Reader’s letter: we must be fearless in combating transphobia

It seems to be the case that trans rights is a polarising issue. However, the case for embracing the trans movement is evidently consistent with science, statistics and data. By contrast the “gender critical” movement is generally rooted in reactionary ideology.

Binary gender has been a dominant social reality since Aristotle invented gender essentialism and remained largely uncriticised until recently. A lot of peer reviewed modern research contradicts this one dimensional view and instead posits an almost infinitely variegated spectrum of gender. We must be bold and fearless in combating transphobia as we are with any other aspect of fascism, for that is what transphobia is, fascism.
