Publisher's summary

Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor’s offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they’re transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, “align” them with their minds.

Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the “gender journeys” of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement.

This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call “crucial” and “life-saving” have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain.

Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in TransNation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives.

The beliefs that male and female are human inventions; that the sex of a newborn is arbitrarily “assigned”; and that as a result the child requires “affirmation” through medical interventions—these ideas are divorced from reality and therefore hazardous, especially to children. The core belief—that biology can and should be denied—is a repudiation of reality and a mockery of what hard science teaches about being male and female.

Dr. Grossman believes that parents know their child best; they especially know if they have a son or daughter. But currently in our country when it comes to gender identity, everyone knows better than mom and dad. Schools enable students to live double lives—Patrick at home, Patti at school. Activists tell kids their loving homes are “unsafe” when parents voice doubts about the child’s new identity. For refusing to see their son as their daughter, parents might be reported to protective services, a development that can lead to a family’s destruction.

Lost in TransNation arms parents with the ammunition to avoid, or, if necessary, fight what many families describe as the most difficult challenge of their lives. Parents will learn what to say and how—at home, at school, and if necessary, to police when they appear at the door.

“Don’t be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it’s the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I’m not your son, I’m your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter" threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared.

No child is born in the wrong body, Dr. Grossman reassures us, their bodies are just fine; it’s their emotional lives that need healing. Whether you’re facing a gender identity battle in your home right now, or want to prevent one, you need this book to guide you and your loved ones out of the madness.

Exactly what you need.

it's more terrifying than a Steven King, it's more informative then a history book. it's real, it's now.
this book is exactly what you need with sightings of source materials, real world experience, and a step by step walk through of difficult conversations.
Dr. Grossman isn't a voice actor, but this isn't entertainment, and who else but a Dr. can pronounce most of those terms?

Eye opening and informative

This book will have a lasting impact on me . I was unaware of how many professionals are pushing this ideology of gender affirmation. I feel more prepare to have a discussion on this matter now.

MUST READ

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or just curious about how we got here, this book is for you. I saw Dr. Grossman in the "What is a Woman" documentary, and she was just so clear, but I wanted to know more. She gives a complete history of the insanity, cases of children, and what parents can do if faced with this horrific situation. Well done, and NO, she is not transphobic.

A must read for anyone who has children

Very informative on a topic that will negatively effect a few generations. A social contagion that must be stopped

Excellent Listen

Dr. Grossman has put forth an excellent history of the origins of the Trans movement and how we got to the place we are today along with practical advice for parents and the rest of us. It not an easy book to listen to because many aspects are not only shocking but disheartening in what the medical establishment, today’s education system and some parents are doing to young people. It’s definitely not a road to happiness and is an active experiment with no thought to the damage, pain and burden these young people will be dealing with down the line and for the rest of their lives.

I want to add, the chapter on breast feeding is magnificent. The incredible miracle of all that happens for the child and mother when breast feeding begins. It’s also a huge shame on surgeons who cut the breasts off of young women who don’t understand the beauty of their own human female body. This chapter alone is worth purchasing the book.
