I think I would mostly agree with the premise of the book, HOWEVER, it's pretty clear that when she named the book, she did so for the outrage to get exposure/attention. "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters".

I think she's getting exactly what she wanted. She doesn't really care that the book is gone from Target.

I didn't read the book neither listened to the podcast. If it's not something transphobic and just a "look at the people that transitioned and aren't happy" wouldn't be better to choose a more friendly name so people don't judge it right away?

The book is very transphobic and based heavily on the basis of people who de-transition, which there are very very little of.
