A disturbing new trend has emerged among teenage girls. Abigail Shrier, author of “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” says some groups of young female friends are making the decision together that they're transgender. The teenage girls begin taking hormones and some receive physically altering surgeries, often before they're legally allowed to drive or vote. Shrier joins “Problematic Women” to discuss her new book and why the transgender movement is “seducing our daughters.” Also on today’s show, we talk with economist Romina Boccia about America’s economic future.
