About this audiobook
International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and columnist Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity that “is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital” (Ben Shapiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Is our gender something we’re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In The End of Gender, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today’s society.
Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today’s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.
The End of Gender is conversation-starting “required reading” (Eric R. Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) that will arm you with the facts you need to come to your own conclusions about gender identity and its place in the world today.

Very thought provoking and backed up by science. People either side of the debate should read/listen to what Dr Soh has to say in this book

This is a great book. It takes its audience seriously and doesn't dumb down the science. And I always love it when an audiobook is read by the author herself, because it's a more authentic experience. Ms Soh has a very pleasant voice which makes for a much better learning experience. And make no mistake, you will learn something from this book!

There should be no war between sexes. War creates victims. I am sure we can avoid more pain. Thank you, DS.
