FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APP Releases New Report on Origins and Consequences of Transgender Movement
Sex, Truth, and Reconciliation features eight essays by experts across the issue area
Washington D.C. – Today, American Principles Project (APP ) released Sex, Truth, and Reconciliation: An Autopsy of the Transgender Movement, a book of essays comprehensively documenting the history of manipulation and corruption behind the transgender movement. Each essay outlines a different aspect of this story, ranging from the ideology’s origins in unethical medical practices in the twentieth century, to its capture of various legal and professional institutions, and the damage it has caused to vulnerable individuals caught in its path.
The book is edited by IM-1776’s Ben Braddock and features work authored by subject experts including Drs. Jay Richards and Scott Yenor of The Heritage Foundation, Inez Feltscher Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum, Max Eden of the America First Policy Institute, whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim, author Mary Margaret Olohan, and APP President Terry Schilling.
You can find the full book available here.
Terry Schilling released the following statement with the book’s release:
“The transgender movement has only been allowed to grow and spread because of manipulation and corruption from the get-go. It is truly sickening to see how gender ideology has destroyed so many lives. This book contains a much-needed deep dive into the sordid history of this ideology and the industry it spawned, exposing the falsehoods and misdeeds that have been at its center since the beginning.
“This compendium is a truly eye-opening read into the movement poisoning our culture today, and we hope it will serve as an encouragement to the ongoing efforts to eliminate this ideology from its remaining strongholds and to return sanity to medicine, law, and the rest of our society.”
