People like to act like this never happens or no children transition, but That's not true.
Yeah, I've spoken to some detransitioners, mostly like online or just phone calls. And that's been really nice to hear that other people have also gone through this. Even though I'm sad that they've also gone through this, it's nice that I'm not alone. The lawsuit came out, I believe, December 6th, but I had spoken to Billboard Chris a bit before that, pretty publicly.
It's quite the effective troublemaker. Yeah, so that got a lot of attention, and I just sort of outlined my entire story in that short little street interview. Yeah, how did you meet him? It was totally coincidental. I was walking home on UCLA campus, and I just saw him. Oh, so you just bumped into him. Yeah.
Billboard Chris is awesome, and he just stands around with a billboard and has conversations with people about puberty blockers. And I just totally ran into him, and we had a nice conversation. Now, he's a Canadian.
Well, I'd seen his stuff online before, and I'd seen him be harassed and had coffee thrown at him, and I just wanted to tell him, like... As somebody directly impacted by puberty blockers, I really appreciated what he was doing. And then he just asked about my story and we sort of had a conversation about it.
And it got a lot more attention than I was expecting because I had had that conversation weeks before the lawsuit was supposed to come out. So I wasn't really supposed to be talking too much. So I tried to keep it vague when talking to him, but it got a lot of attention and it was nice to see that other people were so sympathetic to my story. Why do you think it got attention?
I said Olson Kennedy's name, and that was right after that information had come out about her hiding the study. And it was also, I think, just because of my age at the time that these things happened, it was definitely jarring to hear.
I'm mounting that mostly, but I'm working with some awesome law firms and I'm working with Campbell Miller Payne and all they do is detransition lawsuits. They work with Prisha Mosley as well and other clients who are also detransitioners. So that's... kind of all they do. So they were able to help me out a lot. And it's mostly me mounting it. I mean, my parents are supportive.
They just don't really want to be public about it, which I totally understand. Right, right. And where are you with the lawsuit? We just started. It was filed in December. So things are... Oh, okay.
I mean, vaguely malpractice and just asking for damages. And I've gone through breast reconstruction surgery and had to pay out of pocket for that. And all the medical costs associated with future things like fertility or my other medical problems related to hormonal things. I would just like some compensation for those costs.
I am hoping for change. I don't want to demand anything. I'm not a lawmaker or a doctor, so I can't make any broad assertions, but I definitely think the standard of care where it's at right now is pretty abysmal.
I would like to see people working on helping people rather than pushing as many things as quickly as possible and getting people to agree to as many things quickly as possible, because that's definitely what seems to be the trend, not actually helping kids and investigating what's going on with these kids. It's more the fight to prescribe them as many things as possible.
Exactly.
That's crazy.
It's been a little difficult, I won't lie. I've definitely been noticed a bit more times than I'd like. Noticed how? People have asked me about things and brought up very sort of... A lot of the information that I'm talking about publicly is very, very personal and not something I really just want to like talk about in everyday conversation. So having people like very...
kind of hostily confront me and tell me that I'm a bad person for talking about my experiences or things like that. How often does that happen? Thankfully, infrequently, but it's happened a couple times.
I think so. So far, most people close to me have been awesome and really supportive, and most people that know me are nice. Right. So you have a social support network.
I started to contextualize it and truly understand it as abuse and something that I shouldn't just avoid, which is how I had seen it for a very long time. And once I started to reconcile with that, I was actually able to confront the reality of what that does.
Most of it. And I was also able to sort of understand, obviously I can never understand why exactly, but you also mentioned like with another kid, there's also something happening on that end. And I was able to fully sort of understand that it wasn't something I did and there's nothing wrong with me.
Right. It's probably something awful as well.
