Summary of Debra Soh's The End of Gender

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The political climate is changing, and with it, so is the way we view gender. Most people will look the other way when the political right tries to meddle with sex science, but when the political left starts suppressing science, most people look the other way.

#2 Sex research is rigorous, because it is designed to eliminate bias and confounding variables. However, many gender scholars do not like the scientific method, and instead use qualitative methods like interviews and autoethnographies.

#3 I had noticed a trend in mainstream news stories that left me feeling unsettled. They were extremely one-sided, presenting glowing stories about children as young as age three transitioning.

#4 I have been mobbed on social media several times, and it feels like one or two notifications trickle in at a hostility level of 10 out of 10. For me, they consisted of parents accusing me of being pro-conversion therapy and wanting their trans kids to kill themselves.
