After persuasively making a fatalistic case that trans ideology will triumph, in the final chapter, Trueman counsels his reader. The solutions he offers are mainly geared toward Christians and may be frustrating to some, as they are not centered on policy changes (and given that it is a short book with one chapter dedicated to a way forward, they cannot be comprehensive).

I think we are ordaining men too swiftly. Men who are too politically and ideologically minded.
First we have to lose the labels. Rebellion against God takes on all forms. We can practice charity and compassion without using the radical terminology of the activist.
As for Trueman, he’s pretty brilliant! That was an excellent review!
