Books Politics & Social Sciences Social Sciences
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE TIMES AND THE SUNDAY TIMES Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively. But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.” Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility. Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters. A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.

The book in question is:
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
It's a #1 Best Seller in LGBT Demographic Studies. (According to Amazon). See it for your self here.
I wasn't really interested in seeing what this is about, to be honest, I mean, live and let live, as long as no one is hurting someone else, let them live their lives as they want to, however they want to; but now with all the drama, I'd like to read this to see how much of it is total nonsense or not.

> the source of those claims are in the book: https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317
I'm not going to buy a book to try and find a source. Can't you just link the source, since you clearly know it. (After all, if you don't know the source, why are you trusting the claim.)
>for your first objection, i'm aware there might be a bias with parents, but the analogy you raise doesn't really make sense. the parents are not making an unfounded scientific claim about causation. they are giving a descriptive account of the behavior that they see in their kids.
And if you go looking at anticvax websites, you'll find that all the parents will claim that their kid became autistic right after the vaccine.
Bias is not just a possibility with the way this study was structured, it is guaranteed.

I think this falls afoul of the hippocratic oath. The primary goal or medicine is Do no harm. Transitioning after puberty is harder but no child is mature enough to make that decision clearly. We ought to default to avoiding an irreversible transition until we can be sure that its what the patient wants. An adult patient might regret not transitioning earlier but that risk is outweighed by the risk of a young child or teenager who is encouraged to make an "informed decision" that they are not capable of making.
Incidentally, Joe Rogan had author Abigail Shrier on the podcast to talk about this subject a few days ago. She wrote this book.

Haven’t gotten around to it yet, but the author’s interview on Rogan was a breath of fresh air.
The culture on the most popular social media sites will make you feel crazy for doubting that suddenly all of these definitely-not-attention-seeking teens are somehow swapping genders (and species, in the case of a notable Twitch personality).
I find the entire movement to be mass insanity perpetuated by a handful of quite radical folks.

This is a fascinating letter exchange between two mothers (Abigail Shrier and Heather Heying) about the rise of transgenderism in teenage girls, and what parents should do about it.
Abigail is the author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, and Heather is an evolutionary biologist.
Abigail:
>When parents call me about a teen daughter who suddenly identified as “trans,” they tell a strikingly similar story: A precocious, highly anxious and sometimes depressive girl with no childhood history of gender dysphoria hits puberty. She never perfectly fit in with other girls. But now, at 11 or 12 or 13, her social struggles intensify... Perhaps what these adolescents really want is not agreement but opposition. Parents who embrace their 14-year old’s announcement of being “pansexual” are inadvertently coopting her rebellion. What she wanted was to individuate. Her loving parents sabotage this attempt with the poison kiss of approval... Here, at last, was another explanation for why parents who indulged their teens’ gender journeys frequently found their daughters’ distress increasing. Anxiety is nearly universal among suddenly-trans identifying teen girls. By accommodating their daughters’ demands, some of the parents may have been making their daughters’ anxiety worse.
Heather:
>I believe that I have heard you say that parents who allow their children to transition are not guilty of child abuse. You have compassion for the parents, seeing—as do I—the strong societal winds that are blowing them in that direction. But parents are still responsible for the health of their children, and I do think it is child abuse. Keeping healthy teenagers from pharmaceutical and surgical intervention when they request it is, terrifyingly, difficult now. But it is necessary, and not to do so is an abdication of parental responsibility... I am a parent, and a progressive, but there is much in modern parenting that I have strong objections to. I arrive at my conclusions not through conservatism or religion, but through evolutionary biology. One of the values that seems to be embraced by progressive parents is the idea that parenting is friendship. My children are older than yours by a few years, and as my boys become young men I see the beginnings of the friendships that we will have. But imagining all of parenthood as akin to friendship quickly decays into imagining that it is not yours to instruct, to correct, to punish. We don’t correct our friends, by and large, so we don’t correct our children, the logic seems to go. This is insane.

In the media you hear a lot of trans acceptance and that’s trans people are real men / women just in the wrong body. Me personally , I don’t think trans should be discriminated against but it seems like we are going through “ trans mania “ right now and they are forcing it on people . I have read a lot of literally and research that many trans regret their transition and it has led to a lot of suicide , depression, life expectancy of mid 30s, and other health issues because we still are not 100% sure of the long term consequences of gender transition. How do you feel about websites like this : https://sexchangeregret.com/ Or books like this https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317
That both talk about people regretting sex change and that the increase in the number of people declaring themselves as trans dramatically increased . Do you think this kind of stuff is harmful? Have you read it? Why did you decide that you regret the transition? Have you met someone who transitioned younger but lived to be above the age of 65+?
Thank you for this AMA- I’m sure you can shed light on a different side of Trans the media doesn’t cover so much. Those who regretted it

I think he did not do a great job of expressing his concerns while still being supportive, but it can be difficult for a parent to accept this dramatic change after raising a child for so many years. However real it feels for you, it actually has become a trend, especially for young biological females. Abigail Schrier wrote a book on it.
He’s just worried about you making the wrong decision, regardless of how confident you feel now. I would just try to extend the empathy to him that you wish he’d give you, and understand him first before seeking to be understood.

It is a thing. Here's a recent book on it if you want to educate yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317
> Except for the people who thought the "gay agenda" was a thing
The notion that there is no such thing as biological sex and that gender is purely a social construct that varies independently is a notion embraced by our education system. Whether you want to call it a "gay agenda" is up to you, but there most certainly is an agenda at play, and that agenda is endorsed by organizations like the 519, which is a gay advocacy group.

> but if he wouldn't so much as concede that the title (and even cover image!) are problematic he's not arguing in good faith.
Pretty weird that you frame the issue of the problematic title as some concession to be extracted as show of good faith, considering that this very point is already addressed in the article.
" I confess to an instinctive discomfort with the book’s title — “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” — as redolent of the destructive trope long used against gay men as predators seeking to recruit and “seduce” children into becoming gay. And I know that the legal and cultural assault on trans people is very real, and fervently believe trans people have the absolute right to full legal protection of and respect for their identities (Shrier herself has repeatedly said she also believes this: “I fully support medical transition for mature adults,” she wrote in her Quillette article)."
A far more salient display of bad faith is someone that is eager to dismiss a book they obviously haven't read because the cover is a little too spicy for their ideological palette...Literally judging a book by it's cover.

Anyone who is 40 years old or older watched this entire homosexual agenda unfold in real time. There was no such thing as "trans" in the 80s and early 90s, and all of our high school classmates who turned out gay later in life dated the opposite sex throughout our high school years. Thus there is obvious, empirical they were not "born gay."
Homosexuality and this whole LGBT cult is simply a trend that gets you social media clout and fake praise from liberals. It's essentially a requirement to work in Hollywood, media or advance in large corporations. All any man, particularly black man, has to do is put on a dress and/or makeup, and he'll get his 15 minutes of fame on social media. One of my favorite books on this "trends-gender" phenomenon is a bestseller. Check it out.

well, first thing you need to understand is that any kind of questions related to someones identity is going to be instantly downvoted. But if you're a normal human being, you probably couldn't give two fucks about reddit karma. you should question anything that interests you. Never let the mob control your curiosity.
So, on the topic of your curiosity, I recently watched this clip, which made me watch the full podcast. She wrote a book. Some people will immediately think it's negative and somehow denying their right to live, but it's not about that at all. Haven't read the book yet, but I am planning on it. She interviewed over 100 trans teenagers and relays the information that is given.

>Why even have a public hearing about this?
Because teenage girls are declaring they're trans at a rate about 80x that of the general population and it's a legitimate problem.
These declarations are often brought about anxiety, wanting social validation, and social pressure.
It can sometimes result in young women who aren't truly trans having their breasts removed or starting a testosterone cycle, which can cause permanent damage.
For more info, look into Abigail Shrier's book, "Irreversible Damage", or check her out on Joe Rogan's podcast.

I highly recommend the book "Irreversible DamageIrreversible Damage" by Abigail Shrier. She talks about this exact thing in a very well-rounded way. Both sides are very well represented.
r/unpopularopinion Anyone who affirms a child in questioning their identity and helps them in their transition is not looking out for the true well-being of the child. Kids are kids. They don't have fully formed brains or fully functioning prefrontal cortexes. The youth trans-edemic is spurred on by activists and doctors who disregard medical standards and don't even pause to see if there is a deeper issue at play.

"Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters"
by Abigail Shrier
Hardcover – June 30, 2020
https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/
Irreversible Damage is an exploration of a mystery: Why, in the last decade, has the diagnosis "gender dysphoria," transformed from a vanishingly rare affliction, applying almost exclusively to boys and men, to an epidemic among teenage girls?
Author Abigail Shrier presents shocking statistics and stories from real families to show that America and the West have become fertile ground for a "transgender craze" that has nothing to do with real gender dysphoria and everything to do with our cultural frailty. Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups.
Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it—this book is for you.

Ignore my flair. How old are you now? Are you sure? Are you planning to transition? I ask this because while being trans kind of became fashionable, there is often serous regret post transition. Some of the people who at one point considered themselves trans were: young boys who are not above average in masculinity, gay guys, depressed men and women, boulemic girls. Transitioning is not something that you can undo.

>Doesn't it make sense that puberty would trigger gender dysphoria?
Transgender dysphoria / identity is lifelong, so that wouldn't explain the lack of coming-out in the same rate in older age groups.
Also, transgender identity actually manifests much earlier than puberty according to some individuals. after all, it is not suppose to be related to your sexuality.
>Is it high compared to the normal high rate of suicide in adolescence?
Yes. Also, recent years the rate of suicide in teenage girls have further increased from any other time.

That is certainly one (and the more rational/charitable) explanation of what abolish/defund the police means. However this is far from the unified and only interpretation of that message. There are no shit leftists who want no police. Look at the CHOP in Seattle and how that went.
> pay reparation > > This is far from a core belief of progressives, and I doubt we could ever figure out how to do it even if it were. Instead, we should just reinvest in all of americas poorest communities and properly fund and staff their schools. Thats the way to achieve what reparations would be aiming to do. At least thats my opinion. >
I agree that I don't think it could/would ever really work. That hasn't stopped people from calling for it.
from this article: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/11/18246741/reparations-democrats-2020-inequality-warren-harris-castro
"So far, several candidates have expressed some level of support for reparations: Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro have called the issue important or acknowledged how history supports calls for restitution. Other candidates have said they support studying the issue further.
Booker has been running on a policy that would help close the racial wealth gap, introducing a companion Senate bill to HR 40 calling for the federal government to study reparations. Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has argued that instead of reparations, his focus on policies helping distressed communities in general would particularly aid black communities. However, in April, Sanders said that he would sign a reparations bill if it came across his desk during his presidency and has since signed on to Booker’s reparations legislation.
The candidate most fervently backing reparations, though, is Marianne Williamson, a self-help guru and spiritual adviser who wants to set aside $200 billion to $500 billion for a reparations program."
> defense of riots > > I can't think of any progressive politicians that supported the rioting. You may be confusing empathy/understanding with defending. If your community/race is consistently the target, victimized and held back for decades/centuries by the US, your state, and white neighbors, why would you continue to care about the rules? If the society you're a part of makes it clear that you are not protected by the law, why would you care about the law anymore? (obviously not all white people are racist, but historically white people are the ones who legislated the repression of other races and black people in particular)
In fairness I can't produce a direct quote from a politician saying "I support the riots". But I can point to the behavior of the DA in portland who opted not to prosecute the vast majority of charged individuals arrested in months and months of destructive rioting as well as several democratic mayors/governors openly supporting the Black Lives Matter organization whose political aims and actions extend FAR beyond the literal phrase "black lives matter". Blacks Lives Matter Chicago came out after a night of looting of nike and gucci stores and called the looting "reparations".
> Gender/transgender issues > > Does it really matter to you enough to let yourself be fucked over by republican policies? Their gender has no impact on you whatsoever. I really don't understand why they feel the way they do. From my perspective, if trans and supporters say gender doesn't matter, then it wouldn't make sense to go through all the work to change it. That said, its a feeling alien enough to me that I won't insist that they conform to my world view. If it makes them feel ok and isn't hurting anyone then there's no reason to stop them. Mostly I feel that our personal choices shouldn't be restricted by laws unless its a proven harm to ourselves or others (which can be subjective in cases like this, but objective in cases like cigarettes or asbestos)
I don't care at all what someone decides to identify as or do in their own home. I care about the left, the party of science and advocates of climate science (which I believe in), totally turning their back on science when it comes to gender in the last ~5-10 years and leading a cultural blitzkrieg that pretends that a dude who decides he is actually a woman and has a dick is totally 100% a woman and you're a bigot if you don't think so. That men who went through puberty and then decided they are women should be competing against women and completely dominating women in women's sports. That encourages CHILDREN that they might be transsexual and advocates for CHILDREN to begin hormone therapy. There is a book that recently came out that touches on this: https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317/ref=sr_1_1?k
"Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively.
But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.”
Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility.
Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves.
Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.
A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path."
Now i'm not suggesting that there is some epidemic of young women doing irreparable harm to their bodies because of the social craze of transgenderism; but the fact that this is even a conversation is fucking crazy. I don't care what someone chooses to do to their own body or how they identify. But the attempt to normalize what is CLEARLY a mental disorder and abnormal (and I don't mean that disrespectfully) IS doing serious harm to our society.

I'm glad more people can come out as gay or trans these days because there's less stigma surrounding it.
However being trans used to be a very rare phenomena, around 0.1% of people would come out as being gender dysphoric, and in the past few years there's been an explosion of kids coming out as trans, much more than any reasonable estimates would assume there is in the population. It's also localized in certain areas, indicating social contagion. These kids are given hormones or sometimes life-altering surgery to affirm their gender, and the barriers to these solutions are being eroded in the name of social justice. Some of these kids are encouraged by their peers and school system to transition, despite the wishes of their parents.

It's also becoming taboo to question any of the latest wisdom about gender or LGBT ideology, to the detriment of scholarship and academic freedom. Sex scientists and sociologists don't want to go any where near anything to do with this stuff because it's so explosive, and so blatant falsehoods such as there being 900 genders are allowed to fester without questioning. If you go against the grain the extremists will go after you and threaten your livelihood. You can find more about that in this book as well:
