Back to Triggernometry: the trans debate, with Konstantin Kisin

Every moment swept from this conversation. Each one is about half a minute, and has a page of its own.

How one patient in Wales changed everything

The four stages of transition explained plainly

Why the label given at birth can simply be wrong

The distance between opinion and the consulting room

Medical decisions for children are always made by adults

Why UK medicine uses capacity not age cutoffs

Medicine often works from criteria, not a single test

Switching puberty rather than stopping it

Secondary sex characteristics are what cause gender distress

Gender affirming care improves intimate life for trans people

Why hormones matter for every body across a lifetime

WHO declassified gender dysphoria as a mental illness

Co-occurrence does not mean cause

Transgender people are not simply closeted gay people

Why gender distress can look like social difficulty

What it costs a child not to be believed

A whole childhood of evidence, not one moment

Liking trucks is not the same as a trans identity

No test exists, but that does not make it unreal

Pretending to be a train and identifying as a gender are different things

Gender diversity has always existed across human history

The pain transgender people carry deserves to be named

The gap between tomboy and transgender child

What sitting with transgender children actually looks like

Curing identity echoes conversion therapy

The real source of trans distress is not identity

Transphobia costs lives, not just feelings

Legal protection means nothing without enforcement

What a conversation about gender diversity could look like

Excluding trans women from women's spaces is not feminism
