Must read for

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to have an informed and scientifically backed opinion about gender and sex. Contrary to what some might believe, this book is essential in supporting the rights of women, homosexuals and transgender people. This topic is too important then to leave the field to radical activists. the misinformation spread bye said radical activists is not only hurting the lgbtq community but also the science community.

Enlightening

A very good audiobook which accurately explains gender, gender ideology and the unfortunate stronghold of academia on much of the conversation. It's quite interesting and enlightening, even though I knew much of the content, having followed much of the controversy and several podcasts of the author. She could have read the script with a bit more prosody, but the content is impeccable.

Very informative and scientific

I found this an informative and scientific report on a highly interesting and hotly debated topic. Soh provides scientific evidence in a rather neutral (as science should be) way. My only criticism would be a slight misrepresentation of radical feminists. Most radical feminists are also lesbians and hence clash with the autogynephile heterosexual section of transwomen, causing the"terf" misnomer. Radical feminists would also agree with 99% of Soh's arguments on the trans topic.
All in all, this audiobook is interesting for everyone, be that trans activists, radical feminists, researchers or fence sitters.

There is no "community"

A good collection of facts and arguments about the field of gender & sex, that make it easier to understand the gender craze. However, the author makes a considerable mistake by constantly referring to the "transgender/homosexual/scientific community". Those are not communities, they are just loose categories of people. The word "community" is used so that it will seem like there is a small group of people that is somehow victimized by society, like a tribe of native people who is suppressed by invaders. Just because you are transgender or homosexual, doesn't automatically mean that you are in contact with other such people. There is no one "community" with certain needs, wants and desires. This verbiage is tribalism at it's finest and is intended to split people by externalities.

Ein anderer Blick auf das Thema Gender

Interviews von Dr. Debra Soh habe ich ein paar Mal im amerikanischen Fernsehen und auf YouTube gesehen. Ich habe immer ihre ruhige Art gemocht. Anstatt sich auf die Absurdität mancher Akteure zu konzentrieren und sich endlos darüber aufzuregen, fokussiert sie eher auf die Wissenschaft, die hinter Sex und Gender steckt und erinnert uns vor allen Ding daran, warum wir weiter auf Wissenschafter hören sollen. Wer sich für das Thema Gender interessiert und möchte eine eher nüchterne aber dennoch unterhaltsame Zusammenfassung vom Thema hören will, sollte ruhig mal reinhören.

Good science butchered by incoherent writing

Let me start by saying I fully agree eith Debra Soh's perspective on sex and gender, that is not my issue with this book.
My issue is that for a journalist, Mrs. Soh has absolutely no clue how to write a coherent text. This book tries to shove so much detail in such little space and Soh does such a p*sspoor job at connecting the different subjects that it might as well be a mixed word salad of topics.

One moment we talk about sex differences of males and females, next sentence we're suddenly talking trans only to completely switch topic two sentences later to intersex, brain anatomy and a sentence later to sizes of amygdalas but that's only really relevant like 6 chapters down the line.
MY GOD, what a mess. Structure your text first, THEN write it. Don't just append random strings of thought to a textfile.
Instead of coherent and well formulated, well structured arguments we get what feels like the scientific equivalent of random shower thoughts in a diary. I am beyond disappointed at the lack of a red line through this book. Pair that with her rather fast pace when reading and I found myself more trying to rewind and focus in the first three chapters than anything else.

It's a shame because I had the feeling this was gonna be a solid book - but I just can't recommend such a mess in good faith to anyone.
