Transgender Europe

[LeftHandDown]

I can across Transgender Europe today and wondered if they're already known?

tgeu.org/

I've had a brief look at their website where they argue for children (parents) of any age to be able to identify their gender!

I wasn't aware that since Jan 2019 Sweden allowed transmen to be 'father' on birth certificates and 'transwomen who beget a child as mother'

I've come across them before. I was particularly interested in their funders at the bottom of this page.

The Open Society was founded by George Soros, and the Arcus Foundation by Jon Stryker, both fabulously wealthy billionaires prone to supporting what some might class as controversial social issues. If anyone is interested in 'following the money', this is a probably a good place to start

I've come across Arcus before, dodgy AF.

I agree, it's also worth following the money, it never ceases to amaze me where you end up when you pick up the trail.

I just noticed that Toryn Glavin from Stonewall is also on the steering committee!

We had a thread on TGEU a couple of years ago. I can't find it now but someone with superior searching skills might be able to.

Some background info on trans funding here

Once you have the funding in place, the inevitable gravy train can be established, in terms of jobs in the charity sector and research in academia.

The whole juggernaut then becomes self-perpetuating and averse to criticism, as so many careers and reputations become reliant on the income.
