The history of transgender people

The history of transgender people is complex and varied, stretching back to ancient civilisations and continuing through to the present day. While there is no single narrative that can capture the full breadth of transgender experience, there are certain key moments and figures that have helped shape our understanding of gender identity and expression.

One of the earliest recorded examples of transgender identity comes from the ancient Sumerian civilisation in Mesopotamia, where priests and priestesses of the goddess Inanna would sometimes dress in clothing associated with the opposite sex and perform rituals that blurred traditional gender boundaries. In other cultures, such as the Native American tribes of the Two-Spirit tradition or the hijra communities of India, individuals who did not conform to traditional gender roles were often revered as having special spiritual or healing powers.

The modern concept of transgender identity emerged in the mid-20th century, when medical professionals began to recognise that some people experienced a persistent and distressing sense of incongruity between their gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth. This led to the development of gender-affirming medical treatments such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery.

One of the earliest known examples of gender-affirming medical treatment took place in Germany in the 1920s, when Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld established the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin. The institute offered medical and psychological support to people who experienced gender dysphoria, as well as advocating for legal and social recognition of transgender identity.

Unfortunately, the institute was destroyed by the Nazis in 1933, and many of its patients and staff members were killed or forced into hiding. It was not until the 1950s and 60s that transgender identity began to be more widely recognized in Western medical and psychological circles, thanks in part to the pioneering work of researchers such as Dr. Harry Benjamin.

In 1952, Benjamin published "The Transsexual Phenomenon," which outlined a clinical framework for understanding and treating gender dysphoria. He argued that transgender people should be allowed to access medical interventions such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery in order to align their bodies with their gender identity, and he helped establish the standards of care that are still used by many medical professionals today.

Throughout the 20th century, transgender people faced significant discrimination and marginalisation, particularly in the United States. Laws and social norms restricted their access to healthcare, education, employment, and other basic rights, and they were often subject to harassment and violence.

In the 1960s and 70s, however, transgender activists began to organise and advocate for their rights, paving the way for greater recognition and acceptance of transgender identity in the decades that followed. In 1975, for example, the first international conference on transgender rights was held in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together activists from around the world to share their experiences and strategies.

Today, transgender people continue to face many challenges, including discrimination, violence, and lack of access to healthcare. However, there have also been significant gains in terms of legal protections and social acceptance, particularly in many Western countries. Transgender celebrities such as Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner have helped to raise awareness and visibility of transgender issues, and many organisations and advocacy groups are working to promote transgender rights and equality.

The history of transgender people is one of resilience and resistance, as individuals and communities have fought to assert their identities and secure their rights. While there is still much work to be done, the progress that has been made in recent decades provides hope for a more inclusive and just future.

Devastating and infuriating. This is what stochastic terrorism does. If you can, join me in donating to @everytown - link in bio. #Repost @abbychavastein with @use.repost ・・・ We are angry. We are heartbroken. The saddest of all, we aren't shocked. Waking up to this horrible news: 23 people shot, 5 killed, at the queer @clubqcoloradosprings. "#ClubQ, described the shooting as a "hate attack." Every #TransDayOfRemembrance these words come to mind: "על אלה אני בוכיה. עיני עיני ירדה מים, כי רק ממני מנחם משיב נפשי." "On these I cry. My eyes, my eyes, flow with tears. It is far from me a comforter who can revive my spirit." Crying. 2 important quotes from the @abcnews article (swipe for screenshot, link in story): "Club Q hosts a weekly drag show and live DJ on Saturday nights, according to its website." Maybe it was a coincidence. Most possibly, all the fear mongering on #DragShows? This is a result of it. Stop! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ Another: "We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack." We have said this so many times, it once again becomes evident. We keep us safe. Not an outside force. The only true safety is in community. Swipe for more thoughts - and check out @adameli's tweet (slide 3). ClubQ was going to host an all ages #DragQueen brunch this morning. This isn't a coincidence 💔 #ColoradoSprings #lgbtqia #dragqueens #dragbrunch #gayrights #protectqueerkids #protecttranskids #protecttransyouth #transrights #transdayofremembrance #colorado #guncontrol #massshootings #homophobia #transphobia #supporttranskids #hatecrime #transrightsarehumanrights #gayrights #christofascism #rightwing https://www.instagram.com/p/ClMFIr5O88c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Protect Trans Kids

I have just about had it with the ‘puberty blockers are low quality evidence interventions.’ So are many cancer treatments. People don’t realize that GRADE criteria have to be contextualised—they just run with it to headlines. They have tried to de-legitimize a life-saving treatment for trans youth.

Surprise, the bad take comes from Florida, where the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration said trans healthcare was bad medicine.

A corrective report by Yale reminds everyone that ONLY random control trials ever even get the ‘high qual’ rating, and that ‘“low quality” in this context is a technical term and not a condemnation of the evidence, because “low quality” studies regularly guide important aspects of clinical practice.’

Imagine them revoking your experimental leukemia treatment; they wouldn’t, would they?

Now the UK NHS is trying the same Florida trick, using a decontextualized understanding of ‘low quality’ vs ‘high quality’ to undermine the treatment of trans youth. I give you the NICE (not nice) report—and a relevant article explaining the issues at hand.

“Several people have written about the flaws in the NICE review, including this excellent article by AJ Eckert. I’ve examined parents of trans children’s concerns with the NICE approach to evidence in a recent peer reviewed article in which parents of trans children described puberty blocker Randomised Control Trials as “conversion therapy” or akin to “eugenics”.

We KNOW that puberty blockers have been used in many contexts for health reasons outside of #trans treatment. We KNOW that using them for trans care improves mental health and prevents suicidal ideation. Yet the backlash continues. And it’s growing.

Repost for @_thescreamkween:

So I haven't really been pushing my crowdfund campaign lately for me and my child to relocate due to a lot of reasons but mostly because deep down I feel like I will never be able to achieve what seems like an impossible goal and that is to move to a whole new city alone as a single mom of a one. But my child's safety and well being is more important than anything and even if I want to give up, I know I can't because of that. That's why I am trying once again to push this fundraiser so that my teen can have a chance at a more affirming life. As a parent, it's really tough seeing them struggle in a state that is anti-trans. They are not able to get the gender affirming care they need here which is essentially damaging their mental health despite being in therapy. I have no family or friends here to support me or my child even though I was born and raised here. This is not our home and it never has felt like it.

I am desperately asking for help. Please if you can donate and if not I would appreciate that this post get shared so that maybe someone out there can. I am all my baby has but I need community and support in order to help them thrive. Donations links are in my bio. Thanks for reading. ❤️

Growing up transgender in the UK, now and then

Growing Up Trans tells this story about how being a trans kid now is often different from what it was in the past.

//I know a handful of trans adults in their latter years, who were supported at an early age. They are still trans decades later, living their lives, growing old, surviving. One lady in her 70s came to speak to me after meeting our family, including our trans daughter.

She told us how happy she was to meet us, & that we were supportive & accepting of our child as trans. Then, fighting back tears, she said, do you know I'm trans too, & I was a trans child.

She told us after transition she'd had to move away from home, & had never disclosed her trans history to anyone outside her immediate family. She said that colleagues she'd worked with for years, & her close friends had no knowledge she was transgender.

Her parents had supported her during childhood but she was told or had learned to hide that aspect of herself. To access medical care she moved across the country. She said she had led a happy life, with a loving partner, and a rewarding career.

She was so happy to see our child was happy, supported & loved, & she saw a future for trans children, where they did not have to hide. Where trans children are accepted & supported.

The [British] Gender Recognition Act 2004 provided a formal (though expensive, & pathologising) process for changing legal gender for trans adults. The Equality Act 2010, gave trans school children legal protections to protect them from discrimination & abuse.

Trans children have always been there, its just that only recently have they had legal rights. They've only recently had formalised access to established international standards of health care, & only recently not been forced to undergo years of stigmatising psychotherapy.

The current government might be able to change the laws to remove protections, they might be able to remove supportive policies from schools which protect trans (& LGBT kids) from bullying but they can't mandate trans kids out of existence.

This generation of trans kids will not go back into hiding. They will not suffer another Section 28 or be forced into silence & shame. They are here, they are thriving, they are living. They need all our support to be given a voice, to be heard, #SupportTransKids #TansKidsLiving //

Gender Dysphoria and the Self-concept

Navigating the Challenges of Identity

Introduction

The human experience is a complex tapestry of emotions, thoughts, and perceptions, and at the core of this intricate web lies the concept of self. Our self-concept, the way we perceive and understand ourselves, plays a vital role in shaping our identities and how we relate to the world. However, for individuals experiencing dysphoria, this relationship with the self can become a source of immense struggle. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of dysphoria and its profound impact on the self-concept.

Understanding Dysphoria

Dysphoria refers to a state of profound unease or dissatisfaction. It can manifest in various forms, but one of the most commonly discussed is gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria occurs when there is a disconnect between an individual's gender identity and the sex assigned at birth. This dissonance can give rise to feelings of distress, anxiety, and discontentment.

Impact on the Self-Concept

Dysphoria profoundly affects the self-concept of individuals grappling with gender identity issues. The self-concept, which encompasses beliefs, values, and one's understanding of who they are, can be thrown into turmoil when it clashes with society's expectations or one's physical appearance. The incongruence between a person's internal sense of self and their external presentation can lead to a fractured self-image and a profound sense of being out of place.

Challenges and Internal Conflicts

Individuals experiencing dysphoria often struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions regarding their identity. The dissonance between their true gender identity and societal expectations can lead to internal battles, self-doubt, and a constant questioning of their authenticity. This struggle can erode self-confidence and impact various aspects of life, including relationships, professional pursuits, and overall well-being.

Seeking Self-Acceptance and Authenticity

A crucial aspect of navigating dysphoria and reclaiming a positive self-concept lies in seeking self-acceptance and embracing one's authentic identity. It requires acknowledging and honoring one's true gender identity, regardless of societal norms or expectations. This process involves self-exploration, self-reflection, and seeking support from understanding individuals, such as therapists, support groups, or friends and family.

External Factors and Societal Influence

Societal attitudes and stigmas surrounding gender dysphoria can significantly impact the self-concept of individuals experiencing dysphoria. Discrimination, lack of acceptance, and the invalidation of one's identity can exacerbate feelings of distress and erode self-esteem. Society's expectations and rigid gender norms can create barriers to self-acceptance, making it essential to challenge these constructs and advocate for more inclusive and accepting environments.

Supportive Interventions and Therapeutic Approaches

Therapeutic interventions play a vital role in supporting individuals with dysphoria to navigate their journey towards self-acceptance and a positive self-concept. Therapists specialising in gender identity issues employ various approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and gender-affirming counseling, to help individuals develop coping strategies, challenge negative self-beliefs, and foster self-compassion. These interventions provide individuals with tools and support to navigate the complexities of their self-concept and overcome the challenges presented by dysphoria.

Conclusion

Dysphoria, particularly gender dysphoria, represents a significant challenge to the self-concept of individuals. The incongruence between one's true gender identity and societal expectations can lead to profound feelings of distress and discontentment. However, through self-exploration, self-acceptance, and support from understanding individuals and therapeutic interventions, individuals experiencing dysphoria can reclaim their self-concept and embrace their authentic identity. It is vital for society to foster an inclusive and accepting environment, free from stigmas and discrimination, to empower individuals to navigate their journey towards self-acceptance and live authentically.

They only protect and serve the RICH and THEMSELVES! It’s OUR MONEY!!! Remember that! THE RICH DO NOT PAY TAXES AND USE THE POLICE TO ATTACK US USING OUR OWN MONEY!!! ANY POLITICIAN THAT SIDES WITH ANY POLICE UNION IS NOT OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE! THE GOP HATES YOUR KIDS TOO! GUN REFORM NOW!
