'Every parent needs to read this' Helen JoyceUntil just a few years ago, gender dysphoria – severe discomfort in ones 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 and schools across the world 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 now find their daughters in thrall to YouTube stars and 'gender-affirming' educators and therapists, who push life-changing interventions on young girls – including medically unnecessary double mastectomies, and hormone treatments that can cause permanent infertility. Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has talked to the girls, their agonised parents, and the therapists 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.

Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage" is a powerful and thought-provoking book that delves into the disturbing trend of transgenderism among young girls. With meticulous research and compassion, Shrier exposes the troubling factors that are contributing to this phenomenon, including the rise of social media, the influence of transgender activists, and the misguided policies of schools and medical professionals.

Shrier paints a vivid picture of the devastating impact that transgenderism is having on the lives of these young girls. She shares their stories of confusion, regret, and the lasting physical and psychological harm they have suffered as a result of transitioning. She also exposes the predatory tactics of transgender activists who target vulnerable girls and push them towards irreversible medical interventions.

But "Irreversible Damage" is not just a critique of transgender ideology. It is also a call to action. Shrier provides practical advice for parents, educators, and policymakers on how to protect girls from the transgender craze. She urges them to challenge the harmful narratives that are being promoted and to provide these girls with the support and guidance they need to navigate the complexities of adolescence.

"Irreversible Damage" is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our children. It is a wake-up call to the dangers of transgenderism and a call to action for those who want to protect our girls.
