Ebook About Foreword Reviews' 18th Annual INDIEFAB Honorable Mention for PsychologyFew topics are more contested today than gender identity. In the fog of the culture war, complex issues like gender dysphoria are reduced to slogans and sound bites. And while the war rages over language, institutions and political allegiances, transgender individuals are the ones who end up being the casualties.Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, challenges the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories. In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse offers a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates the psychological and theological complexity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person.In the midst of a tense political climate, Yarhouse calls Christians to come alongside those on the margins and stand with them as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity. Understanding Gender Dysphoria is the book we need to navigate these stormy cultural waters.Book Understanding Gender Dysphoria: Navigating Transgender Issues in a Changing Culture (Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books) Review :
If you're interested in finding out the contours of mental disease and how otherwise seemingly rational people can descend into madness, this book is a comprehensive and readable treatise on how America can create an entirely new "reality" out of thin air and grant professional credentials to people so out of touch with reality that they don't know the difference between "male" and "female". Never once making a scientific case or addressing the fact that sex is a phenotype that is expressive of a given genotype (i.e. XX or XY normatively) in every one of the trillions of cells in the human body, Yarhouse toes the propaganda line and dutifully outlines the contours of the current dementia gripping Western Civilization by encouraging you to jump into the morass of rationally incongruent thought with enthusiasm. It's chock full of "idea laundering" where people who believe imaginary things write books and articles in which they make up ideas with no congruence to reality, cross reference each other, and then claim to be really smart in a self-constructed, self-contained echo chamber delusion.Yarhouse does a good job of defining the terms that the post-moderns are trying to redefine in a bit of an "Awe, don't we want everyone to feel good, even if they're not in touch with any tangible reality" kind of word salad that just "makes up" words like "gender-identity" separated from the phenotype expressed and then glibly expects that you buy it. Call it "science" five more times and it magically becomes "reality"! If you don't understand genotype and phenotype, it means that an XX chromosome pair expresses female sex organs, and an XY pair expresses male sex organs. Three-year-olds get it. Not so, Yarhouse. But then, what passes for higher education these days has slipped a bit.The nicest way that the book and other post-moderns try to explain these word-salad ideas are things like saying that somehow the genetics of all of the trillions of cells in the body genetically contain coding for one gender (i.e. male or female) or the other (they're the same as sex, despite what these folks try to sell you) and "somehow" they say that gender is separate from that and that the "wrong brain" is trapped in the incongruent body. At best they've defined a medical disorder indistinguishable from cancer. But then they go to great lengths to encourage you that the "kind" thing to do is to not challenge someone's cancer. Because as any oncologist knows, it's better that the patient dies feeling good about themselves than that they get real medical help. They go on to tell you that you're supposed to accept that and join the millions of fools walking around glibly chanting "They Emperor's new clothes are so fine indeed."Probably the most disturbing thing is that this tries to pass if off as a "Christian" book. It is not. And apparently, neither is the author a Christian. Clues should've included his credentials at Wheaton (i.e. a not Christian former University), as well as other noted false Christians like Bill Hybels and Stanton Jones. To put the capstone on it, if "Patheos", the sewer pit of theological and rational thinking, likes anything you write, it's pretty suspect.So beware. If you're looking to understand the propaganda that the post-moderns are putting out to deny objective reality, then Yarhouse has done a find job of serving up the word-salad baloney quite well. Kirk and Madsen couldn't be more proud. Yarhouse has done a find job of selling every bit of propaganda and confusing it with Christianity. If you're looking for Christianity, read a Bible. If you're looking for more information on how a man like Yarhouse and these ideas can be taken seriously by otherwise seemingly sane people, skip this one and read The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense by Gad Saad, or Cynical Theories by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. Dr. Yarhouse’s book is a unique and extremely valuable contribution to the discussion on gender identity, gender dysphoria, and how a local church can engage with people who experience gender dysphoria. The book is targeted towards Christians who are seeking to understand what gender dysphoria is and how to respond to it in a biblical way. However, I expect any person who is interested in the topic will gain something from it.This book is unique because Dr. Yarhouse possesses a unique combination of several crucial characteristics: (1) formal Christian theological training; (2) formal psychological training; and (3) over a decade of clinical experience in treating people who experience gender dysphoria. This combination of characteristics sets him apart from almost every other Christian who has published something on this topic and makes him one of the most authoritative voices that the evangelical church has for summarizing the latest research and providing thoughts on a way ahead.I found this book to be incredibly valuable for a number of reasons that I will attempt to summarize briefly.First, the book’s tone is very gracious and respectful. While this kind of respect should be the standard, in my experience it is not uncommon for people to write about transgender issues with tones of disdain. Throughout the book, Dr. Yarhouse puts in reminders that people who experience gender dysphoria are not any less worthy of respect than the average person, even saying (p. 41) “I acknowledge that we are – all of us – disordered. We do not like to think of ourselves as disordered, and this too is a reflection of the fall…What will make it harder is if we treat gender dysphoria as disorder while those of us who do not experience gender dysphoria…relate to others as though we are not ourselves disordered.”Second, I found the book to be an incredibly fair and even-handed treatment of the available literature on gender dysphoria. Over the years I have read the majority of published books and articles on this topic. (In contrast with published works on homosexuality, the volume of research and theological attention devoted to gender dysphoria is just a trickle.) Most authors on this topic only promote their own views and cite works that support those views. In contrast, Dr. Yarhouse provides a comprehensive and fair representation of existing views and research. The average proponent of the brain sex theory or sex reassignment surgery does not, in my experience, highlight Blanchard’s theories (except, perhaps, to denigrate them). Nor does the average Christian who believes transitioning is morally wrong tend to highlight studies by Diamond or Mazur. The Notes section at the end represents what is perhaps an unparalleled bibliography for the average person who is new to this subject and wants to understand what books and articles have been published about it.Third, Dr. Yarhouse identifies three common frameworks, or lenses, with which people today tend to view gender dysphoria. This is valuable because it can help people to understand how others may approach the subject differently, potentially leading to actual discourse versus just talking past each other. He also proposes an integrated framework that combines the best aspects of the three. I believe this integrated framework is a valuable tool for the church to build upon. One observation that I found particularly insightful was that people are looking for a sense of meaning and community and thus tend to gravitate towards the diversity framework (which celebrates the transgender experience) because it offers these things. In contrast, the integrity (commonly held in evangelical circles) and disability frameworks do not inherently provide meaning-making structures or storylines (p. 124 - “Most people do not find, ‘I’m managing my dysphoria in the least invasive way’ as a particularly meaningful storyline for identity and community”). This observation leads to reflection on how the church can better integrate this aspect of the diversity framework together with the others.Though I could fill this entire review with superlatives (I am giving the book five stars after all), I do have a few relatively minor critiques and comments that may help someone know what to expect.First, at times the book tends to read like a seminary textbook or a peer-reviewed article in a clinical journal. (Not surprising, since Dr. Yarhouse is, after all, a university professor and director of a research institute.) Words like “telos,” “noetic,” and “etiology,” which are readily understandable to someone who has studied Greek or regularly reads medical journals, frequently appear with little explanation. This is particularly the case in chapters 3-5, in which he reviews the available research and treatments. It is less the case in the chapters where he discusses Christian responses. Regardless, I think the book is approachable to anyone who is really wanting to understand more about gender dysphoria.Second (and related to the first item), facts and excerpts from books or studies are sometimes presented without a lot of commentary to help a person understand the meaning of those facts. This is understandable given that if Dr. Yarhouse were to stop and thoroughly explain every fact presented, the book would probably be ten times longer. It is also fine if one is already familiar with the topic at hand. However, if one is reading about gender dysphoria for the first time, there may be times when a fact, while true, may cause someone to attach the wrong meaning to the fact. The most notable instance of this to me was on p. 119 where Dr. Yarhouse presented a study by Dhejne et al., which concluded that the mortality/suicide rate was higher in post-operative transsexuals than in the general population. The average person, not understanding how high the suicide rate is in the pre-operative transsexual population, could easily read this and think that surgical operations increase the likelihood of a transsexual person’s suicide. The study did not factor in the mortality rate of pre-operative transsexuals (in fact the study even says “no inferences can be drawn as to the effectiveness of sex reassignment as a treatment for transsexualism. In other words, the results should not be interpreted such as sex reassignment per se increases morbidity and mortality. Things might have been even worse without sex reassignment.”) However, this was not explained in the subsequent commentary.Third, Dr. Yarhouse seems to use pronouns that are consistent with a person’s outward gender presentation. That is, if referring to someone who experiences gender dysphoria but is not seeking sex reassignment, pronouns consistent with the person’s biological sex are used. However, if referring to someone who is transitioning, pronouns consistent with the target gender are used. This may be unexpected and jarring to people who insist on sticking with the name and pronouns consistent with a person’s biological sex. In his associated Christianity Today article, Dr. Yarhouse explains, “If Sara shares her name with me, as a clinician and Christian, I use it. I do not use this moment to shout ‘Integrity!’ by using her male name or pronoun, which clearly goes against that person’s wishes. It is an act of respect, even if we disagree, to let the person determine what they want to be called. If we can’t grant them that, it’s going to be next to impossible to establish any sort of relationship with them.” However I do not recall a similar explanation in the book.To conclude, I am extremely grateful that Dr. Yarhouse took the time to write this book. Gender dysphoria is currently a very misunderstood and polarizing topic, and Dr. Yarhouse writes with an authority, clarity, and humility that deserves much respect and gratitude, particularly from the Christian church. Although I know this book is not going to please everyone, I think Dr. Yarhouse makes many insightful points that are well worth considering, regardless of your take on gender dysphoria.
