About this site

Alfabetbende.nl is the critical public site about the LGBTQ+ movement within the gender network. The site raises the questions that get silenced elsewhere: about cancel culture, imposed language, social pressure and the medicalisation of children with gender questions — not from a place of hate, but from the conviction that freedom of speech and open debate must also be possible here.

What you’ll find on alfabetbende.nl

• Current articles about cancelling, pronouns and woke corporations
• Trans in sports, and children and gender
• Detransition and the stories behind it
• 108 gender identities under the microscope — with definition, origins and critique
• 61 abbreviations from LGBTQ+ jargon, from AFAB to 2SLGBTQ+
• The sections Canceled, Imposed and Unspoken

For whom

For anyone wondering why it’s so difficult to ask critical questions about gender: journalists, parents, teachers, and readers who want to decode the jargon. The overviews of abbreviations and identities also make the site useful as a reference work.
