I was raised a catholic but as I reached adulthood I explored other religions especially Hinduism. I'm not against any religion here but Hinduism teaches every individual be it man , woman or transgender is equal. I think when this is taught in schools can it eliminate homophobia. This book seems well written and as you've rated it 5 stars I'm definitely adding it to my list

Today's BOTD is a thought-provoking fictional novel, based on real events, about difficult, but necessary, topics surrounding gender and identity in children. Readers will not only gain insight to both sides of the debate regarding transition, detransition, hate crimes, and Catholicism, but will also find this read suspenseful and impactful. Thank you for your thorough review! It was outstanding!

This is a serious subject, and it is wrong to bank on a minor's judgment when making life-changing choices. This book interests me as it discusses a significant issue and because I've read and seen so much about the misery caused by misguidance. I appreciate the author's choice of topic. A thorough review by the OBC reviewer. Congrats on BOTD!

"Plausible Liars" by Lynn Wilder is a book that essentially deals with the issue of gender and sex in the modern age. Dr. McCall and reporter Kate Townsend are facing charges for hate crime. I like that the book is unpredictable.

Thank you for your insightful review!

Plausible Liars by Lin Wilder delves into contemporary social issues with depth and nuance, blending faith and transgender ideology. The story follows Dr. Lindsey McCall and investigative reporter Kate Townsend as they navigate federal hate crime charges while addressing complex ethical dilemmas.

The narrative, influenced by Catholicism, is emotionally charged and well-edited. It tackles the issues of gender transition in children and detransitioning, presenting balanced perspectives. Readers interested in faith-based explorations of modern societal challenges will enjoy it.

This book addresses a controversial, important and current topic. I believe that in today's society there are people who may intentionally encourage children to doubt their biological gender. This seems like a book only for readers with an open mind regarding religion and transgenderism.
