I don't agree with everything Matt stands for, but I'm glad he took a stand against this issue. However, I don't exactly like some of the language he uses in this book because it can be divisive. I feel like he should have added a bit more compassion for those who are pro-trans. I'm sorry, but they're confused. They're lost, but they need compassion.

I have absolutely nothing against the trans community. I love them and I hope they see their true identity. But this ideology is getting out of control. It's even being taught in schools and parents aren't allowed to know about that.

If you are trans, or part of the LGBTQ community, just know that we are not against you, but against the ideology. It has caused so much confusion.

I'm praying that we would all be united despite our differences.

This book definitely made me think and was hard to read at times due to some of the more difficult subject matters. Matt Walsh sprinkles in these witty one-liners that frequently had me chuckling.

I had seen the documentary a few months ago on The Daily Wire. It was well done. Frightening and informative.

Walsh asks simple questions. There wasn't debate, he just asked questions and then the people he interviewed spoke for themselves. They demonstrate themselves with their own words how they don't make sense.

There were parts of the documentary not mentioned in the book and that is because it is best left for that format. What the book does do is go more in-depth about the history. Walsh talks about the dark and sinister truth about Hirschfeld in Germany, Kinsey and Money.

What is also dark and sinister is why they are pushing these ideas on children. The hormones and the surgeries will keep them as customers for life. Keep that machine running because it brings in big profits for Big Pharma and the doctors.  And these mad scientist aren't honest about what these hormones and puberty blockers do. They aren't honest about the dangers and risks of infections from the surgeries.

These therapists and doctor should be in prison for lying to their patients and experimenting on them.
We're only starting to see the repercussions and I think it will be years before something is done about the abuse done to people who have transitioned.  But as long as people keep speaking the truth then the truth will win. 

5 out of 5 XX Chromosomes.

This is good overview of gender identity theory and politics. I will say that while the author does attempt to avoid showing his bias, it is definitely apparent in his conclusions throughout the book. So go into the book knowing that. That being said, I felt it was well written and had some good points.
