I had a great time recording for @IWF with another brave detransitioner, my friend @SorenAldaco. Both of us are suing our doctors for transitioning us beginning as minors.

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

I'm so sick of waking up to the crushing reality that the man who blocked my puberty and molded my body with hormones to make me attractive to men, my abuser, got away completely free. His university is still deleting evidence they had posted of their child and adolescent gender program, because the lawyers in this space CHOSE to do nothing. I can't keep avoiding the topic as it's creating a situation where I can't talk about these topics at all without addressing my situation. I really don't know how I can move forward knowing this abuser was able to keep abusing kids because some people have politicized their fight and decided they don't care to help all victims, despite what is said publicly. Some of these people are kind to some victims but they certainly are not fair to everyone. Some have brought up the SOL, but most detrans cases are out of the SOL. Isn't that exactly what everyone is fighting? I mean seriously. It makes me sick every single day I have to open my eyes and see my breasts and stunted body in the mirror I see my abusers face haunting me every time like some sort of nightmare that won't go away. To all the conservative lawyers who could have done something and decided I wasn't worth it, one day when Daniel is also arrested like Bryan Sack was for abusing kids I'm going to remind you that you could have stopped him but you chose not too. I'm grateful for what support I've received via Genspect. They are an amazing group of people, I wish we could get more attorneys who have a spine and a functional moral compass to go after the bigger fish in the pediatric gender sphere. I'm also sick of these same conservative affiliated legal folks wanting to use/publicize my records, telling me I have no claim, yet wanting me to agree to never receiving compensatory damages for what was done to me, I just feel so many people in this space started out good until they saw money and a chance to politicize their fight and operate from their preconceived biases. It's really shameful.

Unfortunately, this part is textbook⬇️ -A school district focuses on “inclusion & belonging”—however, traditional parents aren’t included and only radical politics belong in the school. -A counselor starts the “social transitioning” process with a child…unbeknownst to parents until it’s too late. -Teachers affirm the new “chosen identity” in secret. What is shocking in this Massachusetts case⬇️ -When parents wouldn’t go along with social transitioning— because of their Catholic faith —DCF showed up and took their 15-year-old daughter. -She’s seventeen now, and the state still has her in custody! Not only that, there is a restraining order on the mother, father, and older brother. -She is currently housed her with boys and was prescribed birth control and psychiatric medication. -She was scheduled to receive her first high-dose testosterone “treatment” until a judge finally said no — at least for now.

Pitfalls of finding a therapist in Michigan as a detransitioner: This morning I went looking for a new therapist. I still have a fuck ton of trauma and depression to deal with. I know I need therapy. What I cannot do anymore is therapy within a framework that requires me to interpret my life through “gender affirmation.” I tried that with my last therapist after detransitioning. I don’t want to hear that “everyone’s journey is different.” I need someone willing to talk about objective reality, trauma, disability, grief, sex, and what actually happened to me without tiptoeing around transgender ideology. So I started hunting. The most promising therapist I found was an older woman who specializes in trauma and spirituality. I honestly clicked on her picture because she looked older and wiser 😂 At 44, I WANT someone older than me. Someone who has seen some shit. So I emailed her. Then I kept reading her bio. SHE’S AN ORDAINED REVEREND. Well. That changes things. Here I am returning to Christianity after decades away, going back to Mass, reading the Bible every morning, trying to understand my life through a spiritual lens again—and completely by accident, the one therapist out of dozens who immediately stood out to me turns out to be an ordained minister who specializes in trauma. Okay then. Maybe the older spiritual lady wasn’t such a random click after all. Because rebuilding my trust in therapy is going to be part of the therapy itself. Therapists wrote the letters that helped open the doors to hormones and surgeries for me. I came frighteningly close to phalloplasty. I eventually had to confront the possibility that what desperately needed attention wasn’t an internal male identity at all, but years of trauma, disability, losing my fertility, and everything that happened to me psychologically around those experiences. Some detransitioners primarily blame doctors. I have a lot of anger toward the therapy profession. I don’t need platitudes anymore. I don’t need ideology. I don’t need someone terrified to challenge me. I want clinical rigor. Challenge me. Question me. Tell me when I’m full of shit. Help me dissect what happened and why. And let me talk completely uncensored about transition and detransition without treating affirmation as the predetermined destination. Being a detransitioner who NEEDS therapy presents one hell of a problem when you no longer trust the therapeutic framework that helped you transition in the first place. Maybe finding someone who understands both trauma and spirituality is exactly what I need at this point in my life. Let’s REALLY hope the older spiritual reverend lady works out 🙏

This is superb. The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”. Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote. Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it. Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.

Megyn Kelly on gender transitions and hormone blockers is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Victims of transgender ideology deserve their day in court. A two-year statute of limitations can expire before a detransitioner fully recognizes what happened, connects later medical or psychological harm to the treatment, obtains records, and finds an attorney. The research shows why: • A survey of 100 detransitioners found that participants remained transitioned for an average of 3.9 years before deciding to detransition. link.springer.com/article/10… • A 2025 paper in JAMA Network Open noted that published transition-to-detransition timelines have ranged from 4.7 to 8.5 years, depending on sex and how the starting point was defined. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… • A 2024 systematic review concluded that detransition remains insufficiently investigated, identified inadequate study timeframes as a limitation, and called for long-term follow-up. doi.org/10.1093/jsxmed/qdae1… These studies demonstrate that recognition and detransition can occur well beyond two years. The courthouse door should not close before an injured victim understands the harm that was done to them. Legislatures should provide longer filing periods, meaningful discovery rules, and adequate time after adulthood for people treated as minors and young adults. Detransitioners deserve the opportunity to seek accountability from those who harmed them.
