‘What is a Woman?’: a provocative look at the transgender debate

These days, dead white males do not count for much. But we still have the legacy of an exceptional man who went around Athens asking people to provide basic definitions. In so doing, he proved to many that they were not as knowledgeable as they thought themselves to be. This man’s questions annoyed many, and for that, he was called “the gadfly”. Ultimately, some Athenians could not handle his intellectual curiosity, and sentenced him to death.

La tendencia trans pierde fuelle

Hace ya algunos años que la percepción de vivir en un “cuerpo equivocado” no es, para la Organización Mundial de la Salud ni para la Asociación Estadounidense de Psiquiatría (APA), un trastorno. La “despatologización” de la denominada disforia de género (DG) ha sacado a esta de la categoría disorder y la ha reubicado en una más neutral: condition. Si no hay disorder, no hay nada que tratar ni investigar: queda solo afirmar en el “género” opuesto a quien así lo desee, con lo que no es raro que en algunos países se hayan disparado los casos de DG.

El doble conflicto de las personas con tendencias sexuales no deseadas

En los últimos meses varios países han aprobado leyes que prohíben los tratamientos dirigidos a quienes buscan ayuda para reorientar unas tendencias homosexuales que experimentan de forma problemática. Tales normas responden a un clima de opinión asentado entre las principales instituciones médicas y el establishment político: que las terapias resultan siempre inútiles y dañinas. Sin embargo, algunos estudios y testimonios personales recomiendan un acercamiento más prudente al asunto.

«Gay non si nasce», parola di psicologa lesbica

Lisa Diamond, membro dell'American Psychological Association e lesbica, sfata il mito del "nati così" per le persone con tendenza omosessuale. Come altre femministe sostiene la fluidità del genere, ovvero la possibilità di cambiare il proprio orientamento sessuale quando si vuole. Ma proprio per questo risulta ancora più inaccettabile il divieto di terapie riparative imposto dalla comunità Lgbt. Anche in Italia, come dimostra il caso Luca Di Tolve.
