The book features personal accounts \u200bof seven individuals who were persuaded to undergo\u200c transitioning \u2062procedures but later \u2064regretted their decisions.

They also discuss\u2063 the\u200b role of mental health issues and coercion \u2063from medical professionals in pushing individuals towards \u200ctransitioning.

(The book is also based in part on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=910JVOJSM2I\">a documentary by the same name<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Lahl and Fell describe the cult-like ideology and highly stereotyped \u201cgender\u201d expectations within the movement, the healthy bodies induced into a diseased state with wrong-sex hormones and unnecessary surgeries, the \u201cabysmal\u201d quality of studies affirming the health and safety of \u201ctransition treatment,\u201d and the money to be made. They note the connection between mental health and comorbidities with people choosing to \u201ctransition,\u201d and the constant, coercive affirmation from doctors and therapists, especially those specializing in wrongly termed \u201cgender care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The five women and two men who share firsthand the deception, coercion, and aggressive retaliation targeting detractors within the movement are just a sampling of those who have suffered under the guise of transgender interventions.<\/p>\n<p>Helena\u2019s self-harming, eating disorder, and depression as a young teen led her to online groups encouraging transitioning as the \u201csolution\u201d to almost all mental health struggles. Her school guidance counselor and psychologist encouraged a transgender transition rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-accused-of-killing-purdue-university-dormitory-roommate-found-fit-for-trial-after-hospital-stay\/\" title=\"Man accused of Purdue University roommate&#039;s murder deemed fit for trial after hospitalization.\">addressing mental health concerns<\/a>, and her testosterone dose (handed out with minimal instructions at a Planned Parenthood) induced psychosis and multiple hospitalizations.<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s \u201cpreoccupation and discomfort\u201d with her body, coupled with social justice activism and online encouragement, led her to testosterone injections and an elective double mastectomy at age 23 \u2014 a decision she ultimately regretted and realized was just a further expression of self-harm.<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s extreme struggles with his sexuality during puberty, pornography addiction, broken family relationships, and a mental health professional who encouraged him to transition to deal with his anxiety pushed him into cross-sex hormones as a young adult.<\/p>\n<p>Cat was physically bullied and sexually advanced upon as a young child. Her growth disorder contributed to awkward differences with her peers, and her experiences of gender dysphoria, disordered eating, and alcohol and drug addiction were fueled by websites encouraging transition. She lost her performance singing voice following testosterone injections and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/censured-trans-lawmaker-sends-ominous-warning-to-target-after-it-pulls-lgbt-merch-from-shelves\/\" title=\"Trans lawmaker warns target after pulling LGBT merch.\">attempted suicide multiple times<\/a> but was treated primarily with \u201ctransition care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chloe, who was diagnosed with autism and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-kids-are-struggling-to-focus-during-online-school-now-theyre-being-diagnosed-with-adhd-this-is-cruel\/\" title=\"WALSH: Kids Are Struggling To Focus During Online School.

Soon after turning 13, she was coerced by professionals into taking puberty blockers and testosterone injections and was given a breast binder that permanently deformed her ribs. She underwent a double mastectomy at age 15 with no requirement for a psychological evaluation, and since detransitioning at 16, she has been harassed, bullied, and threatened.<\/p>\n<p>Torren\u2019s obsessive and compulsive struggles over his sex in his twenties led to his eventual false identification as a woman while on estrogen, a step that brought about \u201cmore shame, frustration, and alienation than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Rachel, whose mental and emotional instability as a young adult, compounded by a childhood steeped in sexual abuse, was diagnosed with an eating disorder and schizophrenia before a so-called gender therapist signed off on her \u201csound\u201d mental health and encouraged her to engage in wrong-sex hormones. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrans mania\u201d has reached an unprecedented level of cultural following in the U.S., increasingly targeting minors and gaining a radical, political following to include the presidential office. The result is both acute and chronic, impermanent and long-term harm to numerous American men, women, and children.<\/p>\n<p>The authors argue this models a pattern of gruesome ideologically driven medical exports developed by the U.S. in the last century. From the celebrated eugenics movement in the early 1900s to the 40-year Tuskegee experiment commencing in 1932, to the popularization of lobotomies (first developed by a Portuguese neurologist but embraced and performed en masse in the U.S.) and forced sterilizations first legalized in 1922, American medicine has repeatedly created niche markets that fail to meet the ethical standard to first \u201cdo no harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Nuremberg trials and subsequent Code synthesized the parameters scientists and health care professionals must work within to adhere to basic ethical standards. \u201cExperimentation on humans must do no harm and not produce unnecessary physical or mental suffering or disabling injury,\u201d the authors write. \u201cThere must be direct benefit to the person that outweighs any risk of harm or injury, and there must be informed consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The violations of these principles are marked and evident in the failed surgeries, infections, experimental nature, and subsequent suffering and detransitioning of patients out of the transgender \u201ctransition\u201d market. They are particularly and painfully evident in the personal accounts of Helena, Grace, Nick, Cat, Chloe, Torren, and Rachel.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman, the transgender movement \u201ccame from disturbed individuals with dangerous ideas, radical activists who wanted to create a society that would not only accept their pathology, but celebrate it. These men (John Money and Kinsey, early proponents) were pedophiles,\u201d Lahl and Fell write.<\/p>\n<p>But cracks in the narrative are beginning to break through, Lahl and Fell write, and the responsibility remains for each individual to stand up and speak out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRaising awareness was the first step to common recognition of Nazi medicine\u2019s human rights violations, the abusive Tuskegee experiment in Alabama, the harm done by lobotomy, and the brutality of mass involuntary sterilizations \u2014 all atrocities committed at the hands of physicians, who are charged with healing, not harming, their patients,\u201d they conclude. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Ashley Bateman is a policy writer for The Heartland Institute and blogger for Ascension Press.
