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. 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. With a name that conjures ghosts of the first-wave past, retired medical doctor and women’s rights activist Isidora Sanger informs us that this essay collection is “a record of an ignoble moment in history that should not be swept under the carpet and forgotten.” 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”. Written by a doctor under a pseudonym, this book will resonate with the majority of medical professionals. Owing to the aggressive approach of trans activists there is a climate of fear that inhibits open and honest discussion of matters relating to 'gender' and transgenderism. Trans lobbyists for a long time insisted upon an atmosphere that made it akin to heresy to discuss, debate or question trans ideology. Critics were shut down, women in particular were persecuted and vilified if they dared to point out the intellectual incoherence of trans ideology, or its inevitable undermining and destruction of the rights of women and girls. 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. I look forward to featuring this new work on the blog one day! Meanwhile, where can readers find you and your recent book?Whole sectors of society have been conditioned to believe that there are “trans people,” as opposed to “people who believe in transgenderism.” Linguistic capture and mission creep are the trans activists’ modus. I do not accept that there is a distinct, objective category of “trans people.”“Trans” describes a subjective, and often impermanent, belief only. Besides that belief, there are autogynephilic men who fetishise femaleness – some of whom immerse so deeply in that porn-fuelled fantasy that they dissociate (“born in the wrong body”) – and there are women and girls in flight from femaleness.

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.

Customer reviews

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. PDF / EPUB File Name: Born_in_the_Right_Body_-_Isidora_Sanger.pdf, Born_in_the_Right_Body_-_Isidora_Sanger.epub Privately, all doctors know, via their training, that sex is binary, immutable and critical as the cornerstone of human physiology, with profound and immutable differences between the sexes which cannot be altered, amended or modified in any meaningful way. The state of being male or female, a man or a woman, is a matter of biological fact and reality, not self-proclaimed, narcissistic 'identity'. The small minority of people with chromosomal abnormalities leading to variations of sexual development who are routinely leveraged and weaponised by the trans lobby to justify men self-identifying as woman are all, indisputably either male or female. Hermaphrodites and 'gender-neutral' humans do not exist. The closest to this state are probably those who have undergone 'transition' - sterilised and stripped of sexual function by the trans movement and its Frankenstein treatments. 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. I also didn’t quite appreciate how physically strenuous writing a book can be; finding a good chair and desk was essential.

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.Ultimately, those harmed the most by trans ideology are those sold the lie that 'gender' is more real than biological sex. This can never be borne out by life experience. Those who sought relief from distress by 'transitioning' are increasingly finding that they were sold a con. The 'treatment' that was supposed to fix them leaves them in a permanent limbo, where their innate and irrevocable sex is no longer manifested in their healthy body, and the non-functioning simulacrum with which it is replaced neither alleviates their distress nor convinces the world they have become what their false beliefs told them they really were.
