Story
Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Story
In The War on the West, international best-selling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is a history of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? It’s become, he explains, perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech.

Story
Critical race theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, critical race theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, critical race theory is race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it.

The Vision of the Anointed is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. In this book, "politically correct" theory is repeatedly confronted with facts-and sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

Always trust your feelings. Life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. And yet they have become increasingly woven into education, culminating in a stifling culture of 'safetyism' that began on American college campuses.

Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex. People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.

Free speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years, it has come to be mistrusted. A new form of social justice activism, which perceives language as potentially violent, has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. Governments throughout Europe have enacted 'hate speech' legislation to curb the dissemination of objectionable ideas, Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating to ensure that they control the limitations of public discourse, and campaigners in the US are calling for revisions to the First Amendment.

The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: Gender is a social construct. Race is a social construct. Class is a function of privilege. The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. It is not a story to be feared. But it is a story that needs telling.

How to moderate your thoughts and speech
- By Karen on 15-11-19
Summary
International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and columnist Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity that “is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital” (Ben Shapiro, number-one New York Times best-selling author).
Is our gender something we’re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In The End of Gender, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today’s society.
Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today’s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.
The End of Gender is conversation-starting “required reading” (Eric R. Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) that will arm you with the facts you need to come to your own conclusions about gender identity and its place in the world today.

Finally!
I was beginning to think I was losing my mind these days. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author also gives measured responses and reiterates that this information is not for dismissing the transgender community. So anyone saying that this is just a baseless attack on transgender people, clearly hasn't read the book.
A definite eye opener on what we allow to happen in society if we continue to not voice Opposing opinions.

This is a hateful book masking itself as educational
Despite Debra stating that this was a scientific approach to gender I found this book extremely biased an non scientific. Many times she states that there isn’t evidence against her claims when that simply isn’t the case. I have come across such a vast amount of evidence specifically countering her points throughout my time in academia. She tactfully presents the information in a way that supports her prejudice and I honestly found this book deeply disturbing and upsetting. The fact that she states that she respects trans and non-binary folks yet spends an entire book essentially invalidating their existence is heartbreaking. Could not recommend less. There are so many better resources for people to learn about gender. Please do not read this book ESPECIALLY if your a parent with a child questioning their gender identity.

Balanced and Compassionate But Also Science Led
This is a brilliant book, read by the author which I always think is best for non-fiction. This book gives an overview of the ideological capture of the sciences and scientists researching sex, sexuality and gender and the effect of trans ideology on the discussion around rights and treatment. Soh is always compassionate and considerate towards trans people during these discussions and never suggests that Trans people don't exist or that they should be able to transition or that they should not have all the rights everyone else has. She brings her background in Sexology to bear on the controversial subject of Trans and TERFs and clearly outlines the myths on both sides of the debate along with an overview of the scientific evidence.
This is an important book to add to the debate and it is a shame that the Trans lobby have been attempting to discredit the author since she first started writing about these issues.

An okay book.
Honestly, didn't love it. There was quite a bit of bias in this book which made me question whether the author was cherry-picking studies. However, if your new to learning about gender, transgenderism and the differences of sexes, then I do suggest this book as long as you go in with a critical mind. I was hoping for a more in-depth conversation discussing why more people are choosing to define themselves as gender non-conforming and the increase in transgender people. There was some discussion, but I guess I had really hoped for more so I felt like I had wasted my money a little as a lot of this, I already knew as it's been discussed so much. Also personal note to the author: please stop playing the victim. We get it, you're risking your life to publish your studies...or something. If it pains you so much, do something else.
Also never acknowledge Ben Shapiro - that's quite literally stabbing yourself in the foot.

A MUST read, especially for parents!
this is not a political book, it simply states Scientific FACT which in the current climate of "wokeness" is a rarity! I commend the author for her bravery. This is a refreshing read as it is written by a Sexoligist (who has now moved out of the field feeling she can not tell lies in aid of political correctness) who is, for the most part a left leaning Liberal. this book does not have a political agenda. if there is an agenda at all it is that we must tread carefully when making life changung decisions for our children. apart from discussing the Trans/non binary movements it addresses relationships between heterosexual men and women and just how wrong we are getting it by denying sex differences! This book was informative, wonderfully written and very engaging. I sincerely hope the author continues to enlighten us with more!

Brilliant dissemination of the false logic of woke
Debra Dog does an excellent job of stating the scientific foundations of sex and gender, as well as the current research. She articulates thoroughly what you already feel is the case, and exposes the failures within academia and the moaist like behaviour of "keep your head down, in order to keep it" from the scientist who disagree that gender is binary.
Great for both layman and people with prior knowledge of the topic.

Wish I Spent The Time Listening to Another Book
Some of this seemed backwards and outdated. Toxic masculinity doesn’t exist? Ha. I witness it everyday through my own lived experience and by reading the news. Advising women to be passive and docile when it comes to expressing romantic interest? It’s not like her advice here is based on scientific evidence. She’s just sharing her own (retrograde) personal viewpoint. No thanks! Keep your unsolicited advice. If I was looking for an uptight, moralistic take on things I’d read THE RULES. 🤮

Too much politics, too little science.
Much of the book revolves around the absurdities that are proclaimed by ‘some’ trans activists, and the consequences of that. I had much rather read a lot more about the actual academic research available and what that meant. Now that part is sort of glossed over at the beginning of each chapters, before heading back to the discussions meant Ionel before, fueled by the author’s own experience from her career as both scientist and journalist.
I feel like the book has wrong title. Not enough science and too much bickering.

Extremely rigid, more "opinion" than "science"
I listened to the whole book trying to see what her point of view was and I didn't want to dismiss it after some glaring issues I had with the authors perspective. The author claims to be practicing science but fails to correctly report the actual findings of the studies that she cites, something that she says her opposition does. There are some useful definitions, however her ideologies are so rigid and she seems so jaded, I don't think that even if newer studies came out finding the opposite to be true, she would acknowledge them unless they met her extremely strict conservative definitions. Many of her arguments are framed in such a way that her opinions would be the only correct answer. Don't waste your time.

Useful at points, disappointing overall
Some useful definitions and data points, but generally disappointing. The style was too informal for the topic, and the studies were not sufficiently described to allow the reader to form an independent opinion.
