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.

Eye Opening!

lots of great information and very honest and open. its time we talk about this specific topic and share the struggles of these impressionable teenage girls. Everyone is afraid to stand up and have a conversation.

A must read for parents of teens!

I loved the clear cut analysis of gender dysphoria. I can see why they want to ban this book, because it tells the truth about what is happening to our youth today and it doesnt fit the LGBTQ narrative.

What a Great Book

I was a bit hesitant to listen to this book as I work for a big tech company that frowns upon these topics. I am so glad I listened. If you have a young daughter and especially if you are very liberal, I highly recommend you listen to this book.

Compassion

The author took an honest and open minded look at this issue that tortures the youth of this generation particularly as it applies to young females. I was left feeling compassion and lost my previously held prejudices about people suffering from this mental condition.
Between Abigail Shrier and Dr Jordan Peterson I now realize that this is not an attention seeking scam and these people are actually suffering. I hope they can find some peace as adults but life altering decisions shouldn't be made as children especially when they are in a state where anything seems better than where they are.

Horrific... and important to read!

This book was a difficult listen... because the truth is sometimes painful. All I have to say is this: if you are struggling with transgenderism, or are the parent of a child struggling with transgenderism, my heart goes out to you. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read/listen to this book. In it you will find information that you probably haven't seen out there and that may help you before "irreversible damage" (hence the title) is done.
