The discussion will be led by FAIR Los Angeles co-lead Sugi Sorensen. Shrier, a former writer for the <i>Wall Street Journal<\/i> and now independent journalist and writer, wrote <i>Irreversible Damage<\/i> as the culmination of a multi-year project researching a shocking phenomenon brought to her attention -- the skyrocketing increase in teen girls coming out as \"trans gender.\" Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria\u2014severe discomfort in one\u2019s biological sex\u2014was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than 0.01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively. But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as \u201ctransgender.\u201d These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans \u201cinfluencers.\u201d\n\nUnsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and \u201cgender-affirming\u201d educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls\u2014including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility. Come join the discussion of Shrier's book on March 30th. The book selection coincides with a FAIR LA webinar on \"Gender Ideology, Gender Dysphoria, and Teens\" planned for May 2022.<br><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
