Length: 13 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

A medical scandal is currently unfolding across Western liberal societies. As Parents with Inconvenient Truths About Trans reveals, 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 deep 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 that won't be told at the gender clinic. They also offer practical advice based on hard-earned experience that won't be found in mainstream media.

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.

Horrific & Unedited Narration

How did this book ever pass Audible’s quality standards for narration?? In the opening chapter, it’s clearly not even edited since the narrator speaks, makes a mistake in narration, LETS OUT AN AUDIBLE GROWL OF FRUSTRATION, and then goes back to re-read the material. This happens MULTIPLE TIMES! Flabbergasted. The rest of the book is no better, with the narrator constantly mis-pronouncing words, stuttering, skipping words entirely, failing to space edits out at a natural pace... and often shows up with a trembling uncertain voice. I cannot emphasize the gravity of these mispronounciations.... it's as if this person has only a rudimentary grasp of the english language, the butchery completely inexcusable for what is ostensibly a professional narrator. And it wasn't just once or twice, at some points I was aghast to see that this happened almost every sentence. "Endocrinologist" became "indoctrinologist," "pediatrician" becomes "pedotrician," TF??

Needless to say, this completely took away from the material.

Other than that, the book itself is a bit of an editor’s nightmare, it badly needed more editing and it was never clear who was speaking or writing…. A lot of it was really repetitive as a result.

I appreciated a couple of the accounts that went into deep honesty about the darkest side of their experience, however due to this narrator sounding whiny and over the top melodramatic, it was difficult to feel the depth of these people’s words.

Overall, there are definitely better books on this material out there- I just wish the writers got better editing advice so they could more effectively communicate their message.

Excellent Book and Topic RUINED by Narrator

Unfortunately, right from the outset, this Narrator did not edit out her unnecessary exclamations when she made errors in reading. Furthermore, her difficulty in pronunciation of only mildly technical terms indicates she has a standardized reading comprehension equal to grade six.

I am 2 1/2 hours in to this title, and some pronunciation errors are so intellectually embarrassing that I cannot even gift this audiobook title to the people who really need to hear it - school teachers, principals, and board trustees. This is very detracting from the excellence of the honest and down-to-earth writing and testimonials.

I recommend the authors of this title take this audiobook down, and engage a more adequate reader immediately.

To potential purchasers: Just buy the hard copy or Kindle version and save yourself the aggravation.

These stories must be heard.

The performance of this book is below average, however, Miriam Grossman could not find a single person willing to narrate her book, Lost in Trans Nation (an excellent book) so she finally decided to do it herself. Perhaps the authors of this book had the same problem. Putting that aside, the stories told in this book are heartbreaking and need to be heard. These parents and families have no one to turn to in their grief and pain because our modern society will not allow them to openly grieve. They are shamed and mocked, so they have turned to each other.
