Understanding Gender Dysphoria

Navigating Transgender Issues in a Changing Culture

De: Mark A. Yarhouse

Narrado por: Sebastian Crook

Few topics are more contested today than gender identity. In the fog of the culture war, complex issues like gender dysphoria are reduced to slogans and sound bites. And while the war rages over language, institutions, and political allegiances, transgender individuals are the ones who end up being the casualties. Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, challenges the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories.

In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse offers a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates the psychological and theological complexity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person. In the midst of a tense political climate, Yarhouse calls Christians to come alongside those on the margins and stand with them as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity. Understanding Gender Dysphoria is the book we need to navigate these stormy cultural waters.

Every Christian concerned with GD should read this.

Yarhouse writes a balanced perspective, admonishing cisgender Christians to approach this subject with compassion and a desire to build and maintain fellowship with sufferers of GD.

Thoughtful and respectful perspective

Good view of pastoral care for transgender individuals and their families as they explore gender dysphoria from a Christian world view

Slow as slow can be

Worst narration I have ever heard on audible. Content is repetitive and nothing new to add to the discussion. This is just a very slow statement of research easily accessible anywhere else without wasting a credit.
