為要轉換性別的兒童的父母提供諮詢
張逸萍譯自﹕“Counseling Parents of Transitioning Children” By: Keith Evans, June 21, 2023 ( https://www.biblicalcounselingcoalition.org/2023/06/21/counseling-parents-of-transitioning-children/)
你可能還想為家長提供資源,讓他們閱讀有關此主題的資料。為了對這個主題進行簡短、易於理解的、具有實際意義和應用的處理,你可希望引導他們了解Gender as Calling: The Gospel & Gender Identity。對於跨性別運動對我們所愛之人造成的危險進行更深入的研究,請考慮瑞安·安德森(Ryan Anderson)的《當哈利變成莎莉》(When Harry Became Sally)。還有一本書,它並非基於基督教世界觀,然而是道德世界觀的,就是阿比蓋爾·施裡爾(Abigail Shrier)的《 Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters 》,它有助於揭示這種意識形態的掠奪性本質是如何運作的。
