Has anyone else read the essays being published in The Economist's Open Future

Our Second Week of Essays on Transgender Identities

Well worth a read.

I found this paragraph interesting

Though our participants ranged wide, their arguments were, of course, not exhaustive. Perhaps no set of ten viewpoints on something as complex and varied as trans identities could be. But it was also hard to get people to participate. Several of those we invited told us that none of these issues should even be up for discussion. We forged ahead, however, partly because of our commitment to the liberal value of open debate but also because, like it or not, trans issues are up for discussion, as a matter of simple fact.

I'm very curious about who these people were. I'd take a bet they are more of the TRA #nodebate persuasion.

I've enjoyed the series. Posted a link to one of Kristina's on my FB with a little "oh, look, it IS a debate, who knew?" pa dig at my family members.

And mentioned it to friend who hasn't peaked yet, as a gentle, look at both sides introduction. Refreshing to see different sides of the subject set out together.
