Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters is a 2020 book by Abigail Shrier, published by Regnery Publishing. The book endorses the unvalidated hypothesis of rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD), which posits that youth and young adults identify as transgender due to peer influence or social contagion. In the book, Shrier criticizes gender-affirming psychiatric support, hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgery (together often referred to as "gender-affirming care") as treatments for gender dysphoria in young people. The ROGD hypothesis is not recognised as a medical diagnosis by any major professional institution. The book has received mixed responses. Several positive reviews were published endorsing Shrier's claims about trans people, and the book was also criticized for repeating anti-trans medical misinformation. Several retailers refused to sell the book in response to these criticisms.
