Abstract
Abigail Favale’s page-turner, The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory, explains how it is that children are tempted to make the ill-fated choice of transgender surgery. The answer is twofold—feminism and bodily self-hatred. As we will see, the two responses are linked, even though the first is a broad philosophical stance originating in the nineteenth century and the second is a social media-driven pathology that takes the form of negative self-perception.
