In our country, horrific situations occur in clinics and surgery rooms of hospitals. Naturally healthy young people and teenagers undergo permanent deformations and sometimes sterilization. This youth declares that they are transgender, and parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors are required to agree with their self-diagnosis and spend days anticipating the most significant decision of their lives: to change their bodies to 'align' with their minds. Medical, educational, and governmental institutions advise supporting the 'gender journeys' of developing children, including medical interventions with weak evidence of long-term improvement. This would not be acceptable in any other medical area.
Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice is made up of young people who identify as transgender and their families. In "Lost in TransNation," she urges parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and to trust their own instincts. The beliefs that gender is a human invention and that a newborn's sex is 'assigned' arbitrarily are disconnected from reality and therefore dangerous, especially for children. The fundamental belief that biology can and should be overlooked is a denial of reality.
Dr. Grossman believes that parents know their children best and have the responsibility to express their doubts. Schools encourage students to live double lives. Parents who question their child's new identity may be reported to child protection services, which can lead to the destruction of the family. "Lost in TransNation" equips parents with the means to avoid or, if necessary, fight against challenges that many families describe as the most difficult times of their lives.
Parents will learn what to say and how - at home, at school, and if necessary, to authorities when they appear at the door. "Don't be caught off guard like so many parents I know," Grossman warns, "be proactive and informed." No child is born in the wrong body, assures Dr. Grossman, their bodies are fine; their emotional lives need healing. Whether you are facing this gender identity battle in your home now or want to prevent it, you need this book to guide you and your loved ones.
