Wow, you sure do speak for a lot of people.  :coffee:

You should buy the book and show us the offending pages.

I expect it's not what's being represented in your right wing media editorials.

Or you can just be lead by the nose by a Fox news opinion writer, whatever you prefer.

That was going to be my next question.  Has anyone who's complaining about it actually read through this book? The reviews on it show that it covers a wide range of topics and is wrapped around the concept of feeling good in your own skin whether you're fat, tall, dark, etc.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

I speak for myself.

fox news put the offending pages right in the article, that you didn't bother to read. they even made it where you can flip the page to see the rest of it.
nobody leads me by the nose and you know me well enough to know that by now.

If you think I'm going to read an opinion piece from Fox news, well, you haven't been paying attention.

I did a search on the Wall Street Journal and didn't find anything. They're a respectable right leaning news organization.

That's what I got too. Overall it looks like a healthy series of books.

except for the fact that it suggests using puberty blockers for small children...

And you're relying on a Fox news opinion writer to provide context.

I think that's a great idea.  :whistle:

I noticed that the editorial links to an article on Fox Business that quotes the 'offending text' on the pages.  I couldn't zoom up on the picture of the pages to be able to read it. My eyes are too bad.  :D 

Quote"You can appreciate your body for everything it allows you to experience and still want to change certain things about it," another page adds. "If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity."

The book tells readers, "If you don't have an adult you trust, there are organizations across the country that can help you. Turn to the resources on page 95 for more information."


I'm not a parent so I can't really comment too much, but I would probably rip that page out of the book before I gave it to a kid to read.  :D
