The Trans Movement

The overlap includes:

• pathologisation of identity and resulting intra-community disputes

(we feel comfortable saying this as a transgender plural system: syscourse as it stands today mirrors transmedicalism discourse surprisingly closely)

• challenges to normative ideas of gender and self
• lack of knowledge from medical establishment

and anecdotally, higher rates of plurality among the trans population.

Thanks!! Obviously we haven't had a chance to write more on this page. We really appreciate the contribution. Since we wrote the stub (2018) it's blindingly obvious to us that there's a group of Venn diagram rings around trans, plural, EDS (Ehler-Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder most known for stretchy skin and joint hyper-mobility), and other neurodiversity (autism, ADHD). Some people have "chosen"?? (language?) or identify with/have diagnoses in alignment with… all the rings, some only a few. There are some folks who do not have these "add-ons" but they are represented in the plural community to a degree beyond random chance compared to the general population (i.e. EDS is supposedly 1:5000 people, so how do I know dozens on dozens of plural folk with EDS outside of a support group based on it or a conference about it?).

In any case, thanks for adding some content/context to this page.

Notes to selves to add paper/s and research etc. that may have come out since this i.e. like this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S246874992300042X
