c
ntil
just
a
few
years
ago,
“gender
dys-
.
phoria”—severe
discomfort
in
one
s
biological
sex—was
vanishingly
rare.
It
was
typically
found
in
less
than
.01
per­
cent
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
mid­
dle
schools
across
the
country
are
com­
ing
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
epi­
demic,
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
transgendc-
immediately
boosts
these
girls’
social
status,

IRREVERSIBLE
DAMAGE
“Abigail
Shrier
has
written
a
deeply
compassionate
and
utterly
sober­
ing
account
of
an
unprecedented
and
reckless
social
experiment
whose
test
subjects
are
the
bodies
and
psyches
of
the
most
emotion­
ally
vulnerable
among
us.”

Courage
is
a
rare
trait.
Abigail Shrier
has
it
in
abundance.
She
defies
the
politically
correct
tide
to
write
a
moving
and
critically
needed
book
about
a
terrible
new
plague
that
endangers
our
children—
rapid-onset
gender
dysphoria.’
This
book
explains
what
it
is,
how
it
has
spread,
and
what
we
can
do
about
it.
And
Irreversible
Dam­
age
is
as
readable
as
it
is
important.”
DENNIS
PRAGER,
nationally
syndicated
radio
talk
show
host
and
bestselling
author
of
The
Rational
Bible
“Abigail
Shrier
dares
to
tell
the
truth
about
a
monstrous
ideological
fad
that
has
already
ruined
countless
children’s
lives.
History
will
look
kindly
on
her
courage.”
—MICHAEL
KNOWLES,

Knowles

Gender
transition
has
become
one
of
the
most
controversial
issues
of
our
time.
So
much
so
that
most
of
us
simply
want
to
avoid
the
subject
altogether.
Such
evasion
can
be
just
the
thing
that
gives
the
majority
an
excuse
to
look
away
from
the
suffering
of
our
fellow
human
beings.
Abigail
Shrier
chooses
to
take
the
bull
by
the
horns.
She
dives
straight
into
this
most
sensitive
of
debates.
The
product
is
a
work
brimming
with
compassion
for
a
vulnerable
subset
of
our
population:
teenage
girls.
It
is
a
work
that
makes
you
want
to
keep
reading
because
it
is
accessible,
lucid
and
compelling.
You
find
your­
self
running
out
of
reasons
to
look
away.
A
must-read
for
all
those
who
care
about
the
lot
of
our
girls
and
women.”

“In
Irreversible
Damage,
Abigail
Shrier
provides
a
thought-provoking
examination
of
a
new
clinical
phenomenon
mainly
affecting
adoles­
cent
females—what
some
have
termed
rapid-onset
gender
dyspho­
ria—that
has,
at
lightning
speed,
swept
across
North
America
and
parts
of
Western
Europe
and
Scandinavia.
In
so
doing,
Shrier
does
not
shy
away
from
the
politics
that
pervade
the
field
of
gender
dys­
phoria.
It
is
a
book
that
will
be
of
great
interest
to
parents,
the
gen­
eral
public,
and
mental
health
clinicians.”

“For
no
other
topic
have
science
and
conventional
wisdom
changed—
been
thrown
away—more
rapidly
than
for
gender
dysphoria.
For
a
small
but
rapidly
growing
number
of adolescent
girls
and
their
families,
consequences
have
been
tragic.
This
urgently
needed
book
is
fascinating,
wrenching,
and
wise.
Unlike
so
many
of
the
currently
woke,
Abigail
Shrier
sees
clearly
what
is
in
front
of
our
faces
and
is
brave
enough
to
name
it.
Irreversible
Damage
will
be
a
rallying
point
to
reversing
the
damage
being
done.”

“Abigail
Shrier
has
shed
light
on
the
profound
discontent
of
an
entire
generation
of
women
and
girls
and
exposed
how
transgender
extremists
have
brainwashed
not
just
these
young
women,
but
large
portions
of
the
country.”

“Every
parent
needs
to
read
this
gripping
travelogue
through
Gender
Land,
a
perilous
place
where
large
numbers
of
teenage
girls
come
to
grief
despite
their
loving
parents’
efforts
to
rescue
them.”
—
HELEN
JOYCE,
senior

writer

the
Economist
“Shrier’s
timely
and
wise
exploration
is
simultaneously
deeply
com­
passionate
and
hard-hitting.
First
carefully
laying
out
many
of
the
physical,
psychological,
and
societal
effects
of
the
‘transgender
craze,’
she
then
points
to
the
inconsistencies
within
the
ideology
itself.
This
book
deftly
arms
the
reader
with
tools
for
both
recogniz­
ing
and
resisting,
and
will
prove
important
for
parents,
health
care
professionals,
and
policy
makers
alike.”
—HEATHER
HEYING,

biologist
and
visiting
pro­
fessor
at
Princeton
University
“Writing
honestly
about
a
difficult
and
vital
topic,
Shrier
compas­
sionately
analyzes
the
evidence
regarding
rapid-onset
gender
dys­
phoria
(ROGD),
a
phenomenon
declared
off-limits
by
many
in
the
media
and
the
scientific
establishment.
Shrier simply
isn’t
willing
to
abandon
the
future
of
a
child’s
mental
health
to
propagandistic
political
efforts.
Shrier
has
actual
courage.”
