My doctor, 2 mental health professionals, a surgeon, and Medicaid all thought my gender neutral top surgery was legitimate and a medical necessity.
How did this happen?
When I transitioned, I truly believed I was non-binary.
Now I know I was struggling with mental illness and trauma around womanhood.
If I could make that mistake as an adult, a child could, too.
When I got my non-binary top surgery, I thought this was was well researched and documented
After coming out as a detransioner, I was shocked I wasn't the only one- the lack of follow up and how experimental this is. I don't know how doctors have allowed it to get to this point
After 20 years of talk therapy, I barely saw any improvement in my mental health.
After 2 years of addressing my physical health, my mental health is the best it's ever been.
We need to rethink how we approach mental health.
Video testimonies of detransitioners testifying for the Florida Board of Medicine:
Camille Kiefel, Chloe Cole, Shape Shifter, Rachel, Helena, Cat Cattinson, Zoe Hawes, Billy Burleigh, and Ted Halley
A thread 🧵:
I was speaking to a someone who works with parents of ROGD children. She said this:
Time and time again the gender issues goes away when the mental health issues are addressed.
It’s true. My gender issues went away when my mental health improved.
I was dating someone briefly and after I told him I was a detransitioner, he broke it off by saying he wants someone with breasts.
As a detransitioner, your dating pool has been limited significantly.
Detransitioners Cat Cattinson and Camille Kiefel were at the Florida Board of Medicine hearing on Nov. 4, but since public comment was shorter this time, were not able to read their testimonies.
Cat and Camille’s video testimonies are below.
A thread 🧵:
So many detransitioners I know have physical health issues from the invasive and experimental nature of gender affirming care.
Many are in immense pain and many can barely function.
I am angry and my heart aches for them.
GOOD NEWS!!!
My legal case that was dismissed last year has been reinstated! ⚖️
My lawsuit is against the two mental health professionals who approved of approved of my non-binary top surgery.
I'm suing the mental health professionals who approved my "non-binary" double mastectomy. Please consider donating to my legal expenses to help support this lawsuit, which I hope can set a precedent to protect other vulnerable women and girls like me.
Trans people exist, have always existed, and will always exist.
To our trans family: We see you, we love you, and won’t stop fighting for you.

@elonmusk
for putting profits over people.
The nonbinary top surgery that was performed on me has no biological blueprint in nature.
The only reason why this was approved is because gender ideology has captured our medical institutions. Medical decisions should not be influenced by ideology.
I was sure of myself when I got top surgery. Now I'm a detransitioner. As an adult I was sure I made the right decision. Do you think a kid can't make that same mistake? It's scary when the state thinks they know better than the parents.
This legislation will threaten every family in the United States. When I testified on this bill,
@Scott_Wiener
refused to look me in the eye, called my lived experience “hyperbole”, and ignored me along with the rest of the committee.
There's times were I almost forget that this happened. That I have been carved up from the top surgery
But it's there. The way the straps of a swimsuit top keep slipping off my shoulders. How the dress is empty at the breasts seams. The scars. Times like that I feel hallowed out
I was in the DETRANS documentary along with other detransitioners.
PragerU is giving us a voice where many are silencing us.

Gender ideology cognitive dissonance example:
For trans people gender reassignment surgery is a medical necessity
For detransitioners gender reassignment surgery was elective
My city called asking if I wanted a booster. I said no. I let them know I don't feel safe getting vaccines because of the vax injured being censored by big tech. It was clear this was news to her. I'm not going to be silent anymore.

When I was in feminist circles, generally plastic surgery was frowned upon. The idea was that you shouldn’t change yourself for societal norms.
Yet, many of those same feminists wold be ok with someone trans getting plastic surgery.
Why is that?
@SBakerMD
After eating meat again my mental health improved. I'm more secure in myself and I don't need to insult others to get my point across.
I can't say the same for most of the vegans I've interacted with.
Oregon legislators voted to deny detransitioners health care.
There is no ICD-10 medical classification for detransitioners––I know of many who can't get the medical help they need because of this.
This is discrimination.
You will never be able to breastfeed. You will have to replace any implants put in. You are putting yourself at risk for complications.
I just talked to someone who knew two women who developed autoimmune issues after having mastectomies.
No, it's not reversible at all.

I’m a detransitioner as well. Discussions like these are important for preventing this from happening to others. Thank you for providing a space for Sarah to share her story.
I’m excited to share portrait 28 in my series of 100 detransitioned women/females - some of you may recognise Camille, who’s a prominent speaker in the US.

In Oregon, I testified with
@sometherapist
and
@hemflocker
against HB 2458.
While I understand it was a difficult bill, many on the committee dismissed the experiences of detransitioners like myself.
I will continue to speak out. Detransitioners will not be silenced.
Well we did it.

We were certainly outnumbered by TRAs. Their energy & reactions were strongly felt in the room. Being surrounded with people you know are going to

Not a former vegan, but a pescatarian. It was only recently that I realized that my depression worsened after I switched to the diet. When I started eating meat again my mental health improved.
My testimony in Montana is linked below
Jim Riley finished my testimony since I ran out of time. It was a kind gesture and I know his testimony was shortened because of it.
I hadn't met him before, but if he sees this, I would just like to say thank you.
The common argument to dismiss detransitioners is that there's regret from all surgeries
The problem is that most surgery regret isn't from a misdiagnosis like with detransitioners
In any other case, doctors misdiagnosing and performing the wrong surgery would be unacceptable
I testified against Oregon HB 2002. The representative was insensitive to and dismissive of my experience as a detransitioner.
Detransitioners have to relive trauma every time we share our stories. This is not the first time I've been dismissed.
@SofiavdLinde
I stabilized emotionally though addressing my physical health like bodywork, adding meat back into my diet, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Doctors would just tell me to see a talk therapist. They never considered working on my physical health.
I was dissconnected from what I ate, and it showed in my mental health. I was so dysfunctional.
When I started eating meat and avoiding processed foods I finally started to stabilize emotionally.
I was recently interviewed by
@TuckerCarlson
to discuss my lawsuit against the gender therapists who approved my nonbinary top surgery.
You can find it on Fox New's website here:
This Christmas I was calm and present in the moment.
This was the first time I've ever felt that way during the holiday.
I am grateful that I addressed my physical health issues. It has given me a second life.
As an Oregon detransitioner, I am also impacted by this bill.
Even after hearing the stories from other detransitioners and myself, the representatives of my state decided we don't deserve care.
Oregon Democrat representatives want to deny care to people like this.
ICYMI, those who support the extremely problematic HB 2002 rejected amendments we proposed to cover
#detransition
care. They don’t want
#detransitioners
to have access to the medical treatments they need.

Thanks for having me on your podcast! Buck has been an advocate for detrans and speaking out against the trend of children transitioning. It was an honor speaking with you!
The FCC lost a 2021 lawsuit in federal court when the judge ruled the government failed to consider evidence of harm to the human brain and body from 5G and wireless radiation.

Like Chloe tweeted, a lot of detransitioners, including myself, are neurodivergent. This is common knowledge. Maybe you ought to look into our situation before giving us so much hate? Many of us have to compensate for our mental disabilities.
When I switched to cooking with animal fats and going mostly carnivore, I lost a lot of weight. I'm now the size I was in high school. What you eat and what you cook with makes a huge difference.
Since Twitter has been censoring my tweet about fundraising for my lawsuit, I've had to change the text around it
Here's to hoping it wont get flagged this time🤞
