We're finally here, the last video in my series on Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage." We cover the actual last chapter of her book (the updates for most of the parents' stories shared throughout), as well as discuss stories shared with me by trans and/or non-binary people.

There's a ton of people to thank (and link!)
