Summary:
The book examines the impact of transgender activism on society, law, and women's rights, arguing that the movement's ideology sometimes clashes with material reality and feminist concerns. It explores the complexities of gender identity, the debate over sex-based rights, and the potential consequences for various groups, including children, when gender self-identification overrides biological sex in policy and law.
Key points:
1. Gender vs Sex: Joyce differentiates between gender identity and biological sex, arguing that the latter shouldn't be ignored in areas like sports and prisons.
