Description
Abigail Shrier's book explores the rapid rise of transgender identity among young girls in the US, a phenomenon that has left many parents and experts concerned. Until recently, gender dysphoria was extremely rare, affecting less than 0.01% of the population and typically emerging in early childhood. However, in recent years, whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and middle schools have come out as transgender, often after being influenced by online communities and "gender-affirming" educators.
The author, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has spoken to girls, their parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to "detransitioners" who regret their decisions. She finds that coming out as transgender immediately boosts social status, but it's not easy to reverse the process. Shrier offers advice on how parents can protect their daughters from this trend and how to retrieve them from a potentially damaging path.
