Synopsis

Welcome to the troubling age of sex-denialism—the age of gender-neutral labels, rigidly enforced equality, unisex spaces, and the systematic eradication of sexual difference. In her debut book, Sex Scandal, journalist Ashley McGuire investigates the alarming nationwide push to ignore the natural, biological distinctions between men and women that have been at the core of functioning human society since the dawn of time. McGuire reports shocking examples of progressive sex-denialism—from American schools, offices, bathrooms, and bedrooms—and reveals the most startling and alarming trend of all: that the frontline victims of our new “gender-neutral” world are young women and girls, the very people progressive activists claim to be championing.

Goodreads review by Rachel on March 10, 2017

This is an excellent analysis of the modern trend to redefine the meaning of "female." When Rachel Donezal insisted she was "trans-racial" the world collectively lost it because white women should not pretend to be black women, even if they "identify" as black women. I do think that the world was to......more

Goodreads review by Bill on March 02, 2017

Simply fantastic! I love McGuire's thesis: erasing the distinctions between men and women forces women to become more like men. She brilliantly sets forth actual events to support her thesis. The book pushes the erasure of gender distinctions to its ideological telos where we end up in places like s......more

Goodreads review by Lee on February 18, 2019

The idea that there is no biological basis for gender but it is just a social construct is of course not something science supports. It is simply a radical ideological position being pushed for political and social reasons. The truth is, men and women are different, and they parent differently as wel......more
