Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids Paperback – August 14, 2023

This is a compilation of small sampling of the experiences reported by parents on the PITT substack. The stories are published to help other families who are struggling to find support and answers. This book also raises money to provide mental and physical assistance to detransitioners, because insurance doesn't help them, nor the medical industry. These are fist-hand truths of the harrowing experiences that so many families are walking through.

This book is a collection of moving testimonies from parents as they recount stories of losing their daughter or son to transgender ideology and medicalization. There were a few hopeful stories, but not many. The sad situation is that the tales are eerily similar and this trend is harmful to both kids and their families. Totally heartbreaking. Readers will learn from these parents about the issues of social contagion, and how schools, therapists, and many doctors usurp parental authority and wisdom. It is best to read this book before you are deep in confusion and despair. Get educated now! One thing is clear after reading this book, these parents loved their kids deeply. Sadly, there are a magnitude of factors that undermine a parent's concern and love. It is a difficult battle. I learned a lot from these parents.

It's time to listen to the parents on this issue, as many of those pushing for medical interventions have not been paying attention to the high risks, undemonstrated benefits and alternatives such as mental health support. Evidence base investigations have led many countries other than the US to change policies, to prioritize psychotherapy in order to protect these vulnerable young people. These parents show how their children's distress is summarily mistreated by doctors, therapists, schools and other trusted adults, who ignorantly and arrogantly encourage a medically drastic intervention, blind to what the child's situation is and in a way that demonizes and disempowers the parents if they don't agree on the spot.

If you want to read about how devastating Gender Ideology is for families, this is for you.

Finally, a collection of essays that truly show the dark underside of the "trans" trend. You couldn't have put a book like this out 2 years ago because it would have been "cancelled" out of existence, but now people are opening their eyes and realizing there is nothing "transphobic" about protecting vulnerable young people. My heart goes out to all the families who have endured this nightmare while most of American society cheered from the sidelines and applauded these kids down a path that I sadly believe will lead most of them to more misery.

If you want more information on Genspect and it’s founders/members, please read my review on “When Kids Say They’re Trans”I mention this as the book is lapping the boots of both it’s founders and other orgs, right from the beginning as it claims all money earned will be ‘donated’ to Genspect. To TLDR it: Genspect’s founders have formed several orgs all under the same premise of discouraging and legislating against any and ALL forms of transitioning, including adults. It’s also founded on scrutinized surveys and studies that have been argued on its methodologies. Genspect and its sister orgs are in no way recognized by medical or scientific boards.The book is a compilation of parents ranging from misguided from reading Genspect’s highlights to parents actively and openly disgusted by the possibility of their kid being trans. So many of the stories are “me me me” and often do very little to explore their kid’s thoughts and feelings, or even take into consideration that isolating their kid completely or reacting in harshly negative ways may…I don’t know…deter one from being more open about their gender troubles?While I don’t doubt these stories happened, or even that some of the teens/adults mentioned truly desisted, it’s almost entirely too reliant on Genspect’s reasonings and methods of detransitioning. Not to mention the ABSURD amount of mentions of xxx without talking about how they found that out in their kid or why the reasoning boils down to it.One of the stories’ reasons for why “trans people are grooming your kid online to become trans” is because they found xxx subreddits. Oh, were these in the search history? NO, THEY JUST HAD ‘TRANS’ IN THE SUB NAME. AND THEN LINKED DIRECTLY TO THE SUB. Yeah, because being sexualized or having an identity be a xxx category makes everybody under that label a xxx-crazed maniac…okay…For the sake of both the parents and teens/adults, I hope Genspect disbands and lets these families reconcile if there’s still anything left to salvage.Stella O’Malley being a part of this and SEVERAL other books published recently about trans people and families, and how each one makes transitioning a devastation on all accounts that must be corrected is infuriating to say the least. To frame again and again that trans people are diseased and when come into context your child will be “infected”…that families are right to isolate and alienate their kids…that the possibility of having an actually trans kid growing into a trans adult isn’t even in the realm of possibility…that in no way can a person just be trans and be an alright person…Cold. It’s cold.Irreversible damage indeed.

An astounding book that upends the narrative that a child could be 'born in the wrong body'. It's clear from reading these stories that there is a lot more going on with these kids; trauma, social contagion, homophobia, misogyny, and they have lasered in on 'trans' as a solution to everything. What these families have been through is horrific. Experienced professionals have gaslighted them into believing their kids will commit suicide if they don't medicalise them. This is the medical, child safeguarding and homophobic scandal of our time.

In the current controversies and disagreements around adolescent gender identities, it feels like the emotional roller coaster that parents go through is often overlooked. Tales from the Home Front changes that and puts parents front and center. If you have a friend or loved one going through a difficult time with their trans teen or young adult, this book will help you gain empathy and a new understanding of the incredible challenges they face. Highly recommend.

These are a collection of parents' stories of their decending into the darkest places on earth. Many of them are difficult to hear, some parents are still in hell, others are determined to fight and many are finding ways to heal. Each of them has story that describes how society has let them down, and worse, damaged their child.Thank you for sharing these deeply personal experinces, I wish you all the best.

These desperately sad experiences told by parents of children who think they are trans need to be heard. Not all children and young people who say they want to transition turn out to be trans. Increasing numbers are coming to regret the largely irreversible medical treatments they have undergone. It's not 'transphobic' to acknowledge this. The more that can be done to ensure that other children aren't subjected to unncessary medicalisation the better, and hopefully this book will help with that. Trans children deserve good medical care, but so do those who turn out not to be trans.

Very well written stories ,some of them truly heartbreaking.I enjoyed reading it.

This is a shocking and important book that shows the harm gender ideology is doing to families from across the political spectrum. Parents are not the enemies but important voices and critical figures in the children's lives. Listen to them. Read them. Share them.
