yes there are anomalies but they are differences of sexual development not a different sex.

    You can change sex. Modern scientific advances mean various sexual characteristics can be and are changed. That's trivially true. The only ones that can't be have barely any relevance to anyone's everyday life. You just pretend it's impossible because it makes the ideology you're clinging to untenable.

If you want to argue that it is your business whether some stranger is to be prohibited from the possibility of treatment that may affect their body in some way you find distasteful, I'm sorry, you are a weird obsessive busybody.

    It is important for the trans community that Elliott Page exists. Why when there can be more divergence within a community than between different communities. I just don’t agree with the logic and the problem with the logic is that it demands 100% agreement otherwise you are classed as transphobic. We have to agree that transphobia is ‘rampant’ not mild, not moderate ‘rampant’. We have to agree to pronouns whether someone wants to change their physical appearance or not. It is so authoritarian.
