Many of us today might feel like we are stuck in the worst period of history given our particular struggles. At no time in history have crossdressing and transgenderism been more accepted and celebrated than they are today. Even many people who don’t experience gender...

I would like to recommend the book Love Thy Body by Nancy Pearcey. You could read some good book reviews here and here. Although there is only one chapter on transgender issues, the whole book is very important. Pearcey gives a very clear and strong critique of the...

This research study (pdf) is important to read – Suicide Attempts among Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Adults. The study was not perfect nor were its research methodologies (as noted even in the report itself). But really, what study is perfect? This...

I read this article in the News – Transgender Americans take on New York – I found it interesting but also troubling in a few ways. First of all, I always think it is strange when transsexuals make statements like – “It is the contents of a...
