Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 51 ratings

A medical scandal is currently unfolding across Western liberal societies. As Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans reveals, the primary victims are vulnerable, socially awkward kids with normally developing bodies who fall for the Internet-fueled promise that they can solve their emotional, psychological, or physical discomfort by adopting an opposite-sex identity. With deep reservations about the new gender orthodoxy that informs this promise and the irreversible one-size-fits-all medical prescription that comes with it, the parent contributors to this anthology share deeply personal stories about transition and desistance that won't be told at the gender clinic. They also offer practical advice based on hard-earned experience that won't be found in mainstream media. Whether progressive or conservative, gay or straight, secular or religious, they all share the aim of protecting children from the physical and emotional harms of the gender industry and seek to empower and encourage other parents and individuals to combat gender ideology at home, in schools, in clinics, and beyond.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book questions society’s willingness to abandon a generation of children to the dictates of a global political movement. It challenges what it means to be ‘kind’ and blows apart the activist ideology you’re supposed to believe. Essential reading for every parent, lawmaker, and teacher, and for everyone who cares about the welfare of children and the importance of truth.” —Stephanie Davies-Arai BEM, Founder and Director, Transgender Trend

“In the controversy over pediatric gender medicine, some of the most important voices are often the ones least heard. This collection of essays features highly compelling first-hand observations by parents on the front lines of the gender wars. The authors write with sensitivity, nuance, and a deep understanding of the issues. Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans is a critical resource for teenagers, medical professionals, journalists, policymakers, and most of all, other parents.” —Leor Sapir, Fellow, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research

“A much-needed and long-awaited set of narratives that should be considered essential reading for anyone either directly or indirectly affected by gender dysphoria, including trans-identifying teenagers and their parents, and for those who work with gender dysphoric patients, including teaching and clinical staff.” —Dr. Az Hakeem, Consultant Psychiatrist and Specialist in Gender Dysphoria

“These urgent and often heartbreaking testimonies document the pain, suffering, and hope of parents desperately trying to resist family fragmentation and the alienation of troubled but much-loved children.” —Bernard Lane, Journalist, Gender Clinic News

“Parents were the first to point out the unprecedented medical scandal that has been playing out before us, and they have been widely demonized for doing so. . . . This book brings their important stories to a wider audience. This book should be required reading for anyone who works with children and teens.” —Lisa Marchiano, LCSW, NCPsyA, Jungian Analyst

“This collection of essays offers a raw, informative, and incisive critique of youth gender medicine from the perspective of parents. At a time when parental concerns and questions about their children’s gender distress are often belittled or dismissed as ‘transphobia,’ this book couldn’t be more important. . . . [I]n years to come, it will provide some answers when society looks back to understand what happened during the scandal of pediatric gender medicine.” —Sasha Ayad, M.Ed., LPC, Cohost, Gender: A Wider Lens Podcast

    Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans is a compelling and urgent exposé of the medical scandal surrounding gender ideology in Western societies. Through deeply personal stories from parents, the book reveals the devastating impact on vulnerable, often socially awkward children who are drawn to the internet-driven promise of resolving their emotional or physical struggles by adopting an opposite-sex identity. These accounts, which contrast sharply with the narratives promoted by gender clinics, highlight the risks of irreversible medical interventions and the emotional toll of transition and desistance. The book also offers practical, hard-earned advice for navigating this complex issue. Every parent should read this sobering wake-up call to understand the dystopian reality of the gender industry and learn how to protect their children from its harms while challenging this ideology at home, in schools, and beyond.

    Any parent with a child in public schools should read this and learn how best to keep schools from “unparenting” you from your responsibility on raising your children.

    This book is a collection of moving testimonies from parents as they recount stories of losing their daughter or son to transgender ideology and medicalization. There were a few hopeful stories, but not many. The sad situation is that the tales are eerily similar and this trend is harmful to both kids and their families. Totally heartbreaking. Readers will learn from these parents about the issues of social contagion, and how schools, therapists, and many doctors usurp parental authority and wisdom. It is best to read this book before you are deep in confusion and despair. Get educated now! One thing is clear after reading this book, these parents loved their kids deeply. Sadly, there are a magnitude of factors that undermine a parent's concern and love. It is a difficult battle. I learned a lot from these parents.

    In light of the recent publication of the Cass Review, the revelations of the suppression of research from WPATH and the news that Biden officials pushed to remove age limits for trans surgery, this book is more relevant than ever. These parents aren't transphobe - they are looking for evidence based justification for the medicalization of their children.

    It's time to listen to the parents on this issue, as many of those pushing for medical interventions have not been paying attention to the high risks, undemonstrated benefits and alternatives such as mental health support. Evidence base investigations have led many countries other than the US to change policies, to prioritize psychotherapy in order to protect these vulnerable young people. These parents show how their children's distress is summarily mistreated by doctors, therapists, schools and other trusted adults, who ignorantly and arrogantly encourage a medically drastic intervention, blind to what the child's situation is and in a way that demonizes and disempowers the parents if they don't agree on the spot.

    Finally, a collection of essays that truly show the dark underside of the "trans" trend. You couldn't have put a book like this out 2 years ago because it would have been "cancelled" out of existence, but now people are opening their eyes and realizing there is nothing "transphobic" about protecting vulnerable young people. My heart goes out to all the families who have endured this nightmare while most of American society cheered from the sidelines and applauded these kids down a path that I sadly believe will lead most of them to more misery.

    This book is the worst of us. It is poorly researched, poorly written, and, frankly, disgusting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Devastating Stories that deserve to be heard.
    Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2024
    These are a collection of parents' stories of their decending into the darkest places on earth. Many of them are difficult to hear, some parents are still in hell, others are determined to fight and many are finding ways to heal. Each of them has story that describes how society has let them down, and worse, damaged their child.
    Thank you for sharing these deeply personal experinces, I wish you all the best.

    5.0 out of 5 stars These parents' experiences need to be heard
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2023
    These desperately sad experiences told by parents of children who think they are trans need to be heard. Not all children and young people who say they want to transition turn out to be trans. Increasing numbers are coming to regret the largely irreversible medical treatments they have undergone. It's not 'transphobic' to acknowledge this. The more that can be done to ensure that other children aren't subjected to unncessary medicalisation the better, and hopefully this book will help with that. Trans children deserve good medical care, but so do those who turn out not to be trans.

    This is a shocking and important book that shows the harm gender ideology is doing to families from across the political spectrum. Parents are not the enemies but important voices and critical figures in the children's lives. Listen to them. Read them. Share them.
