The Genspect books page is an annotated reading list about gender dysphoria and the public debate surrounding it. The list was compiled by the international organization Genspect, which advocates a psychological approach to gender dysphoria, and reflects that perspective.
The main article on this subject is Genspect.
What you can find
The page consists of two sections. The first contains books for parents, healthcare professionals and anyone with a general interest in the subject. These include Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier, When Kids Say They're Trans by Lisa Marchiano, Sasha Ayad and Stella O'Malley, Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality by Helen Joyce, Material Girls by Kathleen Stock and a book about gender identity and gender dysphoria by psychiatrist Az Hakeem. Each title comes with a brief description.
The second section is devoted to children's books, including My Body is Me! by Rachel Rooney, a picture book about accepting one's own body.
Other titles on the list
The first section contains thirteen titles. In addition to the books already mentioned, it includes Inventing Transgender Children and Young People, a collection edited by Michele Moore and Heather Brunskell-Evans, Gender Dysphoria: A Therapeutic Model by Susan Evans and Marcus Evans, which describes a psychoanalytic framework for treating young people, and Tomboy by Lisa Selin Davis, about girls who do not conform to gender conventions. There are also books aimed directly at parents, such as Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans, a collection of parents' stories, and a practical guide by social worker Pamela Garfield-Jaeger. The second children's book on the list is The Handsome Little Cygnet by Matthew Mehan.
Titles also featured in this archive
Genspect describes the list as a small collection of books for families, practitioners and anyone wishing to learn more about the subject. Several titles have their own archive page on this site, including the criticism they have received: Trans by Helen Joyce, Material Girls by Kathleen Stock and The End of Gender by Debra Soh. That criticism is absent from the Genspect page, which only recommends the books. Books defending the gender-affirming approach are not included.
Why it is included in this archive
The list is in English and one-sided in its selection, but it is a quick way to see the best-known titles associated with critical perspectives in one place. More reading material can be found on the external sources page.
