Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
by Abigail Shrier
While it does raise some interesting points about trans activism, it can easily be misinterpreted as combative by actual transphobes. The nuances of this topic and the rhetoric around "transmedicalism" has to be subtle and careful, otherwise this book can actually be used to the detriment of trans individuals and contribute to pervasive violence against them. Separating the ideology from the people needs to be done better, and there should be a foreword explaining the legitimacy of certain trans people.
There can be a deep case made from this book on stopping medical transition for those under eighteen, but social transition and whether it's truly harmless... not so much tbh. Also, the constant saying that "adults' pronouns shall be respected" followed by the putting down of college-age trans people confused me, and although it was justified with the "prefrontal cortex doesn't develop till 25" thing, the legal definition of adult disagrees- it's 18, not 25.
Also, moving across the country is quite extreme-
