TikTok, Tumblr, Netflix, school counselors, and librarians tell us how liberating it is for girls to identify as boys or non-binary, and to have physicians change their bodies so they can be more like their “authentic selves.”
But the truth is that thousands of girls, many with autism, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, are being experimented on with puberty blockers, and mutilated with cross-sex hormones and double mastectomies. For many, the result is a lifetime of regret.

Those who push child transgenderism claim that those who regret the permanent damage from chemicals and surgery didn’t get the support they needed from their transphobic families. But the almost 26,000 members of the Detrans Subreddit tell a different story.
Detransitioners recount how they had trouble fitting in with other girls because they didn’t fit stereotypes, how they were drawn into transgenderism by social media, and how they were rushed through medicalization by therapists and physicians who didn’t explore whether the gender dysphoria was a result of other mental-health disorders.
Detransitioned women discuss regrets from being sterilized, having their breasts amputated, and having permanently lower voices, all because of decisions they made when they were too young to give informed consent.
“Children don’t have free will,” detransitioner Laura Reynolds says in her video. “They’ll believe anything. If you tell them they can change their sex, they’ll believe you.”
Although in New Hampshire it’s illegal for therapists to encourage gender-confused children to live as their biological sex thanks to a conversion therapy ban signed by Governor Chris Sununu, there are resources available to help their moms and dads.
Reporter Abigail Shrier’s book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” documents the alarming rise in girls drawn into transgenderism, and describes how it spreads as a social contagion through peers and social media. She also advises parents about how they should address their daughters’ confusion.
But we have a problem.
The activists pushing the transing of children are doing all they can to ban “Irreversible Damage.” That is why we need your help promoting this book that the activists don’t want moms and dads to see. We’ve started a fundraiser to promote this book on a digital billboard on busy South Willow Street in Manchester.
