[i][b]New Book “Irreversible Damage” Is Full of Misinformation[/b]

[b]Shrier did not interview most of the transgender adolescents she wrote about.[/b]
The author’s note points out that she only interviewed their parents, who uniformly did not accept their children’s transgender identities. Many of them were estranged from their kids because the children were so hurt by their parents' rejection. To actually understand the psychology of these young people, one would need to talk to them, not simply rely on stories from parents with whom they do not speak.

Further arguing against Shrier’s objectivity is her [b]crass and offensive language [/b]throughout the book.

Shrier claims that “in most cases—nearly 70 percent—gender dysphoria resolves," and thus youth should not be provided gender-affirming medical care. [b]That statistic is false.[/b]

Shrier claims that a large number of kids who say they are transgender are actually LGB and afraid to say so because transgender identity carries less stigma than being LGB. [b]Actual data suggest otherwise.[/b]

Shrier states there is evidence that providing adolescents with puberty blockers makes them more likely to continue to identify as transgender. [b]That’s false.[/b]

[b]Shrier ignores all of the data [/b]showing that gender-affirming medical care results in improved mental health outcomes for transgender youth.

It’s anti-trans political propaganda.
