Our culture makes it easy for girls' bodily discomfort and shame to suggest another belief: “I'm not a female.”
They are the victims of social media’s perverse standards and the world’s broken solutions. Shrier details the story of a girl who was a boy at school but a girl in the evening. Males and females together reflect the image of God. The body is important, but God “looks on the heart,” not on “outward appearance” (1 Samuel 16:7). Because our beliefs are rooted in God’s design, we don’t have to reinforce gender stereotypes. And yet, we’ve decided they can choose surgery to change their gender. However, when any of them question the validity of these girls’ desires, Shrier details from her interviews that they usually lose their jobs or get stripped of their accolades. Some parents even encourage the process, to their daughter’s detriment. They can then get top surgery or the even riskier and more dangerous “bottom surgery.” These come with side effects and are permanent. A therapist would never encourage them to starve themselves and affirm their feelings that, “Yes, you are overweight and need to drop some more pounds.” The devices can cause breathing complications, bruising, and damage to their rib cages. With so many teen girls looking for acceptance and respite, is it any wonder that they turn to questioning their sexuality and gender? Physicians falsely promise that these are easily reversible if the teen wants to change back. She uncovers the lasting effects of transgender operations, unveiling a world of hypocrisy, willful ignorance, woke deceit, and, ultimately, irreversible damage done to tens of thousands of girls.
