About this site

Genderid.nl examines the concept of “gender identity” as a theoretical construct. The central claim: gender identity is not a biological fact but an ideological belief — with no measurable marker, no test, and yet used as the basis for irreversible interventions in children.

What you’ll find on genderid.nl

• The circular reasoning behind the concept of gender identity
• Unfalsifiability: why the claim cannot be tested
• The weak evidence base underpinning the affirmative model
• Why this matters: from the consulting room to legislation
• Three clusters of analysis with one common thread
• The Cass Review as a scientific benchmark

For whom

For anyone who wants to think the concept through for themselves: philosophically and scientifically interested readers, students, journalists, and clinicians who want to look beyond the prevailing narrative.
