In the last decade, an exceptionally dangerous peer contagion has surfaced. Under the influence of friends and social media influencers, entire groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender” at alarming rates, defying all medical statistics. 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”—and rushed to undergo a faddish form of self-harm: irreversible gender treatment and surgery.

Abigail Shrier, a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into this alarming peer contagion in her new book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. Shrier has conducted nearly 200 interviews of trans-identified girls, their agonized parents, public school teachers, promoters of gender ideology, pediatricians, psychiatrists, world-experts in gender dysphoria, transgender adults, gender therapists, endocrinologists and the surgeons who perform gender surgeries, as well as to the “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves—and shares their shocking and heart-wrenching stories.

Unsuspecting 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. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of gender transition, it is not easy to walk back. Shrier offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.

A 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.
