Abigail Shrier is the author of the new book, IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE; it's about how identifying as transgender has become a dangerous craze among teen girls.

She herself is conservative, but she's allied with WoLF and all sorts of GC feminists, parents' groups, lesbians to get the word out that this is a trend that's destroying girls and their families.

I have only seen excerpts, but Shrier has excellent credentials and seems to have done exhaustive research.

So please buy it and/or request it from your library. And, if you're American, try to get NPR to cover it and bring it up with your politicians, especially in states where Trans, Inc. have bought the Democratic party.

Is she actually 'conservative'? I know she had to go through a conservative publisher because no one else would take on her book - hence the praise from Ben Shapiro on the book jacket. I'm pretty sure she had tried to shop it everywhere else first.

Yes, read her Twitter, she's very conservative. But it's OK that she is conservative - many US conservatives are at the forefront of saving women's safe spaces and sports, as well as stopping the transitioning of minors.

And, in order to save women's rights, and children's mental and physical health, women and allies from across the political spectrum do have to come together on these pressing issues and leave our other political stances on other issues behind.

I've watched two or three of her book tour interviews, and I didn't get anything conservative about her. As long as she wants to conserve the legal definition of woman, I applaud her.

On this issue, she is with us and she is an excellent ally. She was on FOX NEWS with Veronica Ivy Rachel McKinnon and destroyed him. But on other issues, she's conservative.

For instance, she does videos for Prager Univ - Dennis Prager's outfit. She writes for the WALL ST JOURNAL Op Ed. An interview she did with Candace Owens kind of blamed women for some of our own problems, but that might have been her being polite and trying to get along with Owens.

I personally have no problem working with broad political coalitions on single issues. I've done it successfully in the past and will do it in the future. And you often find that people with whom you don't agree politically are often very nice on a personal level - I've stayed friends with some of them.

I fully concur. I've always considered myself leftist but - like a lot of leftists - I feel politically homeless. I never did 'do' tribalism. There was a time when I felt my lack of tribalism reflected weakness, now I think it's the opposite, and I'm so frustrated with friends and family members who regurgitate political talking points reflexively and aren't willing to think outside of their ideological box.

Mindless tribalism is killing the US. It didn't used to be like this: Democrats and Republicans used to work across the aisle. Now, so much legislation is voted straight down party lines.

And people used to be able to discuss politics civilly, bringing up their points in a respectful manner. Now, you're cancelled even by friends if you're not 1000000% behind what the Democrat or Republican party platform is currently. Dare you voice the slightest doubt about the latest madness, you're accused of being some sort of monster, even if you have facts behind you.

Witness the word "transphobia" being hurled at women trying to protect our own damn rights from MEN.

Something is going to give, and I fear what is going to happen...
