Kai asked this question about Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters:

This..... seems really transphobic. I understand that it's not actually saying trans people are invalid, or don't exist, but it is kind of saying that trans adolescents don't exist, which is not true.

There are a lot of trans people who were mentioned in this book (and mocked, I might add) without their consent. There are many video reviews detailing this and debunking her arguments.

It's horrifying to see that this book has positive reviews. I just hope that most of the people reading this aren't parents, and are just people seeking out a rationale for their discriminatory ideaologies.(less)
