According to author and writer Andrea Long Chu, sexual changes should be a common human right.
All people, including those with mental illnesses and children, should be able to biologically change their sex at will, according to Chu, who is transgender, in a recent article for New York magazine.
The author claims that we will not be able to defend the rights of transgender children until we can only know them as complete members of society who would like to change their sex. We may be prepared to stand up for the notion that, regardless of age, gender identity, social environment, or medical history, everyone should be able to obtain sex-changing health care in principle.
Chu goes on to say that cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers have also been used to treat infertility and menstruation, protecting the patient’s natal sexual against the progression of age. So, transgender people should have the same right as those who use these medications to recognize their gender.
What we call now “gender-affirming care is a part of a larger history of sex-affirming care that is governed by strong ethical values of health, productivity, and social worth,” Chu writes. The real issue is” which sex may be affirmed — and why]…] It is the goal of sex change that determines its acceptability, not the shift itself.”
Chu was awarded a Pulitzer Prize last year for guide reviews and has written essays on gender for a variety of prestigious papers, including the New York Times. The author is perhaps best known for her essay titled” My new vagina wo n’t make me happy,” which asserted that transitioning was n’t about mental well-being.
The author has a reputation for being subverted, perhaps within transgender communities, and has recently made the controversial claim that sexual desire and porn can influence transgender identity. This contradicts the common belief that switching is merely a means of fetish fulfillment rather than self-actualization.
Transgender treatment supporters respond to concerns about child transitions by claiming that minors do n’t typically go through cross-sex genital surgery. Additionally, they assert that adolescents ‘ treatments are typically reversible and that there are strong guardrails in place to prevent them from undergoing the procedures because of a sudden change in gender identity or medical issues. Likewise, Chu contends that the training” may be occurring.” What does this liberty actually look like, the author inquires. Anyone can change their gender, please. Change the gender of everyone. Let everyone re-enter their intercourse.
The author also clashes with gender-critical feminists, constantly mocking and refuting women’s fears of rape at the hands of transgender men, calling the fear of rape a “paranoid fantasy” and claiming that trans women are more likely than biological women to be sexually assaulted.
What we are seeing is a potential reversal of the gender balance, which is no more inherently innovative than, say, the contraceptive pill, according to Chu. ” Sex-affirming care has always been a part of one’s spiritual perception for society. It ca n’t serve ours for no reason.
