Desist, Detrans & Detox
Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult
In this actionable analysis of one of the most damaging movements of the modern age, renowned author Maria Keffler makes a compelling case that what lies at the core of the transgender phenomenon is a crisis of identity, and that only a loving but firm reality check can staunch the hysteria.
Keffler makes unassailable arguments: Maleness and femaleness are immutable biological facts. Masculinity and femininity are personality constructs, conditioned by societal norms.
But “gender,” the term favored by activists, has no solid definition. The language introduced by gender ideology is entirely subjective, which allows emotions to redefine reality. The very premise of the ideology is flawed and requires mental gymnastics of its adherents.
Keffler outlines the disturbing parallels between cults and gender ideology: recruitment tactics that prey upon insecurities, indoctrination in nonsensical beliefs that must never be questioned, requirements to shun nonbelievers, and in-group newspeak which cultivates a sense of belonging.
She exposes the cult of gender ideology with journalistic detail, digging into aspects the mainstream media chooses to ignore. She investigates:
- The origins of modern gender ideology in the 1960s
- How the obsession to “affirm” gender identity leads to medical negligence in overlooking mental health issues
- The role of bullying and peer pressure in the gender cult
- The rapidly growing community of detransitioners and their insightful firsthand testimonies
Keffler also provides a manual for parenting children during the time they are most vulnerable to predatory gender activism. She instructs parents in navigating this brave new world, including discerning fact from fiction, setting boundaries regarding names and pronouns, how to find a trustworthy therapist, and how to determine what vulnerabilities led the child to the gender cult in the first place.
The book includes an abundance of resources for parents whose children are currently in the throes of or recovering from gender dysphoria. Central to her approach is unconditional love and forgiveness, with a focus on moving forward together.
Packed with statistical data, reasoned arguments, and practical advice, Desist, Detrans, and Detox equips readers to prevent, work through, and heal from the “medical scandal of the 21st century.”

Our children are in a crisis and extreme activists are redefining reality. These activists’ ideology is replacing parents’ rights to raise their children according to their own value systems. This ideology has invaded our families and the minds of our children, instilling a false narrative that is founded neither on science nor common sense. This narrative confuses our children with its warped definition of sexuality and gender, and with the promise that transitioning sexes will be the answer to their pain and struggle. Science is no longer the gold standard, but the activists’ agenda is. Good researchers, doctors, therapists, and educators are marginalized, censored, cancelled, and even punished for speaking the truth as they know it. They must align with the activists’ voice, or else. Critical thinking is now criticized. Ms. Keffler, in her book, Desist, Detrans & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult, intelligently and courageously encourages parents not to give up their children to the activists’ agenda. This book elucidates the true nature of the cult mentality and the tactics of the activists who seek to indoctrinate our children. Parents are offered specific strategies on how to save their children from this predatory movement and restore them to a healthy life in connection with their loving family. Well done, Ms. Keffler. You are a frontline soldier in this perilous and covert battle for the health, future, and souls of our children.

If you have teens in your life, you need to read this book now. Gender ideology has flooded our kids’ world, distorting their perceptions and manipulating their emotions. And our most vulnerable children are being seduced by the mirage of ‘gender transition,’ with devastating consequences. Parents, grandparents, teachers, and faith leaders ask, ‘What should I do? How can I help the children I care about?’ Maria Keffler, an experienced educator and parent advocate, has written an outstanding book that answers these questions. An engaging writer, Maria draws on the latest research, expert advice, and personal insights from parents and ‘detransitioned’ young people to provide the words and practical steps to safeguard our children. This is a realistic, often wrenching, but ultimately hopeful account that reminds parents—and anyone affected by the gender madness—that they are not alone, and that the truth will set them free.

With the staggering increase in numbers of gender-confused children, more and more families face a calamity that leaves them feeling isolated, lost, and desperate. Parents turn to therapists for guidance, only to be told they’re the problem, for questioning their child’s new identity and opposing “treatment” — powerful hormones that interfere with normal development, followed by surgery to remove healthy organs. Maria Keffler has written a landmark book, a step-by-step survival guide for loving parents fighting to save their children from the clutches of the gender industry, return them to reality, and give them the best chance of a healthy and secure future. Bravo, Maria, for your courage and brilliance. Parents everywhere owe you a debt of gratitude.

This book has come at a most important time in our public conversation about transgender medicine and surgery. It is an invaluable help in understanding how it is possible to see a 5,000 percent rise in this putative diagnosis, and not hear the advocates ask a single question about why this is even happening. Family, friends, counselors, pastors, and teachers will benefit from this highly readable examination of what will likely be the greatest medical disaster of the last hundred years.
