Aversion Therapy Is Back, And It’s Coming From the Trans Lobby
Prescribing bodily harm as any kind of ‘solution’ for someone’s failure to conform to sex roles or stereotypes is wrong.
Ok, I’m kind of cheating, but I wrote this article for The Federalist, and it’s such an important topic to me that I’m sharing it here in case it helps more people think critically about these issues.
Please read and share as you feel led.
Great take on this! I think the ritual of the surgeries is a cult-like ceremony of self-mutilation. I can just imagine the post op men talking about it (and by this I mean natal, biological men) like it was giving birth to a baby. My ex-husband is one of them, and since I know he's co-opted my natural labors when I gave birth to our 2 sons, I link his post surgery pain imagination to my actual female experience. BTW, Benjamin A Boyce youtube channel finally is featuring an interview of a trans widow, Tracy Shannon. The usual stone-faced Boyce reels in shock at the details, which are so similar to mine (an 8 year old saying he wants to kill himself, the children used as props while he claims he's "Mom" &etc, too early knowledge about sexuality) that it's just eery. Any trans widows looking to tell your details of our story can find me at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com
