Gender dysphoria in young people is a significant health and welfare issue that often leads to medicalized gender intervention, an experimental process involving social transition, puberty blockade, cross-sex hormones and mutilating surgery. Sadly, the voices of gender identity politics and a powerful transgender lobby have drowned out the desperate pleas of parents, young people and health professionals for a rational discussion based on available evidence regarding best treatment and management. In this set of collected papers, Dianna Kenny explores and integrates key issues including the flawed ideology of transgender politics, gender development in young children that is not understood by the trans lobby, medical and safety concerns, ethics and legislation, the safety of available medical treatments, the role of the internet and social contagion in the increasing numbers of children declaring themselves transgender, key issues in decision making and the implications of transgender legislation on female sport participation.
