International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and columnist Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity that “is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital” (Ben Shapiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Is our gender something we’re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In The End of Gender, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today’s society.
Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today’s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.
The End of Gender is conversation-starting “required reading” (Eric R. Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) that will arm you with the facts you need to come to your own conclusions about gender identity and its place in the world today.

Een serie slecht geschreven blog posts over het ene krakkemikig opgebouwde transfobische argument na het andere. De auteur wil dan wel zo graag de feieten en wetenschap op tafel hebben, maar laat de eigen politiek ook doorschemeren.

Well said! I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone. There are so many myths pushed by activists that are so engrained in our culture that Soh addresses here. It is a non-judgmental, non-idealogical breakdown of supposed ‘controversial’ science. You may be inclined to disagree with Soh but in the interest of doing no harm and conducting a thorough literature review, I believe you should give it a read- add it to your library of other thinkers and then determine where the truth lies.
