Advance Praise for The Abolition of Sex
Once in a decade there comes a book that breaks like dawn across a horizon of despair. The Abolition of Sex is that book.
We are witnessing the complete destruction of the meaning of the word sex throughout the culture in general and the law in particular. The transgender movement would have us believe that sex does not exist as a material reality and should be replaced by the utterly incoherent concept of gender identity. They are winning. It is the grossest of understatements to say this is concerningit is a vicious violation of womens basic human rights to put convicted rapists in womens prisons and teenage boys in girls locker rooms. Women are losing our legal standing and every right that we have clawed out of patriarchy, while most people have no idea. Its also chilling to watch as we are robbed of the language for our bodies and our uniquely female experiences and, ultimately, the only word that correctly names us: women.
With steely calm and acute clarity, Kara Dansky lays bare what gender ideology is doing to womenand what we might do to fight back. If you read one book this year, let it be this one. And then join Dansky on the barricades.

I really enjoyed this book. The Abolition of Sex is a pellucidly clear exposition of the threat to womens rights that is posed by the politics of transgenderism. It is much needed because it is the first book to focus on what is happening in the US. Kara Dansky is to be congratulated, she is a trailblazer and I expect her book to have a considerable impact.

The Abolition of Sex is superb, offering a concise breakdown of the legal, social and institutional abolition of human sexual dimorphism happening under the guise of a human rights movement. It is miraculously brief and readable for the immense ground it covers. For anyone not yet up to date on all the machinations happening behind the gender identity curtain, this is the book you want.

Kara Danskys brilliant and necessary The Abolition of Sex brings unassailable facts, logic, and clarity to the public debate over the transgender industrys destruction of womens rights. If we as a society are able to stop this well-financed Mens Rights movement, it will be in great measure due to the relentlessly logical and fact-based work of writers like Kara Dansky.

Sex: the differentiation between male and female, determined by whether an X-bearing sperm or a Y-bearing sperm fertilized the X-bearing ovum, which determines the type of sexual and reproductive organs that develop, and the biological differences between females and males.
They literally stopped recognizing every actual single woman and girl, every female person. And they told us that we were now all an identity instead of a sex, a psychology instead of physiology. That was what female now meant. So that men could say they were women. And they did, hundreds of thousands of them did. There was no single word for actual females. We werent allowed one. Our word was reallocated to men. We had to talk about ourselves as people with cervixes, or menstruators, and we had to agree that biology wasnt the real difference between the sexes, identity was. One by one, every reference to biological sex was replaced in every law with references to identity, until the law had erased any connection with female biology from pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood. Everything became something that applied to both men and women because it was forbidden to have real references to sex. Stating that only females were women was enough to lose your job, or even be charged with a crime. Failing to agree with a man that he was a woman was enough to be ostracized, censored, or threatened with legal action. Men took over womens sports, institutions, groups. Men represented us in every level of society, calling themselves women. There were no words to distinguish ourselves from these men. Everyone could see the female sex were becoming unspeakable people, unspoken of. You werent allowed to acknowledge our separate existence from male people. Men committed crimes and society said women did it. You could never escape a man because he could follow you into any public space by identifying as female. People were very, very afraid to tell the truth. Many hundreds of children lost their reproductive organs trying to become the other sex. It was a very dark time.

I N MARCH OF 2021, a person named Rachel Levine was confirmed as the Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Levine is a biological male who claims to be a transgender woman. During the confirmation hearings in February 2021, every single member of the United States Senate was expected to pretend that Levine is a woman. Every single member did so. No one was permitted to question this, and no one even tried.
Under questioning from Senator Rand Paul, Levine refused to state whether or not he approved of administering life-altering (potentially sterilizing and lethal) drugs to physically healthy teenagers. On October 19, 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that Levine had been sworn in as the first female four-star Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. On the same day, the New York Times said the same thing on Twitter. The United States government and the New York Times outright lied to everyone by saying that Levine is female.
On September 18, 2021, the one-year anniversary of the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) tweeted a quote about abortion rights from Justice Ginsbergs 1993 Supreme Court confirmation hearing, editing out all of the words that identified abortion as a right that pertains exclusively to women, i.e., female humansthe only humans who are capable of getting pregnant (full disclosure: I worked at the ACLU from 2012 to 2014). Justice Ginsbergs original statement read:
