Book when harry became sally5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It gives a voice to people who tried to “transition” by changing their bodies, and found themselves no better off. This book exposes the contrast between the media’s sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria. 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. When Harry Became Sally provides thoughtful answers to questions arising from our transgender moment. 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”? ![]()
