Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier
1.0
slow-paced
This book is full of flawed science and bad surveys masquerading as science. The main study on 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria' interviewed exactly Zero trans people and solicited feedback from an anti-trans parenting forum.

This book is absolutely indistinguishable from racist eugenics. It proves the point that transphobia and racism are intertwined. Trans men are men, and not erasing women in any way. Go read Stone Butch Blues, its free and way better.

Edit: Shrier is among the same people saying treating your trans kids with love and compassion is child abuse while at the same time saying that kids should be taken away from loving families. I would ask what's the real irreversible damage? It's not letting your kid cut their hair.

Edit 2: The same bills Shrier supports (Banning all healthcare for trans youth) have now evolved into restricting gender affirming healthcare for people under 25!! You can run for congress, make decisions and lawsfor others, but still wouldn't be old enough for trans healthcare. You can guarantee the fight against our bodily autonomy will not stop with trans people. The same people against trans health are also against reproductive health.

Edit 3: I just want to say I 100% called it that even 1 month after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, Abigail Shrier has said absolutely nothing about reproductive rights. She's just endlessly tweeting about trans people. Sounds like she doesn't actually care about the wellbeing of women and pregnant people.
