Summary
International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and columnist Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity that “is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital” (Ben Shapiro, number-one New York Times best-selling author).
Is our gender something we’re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In The End of Gender, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today’s society.
Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today’s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.
The End of Gender is conversation-starting “required reading” (Eric R. Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) that will arm you with the facts you need to come to your own conclusions about gender identity and its place in the world today.

Heartily recommended
This volume is an excellent introduction to a very controversial and complex subject.
It begins with a series of apparently simplistic definitions. It is incredibly important that people listen to those, so that the rest of the book will make sense.
The lesson that I learned very quickly from Dr Soh is that I know far less about this subject than I thought.
This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to navigate this very complex issue with confidence.
Perhaps the highest compliment that I can pay this author is that I am now on my third listening.

Fascinating and important.
Now that discussions of gender and sex have reached Salem Witch Trials levels of hysteria, with women and lesbians the primary witch accussees (e.g. JK Rowling), its great to have an evidence-based, scientific, rational, and enormously compassionate book on these subjects.
It speaks to topics such as dating and parenting as well, besides the gender ideology and dysphoria stuff.
A remarkable and timely book for anyone who wants to be informed and transcend the hysteria, lies and bullying. Thank you for writing it Dr Soh.

Brilliant dissemination of the false logic of woke
Debra Dog does an excellent job of stating the scientific foundations of sex and gender, as well as the current research. She articulates thoroughly what you already feel is the case, and exposes the failures within academia and the moaist like behaviour of "keep your head down, in order to keep it" from the scientist who disagree that gender is binary.
Great for both layman and people with prior knowledge of the topic.

Brilliantly and delicately handled with exceptional nuance
Issues of gender, sex, and gender dysphoria are highly politically charged and minefields to manoeuvre through. Soh manages to cut through these issues with brilliant clarity, suitable for the average listener. She is very direct and unapologetic in her critique of woke academia, yet she conveys great empathy for those who the conversation impacts the most. This is an important contribution to the conversation on sex and gender which will hopefully create a large dent in anti-scientific rhetoric.

Excellent
Reasoned and erudite - sets out her case clearly. A refreshing contrast to her opponents who demand “no debate”. Also brave - those who want to avoid a discussion generally choose threats and intimidation as a response

A MUST read, especially for parents!
this is not a political book, it simply states Scientific FACT which in the current climate of "wokeness" is a rarity! I commend the author for her bravery. This is a refreshing read as it is written by a Sexoligist (who has now moved out of the field feeling she can not tell lies in aid of political correctness) who is, for the most part a left leaning Liberal. this book does not have a political agenda. if there is an agenda at all it is that we must tread carefully when making life changung decisions for our children. apart from discussing the Trans/non binary movements it addresses relationships between heterosexual men and women and just how wrong we are getting it by denying sex differences! This book was informative, wonderfully written and very engaging. I sincerely hope the author continues to enlighten us with more!

An education in sanity
To quote Sagan - this book was a candle in the dark of woketopia. Such a well written booked grounded in compassion and science.
