When I Grow Up: Conversations With Adults In Search Of Adulthood by Moya Sarner
Hardback: When do we become adults? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward - or keep us stuck?
These are the questions that journalist Moya Sarner sets out to answer as she begins training as a psychotherapist. But as she delves further into her own mind and others’, she soon realises that growing up is far from the linear process we imagine it to be.
So begins a journey of discovery into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives.

As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As A Girl by John Colapinto
Paperback: As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As A Girl (2000) is a true story about the "twins case" and a riveting exploration of medical arrogance, misguided science, societal confusion, gender differences, and one man's ultimate triumph.
In 1967, after a twin baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his family agreed to a radical treatment that would alter his gender. The case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine—and a total failure. The boy's uninjured brother, raised as a boy, provided to the experiment the perfect matched control. As Nature Made Him tells the extraordinary story of David Reimer, who, when finally informed of his medical history, made the decision to live as a male.
Writing with uncommon intelligence, insight, and compassion, John Colapinto sets the historical and medical context for the case, exposing the thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr John Money and his fellow sex researcher, Dr Milton Diamond - a rivalry over the nature/nurture debate whose very bitterness finally brought the truth to light.
A macabre tale of medical arrogance, it is first and foremost a human drama of one man's - and one family's - amazing survival in the face of terrible odds.
As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As A Girl is a New York Times Bestseller.
Sadly and tragically, David Reimer died by suicide at age 38 in 2004. His parents state that Dr John Money's methodology was responsible for his death as well as the death of his twin brother, Brian, who was found dead of a drug overdose at age 36 in 2002.

What Is A Woman? by Matt Walsh
Hardback: But as time went on and as the interview hours ticked up, I began to realise that the problem wasn't my understanding. Nothing they said made any sense. They contradicted themselves, sometimes within minutes of speaking. Their terms were fuzzy and quickly discarded. They made bold proclamations but could never say exactly why their proclamation was so. Their arguments collapsed, not with hammer blows or a hard push, but with soft questions, because the core of gender ideology is hollow. Confusing words simply mask the fact that there is no "there" there. But I don't want you to take my word for it. You should hear it from "the experts" themselves. - Matt Walsh
Is this even a question?
What is a woman?
But all of a sudden, way too many people do not seem to know the answer. Is a woman a woman just by feeling or acting a particular way? Aren’t gender roles just a “social construct”? Can a woman be “trapped in a man’s body”? Does being a woman mean anything at all?
We used to think being a woman had something to do with biology, but the nation’s top experts keep assuring us that is definitely not the case. So Matt decided to do what no man (whatever that means) had done before. He sat down with the experts and asked them directly.
In What Is a Woman? (2022), our hero:
• Discovers that no one - not doctors, therapists, psychiatrists, or politicians - can actually define the word “woman”
• Hilariously convinces a radical gender therapist that Matt is questioning his own gender identity
• Uncovers the shocking and horrifying roots of radical gender ideology
• Learns exactly how activists and ideologues are trying to brainwash our kids
• Reveals a strategy to defeat the collective insanity that has taken over our society
Join Matt on his often comical, yet deeply disturbing, journey as he answers the question generations before us never knew they needed to ask: What is a woman?
What is a Woman? (2022) is a Publishers Weekly Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Seattle Times Bestseller and an Amazon Bestseller. Walsh's books can be purchased in all bookstores and online platforms.
