This essay is based on the audiobook "It's Not Transphobic to Say Your Daughter Is A Girl: The Wise Lesbian Guide for Progressives," by Amber Alt, newly available on Audible.com
I've noticed a large uptick in the number of young women trying to become gay men. And then they scream at the gay men who will not have sex with them saying they are transphobic, hateful bigots, and genital fetishists. This is extremely hard to take when you grew up liberal and always considered yourself enlightened. I wish doctors would tell these young women that they are going to lose a lot of sexual partners by transitioning, and that's going to lead to them becoming bitter and angry all the time.
One of the problems is the absence of solid conversation/education about sexuality in the discussions of child/adolescent transition. Many physicians are more comfortable moving a pediatric patient forward in the medicalization process than they are discussing with the parents and child the impact of medicalization on sexual functioning, let alone how sexual orientation figures into the patient's development and decisions about medicalization.
succinct, very well written firsthand account of the financial interests behind the ideological capture of medical institutions; for more info on this see the work of Jennifer Bilek and the 11th Hour blog; is there a print version of the audiobook?
it's out of print according to the amazon website...I've listened to the audiobook which is a superb short overview of gender ideology and I'd love to get hold of a print copy
I have it on good authority that a print/digital version will be available soon, after the author "fixes the damned typo's" ;-). She expresses her gratitude for the positive feedback. Email: amberaltwrites@protonmail.me for updates.
Sorry. They must have sold out all copies since the 9th. The paperback book had a 2022 publication date. Maybe they'll print more? I'm surprised this is not a print-on-demand book.
