Protesters decry Hebrew edition launch of book criticizing 'transgender craze' [View all]

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.
