Here's a history lesson on trans medicine btw: The guy who coined "gender identity", introduced the concept to psychology and did foundational research on it did so trying to find a way to prevent people from being trans.

Why am I bringing this up? Because the origin fallacy will kill your capacity for understanding literally any concept whatsoever. The guy who coined the term gender identity was anti-trans.

The modern scientific consensus on gender identity is so trans-affirming that anti-trans movements attack the concept constantly.

Theories evolve and change over time, and if you get stuck attacking modern theories by referring to shit that happened half a century ago you will disseminate anti-knowledge.

This is not to be confused with the other guy often wrongly credited as having coined gender identity

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Money

He was on related but different shit relating to the medical abuse of Intersex people (the medical abuse he contributed to), believing that gender identity could be set in stone by early-life socialization. He was, famously, extremely wrong about that.

[tpwrtrmnky]

It's important to know how we got to where we are now because sometimes people have ideas that might sound fresh and innovative, but as it turns out, they're going backwards. They're suggesting shit that was tried by weird creeps in the 60s and went horribly.
