Meanwhile, trans mobs are treated as gender patriots whose main enemy is feminists and their dissent from gender orthodoxies.The medicalization of gender dissatisfaction depicted by Raymond in her early visionary book, The Transsexual Empire, has today expanded exponentially into the transgender industrial complex built on big medicine, big pharma, big banks, big foundations, big research centers, some attached to big universities. And the current rise of treating young children with puberty blockers and hormones is a widespread scandal that has been named a medical experiment on children.Whereas transsexualism was mainly a male phenomenon in the past with males undertaking cross-sex hormones and surgery, today it is notably young women who are self-declaring as men in large numbers. The good news is that these young women who formerly identified as 'trans men' or gender non-binary, are now de-transitioning. In this book, they speak movingly about their severances from themselves and other women, their escape from compulsive femininity, their sexual assaults, the misogyny they experienced growing up, and their journeys in recovering their womanhood.Doublethink: A Feminist Challenge to Transgenderism makes us aware of the consequences of a runaway ideology and its costs -- among them what is at stake when males are allowed to compete in female sports and when parents are not aware of school curricula that confuse sex with gender and that can facilitate a child's hormone treatments without parental consent.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741134004497,"sku":"NGR9781925950380","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51243601723665,"sku":"GOR012609642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421664641297,"sku":"CIN1925950387G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52889174671633,"sku":"CIN1925950387LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53262161903889,"sku":"NIN9781925950380","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1925950387.jpg?v=1751428081"},{"product_id":"not-a-choice-not-a-job-book-janice-g-raymond-9781612346267","title":"Not a Choice, not a Job","description":"A generation ago, most people did not know how ubiquitous and grave human trafficking was. Now many people agree that the $35.7 billion business is an appalling violation of human rights. But when confronted with prostitution, many people experience an odd disconnect because prostitution is shrouded in myths, among them the claims that \"prostitution is inevitable,\" and \"prostitution is a job or service like any other.\" In Not a Choice, Not a Job, Janice Raymond challenges both the myths and their perpetrators. Raymond demonstrates that prostitution is not sex but sexual exploitation, and that legalizing and decriminalizing the system of prostitution—as opposed to the prostituted women—promotes sex trafficking, expands the sex industry, and invites organized crime. Specifically, Raymond exposes how legalized prostitution in the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, and Nevada worsens crime and endangers women. In contrast, she reveals, when governments work to prevent the demand for prostitution by prosecuting pimps, brothels, and prostitution users—as in Norway, Sweden, and Iceland—trafficking does not increase, women are better protected, and fewer men buy sex. Raymond expands the boundaries of scholarship in women's studies, making this book indispensable to human rights advocates around the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50059050877201,"sku":"CIN161234626XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51040474005777,"sku":"NIN9781612346267","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/161234626X.jpg?v=1761390970"},{"product_id":"mongolian-proverbs-book-janice-raymond-9781625646293","title":"Mongolian Proverbs","description":"Mongolian proverbs reveal important values, while at the same time concealing them. They show the honorable destiny that comes with a good name and the shameful future connected with a bad reputation, assuring a promising future for those who keep Mongolian traditions and customs alive. Unity is important for success, and yet is often elusive in practice. The activities of the unseen world form a major aspect of the Mongolian worldview. When that is understood, the wisdom in their proverbs can be seen from a richer perspective than straight translation reveals. This book sheds light on Mongolian proverbs' enduring wisdom by engaging foreigners in dialogue with native speakers to uncover how their proverbs are used and their intended meanings. Although contextualization theory was introduced more than four decades ago, it remains a work in progress. Janice Raymond's work on Mongolian proverbs makes an important contribution to the study of contextualization as a process, using the study of proverbs as the case in point. The outsider cannot be the primary agent of contextualization. Neither is the insider self-sufficient. Raymond's work is a case study in interdependence that is focused on deeper and more faithful understanding of the word of God using the vital indigenous materials that proverbs provide. --Wilbert R. Shenk, Senior Professor of Mission History and Contemporary Culture, Fuller Graduate School of Intercultural Studies, Pasadena, CA Janice Raymond's Mongolian Proverbs fills a regrettable void in the international study of folk wisdom. Her invaluable collection of 1419 proverbs from the fascinating Mongolian culture provides a key to the traditional worldview of the people of the large country of Mongolia. Its bilingual Mongolian-English arrangement does not merely include the texts, but also explanations in both languages concerning the use, function, and meaning of the proverbs based on interviews with the native population. As such, this compilation is a magisterial addition to comparative proverb scholarship. --Wolfgang Mieder, Professor of German and Folklore, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT Janice Raymond is a Faculty Associate at Bethel Theological Seminary at San Diego. She holds an MDiv from Bethel Theological Seminary and a Phd in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary at Pasadena. She has been conducting research in Mongolia since 1999 and has also written a series of elementary mathematics books titled ExcelMath.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51041272103185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041275019537,"sku":"NIN9781625646293","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52132881694993,"sku":"NLS9781625646293","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1625646291.jpg?v=1751183463"},{"product_id":"women-as-wombs-book-janice-raymond-9781925581874","title":"Women as Wombs","description":"A scathing analysis of high-tech biomedical reproductive techniques.
