Description: Today, more than 1 in 20 teens say they are transgender or gender questioning-- an order of magnitude higher than just a decade ago. How is it possible that so many youngsters-- within just a matter of years-- became persuaded that they' d been born in the wrong body? As liberal journalist Anita Bartholomew reveals in Sacrificial Lambs, the answer lies not with gender-confused children but rather with our most trusted institutions and the adults who run them: the medical professionals who " transition" children to facsimiles of the opposite sex before they are old enough to know what sex is; the teachers who tell kindergarteners that doctors only " guessed" their sex at birth; and the mainstream media outlets that label chemical and surgical experiments on children as " life-saving" care. Exposing the many lies and mistruths of gender ideology, Bartholomew shows that every " progressive" argument you've heard in favor of it is wrong. Even if you consider yourself a supporter of the trans movement, once you've seen the breadth and depth of how gender ideology has harmed young people emotionally, psychologically, and physically, you might reassess what it means to be an ally.
Brief description: Anita Bartholomew is a former longtime contributing editor and contributor to Reader's Digest and the author of Siege: An American Tragedy, a detailed account of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, that has been hailed by Midwest Book Review as "essential reading for future generations."
Review Quotes:
"Reckless, mutilating experiments on children, hailed as 'life-saving care' by clueless and/or captured media, and promoted by a shadowy multi-national movement with roots in fetishism and pedophilia. It would sound like dystopian fiction if gender madness weren't our current reality. And Anita Bartholomew's Sacrificial Lambs courageously documents how it devastates families, institutions, and the young." --Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words, Endgame, and Bright Green Lies, and the creator of Queer Theory Pedophilia Jeopardy
"Anita Bartholomew's Sacrificial Lambs perfectly captures how unhinged the transgender movement is from the vantage point of a traditional Democrat. Her directness and simple prose beautifully tackle the cognitive dissonance required to convince oneself to deny truth and replace it with fantasy. Anyone who wants to know the full story of how we arrived to a place where children are having their healthy body parts removed, must read this well-researched book." --Erin Friday, Esq., Co-Lead, Our Duty - USA "As a lifelong liberal and a former insider in pediatric medicine, I watched institutions I once trusted fall into lockstep with an ideology that harms children. In Sacrificial Lambs, Anita Bartholomew tells this story with clarity, compassion, and unflinching honesty. She shows how they got all of us--especially the well-meaning--to go along. And what must happen now." --Jamie Reed, whistleblower from a pediatric gender clinic and Co-Executive Director, LGB Courage Coalition"Parent stories about clinics, schools, and whole communities 'affirming' their children on the flimsiest of 'identity' pronouncements have too much in common with films like Wicker Man, or Rosemary's Baby, or Village of the Damned to ignore the commonalities ... closer to a true crime book than a horror novel, since its topic is horrifyingly real." --Matt Osborne, The Distance Mag
"In Sacrificial Lambs, journalist Anita Batholomew reports a failure of trusted professions so reckless and irrational that it sometimes seems a waking nightmare. The most vulnerable victims are women and children, and yet coercive gender ideology parades itself as a new progressive freedom." --Bernard Lane, Gender Clinic News
