It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbigail Shrier, \u003c\/b\u003ea writer for the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal,\u003c\/i\u003e has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43119339569213,"sku":"9781684510313","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781684510313_p0.jpg?v=1776754445","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781684510313","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
