“The stories of parents of gender dysphoric and/or trans-identified kids are vitally important for anyone who wants to understand the cultural and scientific controversies around 'gender-affirming care.' Parents have been pressured, silenced, ignored. Their kids have been hurt, their families disrupted—sometimes destroyed. They've also been a vital force in organizing and researching the phenomenon that did so much damage, and finding resilience and strength. Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans has given these parents the voice they need and deserve—and which we all need to listen to.”
—Lisa Selin Davis, author of Tomboy

About the Book

In this second volume of Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans, more parents share stories about how they, their families, and their children have been adversely affected by an ongoing medical scandal fueled by gender ideology. As these parents know all too well from what they’ve witnessed at home, 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 well-founded 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—and heartbreak and tragedy—that won’t be told at the gender clinic or by the organizations complicit in the scandal. They also offer practical advice based on hard-earned experience that won’t be found in mainstream media or in the colorful ideology-based educational pamphlets handed out by nonprofits. 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.
