Story
Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Story
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.

Story
Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

Publisher's 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.

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.

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.

A spoiled researcher who could not deal the fact she was wrong and did a bad research
Academia, scientific community, the most prestigious research groups and publications saying how wrong and shallow the book author research was, but she still think it is the trans activism - still extremely marginalised and with no representation - that made her poor research receive a backlash.
Basically the book is just “researches” that the author agrees with, but nobody else.
The sample of the book is
Misleading and the title is a catfish. However, you should give a go. It is a nice exercise about how people can ignore science and serious study and choose the poor and limited few studies that prof your point.

Took a long time and still not finished... sigh
Listening to this book is like listening to nails lightly scrape down a chalk board. A bit harsh of a comment, maybe. However, it was really difficult to get through. One moment the author is appears to be against a group the next the author is for that group... it’s as if the author had difficulty reconciling their beliefs and personal commitments to those known to them. I felt that many of the author’s thoughts were justified by the authors education by consensus. This really was a bit of a waste of time it was like reading the internet / New York Times and watching CNN. Sorry.

Excellent- science rocks
Excellent, informative, scientific, balanced, not hateful or cruel but also, not bogus.
Just right; like the temperature of the baby bear’s porridge.
Points out the logical reasoning flaws of some activists arguments, but also, points out that historically ‘outlier’ people have been poorly treated.
Just because something is not biological doesn’t mean we should be mean or not treat people fairly.
I Particularly like the highlighting of the difference between arts theory and scientific theory. Science theories start as a hypothesis, then an experiment (preferably validly constructed) and ends with a theory to explain the results.
Arts theories are more: “I reckon that blah blah blah..... and I will back up this theory of mine by referencing Dr Me (my own book, written last year) as well as the book I wrote in ‘96, and ‘84 and that bloke Dr Lucky Fields..”

Outstanding work
This is an extremely clear report on the true and scientific nature of sex and gender. I appreciate Dr Soh’s honesty and courage in speaking so plainly and in writing so boldly.
I can’t recommend this book highly enough and I encourage everyone to read it, several times, and to encourage many others to do likewise.

Great necessary read!
Everyone needs to read this book to get a reality check when it comes to gender politics and academic cancel culture.

Gender is binary and not a social construct
I learned so much. Mostly how findings are the product of fear from social politics.

Food for the rational
A well researched book, full of love for diversity without sacrificing reason. Must read for a compassionate application and contribution of science on a topic that has become an issue for so many.
