Call for interview subjects from GC author Elizamonde Green:
My focus will be on the psychological dimensions of the trans movement and how Iāve come to think of gender as a siren songāas tantalizing as it is dangerous. This song tells patients and clinicians just what they most desire to hearāappeals that I plan to explore in this book. For patients, gender promises transformation, a fresh start, and access to a community where you will finally be understood and celebratedāoften for the very things that singled you out for ridicule and ostracism in the past. For clinicians, embracing gender means joining a vanguard. You donāt just get to practice medicine but transform it, saving lives and advancing the next great social-justice cause. Together, patient and clinician immerse themselves in a fiction that causes them to lose sight of the real-world fallout of their actions.
At this point, Iām hoping to set up some interviews for the book with people who have firsthand contact with āgender-affirmingā care as patients (current or former) or clinicians (same). If that sounds like you and you are open to being interviewed and quoted (anonymity is fine!), please reach out by commenting here, via DM, or by email (elizamondegreen@gmail.com).
