Beyond Gender

Mia Hughes is joined by Scott Newgent, who experienced homophobia - from her relationship dynamic, to a trans identified therapist and finally a gynecologist who - without testing - told her she was likely intersex. This made Scott feel out of place and led to her undergoing sex altering procedures, which brought severe medical complications.
Scott is raising awareness and advocates to stop gender-affirming care, particularly for minors, which is cosmetic, not life-saving or evidence-based, and often leads to the health deterioration that Scott experienced.
Scott will be speaking in UK parliament on October 21st to stop the UK’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban, which is vague, could criminalize real help, and is a trojan horse to shut down opposition to gender ideology.

How did transgender identification move out of psychiatry? REPATH Episode 3 traces the de-psychopathologization of gender dysphoria from WPATH's 2010 statement to the 2022 SOC8, and why the 2010s were the tipping point.

In this episode of the REPATH series, Mia Hughes and Stella O'Malley walk through the key milestones in the de-psychopathologization process: the WPATH 2010 statement, DSM-5's shift from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria" (2013), ICD-11's move from "dysphoria" to "incongruence" (2018), WPATH's declaration of medical necessity (2016), and the release of the WPATH Standards of Care 8 (2022).

REPATH is a Genspect campaign calling for the restoration of psychiatric and psychological safeguards in the care of gender-related distress.

How did activism come to shape the institutions that define gender medicine? REPATH Episode 2 follows the rise of transgender activism and its influence on the field, from 1989 to WPATH's 2010 de-psychopathologization statement.

"The decades where society plunged into an alternate reality," after activism and huge amounts of wealth were funnelled into normalising this overvalued idea. Join Mia Hughes and Stella O'Malley along this series where they explore the de-psychopathologization process, and their campaign to re-pathologize as a solution.

This episode covers Phyllis Frye and ICTLEP, the Rothblatt SOC, the International Bill of Gender Rights, HBIGDA's Standards of Care and Levine, Blanchard, Bailey and autogynephilia, Arlene Lev, and the rebrand of HBIGDA to WPATH.

Where did 'gender medicine' begin? REPATH Episode 1 traces its origins from Christine Jorgensen in 1952 through Harry Benjamin, the Netherlands, Johns Hopkins and the birth of WPATH (HBIGDA).

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

This series with Mia Hughes and Stella O'Malley takes you through the early beginnings, starting with "patient zero". Join us on this journey and our REPATH campaign to restore clarity to the field of gender medicine.
