We're picking up where we left off in Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage": with the "dissidents." And these are some of the more well known names in this book - Ray Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey. We also talk a little more about the CAMH report.


Trivia! Zucker has been the Archive of Sexual Behavior's editor since 2001.

More trivia! Blanchard and Bailey both gave this book a glowing review.

This section has little breaks in it. I wasn't sure how to exactly represent those pivots, so... bar wipes? Sure.
