Benjamin Ryan is an American writer and anti-transgender activist.
Ryan opposes US medical consensus on healthcare for trans and gender diverse youth. Ryan frequently supports other anti-trans colleagues like
Dan Savage,
Jesse Singal,
Jon Kay, and
Jennifer Block as objective experts covering trans issues.
Ryan also supports sexologist and anti-transgender activist
Kenneth Zucker, believing Singal’s version of why Zucker was fired in 2015. In 2023, Ryan began pitching a piece seeking “physicians who might have misgivings about the gender-affirming care model, or who otherwise have theories about why we have seen such a recent surge in trans-identifying young people.”
