The Death of the ‘Transgender’ Umbrella
-
Mercedes Allan’s discussion paper is a very thought provoking and worthwhile read, for me the crux is:” Part of this will require us to stop making assumptions about everyone else and start listening to how they define who they are, what they need and what their life experiences mean. Which means to stop assuming that everyone who isn’t exactly like us should be dismissed as “not real.” And means to stop assuming that third-sex or third-gender identification is any less valid than binary identification or that accommodation of both is irreconcilable.”
Of course the problem of a commonly accepted defining descriptor is as hard to find as unity itself, for that in my view is that which I am trying to strive for.
Let the goodwill and discussion thrive.
