Aaron Kimberly and transgender people

by Andrea James Reviewed October 24, 2026 24 min read

Aaron Kimberly is a Canadian former nurse and ex-transgender activist. Kimberly has been involved in a number of conservative and anti-trans projects, including:

Kimberly frequently testifies and advocates against affirming models of care for minors and promotes academic work that is frequently characterized as anti-trans. Kimberly is especially interested in promoting disease models of gender diversity, including “gender dysphoria,” “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” “autogynephilia,” and “autoandrophilia.” Kimberly has occasionally expressed interest in a personal “detransition,” or making additional gender and identity changes. Kimberly has self-identified as transsexual, intersex, lesbian, female, and detransitioned, among others.

Kimberly is a frequent guest on conservative and anti-trans projects, including:

Kimberly has been accused of inappropriate conduct by a number of people, including Holly Lawford-Smith, Jamie Reed, and the hosts of the Stone Butch Disco podcast.

Background

Aaron Kimberly was reportedly born in 1973. According to a ResearchGate profile, Kimberly earned a bachelor’s degree from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in 2000. From 2001 to 2004, Kimberly’s personal website was an illustration and graphic design portfolio.

From 2006 to 2008, Kimberly attended University of British Columbia, studying nursing.

From 2025 to 2026, Kimberly pursued a doctorate in the women’s and gender studies graduate program at University of Alberta. Kimberly later transferred to McGill University to pursue a doctorate in sociology.

In a self-reported biography [original], Kimberly makes the following claims:

  • “at age 19 I had surgery to remove a grapefruit-sized cyst from one of my ovaries”
  • following a biopsy was reportedly diagnosed with “Ovotesticular Disorder of Sex Development (DSD)”
  • in 2006 saw a documentary on mainstream TV about “trans kids” that led to a trans identification
  • began medical transition that year at age 33
  • in 2008 became a registered nurse/BScN wtih a specialty in Psychiatric Nursing
  • worked in the mental health department at St Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, for 10 years
  • In 2017 moved to Kelowna, Canada, to help launch a multidisciplinary youth clinic and do intake assessments
  • consulted with the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA)’s Trans Care BC
  • during this consulting, “I started to become confused and concerned about the current state of trans healthcare”
  • began promoting studies by anti-trans psychologists Ray Blanchard, J. Michael Bailey, Kenneth Zucker, Lisa Littman, and Paul Vasey.
  • “I was removed from the clinical mentorship mailing list, I was accused of using the listserv for anti-trans activism, our clinic was boycotted, and I was moved to another program”
  • “this prompted me to create the Gender Dysphoria Alliance (GDA) in January 2021″
  • was registered in British Columbia as a Practising RN from 2008 until that registration was canceled on April 1, 2023

Conservative activism

Kimberly began engaging in conservative trans activism in 2021 after being alarmed about the affirming model of care used by Trans Care BC for trans and gender diverse youth. In an interview with the National Post, Kimberly stated:

“Alarms are being sounded all over the world,” says Aaron Kimberly, a B.C.-based transgender man and registered nurse with qualms about the current approach. “And Canada seems completely deaf to it. […] We feel the health-care system has been completely taken over by a political agenda at the expense of the actual evidence,” argues Kimberly, who runs the group Gender Dysphoria Alliance.

Kimberly explained to anti-trans activist Pamela Paul:

In 2021, Aaron Kimberly, a 50-year-old trans man and registered nurse, left the clinic in British Columbia where his job focused on the intake and assessment of gender-dysphoric youth. Kimberly received a comprehensive screening when he embarked on his own successful transition at age 33, which resolved the gender dysphoria he experienced from an early age.

But when the gender-affirming model was introduced at his clinic, he was instructed to support the initiation of hormone treatment for incoming patients regardless of whether they had complex mental problems, experiences with trauma or were otherwise “severely unwell,” Kimberly said. When he referred patients for further mental health care rather than immediate hormone treatment, he said he was accused of what they called gatekeeping and had to change jobs.

“I realized something had gone totally off the rails,” Kimberly, who subsequently founded the Gender Dysphoria Alliance and the L.G.B.T. Courage Coalition to advocate better gender care, told me.

According to a post by Kimberly, a number of actions on a clinical listserv led to complaints and eventual removal:

“I declined to continue doing any trans specific work, within a framework I felt was unethical, incompetent and unsafe for such vulnerable youth. I was so disturbed by this experience, I decided to make my concerns public.

It was at this point that I reached out to Dr Lisa Littman, the Canadian Gender Report and the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and launched the Gender Dysphoria Alliance Canada, with my FTM friend [Aaron Terrell] who regretted transition.

I was promptly removed from the TCBC mentorship email list, and they made a complaint to the owner of the listserv, requesting that I be removed because I was a spy.”

“Trans men fight back” (2021)

In July 2021, Kimberly was lead author on an open letter by Gender Dysphoria Alliance Canada and TReVoices. It was also signed by Scott Newgent, Buck Angel, Aaron Terrell, and [Kellie-Lynn] Pirie. It promotes the fringe transsexual taxonomy created by Ray Blanchard in 1989 that divides transfeminine people into “homosexual transsexuals” and “autogynephilic transsexuals,” which the letter abbreviates “AGP.” The authors identify as having “homosexual Gender Dysphoria,” stating “We have a different kind of Gender Dysphoria and have different needs than the AGP males.”

“As trans men, we wish to step forward and expose this because those AGP males (Trans women) have abused and silenced us for years in order to control the narrative.

They are behind the “gender identity” narrative, because that hides AGP.

They are behind the “conversion therapy” bans, because AGP is a sexual orientation that likely can’t be changed through talk therapy, unlike the homosexual subtype, which is best understood as a developmental stage for many LGB people. Most children with this type of GD resolve it as they become adult gay/lesbians. Only a tiny percentage don’t, complicated by things such as homophobia. Developmental psychotherapy can help resolve that. When AGP males control the narrative, banning all psychotherapy for “gender identity”, they are denying those of us with the other types of GD options for appropriate treatment – leaving us with medicalization as the only legal option.

They are also behind the erasure of women’s spaces, and women’s language. Most of us with the homosexual type GD are fully aware of our biological reality, though some of us have chosen to live *as* the opposite sex for our comfort.”

In a 2025 piece on the transgender right wing, while discussing Buck Angel, Eli Erlick wrote:

“This crescendoed when he collaborated with the trans-man-led anti-transgender group Gender Dysphoria Alliance Canada on its notorious “Trans Men Fight Back” statement in 2021. The conspiracy-laden declaration claimed a group of queer trans women are coercing people into trans identity for sexual pleasure and pharmaceutical company profits. “Children are being taught a false narrative in the media and in public schools, which is confusing them … in order to protect the egos, fantasies and capitalist desires of [trans women],” they wrote. Their account of trans politics, predictably, was not well received, and the five white, right-wing trans men quickly took down the statement.”

Therapy practice

After leaving nursing, Kimberly pursued advanced degrees and provided therapy:

“My work focuses on feminist theory, sexual violence, and the experiences of transmen. I examine how rape is understood and narrated when gender identity language replaces attention to sexed embodiment. The core claim guiding my research is that the sexual assaults of transmen follow the same structural patterns that materialist feminism has long identified as male domination of female bodies—yet current discourse often makes these experiences difficult to name.”

Radical feminism

In a since-deleted page promoting radical feminism [original], Kimberly stated:

“Radical feminism has acquired a contentious reputation among transgender communities, largely due to its association with so-called “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists” (TERFs). However, this characterization does not accurately reflect the foundational principles of radical feminist theory. Radical feminism is not inherently trans-exclusionary; rather, it is grounded in a materialist analysis of sex-based oppression and includes transmen within its scope. It is principally concerned with the forms of structural and institutional oppression that arise from the biological realities of femaleness, irrespective of gender identity.

Radical feminism is not anti man nor anti masculine – It’s anti sex stereotypes, promoting the full diversity of each sex, including female masculinity. While transmen may be perceived and treated as male in various social contexts—thereby accruing some degree of male privilege—we nonetheless possess female bodies. As a result, we continue to be subjected to many of the same sex-specific forms of oppression experienced by women in general. These patterns of oppression are not merely residual but ongoing, and they often inform the psychological and social conditions that contribute to the emergence and persistence of gender dysphoria. In this way, the lived experiences of transmen are deeply entangled with the broader framework of female oppression.”

In a profile provided to this site in June 2025, Kimberly stated:

My major influences are second wave lesbian feminism and early queer theory. In the early days (1990s), lesbians like Butler and Halberstam conceptualized the FTM experience as a form of female masculinity (eg. Halberstam’s book Female Masculinity, in which she included FTM as under the banner of lesbian masculinities). That’s still a view I hold, in my self-conception. My current work focuses on applications of radical feminism to transmen, looking for ways, throught a sex-realist perspective, at quality of life measures and the nature of our oppression as masculinized/male passing females. 

2024 Stone Butch Disco accusations

Stone Butch Disco is a Substack newsletter described as “a butch-femme lesbian feminist project: nerd comedy, experiential insights, & alt-academic analysis.”

In September 2024 members of the collective began collaborating on podcast episodes with Kimberly. By November, they announced a split in a since-deleted post:

Aaron repetitively focused conversation onto specific women that Aaron felt slighted by. Due to Rachel and Akiva’s personal histories in abusive relationships, they entertained conversation around uniquely butch vulnerabilities to abuse for a few weeks, culminating in an unreleased 6th podcast episode in which Aaron’s relationships with these women were discussed under the false premise that they were targeting Aaron. It became clear from conversations on and off the recording that Aaron’s treatment of women and especially feminine women was of serious concern. Despite the fact that Rachel requested that Aaron not post the 6th episode anywhere, including on Aaron’s personal channels, Aaron posted it to personal YouTube and Facebook accounts, and used pieces of the audio to harass women via direct message. We were lied to, manipulated, and used. Following these revelations, we removed Aaron from the Stone Butch Disco team.

Kimberly said via email in June 2025 that the announcement was removed “after legal action” because it contained false statements and defamation. Kimberly also stated “my lawyers have evidence that the Statements by both parties are false and defamatory.” This site has requested that evidence for inclusion here. Kimberly instead provided the following statement:

They fabricated a conspiracy that I only made friends with a couple of butch lesbians for the purpose of lying and manipulating them to harass women. No, I did not. When I left the courage coalition, I made new friendships outside that circle and we generated many ideas for projects that I was excited about, such as an archive about butch lesbians. I built the website. We were ready to launch it. Because I saw them as friends I confided in them some of what I had felt and was processing in regards to interactions I had with certain women. I needed someone to talk to because I was confused by aspects of what had occurred. I couldn’t talk to anyone in the network about it. Meanwhile, those women were plotting behind my back and finding ways to sabotage me in the dark

and taking disrespectful shots at me online to hint they were doing so. They shared private text messages, emails and secretly recorded conversations. They publicly accused me of having mental illness I don’t have and for doing things I didn’t do. I feel played by these women. I expect people to come honest. I fully own that I overstepped some boundaries but I was also misjudged and mistreated. They did psychological harm and when I spoke my truth in defence, they weaponized that against me too. 

The mistake we (Stone Butch Disco) made is trying to engage those other women in a conversation via the podcast. Instead of engaging up front, they contacted the Stone Butch Disco and manipulated them into thinking I’d lied and manipulated them. No. I did not. There was no underhanded scheme going on, on my part, and I was severed from new friendships. I found myself caught in a trap of manipulation, and had to manipulate my way out of it. I’m not normally a manipulative person, at all. I’m blunt to a fault and despise head games. I’ve withdrawn myself entirely from the entire network to get my own head straight and stand in my own truth. I’m focussing on transmen and our needs. I’m not interested in playing dirty games. 

My work is based on respectful conversations about ideas and needs. My ideas are not ones everyone agrees with, but people should not be threatened, intimidated, or coerced, simply for having different views, which aren’t motivated by hate. 

I push back on all hateful activity. People are allowed to hate me. They are not allowed to hurt me just because they have feelings about what I believe.

And I mean you too Andrea. There are more constructive ways to negotiate needs and deal with fears, than tearing people down. I’m not playing this game. Both sides are playing dirty. Someone has to stay in the lane of having peaceful and honest conversations for problem solving. If you believe I’m harming you in some way, then let’s have a conversation. Because your way isn’t working. It just drives more hate. 

Since you’ve publicized where I’m enrolled in an MA program, I’m sure you expect that everyone, both TERFs and the trans-queer community will hate me. What they’ll all find, is that I’m reasonable and easy to engage in respectful and honest conversations across multiple lines of disagreement. And I will expect to be treated with fairness and dignity in return. I will work hard and do well in academia to think things through with care. 

I want to build and mend bridges with human beings on any side of the issue, and I will always preserve myself as a human being who has faults and strengths. My door is always open for honest people who aren’t trying to hurt anyone. I’m not afraid to kick the asses of trespassers (metaphorically speaking). I intend to live in peace. 

If you publish any of this, you must post all of it in whole and exactly how I’ve stated it. 

2025 Holly Lawford-Smith accusations

According to anti-trans philosopher Holly Lawford-Smith, Kimberly exhibited “inappropriate and unwanted behaviour” after the two participated in a 2024 MIT debate also featuring anti-trans activists Alex Byrne and Alice Dreger and moderated by Nadine Strossen. On February 3, 2025, Lawford-Smith posted:

On the 17th of April 2024, Alex Byrne & I took part in a debate at MIT. Our opponents were Aaron Kimberly and Alice Dreger. Alex and Alice took opposite sides on the question of whether sex is biological and binary, and Aaron and I took opposite sides on the question of whether gender identity should replace sex in social policy. Aaron & I had some friendly communications in the lead-up to the debate, much of which were me making suggestions as to a topic that we could disagree about productively. We met up for a couple of hours on the afternoon of the debate. At the time, Aaron was associated with the LGBT Courage Coalition, and I was occasionally doing freelance interviews for the LGB Alliance Australia. I figured it would be good to establish some kind of link between the two organizations. 

Since April 2024 or so, I have been dealing with inappropriate and unwanted behaviour by Aaron Kimberly. This includes him repeatedly sending emails to my work address (after I had blocked him on Twitter); contacting my friends and colleagues about me; attempting to organize an in-person event to take place on my campus, at which I would be a speaker, without my permission or input; mischaracterizing our brief interaction to mutual acquaintances; publishing a full podcast episode mischaracterizing our interaction; posting three separate Substack articles about me (one sharing personal information about me and embedding deleted video content that I own the copyright to); sending huge volumes of messages to other people about me; and, most recently, contacting my employer. This has all been the aftermath of Aaron making several romantic advances toward me, which I rejected. To say he’s taken rejection badly would appear to be an understatement.

2025 Jamie Reed accusations

On February 3, 2025, Jamie Reed, who co-founded the LGBT Courage Coalition group blog with Kimberly, posted a similar experience on X:

“I have been subjected to the same unwanted behavior as @aytchellesse including professions of love (there was no romantic relationship), incessant emails to those I work with, and my girlfriend dealing with a barrage of threatening text messages.

The damage extends beyond my harassment. It is damage to those processing their own detransition, and have been led to believe Aaron has a rational voice.

The narrative Aaron Kimberly has put forth is that the lesbian community will reject or has rejected detransitioning women. That is simply not true- this is an individual who has harassed us.”

Reed changed the organization’s name to LGB Courage Coalition and removed all trans members, including Kimberly.

On February 22, 2025, Kimberly posted a lengthy response addressing many of Lawford-Smith’s claims and assertions about their interactions.

Subsequent activism

Gender Dysphoria Alliance ceased activity in mid-2024, and their site was taken offline.

In late 2024, Kimberly was involved in supporting anti-trans psychiatrist Jillian Spencer, who ran for President-Elect of Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP). Kimberly signed and hosted an open letter supporting Spencer. Spencer lost to Angelo Virgona.
