Miriam Grossman is an American psychiatrist and activist for the safety and health of children in the face of extreme gender ideology. She is an opponent of the vicious practice of so-called gender affirming medical care for and opposes sex education in schools, which she describes as a "Marxist approach to human development". She is the author of several books, including “Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness,” in which she exposes the violence and horrors being performed under the guise of “healthcare.”

Views and activities

Grossman is a senior fellow of Do No Harm, an organization known for its support of bans on transgender healthcare,[2][3] and a psychiatric consultant for the American College of Pediatricians,[4][2] an organization known for its opposition to abortion, gender-affirming care, and marriage equality and support of conversion therapy.[2]

Grossman has endorsed conversion therapy for gay people.[5][6] In 2013, she spoke at a religious World Congress of Families conference in Australia in opposition to same-sex marriage.[5]

In 2024, she attended a conference hosted by the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity (formerly the "National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality").[7]

Grossman opposes gender-affirming care for transgender people.[3] She has been involved in amicus briefs arguing against gender affirming policies.[8] Grossman wrote an affidavit in support of a Canadian father's attempt to block his teenage transgender son from taking testosterone; the court ruled in favor of the child.[8] Grossman co-authored amicus briefs and commentaries with members of ACPeds and worked with them and members of the Catholic Medical Association to support Florida's ban on Medicaid coverage for gender affirming care.[2][9]

Grossman is an opponent of sexual education in schools, which she describes as a "Marxist approach to human development".[10] In 2013, she was commissioned by a New Zealand conservative lobby group, Family First, to author a report which condemned sex education in the country.[11] Critics argued that sex education aims to reduce high-risk behavior and improve sexual health and safety of young people.[11]

Grossman appeared in Matt Walsh's 2022 film What is a Woman?.[12][8] In 2023, Grossman participated in the detransition media project Identity Crisis, which was founded by the Independent Women's Forum.[9]
