Irreversible Damage
The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
Book • 2020
In this book, Abigail Shrier delves into the phenomenon of rapid-onset gender dysphoria among adolescent girls.
She discusses how this condition, once rare and typically found in males, has suddenly become more prevalent among female teenagers.
Shrier attributes this rise to social contagion, influenced by internet communities, school assemblies, and 'gender-affirming' educators and therapists.
The book critiques medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, highlighting the risks and long-term consequences.
Shrier also interviews girls, their parents, counselors, doctors, and 'detransitioners' to provide a comprehensive view of the issue and offers advice for parents on how to protect their daughters from this trend.
