The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), based at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in North London, was set up initially to provide - for the most part - talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity. But in the last decade GIDS has referred more than a thousand children, some as young as nine years old, for medication to block their puberty. In the same period, the number of referrals has exploded, increasing thirty-fold, while the profile of the patients has changed, from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls.

Eye opening!
Reviewed: 04-13-25
Extremely thorough review of available data and history of the Travistok gender clinic. Although I was aware of some of the happenings of this organization, the author’s rigorous review of published accounts and interviews makes this a must read for anyone interested in learning all the facts!
It was truly Eye opening! I had no idea how troubled this organization was and how they were torn from within and without over what was the right approach.
I highly recommend this book.

When Delia Balmer entered into a relationship with the attentive John Sweeney, she had no idea he was a serial killer. At first he was caring but over the course of their relationship he became violent and controlling. On more than one occasion he held Delia hostage and tortured her. Chillingly, he also confessed to the murder of his previous girlfriend. This is her compelling memoir.

So real. So compelling. Delia slowly weaves her living tragedy of her life with a serial killer. Yet there was something about her over the three years she lived with him that hated him and drew her to him simultaneously. A fascinating story. In the end my heart and hope for her wellbeing is with her!

In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

I am 77 years old and this book is as enlightening to me as it surely is for those parents and would be parents to absorb.
It examines the realities of today’s education system and asks all of us to see the facts and make the best decisions for our children and to never be pressured by society to turn our children over to school systems and psychiatrists!
Something bad is going on and we all must push back against it no matter what our age! We cannot allow this type of thinking to continue. Our future depends on it!

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Eye opening to the blind
Reviewed: 08-05-23
I like many others have wondered what happened to us with this diversity, equity and inclusion scenario. Where did this come from? Why do I feel like I have been blind and it was just thrust on us in just the last few years coming out of nowhere. Well, Mr. Rufo clears all of that up for the reader. I highly recommend this book so that we can learn from history. This Marxist cancer must be overcome but first we must understand its origins!

This paradigm-shattering book provides an even-handed, science-based understanding of who women are, both on and off the pill. It will change the way that women think about their hormones and how they view themselves. It also serves as a rallying cry for women to demand more information from science about how their bodies and brains work and to advocate for better research. This book will help women make more informed decisions about their health, whether they're on the pill or off of it.

Does your workplace have too few Black people in top jobs? It’s racist. Does the advanced math and science high school in your city have too many Asians? It’s racist. Does your local museum employ too many White women? It’s racist, too. After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism”.

It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family’s corruption. Rigged is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway’s exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats’ historic power grab.

Excellent level headed review of all events!
Reviewed: 10-31-21
Even as I lived through the 2020 election and surrounding events, Ms. Hemingway uses her fact-based, un-emotional, review of these events as she puts all the puzzle pieces together allowing the reader to see a truly dangerous development in our election system. Mr. Trump is a very unique individual, an iconoclast against the system. They hated him! Happily, he helped 75,000,000 people see through the fog. Mr. Trump broke through and shined a light on the corruption and Ms. Hemingway has documented in detail a living history of those events.
