Daily Wire Backstage: Biden’s Most Terrifying "Accomplishments"

In this book, Carl R. Trueman explores the historical and philosophical roots of the modern concept of the self, tracing the development from an externally defined identity to an internally focused, expressive individualism. He examines the contributions of thinkers such as Rousseau, the Romantics, Freud, and contemporary philosophers like Charles Taylor, Philip Rieff, and Alasdair MacIntyre. Trueman argues that the sexual revolution is a symptom of a broader transformation in human selfhood, which has led to a highly psychologized and sexualized understanding of identity. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how these changes have shaped modern culture and offers guidance for Christians navigating these cultural shifts.

This book provides thoughtful answers to questions arising from the current transgender moment. Drawing on insights from biology, psychology, and philosophy, Ryan Anderson offers a balanced approach to public policy on gender identity and a sober assessment of the human costs of misconceptions about human nature. It contrasts the media's depiction of gender fluidity with the often sad realities of living with gender dysphoria, highlighting stories of individuals who transitioned but found no improvement and those who regretted transitioning as children. Anderson argues that the most beneficial therapies focus on helping people accept and live in harmony with their bodies, and he discusses the implications for parents, policymakers, and healthcare professionals.
