Parents’ accounts of family conflict around gender identity

Edited by Kirralie Smith, Devastated brings together first-hand accounts from Australian parents who describe conflict, fear, and powerlessness as their children express a wish to transition gender. The contributors connect these experiences to online influences, family strain, and what they portray as institutional limits on questioning or dissent. Framed as a call for parents to trust their judgment and advocate for their children, the book presents a strongly critical view of gender-affirming ideas and activism. Its emphasis is on the parents’ testimonies and their stated concerns about the consequences for children, marriages, and family relationships.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking parent perspectives on family disagreements around gender identity
  • Readers interested in first-person accounts from Australian families
  • Those examining critical arguments about gender ideology and parenting

Book overview

Devastated is a deeply personal book that uncovers the reality faced by families across Australia as they struggle with the impact of gender ideology.

Edited by Kirralie Smith, this groundbreaking book contains the first-hand accounts of some of those families.

For many, this is the first time they have publicly told their story.

They share the heartbreak of losing their children to a harmful ideology, their feelings of powerlessness as their kids are groomed online and the devastating impacts on their marriages and children.

These parents have been silenced by a system that prohibits any dissent or questioning of a child expressing a desire to "transition their gender".

Their stories shed light on the sinister tactics of the gender industry and the activists working to separate children from their families.

By sharing their stories, these parents hope to inspire others to trust their instincts and fight for their children before it's too late.
