Beyond Gender

"The decades where society plunged into an alternate reality," after activism and huge amounts of wealth were funnelled into normalising this overvalued idea.

Join us along this series where we explore the de-psychopathologisation, and our campaign to re-pathologise as a solution.

What happens when a new, whacky idea enters society's consciousness, and then mad scientists and large amounts of money meet? De-psychopathologisation.

Our series will take you through from the early beginnings, starting with "patient zero". Join us along this journey and our REPATH campaign to restore clarity to the field of gender medicine.
