And that's something that is actually very common for those who are identifying as transgender is that they are on the spectrum. And so all of these factors were playing into them feeling lonely and disconnected at school, not sure whether they were fitting in and looking for identity and companionship in other places, which unfortunately in our day and age often ends up being the internet.
Oh, every single detransitioner I spoke with said they were absolutely fast-tracked through the medical system. I think it was Luca who was just saying yesterday that when she went in and told her therapist that she wondered if she was a boy, it was like she had said the magic words. And from there on out, she was right on the way to her transition.

And from there on out, she was right on the way to her transition.
And I think it's worth pointing out that a lot of these transition procedures are very much attached to the next step. So for example, when Chloe starts talking to her doctors about getting puberty blockers to stunt her puberty while she supposedly figures out what gender she is, that's what the doctors would tell her.

So for example, when Chloe starts talking to her doctors about getting puberty blockers to stunt her puberty while she supposedly figures out what gender she is, that's what the doctors would tell her.
So when she's about to go on puberty blockers, the presumption is the next thing she's going to do is go on testosterone. And then the presumption from there is that of course she's going to get a double mastectomy. And the presumption from there is that she might get a hysterectomy. And the presumption from there is that she might wanna get fake male genitalia.

So it just compounds and compounds and compounds. It's very costly, it's very invasive. And all of the detransitioners I spoke with said that they just felt like they were put on this road, very little questions asked and sent on their way.

Yeah, that's one of the most tragic aspects of this crisis that we're seeing all these young people going through. I would say largely when it comes to teenagers and young adults who are going through this gender dysphoria and a girl identifying as a man, their parents love them and they wanna help them.

And what the parents are told by the medical system is, would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son? And that's a threat to these parents. They're told by doctors, would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?

And these parents, many of whom are not well-versed in politics or gender ideology, they're thinking, my daughter or my son is struggling so much, very obviously mentally struggling, and I wanna help them. So I'm gonna trust that these doctors know what they're doing. And unfortunately, the doctors are betraying not just the parents, but also the young person.

And they're lying and promising things that cannot be attained, including that these surgeries and these procedures will make the young person happy. These doctors shouldn't be promising that. They have no ability to provide that happiness. But that's why I call it a gender ideology cult in the title of my book. Because this is very cult-like. It's not scientific. It's not safe.

It's experimental and cult-like. And it's incredibly scary.

So with the recent expose of the WPATH files, we know that many of these so-called experts that are involved with WPATH are actually not experts at all. They're conducting experimental treatments and they're aware that the treatments that they are encouraging and they're conducting are experimental and dangerous.
