Here's a freaking #Pride month book for you
Leave children alone
2020 was the year that broke a lot of people out of their ideological slumber. The machine dug too greedily, and too deep. But while most people associate that year with incompetent government overreach and dishonest racist grifting, there's a third leg of the tyrannical stool, and that's Marxist gender theory.
Abigail Shrier wrote a detailed treatise of the transgender craze with a specific focus on how it affects young girls. I remember hearing about it at the time. The gender-benders were *quite* upset and even got it banned from Target, but let's not pretend like that's hard.
(Suck on it, Target. You deserve what you're getting right now.)
Anyway, I finally got around to reading this one last week, and hot damn, it was heavy. Shrier breaks down not only the pervasive nature of this poisonous ideology, but also the speed and severity with which it takes hold of otherwise wholesome youths, especially girls. When she outlines the process wherein females get groomed online and then turn on their families, it hit me hard because I've seen it play out like that in real-time with people I know.
There are demons out there and they use the Internet to destroy people. Shrier's book points out this horror and explains how it works, and how it attacks in various ways.
If you've been paying attention to exposé accounts like LibsOfTikTok over the last three years, none of this will be new to you. Chances are, though, that you know people who haven't seen how radical teachers and professors teach young girls to turn against their families, to demand dangerous hormone injections, to access secretive amputation surgeries, or to live dual lives.
This is the book that will thoroughly and yet concisely bring people up to speed on the real-life horrors of transgender ideology. I can't summarize it better than that. As someone on Twitter put it, "Trans is the hill."
This is where sane and loving people make the stand. We've already ceded too much ground. The fact that this ideology exists at all, let alone enjoys the financial and legal backing that it has, is proof that we let this wound fester too long. Fight back. To know why, read IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE.
Content warning for language and body horror. Doesn't matter. Read it anyway.
By the way, I'm writing stories set in the post trans world where these kids find hope, despite what happened to them. I think suicide is going to be a huge issue, starting soon.
I know it's good, but I haven't read it. Already knew all that. And the body horror is part of why it's so hard to talk about. A lot of what needs to be said does induce body horror. People can't believe people would really do this to other people. And the issue isn't really the online stuff. It's how ALL the authorities react. There are online sites that promote anorexia too, after all. Not saying the online sites on this are good. Just saying that they are backed up by all the professionals that should be fighting this.
