Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: More Tales from the Homefront in the Fight to Save Our Kids

by Florence M. (Editor), Dina S. (editor), Josie A. (editor)

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.

Parents whose families have been directly affected by gender ideology and medicalization are speaking up in this book. These voices need to be heard. Yes, I found it difficult to read at times due to the grief expressed by so many, but nonetheless, I want to know. I think we are at a time where censorship of parental voices needs to stop, and this book is a good place to start if you don't know what is going on for families with kids who identify as trans.
Topics such a estrangement, schools and universities, social contagion, indoctrination, desistance, daily life and wisdom are some of the groupings of parental essays. I read the book slowly as it is often sad, but these parents deserve to be witnessed in their grief and struggle to deal with the many facets and ramifications of gender ideology and the medicalization of their children.
I hope others will read it and learn from these parents even if gender ideology has not come into their family. It may in the future, so it is best to get a jump on education.
This book is also a good one to gift those who are not seeing the inside view of the parent perspective.

This is another good collection of essays by parents about their experiences dealing with children captured by the transgender contagion. It's heartbreaking.

My one major criticism is that it needs editing. The essays are taken off PITT's web site, and some refer to items that were obviously on the site but are not in the book. Those references should be taken out, or the items referenced should be put it.

It could also use more editing of the grammar and spelling. I understand that the book is trying to be true to the voices of the parents, but correcting the grammar and spelling will not take away their voice, but will, rather, make it easier for us to read.
