Girls don’t need to be boys!

Read the reviews of Abigail Shrier’s book ‘Irreversible Damage’. A scary trend of teenage girls moving from anorexia,self-harm and suicide to wanting transgender identities and treatment including surgery. What, she asks is wrong with being a girl? They’re not defective boys. They’re different- vive la difference!
Puberty is just the time before girls blossom and enjoy their femininity. She’s been condemned and attacked for raising the issue of clinics rushing to offer surgery and transgender drugs rather than therapy first! We’ve had this issue here with the Tavistock taken to court over similar strategies. why would we do this to our children and not protect them until they’re able to understand the implications of such drastic moves, when shrier’s research shows many regret the steps they’ve taken. they cannot be reversed- deepened voices, mastectomies, face shape changes and infertility. Fine for those girls truly needing to be helped change their sex. But not a craze that can be disastrous and ruin a life.
