Effective Transsexualism

2025 has been a very uncertain time for us. The UK has repealed legal transition in all but name, and is trying to sneak toilet laws through the backdoor; the developments in the United States are even more worrying. But instead of giving up to the state oppression, we believe it's high time to try to make a positive difference for us!

Why a new trans org?

Firstly, this isn't an official trans organisation yet, and not sure if it ever will be. Secondly, while many trans orgs do amazing work, we have not found one that corresponds to our priorities well yet.

The name

"Effective" clarifies that at the time of facing state oppression and potentially an existential threat we should focus on what matters to us materially. "Transsexualism" refers to the core proposition we care about: the right to change one's sex.

Activities

We're currently running a fortnightly discussion group in Newspeak House in London! We've been exchanging information and updates, establishing an informal network of personal connections, and setting a direction of what Effective Transsexualism should look like.

After the discussion group we also hang out informally, if you'd like to meet us feel free to tag along to just that!

We do also have a network of Discord and Signal chats for coordination and mingling; either meet us in person or message us introducing yourself (email/Twitter/Bluesky) to be added!
