Publisher's Summary

International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and columnist Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity that “is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital” (Ben Shapiro, number-one New York Times best-selling author).

Is our gender something we’re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In The End of Gender, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today’s society.

Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today’s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.

The End of Gender is conversation-starting “required reading” (Eric R. Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) that will arm you with the facts you need to come to your own conclusions about gender identity and its place in the world today.

Relieving

A great look from the scientific perspective at the changing perspectives of sex and gender in our society. Gave me plenty avenues for further exploration and offered answers to some burning questions I had. The performance by the author was great.

Data over opinions

It's possible to disagree and still keep reading. This is part of the point of the author's message; science is being pushed down in the name of public opinion and feelings. I didn't always agree with they way some things were said in this book but I kept listening in order to get the scientific facts behind what she was saying and I think that's really opened my eyes. before, I might have decided to stop listening when it leaned a little too far to one direction but after finishing this book I feel that I have a more well rounded way of reading things. I'll wait to hear all of the data before tuning it out just because I don't quite agree with a statement. and that's the whole point of what she's trying to convey. It's not about the data per say, it's about what we DO with that data, how we perceive that data and how we judge others based on said data...

Extremely important and informative

This book is one of the most illuminating books I have ever read. For those that are longing for information dealing with Sexology, research, and the Trans movement based on science, this book will answer many of the questions you may have dealing with those areas. It is a plea for Truth.
