Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

by Abigail Shrier

physician consultant on projects related to the health of pregnant women and preterm infants. Her work there had nothing to do with transgender youth; it had nothing to do with young children or adolescents per se at all. Her interest in preemies stemmed from her years of training in obstetrics. Caring for preemies had been a passion of hers ever since she had given birth to a preemie of her own, just over one pound at birth. The activists denounced Littman to her employer, the DOH, claiming that she had written a paper “harmful” to transgender youth. They demanded that the DOH “terminate its relationship with Dr. Littman immediately.” Adding a dash of threat, the authors airily suggested that the DOH might add “a gender-neutral restroom” to its facilities to send a message to the community “that trans and gender diverse lives are valued by DOH.” The activists wanted a head on a pike. The DOH gave them Dr. Littman’s. Her paid consultancy was over.

Has “activist” become a euphemism for “bully”? They certainly don’t seem to support academic freedom, free inquiry, or the 1st Amendment
