No she was cancelled for another thing. Then she went on that podcast. Now she’s taking back what she said on that podcast to regain support from the trans activist community.

PhilosphyTube said gender dysphoria is a made up thing by cis doctors, and ContraPoints responded saying Gender Dysphoria is real. That alone got her cancelled in certain communities, so Contra responded again saying even if gender dysphoria is not real, we shouldnt promote that idea because it will hurt trans people getting medical care.

Tweets were deleted so I linked a video below that explains it

Haven't followed the controversy described above, but I just watched the whole video and I have to say, this was one SOLID video essay. Her conclusion in particular was very powerful.

JK Rowling's comments are so problematic and 100% deserve the backlash, but Contra hits the bullseye when she says the real problem is the powerful patriarchy that will ultimately legislate against trans rights. The "concerned mom" façade used as the face of the opponent in SO MANY human rights movement is very convenient for the powerful white men to hide behind. That's where the efforts of the fight need to go.

Really impressed by the essay overall.

You can possibly be trans and not have gender dysphoria, but also, gender dysphoria is a real thing that some trans people experience. This is my understanding on it..

I meant the part about medical care.

I believe that trans people suffer from transphobia and the pressure to pass or fit in but I think gender dysphoria is a made up thing by cis doctors, I know they were just trying to understand us back then.

 

Spoiler

edit: I would never tell another trans person that their dysphoria is not real btw

Its an interesting conversation I never thought of..

Do you think if society didnt have gender expectations and preassures, trans people will be more okay staying in their born gender/sex?

I think that if that ever happens then gender wouldn't exist as we know, men and women(cis and trans) wouldn't be a thing
