Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness

Product Information

Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives. Miriam Grossman MD is board certified in psychiatry and in the sub-specialty of child and adolescent psychiatry. Before gender ideology was on anyone’s radar, she warned parents about its falsehoods and dangers in her 2009 book about sexuality education, "You’re Teaching My Child WHAT?" Lost in Trans Nation arms parents with the ammunition to avoid, or, if necessary, fight what many families describe as the most difficult challenge of their lives. Parents will learn what to say and how—at home, at school, and if necessary, to police when they appear at the door. a b c "Heather McDonald, Esther Drill, and Rebecca Odes, authors: A chat about life as a "gURL."

DG:Thank you. Absolutely. Something else that I really loved about your book was your section on sex education. I thought you offered brilliant insights there. I know you wrote a separate book about sex education, where you talk about the way kids and young people are taught about sex and reproduction as if it’s a mechanistic, soulless experience, almost like the sexual play depicted in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. The book, Deal With It!, is marketed to mature teens and young women in their early 20s due to its frank discussions about sexuality; however, the authors stated that they believe there is no specific age for any girl learning sexual information. [7] Contents [ edit ] Format [ edit ] MG:My book is not only for parents dealing with this issue immediately in their own lives, but for people who want to prevent this. One key, which seems small, is to challenge the statement that sex is assigned at birth. Sex is established at conception, not “assigned at birth.” Children are permanently established as males or females many months before birth. I want kids to hear this from their parents before they are exposed to the “assignment” language elsewhere. I want them to recognize the idea of sex being assigned at birth as the bizarre, anti-scientific myth that it is. Parents need to understand that when they take their child to the pediatrician, and the pediatrician is going to turn to her professional organization for advice, she—or he—is just going to repeat what this organization is saying. Frontline doctors who aren’t engaged in research are meant to believe that this represents a medical consensus. The U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health, the admiral Dr. Rachel Levine, keeps saying there’s a medical consensus. There is not.The author of five books, Dr. Grossman's work has been translated into eleven languages. She has testified in Congress and lectured at the British House of Lords and the United Nations. Don’t be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it’s the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I’m not your son, I’m your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter’ threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared. That is a major medical organization. It claims it has 67,000 members. I want parents to understand that when they go to their pediatrician, doctors are busy and we don’t have time to do research on every subject that we are supposed to know about. So, we are taught throughout our training, that we trust our professional organizations. Makes sense, right? Yet here we are, my own profession of psychiatry and psychology, endorsing a bizarre belief system that punctures something at the core of our humanity. Are we male or female—what could be more core to identity? Yet we are telling young people it is normal to question that established fact, over and over again. Shade, Leslie Regan (July 19, 2004).

Well, I bring that up in the context of the mastectomies that are being done on girls who think that their breasts are just sex objects for guys, and who have never meaningfully encountered another point of view. They just have no concept of the magnificent biology of the breast, of nursing, and of the oxytocin bonding that occurs between mother and baby. This is one of my favorite subjects.

MG:They are shoving these confusing and insidious ideas down kids’ throats. They are promoting these ideas. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, they all drank the Kool‐Aid, and they are all telling kids that they could be born in the wrong body, and that it’s normal to have these feelings, and that it’s a variant of normal human expression to want your healthy body irreversibly damaged, your breasts to be removed.
