About this deal

Fantastic exploration of the tactics used by transactivists to suppress and silence those who question the logic of replacing sex-based rights with gender-based rights. 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. 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.” Full Book Name: Born in the Right Body: Gender Identity Ideology From a Medical and Feminist Perspective This has resulted in the de facto disappearance of women's single-sex spaces and provisions. When the desires of trans-identifying males dominate discourse on both trans rights and women's rights, women's needs become subjugated to men's wants. "That's what gender self-identification means - any man can say he is a woman and automatically gain entry into women-only space." 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.Transactivists use the acronym 'TERF' [trans-exclusionary radical feminist]. This is a misogynistic dogwhistle designed to punish women who refuse to accept the redefinition of the word 'woman' to include men. It is used to vilify women like J. K. Rowling who fight for sex-based rights and child safeguarding. I look forward to featuring this new work on the blog one day! Meanwhile, where can readers find you and your recent book? Yet sporting bodies allowed these men to compete with elite women if they reduced their testosterone levels. Testosterone suppressants only reduce muscle strength by at most 9 per cent. So this treatment cannot remove male sporting advantage. We should support the organisation 'Fair Play for Women', which campaigns to keep men out of women's sports. Treatment cannot change your sex. It can change your appearance, but, as she patiently explains, "Doctors have never made a man's penis and testicles change into a vagina, uterus and ovaries, nor vice versa, and our sex chromosomes likewise cannot be changed. The latter is the most important because, apart from directing the development of the foetus in utero, gene expression differs between males and females and sex differences consequently reside in every cell of our body." I also didn’t quite appreciate how physically strenuous writing a book can be; finding a good chair and desk was essential.

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. Sporting bodies are supposed to safeguard female athletes and female sport. Instead, too many of them changed their rules to allow male athletes to self-identify into competing 'as women'. These males had the benefit of male puberty - which is irreversible. Men have 30-60 per cent more muscle strength.

Customer reviews

Welcome to the blog Isidora. I have just finished reading your book, and found your essays so well researched and well argued that I am happy to recommend them to others who want to look more deeply into this issue. What do you like to read? I read quite widely. I love literary novels but also genre fiction, especially mystery, supernatural and science fiction. Some of my all-time favourite novels are The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, Dictionary of Khazars by Milorad Pavic, The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas, Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Crime and Punishment by Fjodor Dostoyevsky , Dracula by Bram Stoker, Dune by Frank Herbert and The Three-Body Problem trilogy by Liu Cixin. 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. What is your top tip for an aspiring writer? Find a story you can see yourself working on for at least 2 years, if not longer, because writing a book takes time. Every story can be told in countless ways. As writers we have to make choices every time we sit down to write, and it can be daunting to be aware of the choices we didn’t make, to doubt ourselves and even, to start again. The story has to really grab you, it has to remain exciting and motivate you over a long period of time. So, write what you want to read, and what you can see yourself thinking about day after day for the foreseeable future.

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. Having been a feminist for a long time, the insults and threats these men (who called themselves “transwomen”) hurled at women reminded me of Men’s Rights Activists and “incels”, who had been abusing feminists online for years beforehand. However, instead of being universally condemned in feminist circles, they were often being celebrated as “the most oppressed minority in history,” and allowed to take over women’s groups and conversations. Considering that evidence shows the long-term mental health outcomes worsen post medical gender reassignment (Dhejne, et al., 2011), it is not clear what the rationale is for these interventions, or why trans-identifying patients are encouraged to risk their own health in pursuit of a costly, yet unattainable, goal of sex change.”Isidora Sanger is the nom-de-plume of a retired medical doctor. In this splendid book she demolishes the case for gender identity ideology.

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. 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. Gender-reassigned males retain male-pattern criminality. As a result 'trans women' are far more likely to be perpetrators than victims of homicide. 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.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.
