I read it in the summer of last year so my recollections are imperfect, but I was never struck by anything in the book being remotely homophobic, and a brief glance at the index tells me the book doesn't mention homosexuality at all.

I would even go so far as to say that he's more sympathetic in his treatment of transgenderism than we on this forum can be. He is painstakingly even-handed and measured in his analyses, and at times I found myself wishing he'd get a little more angry about stuff.

He has chapters looking at: activist arguments; detransitioners telling us their stories; biological definitions of 'man' and 'woman', and policy.

If you're not happy giving your money to him, that's your call, but it's definitely one of the best books on the 'transgender moment' on the market, and the Woke™ backlash against it is completely disproportionate (but that doesn't really tell us much!)

Genuinely, I didn't know he was into Jesus until after I read it and looked into who the Heritage Foundation are and what they do. He's definitely in the 'Christ-like' camp of Christianity.

It's ok, I don't need him to be ideologically pure. Just that the fact that he's not means it felt prudent to double-check before investing money in it.
