[AGTRT-BF101] A Dutch version of the Cass review is a good idea, but Cal Horton’s criticisms should be included
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team It is plausible, but not certain, that a study such as the one conducted over the last four years under the leadership of Dr. Hilary Cass in the United Kingdom (see AGTRT-BF78) could also lead to relevant conclusions in the Netherlands.

[AGTRT-BF100] Transcompatible Manifesto
Jan Bergstra & LaurensAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team We see Formal Gender Theory (FGT) as a theoretical tool that can help bring the social debate on gender to fruition. In doing so, we try to find a workable middle ground between essentialism and co-essentialism, or what we call a middle of the road version(MotR version)…

The question is what changes; we…

[AGTRT-BF98] When will the Roman Catholic Church take a positive step regarding gender transition?
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team As we described in AGTRT-BF91, we view gender incongnuence as a medical condition, a condition that can be viewed as a problem and may warrant medical intervention.

[AGTRT-BF97] The gender profile: ramification of gender identities within gender male and gender female

We are now working with the assumption that for each gender male, female and neutral there is a collection of gender identities belonging to that gender. We want to try to work out the consequences of this assumption in more detail. Unfortunately, this does not…

[AGTRT-BF96] Lisa van Ginneken turns world upside down: not NSC, but proponents of stranded bill threaten trans rights
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team (AGTRT). ‘Apparently I live in a country where the political majority considers me a second-class citizen,’ was the headline of a large piece in the Volkskrant last Wednesday about the stranding of the new transgender law due to a motion by NSC(archive.ph). The quote comes from…
