The chapter explores the speaker's personal encounters with body image struggles, including anorexia and bulimia contagion in young women, and their observations on the rise of teenage girls seeking to transition influenced by social contagion.

The chapter also delves into the implications of the current gender identity movement and its intersection with traditional civil rights activism.
