Unconditional: A Guide to Loving and Supporting Your LGBTQ Child by Telaina Eriksen
2.0
So this was just added to my local library's ebook collection
Split and mixed feelings because there was good but the bad is just SO bad.
I can't express how much I wish the LGBTQIA+ groups were split into the more rational tri split of LG / B / TQIA+, because all three groups end very different treatment. Which is semi addressed (sorta kinda not really)... and I just feel sad that the author conflates gay/lesbian so heavily with Trans. Because the two are worlds apart.
Then the whole message was then painted over with a big fat IDGAF brush to lean politically. Here I will be totally frank and rude to the author so sorry not sorry. It's disgusting that Americans have poured politics into what should be mental and physical health care, I agree with so much on LGB rights, almost everything and agree with almost nothing when it comes to Trans kids (Trans adults are adults thus can do whatever they want) I think Trans kids will be the next thalidomide, Prozac, scandal.
Even more accurate would be the sterilization acts of the 1930s up until the 1960s/1970s were people with an IQ under average or genetic abnormalities. Eugenics.
Anyway worth taking a look at the book but it's not the gospel I get the impression it was written to be. Much better parenting books could be referenced if your in search.
