Summary
Hasta hace apenas unos años， el trastorno de identidad de género —la sensación de grave incomodidad en el sexo biológico propio— era muy infrecuente。 Se daba en menos del 0，01 por ciento de la población， aparecía durante los primeros años de infancia y afectaba de manera casi exclusiva a los hombres。
Pero hoy en día， en las universidades， los institutos e incluso las escuelas primarias grupos enteros de amigas afirman ser "transgénero"。 Son niñas que nunca han experimentado incomodidad alguna con su sexo biológico hasta que alguien da una conferencia en su escuela sobre su experiencia trans， descubren la comunidad de influencers trans en internet o alguien les dice que serán más populares entre sus amigos y en sus redes sociales si se declaran transexuales。
Padres que hasta entonces no habían sospechado nada descubren que sus hijas están enganchadas a estrellas trans de YouTube。 Y educadores y terapeutas "afirmadores de género" empujan a chicas que aún no han llegado a la edad adulta a adoptar cambios irreversibles que les afectarán de por vida， como dobles mastectomías y bloqueadores de la pubertad que pueden causar infertilidad permanente。
Abigai Shrier， periodista del Wall Street Journal， ha investigado la moda trans， hablado con las chicas， con sus angustiados padres y los consejeros y médicos que llevan a cabo las transiciones de género， así como con las jóvenes que， al acercarse a la edad adulta， se arrepienten amargamente de haberse sometido a ese proceso en su adolescencia。
Y con ello ha generado una enorme polémica， recibiendo acusaciones de transfobia y peticiones públicas de que se censure el libro。 Algo que， afortunadamente， no han conseguido。

A lot of interesting and new information for me。 I am curious to hear from more teachers or administrators or people who are currently involved with the adolescent population for more study。 This is a tough topic and she certainly shares information about the medical field that was new， surprising， and inspired curiosity。

Despite the reviews purporting this book to be hateful， transphobic， and "indistinguishable from racist eugenics，" anyone reading it through an objective lens will see that Shrier genuinely cares about trans people。 I had to laugh when I saw her labeled "right-wing。" What does that even mean？ She used to work for Planned Parenthood， and her politics are clearly left of center。 Name-calling is nothing more than a bullying tactic to scare your average person away from reading the genuine data she Despite the reviews purporting this book to be hateful， transphobic， and "indistinguishable from racist eugenics，" anyone reading it through an objective lens will see that Shrier genuinely cares about trans people。 I had to laugh when I saw her labeled "right-wing。" What does that even mean？ She used to work for Planned Parenthood， and her politics are clearly left of center。 Name-calling is nothing more than a bullying tactic to scare your average person away from reading the genuine data she has to present。 From the get-go， Shrier distinguishes between the trans community， and those impressionable teenage girls she suspects may be under the sway of a social contagion。 She repeatedly affirms the rights of trans people to live a happy， fulfilling life。 The list of people she interviewed for this book include doctors and experts from all sides of the issue， trans-identified males and females （both transitioned and detransitioned）， parents of trans youths from different backgrounds （one， a lesbian couple）， and even certain LGBT influencers。 She is gracious to all of them， but relentless in seeking out the truth。 Perhaps part of the reason why Shrier has angered transactivists so much is because she compares gender dysphoria to eating disorders， which touches a tender nerve。 It may also be due to the fact that more than one of her interviewees blew the whistle on the deception tactics common in the radical activist communities。 School officials and trans adults on the internet are perfectly content to encourage minors to deceive their parents， secretly obtain drugs， and even run away from home， as long as the minor in question feels confused about their sex。 This is considered virtuous because anything less than total affirmation from said parents constitutes bigotry。 On the contrary， most of the parents Shrier interviewed were supportive of their child's "transition" until they recognized behavioral red flags and mental health issues increasing， rather than decreasing， through the process。 I found the author's courage and compassion admirable。 I will recommend this book to all of my parent-friends who have kids in school， as well as any of my friends who claim/want to love the trans community。 。。。more

The loudest reviews here don’t appear to have the understanding of someone who has read the book。 It’s a sobering and well-researched look into the transgender craze and its impact that will live on for years。

I was hesitant to read this book as many said the author was transphobic， and everyone is entitled to his/her take on things。 But I don't think it is hateful to look at the spike in teenage girls transitioning to boys and question why this is happening。 Anyone who works with teenage girls （particularly middle class， white girls） has seen this spike， and it is worth looking into why， particularly as we don't see this with teenage boys transitioning to girls。 If we did， then I think we could attri I was hesitant to read this book as many said the author was transphobic， and everyone is entitled to his/her take on things。 But I don't think it is hateful to look at the spike in teenage girls transitioning to boys and question why this is happening。 Anyone who works with teenage girls （particularly middle class， white girls） has seen this spike， and it is worth looking into why， particularly as we don't see this with teenage boys transitioning to girls。 If we did， then I think we could attribute it to a more accepting/open culture and leave it mostly at that。Although I didn't agree with everything the author had to say， I found the book interesting and thought-provoking。 It relies heavily on anecdotal accounts， which makes it a great read， but we know anecdotes aren't always reliable。 A critique could be that it sides too readily and heavily with parents。 I do see that， but now as a parent myself and the friend of many parents， I don't think parents are （usually） the enemy and completely off the mark with their own kids。 This book is， after all， for parents。 Although trans men are interviewed， this book isn't about trans men or for trans men， who are adults who know who they are。 Looking at my own biases， any book that is going to reaffirm my belief that smart phones are harmful to children's mental health and overall happiness is something I am quick to side with。 Overall， I enjoyed reading this and the critiques （some great， some clearly ignorant） of this book and the general topic of transgenderism and teenage girls。 。。。more

Anyone with a daughter should read this。 I was afraid it would prove to be anti-LGTBQ in some way but it absolutely is not。 It’s well researched and connects the struggles of adolescents with today’s social media rage and fear of everything in the world。

Teen years for females are hard， and as the book points out even harder in today's world。 Today's version of the "Salem Witch Trials" appears to be gender dysphoria （adolescents who suddenly identify as trans）， and in prior decades the author points out it was something equally disturbing -- repressed memory， cutting， anorexia/bulimia， teenage pregnancy， body sculpting， etc。。。BUT， with the rise of social media， the next generation is seeing difficult puberty emotion as something to medicate， see Teen years for females are hard， and as the book points out even harder in today's world。 Today's version of the "Salem Witch Trials" appears to be gender dysphoria （adolescents who suddenly identify as trans）， and in prior decades the author points out it was something equally disturbing -- repressed memory， cutting， anorexia/bulimia， teenage pregnancy， body sculpting， etc。。。BUT， with the rise of social media， the next generation is seeing difficult puberty emotion as something to medicate， seek therapy for， or remove。So glad I am not raising females in today's world。 There are so many terms that did not exist when I was a teen （non-bianry， bisexual， cis gender， autogynephile， social/medical/surgical transition， glitter family） Fads die off。。。will this one？ What's next？？ 。。。more

No， I haven't read this book nor do I have any interest in reading this book。 To call transgender an epidemic like it's a disease tells me all I need to know what this author thinks。 Transgender isn't a disease because there is nothing to cure。 The reason these teenagers are coming out after a school assembly is because they feel safe enough to do so。 The brain is a very complex thing and if someone feels they are a woman or a man who are we to argue it？ There are more people coming out because No， I haven't read this book nor do I have any interest in reading this book。 To call transgender an epidemic like it's a disease tells me all I need to know what this author thinks。 Transgender isn't a disease because there is nothing to cure。 The reason these teenagers are coming out after a school assembly is because they feel safe enough to do so。 The brain is a very complex thing and if someone feels they are a woman or a man who are we to argue it？ There are more people coming out because we have a more accepting community。 I'm sure this author has some good points but to still call transgender people a disease is degrading。 How are you going to disregard these people's feelings even if in your opinion you think it's wrong？ It's their bodies if they feel like they need to change it that's their decision。 For anybody to say that's wrong is an awful person。 。。。more

Parents: if you have a pre-adolescent， or adolescent daughter， read this book！ In spite of the spate of one-star reviews， this book is well-researched， well-written and delivers a timely report on the growing transgender craze that has attained cult-like following， and， worst of all， doing permanent damage to an innocent， unwary generation of girls。 Not an easy read。

Abigal Shrier has done the world a great service by writing this book。 She has exposed the devastating consequences of decisions that are based on feelings。 This book is a good illustration of the proverbial “getting the cart before the horse” saying。 There is a danger in putting feelings before facts。 She probes carefully and intentionally into the lives of those who believe that they are someone that they are not。 This book will shock， anger， inform and sadden you。 But it must be read。 Daughte Abigal Shrier has done the world a great service by writing this book。 She has exposed the devastating consequences of decisions that are based on feelings。 This book is a good illustration of the proverbial “getting the cart before the horse” saying。 There is a danger in putting feelings before facts。 She probes carefully and intentionally into the lives of those who believe that they are someone that they are not。 This book will shock， anger， inform and sadden you。 But it must be read。 Daughters and sons need rescuing。 Language alert for chapter ten。 I would have given it five stars but for the language。 。。。more

I should start this review by saying this， I read to learn。 To be entertained。 To gain perspective。 To understand and empathize。 I don’t believe that having an accurate view of ANYTHING means only examining it from the point of view of which you agree with or should I say， that agrees with you。 I think， especially in today’s political and social climate， people seek out information， not to learn， but to USE as ammunition to justify things they’ve already decided upon。 I don’t want to be that per I should start this review by saying this， I read to learn。 To be entertained。 To gain

with you。 I think， especially in today’s political and social climate， people seek out information， not to learn， but to USE as ammunition to justify things they’ve already decided upon。 I don’t want to be that person and so I decided to read this book。 When I came across it， my initial reaction was… aversion。 But being a mom of two young girls， who will one day not be so young， I thought maybe with all of the “research” associated with this book I might learn something。 My honest review is this…this book for me was， for lack of a better word， useless。 While I don’t doubt the anguish that the families of these young girls felt is real， it seemed VERY cherry picked to me。 For example， for every anecdote the writer felt the need to preface the story with the fact that the family was “politically liberal”， “progressive”， “GAY”。 This for me was the equivalent of telling someone you have a black friend so you can’t be racist。 Or the old “I’m not racist BUTTT” [insert eye roll here]。 The author also concocted this narrative that parents were TOO supportive of their child’s mental and emotional needs and so therefore these kids had to “act out/rebel” in some way。 Yeah， me too。 But no amount of standard teenage rebellion was going to just make me transgender。 No matter how many times in my childhood I watched Mrs。 Doubtfire and saw my male cousin traipsing around in cut off denim shorts and high heels made me think “I should do that”。 Just like when friends of mine were having sex， dabbling in heroin and failing out of school。 I didn’t mindlessly do it。 Can I say the same for every girl out there？ No， absolutely not。 We know how important social media status and clout is these days…I mean just look at this author。 But these are teenagers。 How quickly we forget how it feels to be young。 Human beings are allowed to grow， learn， change their minds， and yes even fuck up。Am I saying that being transgender is a phase or a fuck up？ NO。 Which is what makes this book so dangerous。 For all those kids out there who ARE transgender or who are just trying to figure themselves out， this mentality is dangerous and closeminded。 It widens the divide between us （parents） and them （kids）。What I truly think is this book is a cleverly worded， highly notated， sky-is-falling story。 It’s bullshit。 The trans population accounts for less that 。5% of the US population。 We all know tweens and teens are impressionable， angsty and desperate to figure out who they are and where the belong in our society。 This path is never linear。 I think a LOT of parents forget this。 The anger in the community groups on Facebook and the petulant ramblings of a gaggle of suburban moms is proof enough that we don’t know our kids and we don’t REMEMBER how it feels to be a kid。 “A kid knocked over my garbage pail” “Call the cops” “where are the parents？！” “My kid would never do that”。 This mob mentality against younger generations is so unnecessarily harsh and aggressive。 EVERY older generation looked down upon “kids these days”。 The ONLY thing that stood out to me about this book was the very real repercussions of taking body altering medications and surgeries。 This is scary， yes。 BUT it’s also pretty scary when your kid comes home with a tattoo on their face， when they get on the back of a friend’s motorcycle， or wind up in a loveless marriage their whole lives。 What can you do？ Take away their toys？ Move to a different state？ Put them in conversion therapy？ You can’t control every decision your kid makes but you can try to be the kind of parent that gives them the tools to make good and healthy decisions… and sadly， that won’t always work either。 The thing I really disliked about this book was this notion that because these parents had raised， cared for， clothed， fed， educated and LOVED their kids， they felt an obligation from their children to love and respect them。 It breaks my heart to think this but my kids and your kids don’t owe us shit。 We don’t have children just to control them。 We raise children to be adults who are capable， intelligent， critical thinkers， and kind members of a society。 I believe that this book for all of its vitriol and misinformation is truly without value。 。。。more

Parents beware， there is a madness loose among adolescent girls。 Unfortunately， the politics of our time has made it impossible for even the most well-meaning of medical， psychological or educational helpers to interfere。 Arm yourselves with the facts， and try to save your girls before it is too late！ Should be required reading for every parent， doctor， psychiatrist， teacher， or anyone who works with adolescents。 They need adults to help them。 We can only do this if we are well informed。

Maybe it’s because I’m from the generation of the “daughters” in this book， but I would’ve preferred a lot less ‘back in my day’ reasoning。 It was comedic at best， insensitive at worst。 Shrier’s theories about the appeal of trans identification also had a conspiratorial lilt to them， framed to attract the paranoid parent’s alarm。 An unbiased exploration， instead， would have been more credible and arguably， less inflammatory。 However， the central criticism of affirmative care remains compelling。 Maybe it’s because I’m from the generation of the “daughters” in this book， but I would’ve preferred a lot less ‘back in my day’ reasoning。 It was comedic at best， insensitive at worst。 Shrier’s theories about the appeal of trans identification also had a conspiratorial lilt to them， framed to attract the paranoid parent’s alarm。 An unbiased exploration， instead， would have been more credible and arguably， less inflammatory。 However， the central criticism of affirmative care remains compelling。 I would hope more impartial professionals exist in reality， especially clinicians enabling irreversible surgeries to a highly suggestible population。 Giving it a 3rd star for the unpopular opinion。 。。。more

This book helped me understand what “gender dysphoria” means and how it has become a growing craze among young females in the last few years！ The case studies she cites and their follows ups， help open one’s eyes to the frightening scenario of how parents can easily “lose” their young daughters to an irreversible state by trans groups， facilitating their access to hormones and surgeries。 The internet in this case is the culprit， and the victims， young and confused girls！
