Every progressive parent of a girl on the path to medical gender transition must listen to this powerful book.
It's Not Transphobic to Say Your Daughter Is A Girl: The Wise Lesbian Guide for Progressives allows parents to see the current explosive growth in girls seeking "gender transition" through the lens of sociology, gay and lesbian history, and recent data on the long-term risk of childhood and adolescent medicalization in the pursuit of expressing trans identities.
Parents deeply uneasy with the idea of radical medical interventions as a solution to their daughters' deep psychological and social distress will find here affirmation of the wisdom of asking questions, thinking critically, and exploring a range of non-medicalizing ways to support their gender-non-conforming or gender distressed daughters.
The author, a sociologist and social worker, traces for listeners the origins of psychiatry's pathologizing of gender non-conformity, reading the practice of "diagnosing" children's violations of gender conventions as a means of "treating" nascent homosexuality. From this vantage point, contemporary trans medicine looks like the resumption of 20th Century efforts to use hormones and surgery to treat or eliminate homosexuality --- deeply homophobic, deeply sexist, and particularly devastating to the newest target market: children and adolescents.
As you listen to chapters on the homophobic history of the "treatment" of "men trapped in women's bodies," institutional ideological capture, the pseudoscience and legitimate science on cross-sex hormones and elective surgeries, and strategies for helping your daughter feel comfortable growing into adulthood in her female body, whether she is same-sex or opposite-sex attracted, you'll become increasingly convinced that it's not transphobic to say your daughter is a girl.
