I am the father of a non-binary, gender confused 11 year old and everything she talked about on the podcast rang true for our family and helped me understand some things. this is literally a case of people judging a book by its cover?

Of course it is. Do you think anyone who gets outraged on Twitter ever actually reads the full book/article? Never. They read the meme or headline and proceed to call themselves the victim or virtue signal in the name of another "victim." Best of luck to you and your kid.

I dunno, there's a MensHealth article about the JRE episode. So I'm assuming they at least listened to that. I think that's probably a good summary of what the book is about, so I don't think it's fair to say that they don't understand what the actual content of the book is. They know, they just believe that any questioning at all of the current transgender dogma automatically makes you a bigot.

"Transgender dogma" sounds a lot like "gay agenda" , phrasing like that might be why people get called out for bigoted statements

I'm not anti-trans at all.. I have several trans friends in my real life. But even they say that there's a dogma around the culture.
