And institutional language games is such a huge part of manipulating the culture! This is so important. (‘Be kind, gender affirming CARE, inclusivity, reproductive rights, top surgery, able bodied, cis…) I recently saw a post on substack discussing an article written in a main stream outlet. In the main stream article, the phrase gender affirming Care was smoothly blurred to included REGULAR healthcare such as strep throat, for example. Because, you see, trans people will fear seeking out basic healthcare if they feel like the doctors will discriminate against them or not treat them based on their trans identity. Therefore we MUST support gender affirming care b/c really it is just regular, everyday healthcare.
This is a language game. Blur the lines. Confuse people who really do not care to know what is happening to kids. They count on good, kind liberals to do the work of normalizing gender identity and medical treatments on kids and young adults.
If you listen to the first intro to this episode, they are giving a call out for people who have been affected by gender affirming care, parents and kids, to create an episode. The normal listener of the show will be pro gender affirming care. We need to spread the message so they get lots of submissions from parents and kids who are against it and who it has harmed. Can you help spread the message?
They looking for short voice memos to be sent to genderstory@nytimes.com They’re asking for submissions by kids and parents with experience with GAC. How the recent govt actions have affected you and how do you feel about the future? They are curious about “where it came from who it was meant to help and how it became a political fight which would end it”
