Toxic Feminism
The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory by Abigail Favale
Ignatius Press, 2022
(251 pages, $17.95, paperback)
The rapid spread of gender dysphoria is an urgent problem—not just because of the tidal wave of teenagers, most of them girls, struggling with their sexual identity, but particularly because our medical establishment generally avoids asking the hard questions and instead has decided simply to affirm our kids’ self-identification. Parents are often without recourse when, to their own spiritual and physical detriment, their girls insist on testosterone treatment followed by a double mastectomy and other surgical steps deforming their growing female bodies.

"There are magazines worth reading but few worth saving . . . Touchstone is just such a magazine."
—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
