Irreversible Damage

'Every parent needs to read this' Helen JoyceUntil just a few years ago, gender dysphoria - severediscomfort in one's biological sex - was vanishingly rare. It was typicallyfound in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood,and afflicted males almost exclusively.But today whole groups of female friends in colleges and schoolsacross the world are coming out as 'transgender'. These are girls who had neverexperienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard acoming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internetcommunity of trans 'influencers'.Unsuspecting parents now find their daughters in thrall toYouTube stars and 'gender-affirming' educators and therapists, who pushlife-changing interventions on young girls - including medically unnecessarydouble mastectomies, and hormone treatments that can cause permanent infertility.Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal,has talked to the girls, their agonised parents, and the therapists and doctorswho enable gender transitions, as well as to 'detransitioners' - young womenwho bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out astransgender immediately boosts these girls' social status, Shrier finds, butonce they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back.
