Summary

There’s a new “reality” spreading, and the mere act of questioning it is incredibly dangerous. Just ask Wall Street Journal investigative journalist Abigail Shrier. Her book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” exposes the radical gender activism that — just like critical race theory — has overtaken our children’s schools and culture. But even worse, Shrier argues it could end your parental rights for good. She is by no means “anti-trans,” but simply speaking up against the extremes of this new “reality” has made her enemy number one to the activists. Recently, the American Booksellers Association even called sending her book to others “a serious, violent incident.” Abigail joins Glenn to lay out just how slippery this slope has proven to be and what we — conservatives and liberals — must do to protect our children.

0:04.8

For example, only a few years ago, the phrase,

0:07.2

only women can give birth wouldn't be controversial at all.

0:11.3

Now, saying that can get you banished from social media.

0:16.2

In reality, it's all a distraction. They don't want us to see what they're actually doing.

0:21.1

We're not supposed to notice that until about five years ago,

0:24.6

only about 0.01% of the population identified as transgendered.

0:31.7

Before 2012, there was no scientific literature on girls ages 11 to 21 ever having developed gender dysphoria at all.

0:42.1

Now, pre-pubescent girls account for the majority of cases. What's happened?

0:47.5

In 2007, there was only one gender clinic in America. Today, there are over 300.

0:54.3

This should be concerning because something is changing.

0:58.8

But the left's response to our concerns is to blame us for the problems that I believe they are causing.

1:05.0

Discourse is not a part of their tactic. They'll hurl some insults call you a transphob,

1:11.8

and then they are backed up by the mob, a mob that includes Twitter,

1:15.9

the mainstream media, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and now the federal government right up to the office

1:22.1

of the president of the United States. I want to introduce you to somebody very controversial.

1:28.5

She's an investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal, and she has focused on the

I can't recommend it highly enough. Irreversible Damage. Every parent, every grandparent,

1:53.8

especially if you have daughters or granddaughters, you have to read this book because something is

changing in the world. It's author because she's speaking the truth, the facts.
