Books
Soh's first book, "THE END OF GENDER: Debunking the Myths about Sex & Identity in Our Society" was released on August 4, 2020 by Threshold Editions in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook read by Soh.[29]
The book is organized around a series of trans-movement assumptions Soh identifies as myths: that “biological sex is a spectrum”; that “gender is a social construct”; that “there are more than two genders”; that “sexual orientation and gender identity are unrelated”; and so forth.[31]
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.[32]
