Publisher Description
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, #1 New York Times bestselling 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.

Informative without bigotry
Dr. Debra Soh has compiled scientific information about the dangers of being too quick to have children start transitioning. She shows that there are permanent irreversible changes when you block puberty and the decision should not be left up to children. Gender dysphoria is real and should be permitted to be something psychologists are allowed to help treat. It is not conversion therapy. It is waiting to see if the child will grow out of it. Some changes are irreversible and the people who encouraged you to transition will not help or support you if you decide to detransition.
