This video covers "The Therapists" chapter of Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage." In depth. Plus a Zucker paper, which is always fun.
Note from video: given the production cycle timing, I wasn't able to incorporate some feedback about the "more comfortable presenting as a boy" phrasing. I am sorry if this is an uncomfortable or upsetting phrasing. Less Shrier-y phrasing will be incorporated moving forward.

General stuff
- To avoid the all-over-the-place exposure and focus of the last video, the camera's running in full manual so I can get the log filming output. But that has its own learning curve, so... yeah. We're getting there...
- Around the 1 hour mark, I use a radioactive example that didn't quite fit what I was going for. This, of course, wasn't noticed until the final video review.
- On filming day, of course, had a pain flare. Apologies that my tone is sometimes a little flat and other subtle tells.
- Citations and whatnot have been moved up top so they are visible during pauses and not obscured by captioning.
