Protesters decry Hebrew edition launch of book criticizing 'transgender craze'

[Behind the Aegis]

Hundreds of demonstrators protested in Ramat Gan on Sunday against the launch of the Hebrew edition of “Irreversible Damage,” a controversial book that says gender dysphoria is the result of peer pressure.

US author Abigail Shrier attended the sold-out event hosted by the conservative publishing house Sella Meir as about 300 protesters waved pride flags and Israeli flags and chanted outside, according to the Ynet news site.

Video from the scene showed demonstrators waving Pride flags, transgender flags and Israeli flags while beating drums and chanting LGBTQ slogans.

An earlier event had been canceled in Tel Aviv after the venue said it was made aware of the book’s controversial content. Shrier said on Twitter that two of Israel’s largest retailers refused to carry the book.

1. Holy Shit (no pun intended) but 'curing' trans people? Another way of saying Conversion Therapy!

I read of another account of enacting conversion therapy this morning from Erin In The Morning:
[div class="excerpt"]Video Shows OH Rep Click Pushing Conversion Therapy - His Bill Mandates It For Trans Youth
Ohio Rep. Click has sponsored several anti-trans care bans and claims that his bills are "about the science." Recent unearthed video shows him supporting to and admitting to conversion therapy. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/video-shows-oh-rep-click-pushing

Rep. Click seems to think that by changing the name of some of the techniques of the practice make it alright. No, Mr. Click, we're not that stupid.
