Is there anything wrong with transgenderism? Who could possibly be hurt? Dr. Frank Turek uses sound reason and evidence—not religion— to show that virtually everyone is hurt by same-sex marriage and transgenderism, even those who identify as LGBTQ. There's lots of concise answers to objections about equal rights, discrimination, being born a certain way, and the charge that people who disagree are homophobic or transphobic. Dr. Turek’s message is direct but respectful—correct, not politically correct. It is a message we must not ignore.
