Just that. I’ve come across over a dozen tra gender queer theory books, most of them aimed at a teenage audience, and am wondering if there’s any books which put forward a gender critical, lesbian and gay positive, science-based view point? A no-such thing as “born in the wrong body”, Magdalene kind of book? There’s so many brilliant women online discussing this, but all I’ve come across are the affirmation & hormones are best books.

There's Michele Moore and Heather Brunskell-Evans' new book:

Female Erasure is a brilliant book, written by lots of different contributors. It's huge tho!

"Female Erasure examines the harmful impact transgender ideology is having on the lives of women and children, exposing the current trend of gender identity politics as a continuation of female erasure and silencing.

This anthology comes at a time when gender identity politics and profits from an emerging medical transgenderism industry for children, teens, and adults inhibit our ability to have meaningful discussions about sex, gender, changing laws that have provided sex-based protections for women and girls, and the re-framing of language referring to females as a distinct biological class.

Standing strongly against gender stereotypes, female oppression, and the sexual violence prevalent in all levels of society, women’s voices celebrate their lives and examine their struggles through articles, essays, firsthand accounts, and verse. Lesbian feminists, political feminists, spiritual feminists, heterosexual-womanist women, mothers, scholars, attorneys, poets, medical and mental health professionals, educators, environmentalists, and detransitioning women all boldly vocalize their unique perspectives and universal experiences.

The contributors to Female Erasure know that their views are controversial, but they refuse to be silenced by critics, striving instead toward deep, meaningful discussion with readers about the biases of modern society and the future of women’s rights."

Those sound really good! I’d like to see something aimed at teens as the number of kids who I’m currently worrying about grows every year (mostly born girls who I’m pretty sure would have been lesbians 20 years ago but who are now being told are born-in-the-wrong-body boys).
