Being the parent of a gender-questioning child is confusing. There have been many books for parents who are facilitating a child's gender transition, but almost none for parents who decide that social or medical transition is not the best option for their child. Written by three professionals working in the field - Sasha Ayad, Lisa Marchiano and Stella O'Malley - When Kids Say They're Trans is explicitly a resource for parents who want their children to flourish, but do not believe that hasty medicalisation is the best way to ensure long-term health and well-being.

In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction—for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), based at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in North London, was set up initially to provide - for the most part - talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity. But in the last decade GIDS has referred more than a thousand children, some as young as nine years old, for medication to block their puberty. In the same period, the number of referrals has exploded, increasing thirty-fold, while the profile of the patients has changed, from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls.

Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Story5 out of 5 stars 26
One day, I was at a restaurant with my wife, and as we were finishing up our meal, our server handed us a survey form. Realizing neither of us had a pen, my wife told me to ask the server if we could borrow one to fill out the form. Instead of doing this, I walked to the parking lot, retrieved a pen from our car, and walked back to our table. It would’ve been easier to just borrow a pen, but I opted for the route that involved less social interaction. I did this automatically, without even thinking.

Both thorough and crisp, Natasha Rae Simmons tries her best to explain what social anxiety is, how avoidance and other safety behaviors only serve to aggravate its symptoms, and how teenagers can learn to cope with it, and eventually overcome this disorder. Even as she talks about the typical and more taboo aspects of social anxiety in this book, Natasha never blames or shames a teen for being socially anxious.

If you think sex education is still about the birds and the bees, think again. And it's not about science either. In her shocking exposé, You're Teaching My Child What?, Dr. Miriam Grossman rips back the curtain on sex education today, exposing a sordid truth. Today's sex ed programs aren't based on science; they're based on liberal lies and politically correct propaganda that promote the illusion that children (yes, children) can be sexually free without risk.

Publisher's summary
This audiobook explores the reasons why so many people feel more anxious, overwhelmed and stressed than ever.
With a particular interest in the rising levels of anxiety, Stella O'Malley demonstrates how our increasingly perfectionist and materialistic lifestyles have created a society which is shallow and toxic, high on expectation and low on satisfaction.
The second part of the audiobook focuses on tapping in to our inner strength so that we can learn to stop giving our power away. With simple thinking tools, this audiobook aims to empower listeners to face any mental health challenges which come their way.

Intellectual, Authentic, and Caring
A great read (listen) for everyone. A brisk but compassionate walk through issues over anxiety - both as over diagnosed and fostered and as practical reflections and methods for overcoming anxiety. The young generation might lean on this work for years to come, as we all reconcile with post-pandemic life. The narrator does a lovely job, though I miss the usual tone of the author, as she routinely speaks with a smile and humility that is endearing and authentic. Overall grateful for this book. Thank you Stella O’Malley for stepping up!!
