Abigail Krauser Shrier is a journalist for the Wall Street Journal and the author of the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters which has proved controversial for its fringe views about transgender issues.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Shrier is the daughter of Peter B. Krauser and Sherrie L. Krauser, both judges in the state of Maryland, United States. She has degrees from Columbia College New York (A.B. Philosophy and Kellett Fellowship), the University of Oxford (B.Phil. Philosophy), and Yale Law School where she was a Coker Fellow.[2][3]
Career[edit]
Shrier works as a journalist and columnist for the Wall Street Journal.[4]
In 2020, her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters[5][6] was published by Regnery Publishing. The book supports the unproven[7][8] and contentious[9][10] hypothesis of socially mediated gender dysphoria.[11][12][13]:ch 2 Shrier has previously criticised individuals who use the singular they, comparing it to idol worship;[14][15] and regularly misgenders subjects of discussion in her book.[16] In July 2020, Shrier appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to discuss her views on transgenderism.[17] Her book has proved controversial for its views about transgender issues[4][18][12] and has been described by the author[19] and other commentators as subject to a campaign of censorship.[20][21] It was first withdrawn,[22] and then reinstated, by retailer Target. The Economist has described the book as the "first book-length study of a fascinating phenomenon" but also noted that "it has been widely ignored".[23] By contrast, a reader erected a billboard in Los Angeles in support of the ideas in the book.[24] Her book has been criticized by psychiatrist Jack Turban for misinterpreting and omitting scientific evidence to support her claims.[1] It's an Economist Book of the Year,[25] and a Times of London Best Book of 2021 for its UK publication.[26]
Shrier has described social media as playing an influential role in girls' decisions to become transgender.[27]

The term "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD)" is not a medical entity recognized by any major professional association, nor is it listed as a subtype or classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Therefore, it constitutes nothing more than an acronym created to describe a proposed clinical phenomenon that may or may not warrant further peer-reviewed scientific investigation. At present, WPATH asserts that knowledge of the factors contributing to gender identity development in adolescence is still evolving and not yet fully understood by scientists, clinicians, community members, and other stakeholders in equal measure.
