What are the driving forces that prevent the support of concepts like gender-affirming care and gender dysphoria?

Started June 15, 2023

Abstract or project description

This review paper investigates the driving factors that prevent the support of concepts related to gender dysphoria. I identified the morality of gender ideology being introduced in children. I explored how traditional values contradict transgender values and ideology. I connected this idea with the issue of transgender people participating in sports of their desired sex. Then, I discussed the politicization and radicalization of such transgender rights movements across the US and how it differs from other movements like those for civil rights and feminism. Finally, I concluded with human thought in gender vs. sex and how different regions around the world see the difference between biology and psychology.
