About this site

Mijngender.nl brings together letters and diary fragments about transition, doubt and finding yourself again — deeply personal, and critical of the strictly gender-affirming framework. Each letter links a life story to a theme from the research.

What you’ll find on mijngender.nl

• Letters such as “To my daughter, four years on” and “To the psychologist who never asked the next question”
• The thematic “… and me” series: Cass Review, Dutch Protocol, desistance, Littman and ROGD, peer cluster, autism, trauma and internalised homophobia
• AGP, and what that word does to people
• Frequently asked questions from parents about gender dysphoria in their teenager

Who it’s for

For anyone who wants to explore their own feelings about gender through other people’s experiences, and for parents who want to sense the realities behind the terminology.
