Saturday my copy arrived of Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrists Guide Out of the Madness. I pre-ordered in May because it wasn’t yet available. Now it is!
Dr. Miriam Grossman has practiced child and adolescent psychiatry for forty years. In 2009, she authored You’re Teaching My Child WHAT? which dug deeply into the content and intent of the then current curricula of sex education. While doing research for that book, she discovered alarming statements about gender identity, and so her final chapter of that book was a forewarning of the coming chaos.
Note this quote from the 2009 book:
Parents, fasten your seatbelts. If what you’ve learned so far about sex education horrifies you, and you believe it can’t get any worse, I caution you: it can and it does. . . . Welcome to Genderland, where the madness of sex education reaches a peak, and everything you know is turned on its head.
That was 2009, before cell phones began to dominate the gaze of teens.
Lost in Trans Nation now delves into the history behind the development of gender ideology, who is behind it, how it forced its way into the psychiatric and medical hierarchy, how it is promoted, and the stunning and horrific results for children.
The fifty-five page appendix is probably worth the cost of the book. There she provides invaluable tools as well as the results of surveys she conducted with parents from around the world. The appendix lists key scientific papers which provide a cognitive North Star as well as advice on dealing with schools, dealing with Child Protective Services, finding a therapist, monitoring internet usage, and countering gender ideology in general.
Dr. Jordan Peterson, whom some hail as a “cultural messiah,” writes an incredibly insightful foreward for this book. There he also gives alarming insights into what is going on in Western culture, particularly in Canada and the States. I’ll share some of his thoughts in the future. But I wanted to alert you to the availability of this very important work.
Once I start reading this, I can’t put it down. The research is thorough without dragging one into the weeds. The advice is practical, buttressed by examples from her own personal practice.
As I wade through the historical background and the strategy presented for distraught parents, I will share additional insights. But I strongly encourage you to get your own copy as soon as possible.
For pastors and counselors surfing the Sexual Tsunami, this is essential rescue equipment.
I find balance seems to be the best path forward. That's probably the case with almost all issues. When we get too far on either extreme, we cause harm.
So Mark, is there help for me if I wince at Jordan Peterson writing the foreward.
