Truth About Trans
New Book Explores the Personal and Family Impact the Current Craze is Causing
Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans, one of the more important organizations focusing on how the current trans-mania is harming children and their families, has compiled an anthology of personal stories on the issue that parents of teens today should read.
The book, sub-titled “Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save our Kids,” shares deeply personal stories about transition and desistance that won’t be told at the gender clinic and offer practical advice based on hard-earned experience that won’t be found on mainstream media—all with the express aim of protecting children from harm by empowering and encouraging other parents and individuals to combat gender ideology at home, in schools, in clinics, and beyond.
More specifically, the book features the stories of people like Sage and her grandmother. From PITT’s Substack -
- here is an excerpt of “The Saga of Sage” –
I am the grandmother of a 15 year old girl, Sage Lily.
I adopted Sage when she was just shy of 2 years old. Sage and I live in Virginia with my husband.
Sage started going through gender confusion in 8th grade. To that point she was a straight A student who enjoyed playing piano and writing poetry. At her small school, as Sage informed me, all the girls were either bi, trans, or lesbian. At some point social influence overcame her. She advised her friends and teachers that she wanted to be trans and that Sage would no longer be her name—she requested to be called “Draco” and referred to as a boy. The school obliged since Virginia, by law, requires that students be affirmed by the school staff. Unfortunately, the school did not tell me, her legal mother, about any of this—I was left in the dark. I wish I had known.
If I had known, this would have been a much different story.
The proceeds of the book will go to Genspect, an international organization dedicated to evidence-based discussions of and policies pertaining to the trans issue, specifically when it involves teens.
From Genspect’s website - https://genspect.org/ :
We want to see schools, colleges and higher education establishments hold neutral space for students as they explore their gender, sexual orientation and identity formation. We value supportive environments for students, so they feel neither encouraged nor discouraged to follow certain paths.
We advocate for an evidence-based approach to gender distress, and we would like health care professionals to take the time and care to evaluate the low-evidence base for the current affirmative approach, looking more closely at the harms that medical treatment paths can cause. We recognize the high occurrence of comorbidites such as autism and ADHD among children and young people who are questioning their gender.
We would like to raise public awareness of the issues facing gender-questioning children and young people. We wish to help create a society that supports gender non-conformity — one which doesn’t require the heavy burden of medical treatment. We acknowledge that gay, lesbian and bisexual youth are often gender non-conforming; rather than suppressing hormonal urges with medication, we support an approach that allows adolescents to explore their sexuality with freedom and acceptance.
Finally, in this fast-paced world, we advocate for a slower, more thoughtful approach to any difficulties that children and young people face.
