Abigail Krauser Shrier is a journalist for the Wall Street Journal and the author of the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters which has proved controversial for its views about transgender issues and its use of unreliable testimony.[1]:ch Introduction[2][3]
In 2020, her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters[7][8] was published by Regnery Publishing. The book was based on and supports the theory of socially mediated gender dysphoria,[9] citing a widely discredited[10][11][12][13] descriptive study published by Lisa Littman in a 2018.[14] The study notably did not include any trans people, rather parents of trans children were recruited from various anti-trans web forums.[15][16][17] The book also repeatedly misgenders subjects of discussion, for example Shrier repeatedly referred to Leela Alcorn, a trans woman who committed suicide after she was forced to undergo conversion therapy,[18] by male pronouns.[1]:ch 3.5 In July 2020, Shrier appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to discuss her views on transgenderism.[19] Her book has proved controversial for its views about transgender issues[6][20][21] and has been described by the author[22] and other commentators as subject to a campaign of censorship.[23][24] It was first withdrawn,[25] and then reinstated, by retailer Target. The Economist has described the book as the "first book-length study of a fascinating phenomenon" but also noted that "it has been widely ignored".[26] By contrast, a reader erected a billboard in Los Angeles in support of the ideas in the book.[27] Her book has been criticized by mental health experts for misinterpreting and omitting scientific evidence to support her claims.[3] It's an Economist Book of the Year,[28] and a Times of London Best Book of 2021 for its UK publication.[29]
Shrier has described social media as playing an influential role in girls' decisions to become transgender.[30]
