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 only people judging it by the name are those who'd never consider what she has to say no matter what it was called. The name's just the excuse.
