This was SO wonderful to listen to. You three are so in sync. Thank goodness for Abigail Shrier. I can’t wait to take these gentle insights to my son’s pediatrician today. That stupid mental health survey…

Enjoyable interview with Abigail Shrier thank you. Awhile ago I saw videos related to her Irreversible Damage book with ROGD girls expressing their pain and regret after having top surgery. I was horrified, shocked and acknowledged some guilt and responsibility for this as a former adult trans identified male. I am compelled to "sound the alarm" as these poor young girls were expressing strikingly similar feelings to those of mine when I was young. Self hatred,social awkwardness, and bullying etc. Keep up the excellent work Abigail amd Genspect.

(Child acts out)

People, to the parents: "Do something!"

Other people to the parents: "But not that!"

Still other people to the same parents: "In fact don't do anything at all"

Yet more people, to the same hapless parents: "But do something right now!"

I hate when people say everyone should go to therapy. We need mental health unawareness.
