Transphobic book my mother was reading?
I found a book called "Irreversible Damage. The Transgender Craze Seducing our daughters" By Abigail Shrier on my mothers nightstand a few minutes ago. I've been socially transitioned since I was in 7th grade. It's been years since then. I looked up what the book was about and it had a long statement about the increase in trans men in recent years especially with teens. Which I agree with. What rubs me the wrong way is it's not just a book looking at the cases and statistics of detransitioners. "A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path." Is one of the paragraphs on the back. I'm honestly gutted. I'm so tired of trying to be the thing I feel comfortable with currently and just being pushed down. It's like everyone is scoffing at me. I have extremely bad imposter syndrome, and I doubt if I'm truly trans and it doesn't help when your mother is pushing you to detransition. Even if I do detransition, who cares? I don't know what to do with her. Should I talk to her about it or is it better left untouched. I don't know if Is should keep the knowledge of this to myself or confront her. Does anyone have a counter reason why there's so many trans men now? I feel like I'm losing my sanity. 💀
