Transgender Rights Aren't 'Far-Left.' They're Human Rights. (67)

from Gender Matters: Insights from a Physician · host Dr Shannon

Transgender rights are often mislabeled as a "far-left" issue, but that framing erases the humanity at the center of the conversation. In this episode, I call out the confusion between political strategies and basic human rights, and why it's crucial to remember we're talking about people, not politics.I also share a list of memoirs and stories to deepen your understanding, including:Sissy by Jacob TobiaPageboy by Elliot PageRedefining Realness by Janet MockTomorrow Will Be Different by Sarah McBrideAll Boys Aren't Blue by George M. JohnsonBecoming Nicole by Amy Ellis NuttLove Wins Out by Dr. Rizi N.B. TimaneLetters for My Brothers by Megan Rohrer and Zander KeigCorrection: In the episode, I mistakenly said Love Wins Out was written by Dr. Rizi N.B. Nutt. The correct author is Dr. Rizi N.B. Timane.Enjoyed this episode? Share it on social media or send the link to a colleague or a friend who’s curious about learning more about gender.
