In the United States, which is the pace-setter in these things, they will go public with their outrage and – in the great American legal tradition – they will bring a class action which will be joined by thousands of others who feel similarly aggrieved, against the clinicians and professional advisors who carried out these procedures. Their stories and the accounts of how they became convinced that this course of action would bring them personal fulfilment will have tumultuous implications in American medical history. Millions, if not billions, of dollars in damages will be paid out to those deemed to be victims of this extraordinary movement. Many medical careers will be destroyed and no clinician in his right mind will consider venturing into the accursed field again. And that will be the end of the extreme trans lobby. In the analysis of this bizarre phenomenon it will then be very important not to confine the discussion to the very specific matter of sexual identity. That will be a temptation because it is so very strange that the most basic fact of the human condition – the biological difference between men and women – should have become contestable, and that so many seemingly rational people could have accepted such drastic violations of healthy bodies.
