Unintended effects of transgender activism on men's issues.
Abstract
Debates over the potentially damaging effects of transgender individuals' participation in women's sports, as well as hormone treatments for "transgender children," have dominated public discussion on the merits of transgender identification. This focus however leaves out many other areas of life in which trans individuals participate. The following article explores further contexts in which trans activism may provoke a tangential but potentially positive effect on men's access to social support, participation and greater life options.
