Has anyone read 'The Abolition of Sex' by Kara Dansky?

[IKnitDinosaurs]

My copy just arrived, I realise it's about the US but I'm wondering if I lot of it could be relevant to the UK

Will start reading this evening, looks like it should be a manageable read even for a slow reader like me

Anyone have any thoughts on this particular book? Any recommendations for further reading? I'm quite new to the whole GC thing

I've read it and did find it very US focussed (understandable, and much needed). It covers the topic in general terms a bit too, but there are better books.
I recommend Helen Joyce's Trans if you've not read it yet as the best all-rounder and its more UK focused.

Yes, I'd definitely second Helen Joyce's excellent Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality - a really good precis of the history and the problems that we face today. Also very well written.

Kathleen Stock's Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism is also good. I found Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage a bit too anecdotal - it's also very US-centric, but she gives a hard-hitting picture of the situation over there.

I have ordered it. It's only now that the male sex is beginning to be abolished, but the abolition of the female sex is well on the way.

The US has a tough problem with the extreme political polarisation. The Democrats are now linked with trans rights, the Republicans linked with no abortions. Women have nowhere to go, and change in this will not come quickly. Dansky is doing important work but is not getting the same traction in the US as Joyce and Stock etc. are in the UK.

Oops, I also meant to mention Hannah Barnes' Time to Think, which is the most recently published one. It's less general than the other books mentioned as it focuses tightly on the history and failings of the Tavistock Clinic's soon-to-close Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS).

Julie Bindel's 'Feminism for Women'

I'm a big fan of Kara Dansky and her book is clear and well written. It's US focused with our laws, but it also rings the same truths that many other feminist writers share around the world. More feminists who can get traction for their books the better we all are. I also subscribe to her substack which has some fabulous women commentators.

She dedicates her conclusion chapter to the international campaign to protect women and girls.

AND she quoted Barracker from Mumsnet!
