Thank you, Graham.

This book is brilliant— every page of it. I kept thinking it would only take maybe 20 or 30 more men with Graham Linehan’s courage, compassion, common sense and charisma to end this nightmare and let us get on with boring reality. (Women in my position will understand there’s nothing sexist about that framing: it’s just where we are), so come out come out wherever you are, gentlemen! Any time you’re ready. No? Just the one? Right then.

So good I listened to it twice

Revisado: 12-12-23

… and took notes. This book is a brilliant argument for free speech, critical thinking and openness to the tragicomedy of humans’ need for approval from the mad crowd.

Smart, original and beautifully crafted essays

Revisado: 01-12-23

Wesley Yang doesn’t use words as decoration; each has a careful purpose. His observations, and the topics he chooses to observe, are the point, yet the words often add up to poetry anyway. I enjoyed the audiobook so much that I ordered the hardcover in order to note the passages I want to revisit. You won’t be disappointed until it ends. (P.S., the narration is excellent.)

This is a very important book

Revisado: 05-29-22

Gender ideology has become my obsession since the day my daughter announced her own capture. When it happens, life becomes a hall of mirrors in which you’re frantically seeking daylight. All of the recent gender-critical books have delivered some of it, but Kara Dansky argues the case using nothing but devastatingly objective facts. Clear, direct and unemotional, she doesn’t reach for the crutches — virtue signals, hyperbole, and righteous snark — that marked the early entries. My top three recommendations now include this book, Helen Joyce’s “Trans,” and “Galileo’s Middle Finger.” Serious works by serious women (yes, I said women!) who will be celebrated for their courageous sanity when the intellectual fog finally clears.

An eloquent step-by-step dismantling of gender ideology

Revisado: 03-07-22

Kathleen Stock, like Helen Joyce, writes with devastating clarity about trans ideology, its history and evolution, and the practical consequences for a tolerant, humane public that hasn’t yet thought it through but will soon have no choice. In return, of course, she’s been attacked viciously, relentlessly and with serious professional consequence; yet she betrays no anger, nor even occasional hints of snark for which she could absolutely be forgiven. This book is one of the best concerning the astonishing situation we find ourselves in.

I couldn’t stop listening.

Fascinating book, accessible to the science-averse, and very thought provoking. Special kudos to the narrator for delivering the words in a way that’s engaging without ever veering into the kind of cloying performance that has forced me to abandon many books whose content was not the problem.
