gendergekte.nl
gendergekte.nl calls itself a chronicle of the gender debate in the Netherlands. The site documents incidents, policy blunders, language politics and cancellation cases involving gender, always citing the source, date and name. The publisher is Stichting Genderinfo i.o.; the site is part of the same network as genderinfo.nl. That network also includes genderballast.nl, a dossier on what LGBTQIA+ policy costs in terms of language, time and money.
The main article on this subject is Gendergekte.nl.
The name and tone are polemical. The approach is that of a logbook: individual events are briefly described and traced back to the original reporting.
What you can find
The reports are divided into categories: politics, education, sports, cancel culture, language politics, international affairs, the law, medicine and a category for notable incidents. Topics range from transgender athletes in school competitions to political campaigns and debates about medical transition. The site also refers to guides for parents and for people who regret a transition.
Examples of reports
The reports are brief and dated. At the beginning of October 2026, the top items included a piece about a female wrestler suing a school district, a report dated September 28 about a Portland newspaper dismissing concerns about women’s sports as fearmongering, and a report dated September 24 about Democratic congressman Kaptur. This shows that, contrary to what the subtitle suggests, the chronicle also follows a great deal of American news. In addition to the categories mentioned above, there is a category about the media and one centered on media sociologist Peter Vasterman. An archive makes older reports easier to find. This site features a background article on sports: gender and sports.
Approach and place within the network
The site describes itself as a news blog about incidents in gender discourse, based on publicly available sources, and cites the sources for each report. The two guides it refers to are deouders.nl, for parents of transgender young people, and transspijt.nl, for people who regret a transition. The site also refers to related sites in the same network, including gendersekte.nl. A chronicle of incidents says little about how often something occurs: the selection consists of notable cases. Anyone seeking an overview of policy or research will also need broader sources.
Why it is included in this archive
A chronological overview of individual incidents is missing from most informational websites. The chronicle at gendergekte.nl supplements this and fits the topics developments in the Netherlands and current affairs. Given its pronounced perspective, it is advisable to read the cited sources for yourself.
