Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.

Hey everyone on Megan Kelly, welcome to the show. Today, the book that people don't want you to read, or us to talk about.

But guess what, we're going to do it. It's called irreversible damage, and it is important.

It's by Abigail Schreier, and it's been causing a lot of consternation.

The book is about the number of girls who are declaring themselves transgender, and how that number is skyrocketing in modern day America.

Abigail also touches on some really, really interesting ways of looking at feminism for lack of a better word, and the messaging we're sending our daughters about what they must be, and whether they're the right messages.

She's gotten all sorts of blowback for writing this thing, but as you know, we don't believe in third rails in discussions here in America.

So without further ado, quick add, and then we'll get to it.

I want to talk to you about black, rightful coffee.

First of all, I need to tell you about the bag. The bag is ingenious. It's good looking, as I mentioned before, but it is also very user friendly.

You pull off this little strip, sort of one quarter of the way down from the top of the bag, and then it reseals, and it's very easy to get in and out of the bag, but seal it up for freshness.

My husband and I were marking on it this morning. He wanted to make sure that you knew, so I'm telling you it's delightful.

What's inside the bag is even better. Black, rightful coffee, the company was founded by Evan Hafer, started after about 20 years in the US Army as an infantryman, special forces soldier, and CIA contractor.

So this guy started roasting his own coffee back in 06 to bring with him while serving our country overseas, and he modified his gun truck in the invasion of Iraq to grind his coffee.

I can't get over that. He founded the company in 2014, along with Army Ranger Matt Best as the combination of two passions, developing premium, fresh roasted coffee, and honoring and supporting those to serve on the front lines.

Abigail Shryer, thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for having me on.

Okay, so you were a writer for the Wall Street Journal. You went to Columbia, Oxford, and Yale Law School. So, you know, you're obviously a very smart person.

And what got you into writing this book, irreversible damage, and what preceded it, which was an article on the Wall Street Journal about gender dysphoria?

That's right. I wrote a piece actually just about gender pronoun laws. You know, these are the laws that assign criminal and civil penalties for failing to use someone's preferred pronoun.

And that's straightforwardly unconstitutional. I just pointed that out that in America, you can't, the government can't make people say things.
