Female Erasure is a dynamic collection of diverse voices speaking out against gender identity politics, exposing the origins and harmful effects of transgender ideology on the lives of women and children today as a continuation of female erasure and silencing. This anthology comes at a time when gender identity politics and profits from an emerging medical transgenderism industry for children, teens, and adults inhibit our ability to have meaningful discussions about sex, gender, changing laws that have provided sex-based protections for women and girls, and the re-framing of language referring to females as a distinct biological class. Standing strongly against gender stereotypes, female oppression, and the sexual violence prevalent in all levels of society, women’s voices celebrate their lives and examine their struggles through articles, essays, firsthand accounts, and verse. Lesbian feminists, political feminists, spiritual feminists, heterosexual-womanist women, mothers, scholars, attorneys, poets, medical and mental health professionals, educators, environmentalists, and detransitioning women all boldly vocalize their unique perspectives and universal experiences. The contributors to Female Erasure know that their views are controversial, and many people will oppose their work. But they refuse to be silenced by critics, striving instead toward deep, meaningful discussion with readers about the biases of modern society and the future of women’s rights.

In different voices, this compendium of articles shows how transgenderism is erasing the reality of what it means to be a woman. There are some marvelous essays in Female Erasure that make this book the recent go-to analysis of gender identity as “an inherently misogynist idea.” ~ Janice G.

Kelly’s magic gold key has been stolen and, along with it, her memory of the magical doors. The thief is well-known dog burglar, Smiffy Jones: a white fluffy dog who steals unattended trousers in the middle of the night. Toby and Kelly must get the key back before it falls into the wrong hands and puts the magical doors at risk. They hunt for Smiffy across rope bridges over bubbling mud, look for clues in time-bending ponds, and try to avoid being captured by silly giants. Will they find Kelly’s key before it’s too late?

Toby's bedroom door has suddenly let him and his sister, Kelly, into the world of magical doors then vanished. With advice from a giant burping worm, an invisible sneezer, a granny in a banana-firing bubble-ship, and other hilarious creatures, Toby and Kelly must try to find their way home. The Keeper of the Doors is the only one who can really help, but surely he can’t be the stinky mud-pie-hurling loony chasing them through the door-worlds?
