Gender Madness: One Man's Devastating Struggle with Woke Ideology and His Battle to Protect Children

by Oli London

How one man's struggles with self-Identity and detransition lays challenge to the very foundations of the "gender ideology" movement.
 
While documenting his own personal identity struggles with gender and self-identity, British K-Pop singer Oli London explores the root cause of the issue of trans ideology and gender identity, tackling the pressures of social media, the education system, media, and other factors that are pushing a growing number of young people into transitioning. He takes a close look at real world examples and examines laws, research, and data to help lift the lid on the multi-billion dollar gender affirming care industry.

Gender Madness  gives an intimate look into what led Oli London to his identity struggles becoming a "Korean woman" and how he overcame his battle to become an advocate for the millions of young people who question their own identity. He recently publicly announced he had detransitioned and is living as a male again and has since become an outspoken activist for children and women's rights, appearing regularly on numerous news networks including Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, EWTN, Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and Talk TV to campaign against gender affirming surgery in teenagers. This book shares his deeply personal life journey and his important message to others, all while encouraging readers to question the current societal trends and challenge their own way of thinking.

Absolutely brilliant book very well written.

It appears that the negative reviews are from some sort of cult unfortunately.

Firstly, you were never trans Oli, you wanted to become a Korean in particular Jimin from BTS, after you saw that being Jimin was not getting as much engagement you decided to become Rosé from BlackPink.

You never wanted to be a woman, you wanted to become a Korean celebrity, you never experienced gender dysphoria, you were just an insecure man who coped on becaming famous people to get attention.

Nobody ever encouraged you to transition, quite the contrary, they asked you to stop.

You literally offended an entire race and music group, you are not a victim and will never be one.

Stop talking shit abot trans people, your issues about trans people is such an american thing that only exist in y'all reality.

Minorities in general have nothing to do about this, you guys are retarded and live in such a fucked up situation with each other, the world doesn't revolve around you, we aren't all the same.
Period.

I hated Oli for being so confused and influencing children, but he's come around and he's fighting stronger than I ever could. I stand behind you now, children must be protected at all costs.

Misinformation heaven paired with repetitive dribble

While Oli London attempts to pass this semi-memoir as a daring yet helpful little book of guidance and hope, it’s poor writing, editing, and citation leaves little to be desired. Buckle up, because this is a doozy.

A brief word on the writing itself: It quickly becomes clear Oli’s lack of a professional editor. Several phrases and sentences seem to repeat throughout the book, so much so that I turned back a page several times to make sure I wasn’t accidentally rereading the same paragraph. The repetition is so bad it’s annoying. Much of the first half of the book could be cut down by a chapter or so worth of paragraphs and nothing would change. The childish prose doesn’t help with this either, as reading through this book makes it feel like it was written by a teenager still in a creative writing course.

Now, onto the meat of the book. The book is split into two parts: Part 1 is a sort of auto-biography, while Part 2 is a casserole of gender identity discourse.

The first half of the book is Oli recounting his youth and drawing grossly misaligned parallels between his extreme body dysmorphia and plastic surgery addiction to gender dysmorphia and transgenderism. It’s sprinkled with various milestones in his life, including jobs, volunteer work, school, etc, all under the lens of his massive insecurities and mental illness. He has an intense fascination with his body and face, mentioning the word “mirror” a couple hundred times to hammer in the point. He later gets several plastic surgeries to ‘correct’ whatever the problem of the week was. He seemingly found any excuse to get surgery, and only until the last handful of surgeries does he attribute it to ‘transitioning’. At no point during this surgery adventure does he see a therapist, psychologist, a gender clinic in his home country, seek hormone therapy, or seemingly *talked* to a trans person one on one to get advice. In fact, he purposefully avoids the hoops the UK has for those who transition and instead opts to travel outside the country to hire yes-men surgeons. It becomes clear ‘transitioning’ became yet another one of several rationalizations Oli convinced of himself to feed his addiction, yet much of the book blames trans people for this issues. At the end of his journey, he finds God, and now all his surgery demons are gone. Yay.

The second half is much less a memoir and more of a gender discourse dissection. This would be a more fascinating read if it weren’t for the flippant citations used to discredit transitioning in general. While the citations for much of the first half discuss very real conclusions on mental health and youth issues (PTSD, Body Dysmorphia, Child abuse, general teen puberty information), the latter half is rife with citations leading to far-right or heavily conservative sources (including but not limited to: Turning Point USA, Conservative Ladies of Washington, Standing for Freedom, Gays Against Groomers, Catholic News Agency, the list goes on)…The few actual studies cited have embarrassingly small sample sizes, have the parents of participants speak for the subjects, or have the qualifications for who participated in the studies be too broad to be significant. At the same time it paints trans people or those who advocate for transitioning as ‘predatory’ and ‘manipulative’. Despite preaching over and over to “be kind” and “show empathy” towards trans people, Oli doesn’t hesitate to sling mud at any prominent transgender figure.

All in all, absolute garbage. I’d rate it 2 stars if the editing was at least passable. Embarrassingly unaware and very obviously is a quick cash grab over the current climate on gender issues. Freud is doing cartwheels in his grave as we speak. I genuinely hope for Oli’s sake he unplug the computer and go to a retreat to talk seriously with mental health care professionals before he parades around further with this visibly unchecked ego.

I was curious about this book and honestly hoped to hate it. The first chapters seemed full of redundancy, but I read on. Mr. London, I would like to thank you for writing this book, especially Part 2. Your book is well worth a read, and I appreciate your factual documented information. It is my hope that You and many others continue your fight against what is happening to our children right now. This country and others need your voices more than ever before. As the grandmother of eleven children, I was curious about what you had to say. Now that I've read your book, I feel more enlightened and will recommend the read. Stand Firm.

"In the UK, where I am from, it was much rarer for a teen to undergo gender reassignment surgery or be prescribed puberty blockers and hormones. However, there was one notorious and infamous UK clinic, the Tavistock Clinic, that became synonymous with shocking stories of teens being heavily medicated and kept inside for long periods of time to “help” them transition, and horror stories of teens expressing their regret at ever going there. The clinic was ordered to shut down in 2022 after multiple lawsuits and investigations. Over the years, thousands of vulnerable teens passed through the clinic’s doors, with their mental health disregarded and ignored. Instead these vulnerable teens, in desperate search for answers to their internal struggles, were pushed onto medications, questionable medical practices, and a lack of duty of care on the part of the so-called “medical professionals.” The charges against the clinic for its reckless handling of its patients included a failure to collect any data on the use of puberty blockers in patients under sixteen, no follow-up or checkups on patients to see the results of the puberty blockers, doctors completely ignoring the correlation of children with autism and gender dysphoria, and actively prescribing autistic and vulnerable children puberty blockers without consideration for their extreme vulnerability. Doctors willingly provided gender-affirming care to children suffering from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, children with severe depression, and children suffering from past traumas or sexual abuse and put them on hormones and puberty blockers with blatant disregard for the fact their gender dysphoria likely stemmed from these traumas or disorders. Sexual orientation and gender identity issues were blurred, with some children simply identifying as gay, lesbian, or bisexual being wrongly told they are the wrong gender and must transition. All disorders, all mental health issues, all traumas, and autism were treated under the assumption that they were related to the child’s gender identity. Transitioning was seen as the only solution, and thousands of innocent teens had their livelihoods stolen by the malpractice of the clinic’s staff."

"I know that if I had grown up in these times, I would have fallen victim much more quickly to gender ideology, given the fact I became trans in much later life. I know that I would have easily ticked the box for puberty blockers, hormones, and gender reassignment, and I would have been pushed through the gender-affirming care system and left to fend for myself and deal with the results for the rest of my life. I don’t live with regret with what I put myself through; I am just grateful I didn’t go the whole way or didn’t grow up in the modern-day school system, as I know I would have been left with severe health problems, extreme depression, and left in a vulnerable state where I could be exploited by the gender system. I had a lucky escape with what I went through and was able to wake up and realize before it was too late. While my face and body are covered with scars from surgeries, scars that will never fade, they are a daily reminder that I almost pushed myself too far, that I am lucky to still be here, and that I need to find inner peace with the real me. I have learned to live with no regrets and instead learn from these past experiences and use them to help make the world a better, safer place for future generations."

"In the last decade we have seen men who identify as women clawing away at women’s rights, taking away women’s voices, silencing any woman who dares question them, and taking away women’s spaces, their sports, and their rights to fair treatment. In sports, we are seeing biological males who identify as women competing against women, such as the case with University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who ranked 554th on the men’s team and achieved the number one rank while competing against women."

"Sports is just one area where women are losing their rights. Additionally, biological males who become trans are now using women’s locker rooms, restrooms, spas, and other spaces once designated for women only. Women are being marginalized, silenced, and made to fear speaking out and standing up for their rights. We are also seeing women being erased from dictionaries, changing the definitions of a woman to “anyone that identifies as female,” and we are even seeing organizations like the United Nations Women’s campaign, Amnesty International, Human Rights Campaign, and numerous others attempting to redefine women and take away their fundamental rights to their own spaces and their own protected rights."

This book takes you through Olis path to gender identity. In his youth he was bullied, and always told he was not manly enough. He felt the pressure to be “perfect” and an felt the need to change how he looked- he saw how perfect pop icons looked and thought hey I want to be accepted and be what society says I need to be so he got surgery’s to become a different race and person.

After seeing that he still was not happy and thought perhaps I am a woman because that what people told me. He transitioned into a women and was about to get he needed reassignment surgery. Prior to the surgery he found God and realized he was on the wrong path.

He now knows it’s important to accept who you are and he’s happy he was an adult when he went through because he was able to save himself from making a mistake. He brings to light the harm in social media and the indoctrination of kids in schools with gender ideology. These are not things that children need to learn about in schools and are not old enough to make these decisions. They see the out pouring of support and attention other see and want that for themselves. He sates that now the people who transition while they are kids and are now transitioning are slaves to big pharma.

This is a book that is educational about the harm that puberty blockers and surgeries can have on a child. I did feel that he repeated several points way to often. He outlines the harm that mainstream media, politicians and schools are harming our younger generations- they are taking away rights of the parents and not teaching what they should in schools. Gender ideology has no place in the schools.

He brings a good point that kids can’t drive til they are 16 and drink until they are 21 so HOW can a child consent to changing their gender?

It is clear that I am not the intended audience for Oli London's book, given our conflicting views. However, I believe it is still important to try and understand different perspectives.

Through the book, we can see how Christianity influenced him, which also heavily influenced his style of writing. How thought his life went from volunteering in Etiopie to k pop singer to now Christian men. When I asked someone who had read the book, they weren't sure if it was a joke or not. After finishing it, I can see why they wondered because the author tries to attempt to connect things and situations, which are not associated with the trans community, and the writing style is at times confusing as if it is meant to be a parody.

I am pretty sure that this book will reach an intended audience that will enjoy far more that me.

I have read the book.
The irony that this person 'now' wants to 'protect your children' is just downright creepy. The beginning sob story might make you think its intentions are good but upon closer inspection... check out this person's Twitter account! It's more a political rant on the latest and (un)greatest far right talking points. Therein, lies the irony.

There are much better written books on the subject that are not nearly as polarizing as this drivel.

[Fig · Rating 2 out of 5]

Y’all… I wanted deeply to like this book. It’s a headache and a half to attempt and I’m just not willing to push past page 119. I’m surprised I trudged that far. As a detransitioner, my motivation came solely from wanting to read about shared experiences.

It’s in desperate need of an editor. I found myself rereading pages just to make sure I actually remembered reading repeated phrases moments before—this happens nigh on constantly, along with a frequent use of too many clauses. This books could easily be condensed by half and still feel too verbose.

I didn’t know who Oli was prior to being gifted this book. He has a fascinating trajectory and I’ve discovered he’s not nearly as stable as he may like to suggest in these pages—such an interesting case study and I wish him peace and the ability to rest in his beingness, rather than hop from cult to cult. Some meditation and mindfulness would go a long way.

[Note: This review was first published on my Substack blog/newsletter, God.Sex.Politics., online at: https://godsexpolitics.substack.com/. Subscriptions are free!)

I must confess that I was somewhat surprised when I saw Oli London’s memoir Gender Madness on display in the new books section of a public library in liberal Montgomery County, Maryland. (This is the same library which recently faced controversy over an event at which, initially, white exhibitors were illegally charged a higher rate than minorities.) I figured I’d better check it out and read it before transgender activists had it removed from the shelves.

London’s book falls into a genre which one can only hope will grow in influence in the months and years to come—what might be called a “detransition memoir.” That is, Oli London is a biological male (from Britain) who eventually transitioned to identifying as a woman. However, after less than a year, he found God in a Catholic church and “detransitioned,” reclaiming his natural male identity. As the subtitle indicates, he is now entering the culture war against transgender ideology and trying to protect children from making the same errors that he did.

I had never heard of Oli London before laying eyes on this book—which shows you that I am out of touch with the worlds of K-Pop music and the newfound profession of “social media influencer.” Those were the realms in which Oli (Oliver) London achieved some modest fame.

London tells the story of his childhood—which included an abusive father, bullying by peers, and a greater attraction to feminine than to masculine activities. Such a background is extremely common among men who identify as gay or transgender, yet they rarely receive the kind of psychological help they need to cope with such trauma.

Instead of seeking counseling or therapy, London became convinced that physically altering his appearance was the key to future happiness. One thing surprising about the book, given its title, is that through most of it London struggles not with “gender dysphoria” but with “body dysmorphia”—a type of dissatisfaction with his appearance that was not specifically gender-related. After spending time in South Korea, where plastic surgery is celebrated, London began a nine-year journey during which he had 32 separate surgical procedures done to alter his appearance. (One thing that would have improved the book is a photo section, or at least one photo of London pre-surgery. Some such pictures are available online, but the book is completely unillustrated except for two head shots on the book jacket).

Only toward the end of this period did London conclude—under the influence of social media—that maybe the reason boys had teased him about looking and acting like a girl in childhood was because he was supposed to be a girl. However, London lived as transgender “woman” for less than a year before he met God and decided to detransition—fortunately, before undergoing gender reassignment surgery.

One of the things most striking to me about London’s account is his utter naivete in continually believing that one more surgery would solve all his problems. London describes it this way in the book’s introduction:

I tried to conceal my unhappiness by creating a faux façade, a man-made mask, courtesy of plastic surgeons, to try and veil my own insecurities, to hide my struggles and disguise the traumas that had been purposely repressed inside of me. I created a persona to match my new look and identity, but it was not enough—it was never, ever enough.

London was an adult before he made any of the changes he describes in the book. His experience shows how ludicrous it is for pro-trans activists to argue that, even coming from small children, claims of a new gender identity should be taken at face value, because “kids know who they are.”
After telling his personal story in the first 190 pages of the book, London devotes Part 2 (120 pages) to making the case against transgender ideology, and to argue for protecting children from it. This writing doesn’t rise to the level of Ryan Anderson (When Harry Became Sally) or Abigail Shrier (Irreversible Damage), but London has educated himself on the issues and research in a remarkably short time.

In fact, London’s entire transition and detransition seem to have taken place within the last two years. I would urge my Christian friends to pray that London has put his unstable past behind him, and that he will be able to stand firm by his faith and his manhood from now on.

If you say you are trans and you're pronouns are Ji/min whilst simultaneously being transracial (which is fucking racist and stupid in my opinion) you are just looking for attention. Now you are racist AND transphobic. Congrats on this new accomplishment. The fact that this man gets praised for 'protecting children' makes me worried about the sanity of people.

This book is just so bad i just can’t believe that there is a character in this book lying about dead children!! Saying that dead kids are dolls? An infant is a doll? Dehumanizing babies?? why did the author describe this character as a hero fighting to protect children while his inner monologue is so racist. Ironic isn’t it? I hated this character so much. And I can’t believe he hates watermelon. Who hates watermelon??
