About this listen
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.

A necessary read for a troubled generation
With plenty of real word stories and thought provoking analysis Shrier pushes a more insightful understanding of the dangers of allowing teens to form their identity online. The insight and discussion is littered with practical advice and hope for the future of our daughters.

The book is a must read.
A excellent example of investigative journalism.
The book is very well produced and is a example of a conversation that must be had for the sake of generations of children.

Finally some answers to this insanity!
Definitely read if you have children, and get your kids out of the school system! It’s not safe there.

Great listen
This was a great listen. It was clear and logical. It was informative and with plenty of anecdotes and references to evidence. Near the end, I was in tears but then also smiling with the hopeful ending. Every mother of girls should read this.

This information is needed
Excellent, objective look at this concerning trend & so helpful for parents going through this. Highly recommended. My advice to parents is to get into therapy yourself and connect to your child away from technology.
