While I certainly wouldn't consider being trans to be fashionable or 
fun, the "born in the wrong body" language is not true of all trans 
people. The definition I prefer to use when I do trans education[1] is 
that a transgender person does not identify with the sex they were 
assigned at birth. I don't like to create a litmus test of who gets to 
use the transgender label beyond that. I simply want everyone to be free 
and safe to live as their authentic selves.

Re: [Gendergap] In memory of User:Danveg

[Chloe Murtagh]

1. How would that be complicated? If people ID as a woman (or NB, or other 
identities included in WiR) then they'll be included, and if they don't they 
won't. It's almost like the entire point of this site is that it's relatively 
easy to edit...

2.  As for detransitioning being a major concern of yours:
"Surgical regret is actually very uncommon. Virtually every modern study puts 
it below 4 percent, and most estimate it to be between 1 and 2 percent 
(Cohen-Kettenis & Pfafflin 2003, Kuiper & Cohen-Kettenis 1998, Pfafflin & Junge 
1998, Smith 2005, Dhejne 2014). In some other recent longitudinal studies, none 
of the subjects expressed regret over medically transitioning (Krege et al. 
2001, De Cuypere et al. 2006).

These findings make sense given the consistent findings that access to medical 
care improves quality of life along many axes, including sexual functioning, 
self-esteem, body image, socioeconomic adjustment, family life, relationships, 
psychological status and general life satisfaction. This is supported by the 
numerous studies (Murad 2010, De Cuypere 2006, Kuiper 1988, Gorton 2011, 
Clements-Nolle 2006) that also consistently show that access to GCS reduces 
suicidality by a factor of three to six (between 67 percent and 84 percent)."
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brynn-tannehill/myths-about-transition-regrets_b_6160626.html)

3. Why are you responding to the project with this irrelevant, inaccurate, TERF 
bullshit? These myths contribute to attitudes and policies that keep trans 
people from healthcare and other means of bodily autonomy. Do you believe that 
politicians overstep and condescend when they say that pregnant people can't be 
trusted to make the decision to get an abortion? This is the exact same 
patronization.

Hi Michal and Tsipi,

Thank you for sharing this news, sad as it is. Would you be OK with my
sharing your email broadly, to remind people of the value of being
observant for people who are experiencing personal difficulties and
offering them assistance, including professional resources, in situations
where that might be helpful?

Thanks,

Pine

Re: [Gendergap] In memory of User:Danveg

[Sydney Poore]

Hi Tsipi and Michal,

Thank you for letting know. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'll pass on the idea of editing article about transgender issues in her

Warm regards,
Sydney
