About this listen
The instant Sunday Times best seller
"An intelligent, thorough rejoinder to an idea that has swept across much of the liberal world seemingly overnight. Even those outraged by Joyce’s positions would benefit from understanding them.... Open conversation about such fraught issues is the only realistic path forward." (Jesse Singal, The New York Times)
"This rigorous and brave book nails the absurd idea that sex is just a 'social construct'." (David Aaronovitch, The Times)
Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex.
People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.
If we recommit to our liberal values of freedom of belief, freedom of speech, and robust debate, we scan de-escalate this most vicious of culture wars.

The Truth Hits Home
This book opened my eyes to the reality of trans activism and what it really is doing in our society
The book is well researched citing sources, where applicable.
It lays open it's argument well and the conclusions are valid and real.
The author speaks with conviction and gives a truthful balanced view.
Read this book with 1984 and you will be surprised of what a profit George Orwell really was
Would recommend this book to everyone

A real eye opener.
the Tansgender radical ideology is tough to crack and Helen Joyce just smashes it to bits and more impressively does so whilst remaining sympathetic and humanitarian in her aims.

Thoughtful
Extremely interesting, important to always consider the unintended consequences of policies and how they may be used in practice

Outstanding clarity on an urgent topic
I saw Helen Joyce interviewed on YouTube and was struck by her unabashed honesty and clear articulation of the issues. I was pleased to find her book on Audible and have found it rivetting and enjoyable. I have been puzzled by the rapid emergence and adoption of gender self-identification - even in corporations - but she explains very clearly the process of ideological capture and eye-opening funding streams that have facilitated this. Well worth reading and should give many people what they need to form rational conclusions amidst all the intimidation and hysteria.

Great content
The ideas, research and content are amazing. The voice reading the book is very hard to listen to. Very girly voice that is annoying and at times I thought about giving up just because of the voice. However the ideas are so good that I stuck with it and I’m very glad I did. This book should be compulsory reading.

Poor sound quality
I nearly gave up on this audiobook as, no disrespect to the author / narrator it suffers from terrible voice clicking.

Absolutely unflappable!
As a woman that has been sent numerous rape and death threats from trans activists simply for saying humans cannot change sex and that sex matters. Also being banned from almost all social media platforms for pointing out simple biological reality, this book was absolutely amazing to read. Joyce was fair and level-headed about how yes, trans-identified people need certain accommodations, but NOT at the expense of women's safety and hard-won rights. It is NOT bigoted to want children to grow up and mature before doing irrevocable damage to their young bodies with drugs and surgeries. And it is NOT bigoted for women, most of whom have been traumatized by men in one way or another, to have spaces completely devoid of the male sex, regardless of his chosen "identity." This book should be required reading, especially for those who pretend not to know what a woman is, the farce is over.
