False narratives were allowed to prevail, woolly and nebulous claims like 'sex is a spectrum', the nonsense that some humans, unlike all other mammals, can be 'non-binary', presented as a matter of fact. The Emperor has been naked for a long time, but the social taboos and very real dangers to career and livelihood of pointing this out meant that most people felt safer keeping their scepticism and concerns to themselves, out of a sense of self-preservation. Considering that evidence shows the long-term mental health outcomes worsen post medical gender reassignment (Dhejne, et al., 2011), it is not clear what the rationale is for these interventions, or why trans-identifying patients are encouraged to risk their own health in pursuit of a costly, yet unattainable, goal of sex change.” Sanger goes on to detail the policy capture of healthcare by trans lobby organisations, per the ‘Dentons Document’ strategy of ‘getting ahead of the law.’ Anyone of this generation who understand the Dentons strategy will be well-placed to act fast when the next ideological medical malpractice scandal begins to bud. Brave and lucid account of the evils of gender ideology, its wrongheadedness, its insidious capture of our institutions, and particularly the wholly negative and confounding influence it has on the practice of medicine. Writing non-fiction allows me to contribute to the conversation about issues that are important to me. However, my happy place is fiction-writing. Creating new worlds and characters, and seeing others enjoy and derive personal meaning from it, is a great privilege.

Full Book Name: Born in the Right Body: Gender Identity Ideology From a Medical and Feminist Perspective This kind of insight is key to awakening medics from the denial they are encouraged to live with. It is not only unethical to sterilise children labelled “trans,” but adults, too. John Money’s ghoulish medical experiments in grafting gender role stereotypes onto human flesh have no curative value whatsoever. This has resulted in the de facto disappearance of women's single-sex spaces and provisions. When the desires of trans-identifying males dominate discourse on both trans rights and women's rights, women's needs become subjugated to men's wants. "That's what gender self-identification means - any man can say he is a woman and automatically gain entry into women-only space."What is your top tip for an aspiring writer? Find a story you can see yourself working on for at least 2 years, if not longer, because writing a book takes time. Every story can be told in countless ways. As writers we have to make choices every time we sit down to write, and it can be daunting to be aware of the choices we didn’t make, to doubt ourselves and even, to start again. The story has to really grab you, it has to remain exciting and motivate you over a long period of time. So, write what you want to read, and what you can see yourself thinking about day after day for the foreseeable future.

It has become mandatory to affirm the self-declared 'female gender identity' of male criminals, even though over half of transgender prisoners in England and Wales are sex offenders, compared to less than a fifth in the ordinary male prison population, and the nature of their offences suggests that the vast majority are men. Yet sporting bodies allowed these men to compete with elite women if they reduced their testosterone levels. Testosterone suppressants only reduce muscle strength by at most 9 per cent. So this treatment cannot remove male sporting advantage. We should support the organisation 'Fair Play for Women', which campaigns to keep men out of women's sports. Both the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act have been systematically misrepresented to justify prioritising gender self-identification over biological sex. LGBT+ lobby groups persuaded institutions that it was 'illegal' to ask for evidence of a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) or to question the validity of gender self-identification. Fantastic exploration of the tactics used by transactivists to suppress and silence those who question the logic of replacing sex-based rights with gender-based rights.That quibble aside, anyone reading this book could be left in no doubt that the current mainstream medical approach to all things “trans” is profoundly off-beam, and at odds with reality. Gender laws and policies compel institutions like the NHS to lie. They will also understand how much we have all been let down by mainstream media. Around 2012 she became aware of a growing discourse around transgender issues, and became concerned about ethics and the evidence-base for gender self-identification and gender reassignment interventions. She decided to look into it further and has since written about various issues connected to that topic. Why did you write it? In 2012 I first noticed men who identified as women starting to abuse feminists online. A woman could not say that women have unique biology and healthcare needs, and that female biology makes women vulnerable to abuse, without being called a “TERF”– which stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”–“bigot” and even “Nazi”. Isidora Sanger is the nom-de-plume of a retired medical doctor. In this splendid book she demolishes the case for gender identity ideology.
