So it's a very circular little game that they're all playing here in condoning these treatments that we know to be experimental. And I've said this before, but I do think there is a reckoning coming for these doctors involved with WPATH, I do believe that that expose of those files was the beginning of the end for this organization, and I hope it is.

Well, it began on a very traumatic note because to decide to detransition means that all these people have to, first of all, recognize that they were lied to. And so multiple of the detransitioners in my book told me that the moment that they realized that everything was wrong, it all kind of came crashing down around them because it was really a moment of realizing, oh my gosh, I'm not happy.

I'm still struggling. In fact, I feel worse than I felt before my surgery, before my hormones. And from there on out, they would go to their doctors, some of them, and say, I don't like this anymore. I don't want to be a man. Can you help me detransition? And the doctors don't want to hear that.

As I believe it was Abel Garcia told me when he went to his doctors and asked them to help him detransition, they were telling him, oh, this is just part of your gender journey. And first of all, it's an incredibly insulting and hard thing to hear when you have been through so much suffering and you're asking for help.

But also the doctors made it clear that they, A, didn't know how to help and B, weren't really interested in trying. And so that's something that I'm going to be doing more reporting on is the cowardly doctors who were refusing to help detransitioners who've been very hurt by the medical system and now they have no medical professionals to help them.

So they're going through this process of detransitioning alone, and they're finding that they have a lot of complications from the hormones. They're still figuring out if they're infertile. They're still figuring out what kinds of medical complications they have from the hormones, such as changes in bone density, aches and pains in their shoulders.

And in their back, Chloe Cole, for example, her double mastectomy wounds have not fully healed and it's been years. So these are just a few of the things that they're still trying to deal with and with very little medical help.

I do think it was very individualized depending on the person I talked to. Luca, for example, was on testosterone for four years before she stopped taking it. Helena was on testosterone for a much shorter time. And thank God, Helena did not get a double mastectomy. So she detransitioned more quickly than some of the other ones.

But I will say that though there are a lot of patterns in all these detransitioners' stories, each one is really unique in the really sad suffering that they went through. And I think they would all tell you that they have very individualized experiences, but they've all started speaking up. Specifically, the detransitioners who are in my book, they go and testify before state lawmakers.

They speak very frequently and try and help other people with gender dysphoria. And they would tell you that detransition is not the end and that they're living very fruitful and exciting lives. Prisha Mosley, for example, is about to have a baby, which is honestly a miracle given what she has been through. So that's something that I'm really happy for her and excited to see her start a family.

In terms of detransitioning, that is something that's very hard for the detransitioner to tell their parents because in Luca's case, her parents hadn't wanted her to transition. They were nervous, they were scared, but they thought that it was the best thing to do. They were told by doctors that it was the best thing for their daughter and she herself had to convince them to go through with it.
