Irreversible Damage - Teenage Girls And The Transgender Craze (Paperback)
Abigail ShrierUnsuspecting 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.

"Eye opener!" by Wendy K. -
Outstanding courageous book. Balanced, honest perspective and something every parent should read.
"A lesson in hate" by Noam L. -
Please do not buy this book, it cruelly mocks people and uses their images without consent, while actively advocating for hate.
"Transphobia in action" by Chris M. -
This book fell short of hate speech It focusses on trans people that access gender affirming healthcare. Although the author states it is about trans adolescents she also disrespects the trans and gender diverse adult by using incorrect pronouns. It is for her very important to state her own beliefs and ideas but forget that the book's subject is not her life. The author is critical of people that identifies outside of the gender binary and furthermore questions social media and its impact. Her advise is to take young people's smartphones away. Although she raise some concerns there are not any space for debate and she forefronts her beliefs and ideas. A complete waste of my time
