Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier
4.0
This book was really good very several reasons. One thing I really enjoyed was Shrier's writing style. Shrier has the capacity to be serious and humorous which makes her hard to chew topics more easily digestible. Her writing is clear and to the point so no time or energy is spent trying to decode the data. The book read quickly; normally nonfiction is a drag for me but I found myself getting through the book rather quickly compared to other nonfiction books I've read. I would have had the book finished quicker if I hadn't picked it up during finals week.
What else makes this book so incredible are the claims she presents. It is scientifically amazing that a group that has been historically dominated by men has seemingly overnight become dominantly female. To me, this book isn't a political statement but rather a review of recent events and a presentation of valid questions. Is Shrier completely correct in all of her claims? Maybe. Who knows? The point is that this is a conversation worth having if it means helping struggling youth.
