Irreversible Damage
Buy Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier on Amazon
So this is what Abigail Shrier's new book is about, because basically what you're saying and what she writes about is that in essence if you were to send a kid who was confused about their gender, which some kids could be part of growing up and puberty and everything else, so you send an 11-year-old girl who thinks she's a boy or wants to be a boy, basically you're sending her to a system that is designed not to help her think that through, and maybe say, 'Okay, wait on this.'
Peter Boghossian discusses Abigail Shrier's new book, 'Irreversible Damage,' which addresses how the system often fails to support children questioning their gender identity. He highlights the concern that this system does not encourage children to reflect on their feelings but rather pushes them toward transitioning.
