Autogynephilia — literally “to love oneself as a woman” — is controversial stuff. Men are not supposed to fancy themselves; at least they weren’t when I grew up in the Eighties. Back then, the idea that any of us might be “sexually aroused by the thought or image of our self as a girl” was unthinkable.
De jeunes vies mutilées : comment l’idéologie transgenre détruit le corps des filles et leur santé mentale
Un nouveau livre, Dégâts irreversibles, révèle comment des adolescentes sont dupées et persuadées abusivement qu’elles veulent être des hommes, et sont poussées à prendre des bloqueurs de puberté, des hormones sexuelles croisées et à subir des doubles mastectomies (retrait des glandes mammaires).
Many youngsters who present as gender dysphoric have mental health issues or have suffered abuse or trauma. Yet instead of probing these causes of distress, therapists are expected to accept their patient’s self-diagnosis.
Abigail Shrier’s ‘Irreversible Damage’ is a superb piece of investigative journalism that exposes the damage done to teenage girls by transgender ideology, but it divides opinion. Should controversial books ever be censored?
Das neue Buch “Irreversible Damage” enthüllt, wie Mädchen im Teenageralter vorgegaukelt wird, dass sie Männer sein wollen. Sie werden gezwungen, Pubertätsblocker und geschlechtsübergreifende Hormone zu nehmen und sich die Brust entfernen zu lassen.
«Непоправимый ущерб» — так называется недавно вышедшая книга, в которой рассказывается о том, как девочек-подростков обманным путём заставляют поверить в то, что они хотят стать мужчинами, и подталкивают к приёму препаратов для подавления полового созревания, гормонов и проведению двойной мастэктомии.
A new book, Irreversible Damage, reveals how teenage girls are being duped into believing they want to be male, and are pushed into taking puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and undergoing double mastectomies.
Whether it is a statement or a question, the title of this book conveys the necessary urgency of this desperately sad story. Amid the trans debate, seemingly a battle between grown adults, vulnerable children are prey to a malevolent ideology that survivors call a cult.
