I recently finished your book. I have three granddaughters and I'm terrified for their future. My takeaway wasn't just the madness of the "adult's" promotion of the current mania, but also the absolute misery being imposed upon our millions of girls and young women who should be experiencing a joyful and fulfilling youth but are instead suffering socially imposed immiseration. It is a genuine tragedy.
How profoundly have we failed women when the prospect of life as an adult female in our society is so horrifying as to be feared and rejected by increasing numbers of girls. Where is the love?
I think here, as in Britain, this madness will only end when young women who have been maimed by the pseudoscience of puberty blockers, test shots and surgery and sue and win.
It's a real shame that you get so much pressure from progressives not to go on Tucker's show. He has, by far, the most popular news show in the world. He's immensely influential and his platform gives you the chance to affect contemporary conservative thought. Why shouldn't you leap at the opportunity?
You go where people listen. Tucker Carlson happens to be someone who listens. I disagree with him on many issues, but he gives many important liberal and moderate intellectuals a hearing when the mainstream liberal media will not. Bret Weinstein, Glenn Loury, Glenn Greenwald, all present important information on Carlson's show.
As the country becomes more polarized and the left becomes more and more captured by ideology, the old labels and partisan divides are falling away, at least with respect to certain topics. The issues you cover, concerning the trans ideological indoctrination and medicalization of children and the marginalization of women, have no political "side," just the truthful, human side.
You go where people listen. If progressives don't understand this, they have lost the plot.
You can't fight Identity Politics while still clinging to Identity Politics. IDPOL is inherently divisive. "Those people, they're not our kind, Darling. We can't possibly work together on a common goal." Talk about ignorance and bigotry. And shooting yourself in the foot. How many times does it need to be said? Wars are won with allies, sometimes with distasteful, or even dangerous ones. Standing on principle doesn't win wars. Standing with a large army behind you does. After the war is won, you go back to hating and plotting against each other. That's how it's been done for millennia. Because it works.
When I see anyone attempting to get a truthful message out that is important, I see it as a huge win when they appear on or their message is (accurately) presented by any media source. In fact, if that media source happens to be one that tends to be one I disagree with, that’s an even bigger win. That means a whole lot of people who largely disagree with me on many things may - at least on this important point - discover the truth.
Abigail, you're the voice of reason against the aggressive "transgender" activists that have taken over our schools, healthcare institutions, and corporations. We're all rooting for you at Princeton.
YES, Abigail! Words cannot express how existentially important your work is for the preservation of our culture! These evil vultures preying on the innocence of our youth MUST be eradicated swiftly and without reservation!
These vile scumbags will be given NO quarter........EVER!
Ms. Shrier....keep appearing on the Carlson show and reach as wide an audience as possible. BTW, you should ask those upset subscribers in which shows you should appear....Would those shows invite you?
Looking forward to a tape or transcript to your Princeton talk.
He has probably already asked, but you should go on his long-form Tucker Carlson Today program. He's a terrific interviewer and the show is clearly a hit.
Lack of political diversity in Schools and Universities is the real underlying problem.
Any place where leftists have majority, as in Schools and Universities, is the end result of a constant political purge in hirings and workplace practices.
These places become defacto totalitarian enclaves where you will not be hired or you will be fired for wrongthink: not following the Left Collective groupthink.
Today if you are not a leftist or pretend to be one it will be unlikely to be hired in Universities, Big Tech companies, Media companies, or even government agencies. This grand scale political discrimination amounts to a violation of the first amendment rights.
If all social structures are controlled by a single political force then the society becomes totalitarian by definition, and now America is getting closer and closer to that.
Here's the issue, as I see it (and yes I'm repeating myself in what I posted in response to others below): I'm concerned that having this interview on Fox is (a) preaching to the choir, and (b) making progressives/liberals more likely to dismiss this as "Faux News."
My guess is that most Fox viewers don't need to be convinced of the impropriety (to put it mildly) of this kind of stuff going on in the schools.
Meanwhile, unfortunately, going on shows like Carlson's (or even writing for the WSJ, right?!) seems to make it less likely that NPR or the NYT or WaPo (recent piece, https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/11/24/trans-kids-therapy-psychologist/, notwithstanding) will pick up stories like this. And it's THOSE audiences who need to be made aware of how crazy things have gotten.
The great conservative and philosopher Edmund Burke stated, "Evil exist, because good men stand by and do nothing", this is what your talk reminded me of when I read it. It also encouraged me to keep standing for what I believe is to be right and true. As an American, who just happens to be Black, I too am often criticized because I won't kowtow to liberal talking points. Their insults of calling me an Uncle Tom or a coon, I now wear with a badge of honor. The ad hominem attacks is all that they have. I will be sharing this article with my peeps. Thank you again for standing strong.

From a phone call with a friend, who has been a lifelong social democrat as am I. “The only people I can talk to right now seem to be conservatives.”

I hope you don’t get cancelled, your words are too valuable.
