It is simply amazing the power the trans lobby has attained simply by glomming onto the LGB movement. They were allowed in and effected a total takeover. It's all about the T's now. The hyperwoke culture of social media gives them even more influence. Nobody would review this book ? Difficult to find a publisher ? It concerns one of the cultural trends of the current time, yet nobody would touch it like it was some guy in the Middle Ages claiming God didn't exist.

From what I gather the book's messages are one, that social fads exist and the digital age has ramped up their intensity, two, that teenaged girls should probably wait and do a bit of growing up before they make life changing decisions. What an awful message to have out there.

Welp, I've ordered it. Looking forward to seeing what all the cancelling is about.

Exactly, fastest way to get a book read is to ban it. I always wanted to read those naughty banned books! Usually they had no good reason for being banned shock

“She does think some people are really transgender”.

As I see it.. There is no such thing as “being transgender”. It’s an action, the action of transitioning. If someone does this action and finds relief they could not otherwise find, that makes them “transgender”.

There is no such thing as being inherently transgender. What is there is is severe dysphoria that we currently do not have the ability to cure, so the only viable treatment is transgender protocol.

uh-oh, "the only viable treatment" - I think a social movement, actual feminism, actually dealing with Internet-spawned fads like trans as a health issue/public health issue - are viable....transgender protocol is actually NOT "viable," stats regarding outcomes and detransitioning back this up. It's not viable to medically treat (surgically, hormonally) a psychological/social problem.
