- Irreversible damage : the transgender craze seducing our daughters / by Shrier, Abigail,author.;
Includes bibliographic references and index.Introduction : the contagion -- Chapter one : the girls -- Chapter two : the puzzle -- Chapter three : the influencers -- Chapter four : the schools -- Chapter five : the moms and dads -- Chapter six : the shrinks -- Chapter seven : the dissidents -- Chapter eight : the promoted and the demoted -- Chapter nine : the transformation -- Chapter ten : the regret -- Chapter eleven : the way back -- Afterword : the update.Currently, large numbers of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as transgender--a concept which they most likely had never considered until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered via the internet community of trans "influencers." And while coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls' social status, once they take the first steps of actual transition it is not easy to turn back. The author helps parents understand what the trans craze is and offers urgently needed advice about how they can protect their daughters.Endorses the contentious concept of rapid-onset gender dysphoria. Shrier states that there was a "sudden, severe spike in transgender identification among adolescent girls" in the 2010s, referring to teenagers assigned female at birth. She attributes this to a social contagion among "high-anxiety, depressive (mostly white) girls who, in previous decades, fell prey to anorexia and bulimia or multiple personality disorder". Shrier also criticizes gender-affirming psychiatric support, hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery as treatment for gender dysphoria in young people relying mostly on interviews with estranged parents of transgender children.- Subjects: Transgender men; Female-to-male transsexuals; Gender dysphoria.; Parents of sexual minority youth.; Estranged families.; Transphobia.; Disinformation.; Misgendering.; Transgender people.; Transgender youth.; Trans men.; Transphobia.;

- The fabulous Zed Watson! / by Sylvester, Basil,author.; Sylvester, Kevin,author,illustrator.;
"The literary scavenger hunt of a lifetime, starring an endlessly endearing non-binary tween Zed Watson loves a few things: their name (which they chose themself!), their big rambunctious family, and--oh yeah--monsters. When Zed discovered the mystery surrounding an unpublished novel called The Monster's Castle, they were completely hooked. Now Zed is a member of a small but dedicated legion devoted to finding the long-buried text. When a breakthrough discovery leads Zed to the route that they are sure will take them to the treasure, they know it's time for a road trip. And with the help of their shy, flora-loving neighbour, Gabe, and his sister, Sam, a geologist who is driving back to college in Arizona, Zed and company are soon off on a wild adventure following cryptic clues. But it's not all fun and games. Gabe doesn't like Zed's snacks, Sam is a bossy driver with total command of the ancient Impreza's stereo, and Zed is often misgendered. It's a good thing they also encounter kind strangers, potato-themed dance-offs and lots and lots of ice cream along the way. If Zed and Gabe can combine their strengths, survive Sam's wrath and best the greedy historian who's also hot on the book's trail, they just might find the greatest treasure of all. Co-authored by child-parent duo Basil Sylvester and Kevin Sylvester, this is a vibrant and enormous-hearted story about friendship, identity and belonging. It features illustrations by celebrated author and illustrator Kevin Sylvester, and an Own Voices perspective based on Basil's experience."--Accelerated Reader AR- Subjects: Road fiction.; Novels.; Treasure hunting; Gender-nonconforming people; Friendship; Canadian fiction (English); Gender non-conforming people.; Friendships.;
