Summary

Few topics are more contested today than gender identity. In the fog of the culture war, complex issues like gender dysphoria are reduced to slogans and sound bites. And while the war rages over language, institutions, and political allegiances, transgender individuals are the ones who end up being the casualties. Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, challenges the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories.

In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse offers a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates the psychological and theological complexity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person. In the midst of a tense political climate, Yarhouse calls Christians to come alongside those on the margins and stand with them as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity. Understanding Gender Dysphoria is the book we need to navigate these stormy cultural waters.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

surprisingly good

I had no expectation going into this. Being a non-religious person I enjoyed this nontheless. will probably use some of this in my clinical practice.

Helps Christians feel justified in their bigotry

Read something actually by a trans person instead, this lies and pretends compassion while completely misrepresenting the trans experience and the numerous studies of thousands of participants that shows gender affirming healthcare has a huge positive impact on quality of life. This book defends patriarchy and western gender stereotypes in the name of Jesus who never mentions trans people but does warn against religious leaders who are more committed to tradition than love.
