I am NOT endorsing this book, because I haven't read it and know nothing about the author nor the publisher.

Solely going by the description on the publisher's website, I'm hoping that this book is well-researched and well-written and will help people become aware that the gender ideology movement is not the organic, grass-roots, "I just wanna pee" movement it's been sold as and is, rather, a very organized, and supremely well-funded, deconstruction of biological sex and, as a result, the rights of gay men and women.

    You're right. Sigh.

    However, I've found that a lot of our conservative "allies" do tend to blame feminism and gays for being the precursors of gender ideology, and I feel that to some extent they're right.

    Let me explain: I participated in 2nd Wave US feminism and back then the more extreme feminists were about proving that women were the same as men. So that kind of has led to the idea that men can be women.

    And the TQ+ have taken over the LGB movement, hijacking the money, the political machines, the organizational structures of former gay rights lobbies, and so now in the public mind, gays are responsible for TQ+ demands. So the author is right about that too - that the fight for gay rights has led to TQ+ extraordinary and rapid rise (but simply because TQ+ USED gays)

    So, yes, this book will probably do damage to feminism and gay rights, and yes, LGB should have fought to drop the TQ+ a very long time ago, but I still hold out hope that the author has exposed some of the machinations behind Trans, Inc. and that expose will reach the public.

    And honestly, Abigail Shrier's book, IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE - the only book to really make a public stir about transitioning kids, was also published by conservative press, probably because other publishers wouldn't touch it being that they must be WOKE and all. Shrier is not a liberal, but she is a very valuable ally in some aspects of this struggle.

    So whenever anyone complains about feminists especially allying with the right wing, it's because they have to, in the US at least. US Progressives are the ones who have happily sold feminists and gays down the river.

    Now, one of us needs to write this type of book from a feminist and/or gay perspective and do it fast.
