Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult: True Detrans Stories | 2.1.25

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.

For example, the WPATH files showed that these doctors were aware that sometimes hormones are causing tumors in young people. They were aware that sometimes young people are suffering losses of fertility from taking hormones or puberty blockers. And yet they weren't sharing these things publicly.

And meanwhile, all of these pro-transgender sites and all of these medical organizations will tout the WPATH certifications or the WPATH doctors. And media outlets will say things like, all major medical organizations support gender affirming care. And they'll cite, guess who, WPATH.

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.
