Detrans - by Mary Margaret Olohan (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Reports on individuals who have undergone gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries, and who have later sought to reverse these treatments, and in some cases have filed lawsuits regarding their experiences. This book uses in-depth interviews with "detransitioners" to argue that the actions of some in the medical profession and the transgender community amount to abuse and profiteering."--

Book Synopsis

Trans activists are all about speaking up--unless you regret your "transition" and have made the journey back. If you question gender ideology, you'd better keep your mouth shut. But a compelling new book features multiple interviews with detransitioners and gives a voice to young people who were caught up in this damaging ideology. And their testimony--including from the lawsuits they have filed against the gender-affirming medical and therapeutic professionals who treated them--is unforgettable. "Gay Pride Month" every June has become an unquestioning celebration not just of Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, but also of Transitioning. Detransitioners' experience reveals that there's more complexity and pain involved in that category than most people will ever guess.

The number of teens and pre-teens persuaded they were born with the wrong body has exploded. Goaded by a toxic online "community" and assisted by teachers, doctors, and even their own parents, they are promptly set on the path of puberty-blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gruesome "gender-affirming" surgeries.

Media and activists insist that "transitioning" is the happy ending to these stories. But countless young people bear terrible emotional and physical scars. Adding to their anguish, the transgender community that once embraced them now wants to keep them quiet.

Now one fearless reporter, Mary Margaret Olohan, shares their stories. Based on in-depth personal interviews, Detrans exposes the unconscionable abuse these detransitioners have endured--manipulative therapy sessions, mental and emotional anguish, botched surgeries, and attempts to construct phantom body parts. Their testimonies reveal a truth so disturbing that transgender activists will do anything to hide it.

Detrans is indispensable evidence of the life-shattering power of gender ideology.

Review Quotes

"This book will outrage you and that's why it's a must-read"
- Donald Trump Jr.

"The stories in Detrans are heartbreaking. But you need to read them. Mary Margaret Olohan brilliantly narrates the lives that have beendamaged by transgender ideology while highlighting the human costs of getting human nature wrong. The brave young people she profiles in this book are both victims and heroes--the victims of a grotesque medical scandal, and the heroes that will bring it to an end."
--RYAN T. ANDERSON, Ph.D., president of the Ethics and Public Policy
Center and author of When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment

"Mary Margaret Olohan's fearless reporting exposes the brutal, horrifying nature of 'gender affirming care' for children and young adults and the medical field's complicity in it. The brave detransitioners she profiles share what it's actually like to gender transition in gripping detail. Their stories, so thoughtfully and sensitively chronicled in Detrans, are unforgettable."
--KATRINA TRINKO, editor in chief of The Daily Signal

"While much of the media and medical establishment would rather ignore the devastating stories of detransitioners, Mary Margaret Olohan
ensures they're heard. Detrans documents a medical scandal of historic proportions, with countless young people manipulated and betrayed into believing they were 'born in the wrong bodies.' Anyone who cares about the well-being of children can't look away from this book and the horrors it exposes."
--KELSEY BOLAR, executive producer of the Identity Crisis series and
senior policy analyst at Independent Women's Forum

"Until recently, no one knew the word 'detransitioner.' It refers to a growing army of victims of the gender quackery that has captured major medical groups. Patients are promised relief through drugs and surgery, but more and more are realizing they were sold a lie. Mary Margaret Olohan's book will introduce you to many young detransitioners. But her book is not just individual biographies. Olohan shows the recurring stages that these young people traverse--from the social pressure and encouragement at the beginning, to the realization, regret, and aftermath. Her account is both moving and infuriating. Let's pray Detrans helps put an end to this madness."
--JAY RICHARDS, Ph.D., William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in Religious Liberty and Civil Society and director, Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at the Heritage Foundation

"Mary Margaret Olohan fearlessly reveals the gruesome reality of what prescribing our children puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and 'gender-affirming' surgeries looks like. She does a major service to society by sharing the experiences of detransitioners to spread awareness of the tragedies they have endured at the hands of manipulative activists and bad doctors. Her personal reporting and engaging storytelling make it a must-read as we attempt to destroy this evil enterprise for good."
--MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, editor in chief of The Federalist

"Mary Margaret Olohan uses lived experiences to highlight the severity and harm being done to the victims of the gender ideology movement. To turn a blind eye to the adverse effects of this extreme movement is to be complacent. After reading this book, you will see that the argument is not 'anti-trans'; the argument is pro-child safeguarding, pro-fairness, and pro-truth."
--RILEY GAINES, twelve-time NCAA all-American swimmer, five-time SEC champion, and ambassador for the Independent Women's Forum
