Shrier wrote a well-researched book that is critical of a cultish ideology affecting teenage girls. A very interesting guest for Rogan to interview.

Her book is favorably reviewed here: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/11/26/a-book-on...

Though I can see why people also in adherence to this ideology may not enjoy it being subjected to scrutiny. Kind of like Scientologists in that regard, or any other cult.

And since you're evidence based...

That attempted critique is quite out of date now, not taking into account more recent studies that support her thesis. It doesn't even really address the data her book was based on, much of it clinical.
Existence is not ideology. So fuck right off with your anti-trans bigotry (yes, comparing being trans and wanting basic rights to a cult is bigotry).
Spoken like a true believer.
