Genspect and Gender Critical Academics

20th June 2021

Genspect

Genspect is an international alliance of parent and professional groups. They are a much needed voice for parents of gender questioning children at a time when an affirmation-only approach is all that is available and can lead to harmful medical pathways. Genspect want a wider range of treatment options and more evidence-based approaches.

Genspect aim to- “help to provide an alternative source of information for parents, addressing the (often overwhelming) bias in other online resources. We can also help people in the healthcare, education and media sectors, who are increasingly observing the same lack of objectivity. Our voice is reliable, moderate and well-informed, giving you access to all the relevant facts so that you can make rational decisions which are in the best interests of children and young people.”

Open University Gender Critical Research Network

The Open University Gender Critical Research Network was launched this week. Expressing gender critical views in academia has become very difficult and women have been de-platformed or felt pressured into staying silent. They “encourage membership from across all faculties and from outside the University. We also encourage involvement from PGR, academics and researchers who are interested to understand and know more about what is meant by ‘gender critical’ research.”
