Story
In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

Story
Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex. People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.

Do you think mainstream America needs to find its voice? If so, you’re not alone. The country is under attack by extremists at the fringes who put ideology before sanity and stoke division for their own gain. They are trying to rob America of its common sense and deny empirical truths, and we’re all suffering the consequences.

The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), based at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in North London, was set up initially to provide - for the most part - talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity. But in the last decade GIDS has referred more than a thousand children, some as young as nine years old, for medication to block their puberty. In the same period, the number of referrals has exploded, increasing thirty-fold, while the profile of the patients has changed, from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls.

Most Americans do not understand the real threat that the “transgender” agenda, or the so-called “gender identity” movement, poses to all of us—especially women and girls—nor do they understand the extent to which it is taking over US law and civil society. The simple truth is that “gender identity” functions to abolish sex, and all of our civic institutions—government, media, academia, and business—have been completely captured by it.

Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

Story
Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it.

The left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory. But we can't let them win. As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what's truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening.

America is in crisis, from the university to the workplace. Toxic ideas first spread by higher education have undermined humanistic values, fueled intolerance, and widened divisions in our larger culture. The Diversity Delusion argues that the root of this problem is the belief in America’s endemic racism and sexism, a belief that has engendered a metastasizing diversity bureaucracy in society and academia.

Publisher's Summary
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.

There's better ways to learn about this topic.
This book had some very interesting points, but honestly, was diluted for me by misleading facts, and crass language used as a tool to uplift her argument, and put down everyone who disagrees with her.
An example of the misleading facts: In a point in the book she argues that it is unbelievabley easy for transgender men to receive top surgery, even at a young age. Later in the book she references data where nearly 100% of female to male trans children in a European country who started medically transitioning, went on to get top surgery. What she excluded from that, was the fact that to even begin medically transitioning in that country, those children had to undergo a year of rigorous physcological examinations.
She also refers to the young trans men as just girls in her writings, as to invalidate their perceived identities, and hamhandedly support her argument that they aren't trans men at all.
If you are interested in looking into the topic in this book, I recommend doing the research yourself, as the way it's presented here again, is formatted in a way that is heavily biased, and often excludes critical information from the data and studies she's referencing.

Parents and Teachers - Please read
Final Message: Do whatever you can to keep your children close. As a teacher, a grade 8 teacher, I am seeing the message this book offers becoming more and more of a need. Fifteen years ago, this phenomenon was non existent in the population of teenage girls. This year, I have so many examples in the cohort I work for. Speaking out in my position is not easy, or better yet described as career limiting. This may be a story follow up. How is it that medical and educational professionals can be hamstrung if they take the stance suggested in this book? What has happened to freedom, truth, and reason? This book will leave you with questions about the next steps. These are valuable questions.

Did Some Reviewers Even Read This Book?
An interesting and insightful listen. This book was much less polarizing, and more accepting of gender dysphoria than I had been led to believe by some reviews I had read/heard online. Reminded of the "Satanic Panic" growing up, this book doesn't dismiss the validity of gender dysphoria in those suffering, but brings attention to a situation that my be more complex, and requiring a greater conversation about it's nuances.

Someone said what needs to be said
Just because a topic is controversial should not make it taboo. A discourse needs to be had for as the title implies the damage can be irreversible. When making an unalterable decision we should take due diligence and have a proper conversation. This book explores the transgender phenomenon with the great detail and scrutiny the mainstream media and medical community refuse to apply. I hope this book gets the ball rolling on a wider discourse and challenges the current narrative.

it all makes sense.
It certainly has been peculiar to watch as the educated elite impose a redefinition of woman completely detached from material reality. Understanding the profile of child who embraces this belief makes it understandable but no less disturbing. Well researched and offers many perspectives.

This book is informative, it sheds light on a situation society has deemed “too sensitive to discuss”. It reveals the corruption and political ideologies that are physically mutilating young women and the lies being peddled to them but “trusted” figures.
