A transgender rights organization decided against publishing an article on a “biological” theory of transgenderism after backlash from activists.
TransLucent, a U.K.-based transgender advocacy group, released a statement on Tuesday saying it would no longer be publishing a “groundbreaking article” that claims “being trans is a biological condition.” TransLucent had previously announced its plans to publish the article on Friday, December 16, in a now-deleted Twitter post. After receiving hundreds of critical comments, the advocacy group reversed course. Many expressed apprehension that the search to find a biological basis for transgenderism was misguided and could be exploited (with eugenics mentioned as a top concern).
