Trans activists are advocating for therapists to 'affirm' everyone's gender identity, but critics argue that this approach is a betrayal of patients and a dereliction of duty. The UK Council for Psychotherapy supports therapists questioning patients who present as trans, stating that the 'affirmative' model of care has been detrimental to vulnerable individuals. There is concern over the ideological implications of this debate, with some suggesting a transmutation of existential angst about humanity into a gendered fear surrounding masculinity. Andrew Tate, a figure in the 'manosphere,' promotes a view of human freedom that is criticized as shallow and neoliberal. Critics argue that biological-determinist narratives, such as those embraced by Tate, serve to reinforce capitalist power dynamics. The debate continues with calls for therapists to have the freedom to question their trans patients.

Simply affirming someone’s belief that they were ‘born in the wrong body’ is a dereliction of duty, writes Jo Bartosch https://t.co/WcGoUXWGLA
Biological-determinist narratives are attractive to conservative “manosphere” personalities like Andrew Tate because they bolster the capitalist idea that the powerful should be unimpeded in the exercise of their power. https://t.co/H2I2fPpouI

Many have been quick to lampoon @TuckerCarlson's fixation on testicular tanning. But beyond the scrotal squabbling is a deeply troubling ideology: a transmutation of existential angst about humanity into a gendered fear surrounding masculinity. https://t.co/yzBYbw39Ws https://t.co/GTT4Lib7Hm
Therapists are finally standing up to the gender ideologues. The UK Council for Psychotherapy says counsellors must be free to question patients who present as trans. The ‘affirmative’ model of care has been a disaster for the vulnerable, says Jo Bartosch https://t.co/WcGoUXWGLA
