Development and gender people: I've been brave enough to write an article on sex and 'gender identity' Will you be brave enough to tweet it? Its a slippery slope, before you know it we might be having serious discussions on the topic

Great article. The only point I want to add is that what is called gender identity is in fact stereotyping of what being a woman or a man means. This is what needs to be challenged, so that people don’t feel the need to reshape their bodies to fit into a desired *stereotype*.

Spoken like a true cis person who has never had to examine their most inner & innate core identity. Gender identity isnt about shallow outward presentation or what society/cultural. thinks is male/female. I'm really glad, for your sake, that your gender identity matched your sex.

Yes you are right I have not experienced gender dysphoria or body dysmorphia. I have sympathy for people who do, and for those who determine that the only way to alleviate it is through surgery. But being a male with gender dysphoria is not the same thing as being a female person

Often it is compassionate and polite to pretend that they are, but when situations such as sporting competition other people's bodily privacy are concerned we segregate by objective sex, not subjective gender identity.
