This just got added to my list of 'Books Every Feminist Should Read' and I loved it.

Parents are undermined experts are over-relied upon dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated free speech truckles under renewed attack socialized medicine bears hidden consequences and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups.Įvery person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it-this book is for you.
