Synopsis

Can a boy be trapped in a girl's body? Can modern medicine reassign sex? Is our sex assigned to us in the first place? What is the most loving response to a person experiencing a conflicted sense of gender? What should our law say on matters of gender identity? When Harry Became Sally provides thoughtful answers to questions arising from our transgender moment. Drawing on the best insights from biology, psychology, and philosophy, Ryan Anderson offers a nuanced view of human embodiment, a balanced approach to public policy on gender identity, and a sober assessment of the human costs of getting human nature wrong. This book exposes the contrast between the media's sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria. Everyone has something at stake in the controversies over transgender ideology, and Anderson offers a strategy for pushing back with principle and prudence, compassion and grace.

Anderson's contribution to the transgender issue is primarily from the policy (state, education, community, science, etc.) standpoint.

This is an important read. There is nothing hateful in this in the slightest. Anderson emphasizes respect for the afflicted, caution for the confused, and common sense protections for women and children. Must read if you're not afraid of nuanced though on the subject.......more

Goodreads review by Gabriella on May 26, 2018

This is a very timely book on this controversial matter. Ryan Anderson take a very level-headed, respectful tone towards those advocating for transgenderism. He cites numerous individuals with empathetic intentions to show how failed transitions or those who detransitioned need to be heard rather th......more

Goodreads review by Tanja on March 05, 2021

A few years ago I was on a road trip with my sister and her children. We had stopped at a gas station to use the restrooms. As we are washing our hands, a tall person with short hair and trucker overalls walks in. Unthinkingly, I opened the door to the restroom and asked "did we walk into the wrong......more
