How does the transgender ideology driving permanently body-altering “treatments” affect real people who regret their transitions? One detransitioner told her tragic story as a victim of the woke insanity prioritized over science and truly compassionate care.
One theme among detransitioners is that they identified as transgender during a point in puberty when they were uncomfortable with their changing bodies. Instead of being encouraged to embrace their bodies, they were encouraged to believe that they should masquerade as the opposite sex and cut off body parts. Some of them were even told that they inevitably would commit suicide or experience other seriously disturbing future effects if they did not agree to be transitioned. In Katie Lennon’s case, the lies and surgeries left her “mutilated and abused.”
Lennon, in the video clip shared by Gays Against Groomers, began by explaining she was a detransitioner who works and “worship[s]” in the district where a new transgender-related policy was proposed, hence her public testimony. “Like many children and teens today, I identified myself as transgender for years, and when I started to feel confused and ashamed about my developing body, I asked everyone in my life to call me by a new name and use male pronouns to refer to me,” Lennon explained.
