I don& #39;t like "gender identity" as it& #39;s a myth, which is dangerous to children, as it reinforces their already simplistic view of what a man/woman is. However children and teenagers who experience issues with transsexuality are always going to be here. 1/6
If professionals shouldn& #39;t be talking about "gender identity" then what should they talk about? That& #39;s AGP/HSTS. I see much criticising gender identity, yet little understanding of how we should actually be providing an alternative, which is also the truth. 2/6
I don& #39;t agree with AGPs using women& #39;s facilities, however do think AGP is mischaracterised by people using solely its worst examples, and misattributed qualities it doesn& #39;t have. Horrible AGPs exist, but there& #39;s nothing inherent in AGP that makes you this way. 3/6
I& #39;d like policymakers and charities to work on the basis of AGP/HSTS, not "gender identity". However while AGP is synonymous with "pervert, mysogynist, fetishist" rather than "13 year old boy who is confused about sexuality and has gender dysphoria" (like I was) or 4/6
"something that needs to be held to the standards of safe, sane and consensual sexuality" it& #39;s an uphill struggle. Charities and policymakers have to deal with real people: not AGP caricatures assembled on the internet to express shared disgust. 5/6
If AGP remains solely as these caracatures, then I don& #39;t think charities or policymakers are going to pick up HSTS/AGP any time soon, and "gender identity" will continue to fill that vacuum. 6/6
