    I am a woman with no breasts. I haven't had a normal female body since I was 20-
    years-old, but it's not because of a tragic accident, birth defect, or cancer. My
    body was born healthy, my breasts grew fine, and in most ways I am a normal 28- year-old. As developmentally appropriate, I dream of finding a mate, getting married, and having children, but this natural ambition has been delayed because
    instead of learning the necessary life skills to mature into adulthood, my teens
    and early twenties were spent in hell.

    I grew up in a spiritual body modification cult: transgenderism.

    A quirky tomboy on the autism spectrum, I didn't dress or act like other girls my
    age, and with my emotional struggles with severe depression and anxiety, I believed I would make a bad mother and never wanted children.

    In fact, I thought I made a terrible girl in general. I never wore makeup or felt
    pretty, and I related only to male characters in the media. Puberty, along with social awkwardness and alienating idiosyncrasies, was rough and lonesome. By the
    time I was 14, my Tumblr blog was my sole source of connection.

    True Christian families would have provided more patience, love, and acceptance,
    but my father was not a Godly man. Emotionally weak and tyrannical, my father raged and tormented me for most of my adolescence, calling me worthless, disgusting, and unwanted. While he screamed and laughed I locked myself in my room, in tears. Though Catholic and compassionate, my mother failed to protect me, and the abuse endured.

    Besides the hidden abuse, my Midwestern family was of typical democratic persuasion, supporting increased public school funding, feminism, and gay marriage. Along with my dad's abusive messages, I absorbed Leftist views, and when joining Tumblr was ecstatic to participate in social justice causes like Black Lives Matter, smashing the patriarchy, and of course, queering one's gender.

    I was 15 when I came out as nonbinary, a revelation that felt like my androgyny and nonconformity were finally appreciated. Tumblr activists rejoiced. My Left- leaning advanced English teacher who ran the school's Gay-Straight Alliance club
    validated my "genderqueer" identity, and my progressive peers sympathized with my
    unconventional appearance under the queer label.

    In my naivety, I thought gender identity would free me from the conventional standards of femininity that I had always rejected. I wanted to be loved as an eccentric personality, not be the helpless female victim that both woke discourse
    and my father instilled was my destiny.

    Though I was suicidal with untreated PTSD from childhood abuse, gender ideology and its well-intentioned but ignorant leftist champions taught me that distress around my body and identity meant I was trans, that gender dysphoria could only be cured through medicalization.

    At my LGBTQ-inclusive college, my trans-identifying professor of "Sociology of Sexuality" groomed me into the body modification cult ritual of injecting testosterone. I was prescribed the steroid at 19 in a one hour appointment -- the
    compassionate LGBT clinic nurse practitioner nodding along with the hoax that if
    a patient is suicidal with gender issues, they must urgently need hormones, not counseling which is slandered as "conversion therapy."

    The "life-saving care" predictably caused a mental breakdown as my body masculinized and I mentally deteriorated. Then, after only seven months of HRT, I
    was approved for surgery. At 20, before I was legally old enough to buy alcohol,
    my breasts were sliced off and thrown in the trash. It would be two more years of
    trauma living as a trans-identified "gay man" before I would be correctly diagnosed with PTSD and realize that I was never a boy, just a wounded girl. I was always meant to be a woman. At 22 I began detransitioning, and I wasn't alone.

    Since 2019, I and other detransitioners like Chloe Cole, Prisha Moseley, and Ritchie Herron have blown the whistle on transgender "health." Victims have found
    their voices, exposed their scars, and formed coalitions across the world via the
    free speech app X.

    Detransitioners connect with concerned parents, professionals, and journalists in
    independent media who are mortified to learn that the unthinkable has happened in
    Western nations-brainwashing, mutilation, and sterilization of mentally ill children and vulnerable young adults.

    How did liberalism cannibalize itself so abhorrently?

    Like the currently trans-identified, detransitioners were once quirky individualists who believed in the progressive promise of a free and just society, one where the disenfranchised were accepted, helped, and raised up into
    a diverse rainbow of love and tolerance. We advocated for bodily autonomy, mental
    health awareness, and voted blue no matter what, just like good, responsible citizens should. So we thought.

    The Left failed its vulnerable. It lied to autistic, confused, mentally ill teens
    telling them their bodies were wrong, and society was somehow to blame. The Left
    made it "transphobic" for a therapist to question a mentally ill patient's irrational beliefs, but "inclusive" for educators to teach that "male" and "female" are outdated and hurtful.

    As I awoke to the horrors of what was done to my body in the name of progress, I
    also awoke to the callous nihilism of the Left overall. Queer ideology is anti- progress, anti-human, anti-reality. Through grueling years of daily therapy and healing in my mid twenties I not only became ex-trans, but ex-Left. As I studied
    interpersonal abuse dynamics like those I grew up in with my dad, I saw the same
    pattern of manipulation and gaslighting occur from the Left when my friends or I
    spoke of detransition. Immediately upon realizing the illusions we suffered, in the eyes of our former comrades, we become Right-wing bigots, subhuman.

    For the raw, comprehensive story of why girls transition and how to detransition
    and recover, I have written a memoir releasing in late 2025, "Surviving the Trans
    Myth." Detransitioners take healing from the biggest medical scandal of our time
    into our own hands, as the love from leftist institutions evaporates once their facade is exposed.

    The Left claims to care about trauma victims, but detransitioners prove otherwise. I have tried to publish articles and do interviews with leftist outlets but have been met with worse than ignorance-avoidance, denial, apathy.

    Once an emotionally-dysregulated queer activist who thought Trump would slaughter
    the trans population, I was hurt over the cultist's "conservative" accusations until I realized some things are worth conserving.

    My body was.

    When I was approached by Turning Point USA Productions to share my story in a mainstream conservative documentary, that old leftist fear was replaced with newfound strength to fight for what was left of my body-my heart, mind, and soul.
    The Daily Wire film, Identity Crisis rawly captures my medical abuse, and exposes
    the outcomes of the gender snake oil the Left sold.

    The film explains the hydra of gender ideology and its history, exhibiting how it
    crept into every institution and exploded into online youth culture, while following personal stories of detransitioners' struggle for self-acceptance, parents Adam Vena and Harrison Tinsely who lost custody of their sons for not affirming their trans identity, and professionals like Dr. Joe Burgo, a psychotherapist who despite being an expert on shame, cannot treat gender dysphoric patients without losing his license.

    As for me, the night I watched Identity Crisis debut and saw my trauma on the big
    screen was a bittersweet coalescence of grief and gratitude.

    Though I've moved on from the cult, nihilism, and mental illness, acknowledging the magnitude of loss will always create some self-doubt about fulfilling my dreams. After the film ended, I cried for the woman I could have been:

    "I just want to be a normal woman. I want to have a normal, feminine, beautiful body. But I never will."

    My sexual organs were removed because nobody cared to help me process my childhood abuse that made me direct hatred inward. I am thankful to be the woman
    I am, but this was all unnecessary.

    If there is one lesson I've learned from leaving the Left, it's that the Right must step up where the Left has failed. Conservatives have an opportunity to offer a counter-narrative that prioritizes safeguarding children and promoting thoughtful, evidence-based approaches to gender issues.

    Here are a few steps the Right can take:

    * Advocate for Responsible Policies: Speak on legislation that ensures patients
    receive thorough mental health evaluations before accessing medical
    interventions. Protect parental rights while fostering environments that
    encourage open dialogue rather than ideological conformity.

    * Support Detransitioners: Create spaces where detransitioners can share their
    stories without fear of judgment or erasure. Acknowledge their experiences as
    survivors and offer healing from whatever toolkit you have.

    * Promote Mental Health: Address the root causes of gender distress -- including
    social isolation, sexual confusion, and mental health issues -- rather than
    colluding with the transition placebo.

    Detransition is a testament to human resilience and the desire for growth even in
    the face of immense pain and loss. My story is not just a cautionary tale but a call to action. It is a plea for compassion, responsibility, and courage from all
    sides of the political spectrum.

    The fight for a healthier, stronger, and more truthful life starts with us.

    F00P!so

    I actually read the whole thing. I feel sorry for her and other
    children taken advantage of by this "woke" quackery, to butcher their
    bodies for profit, when most of them probably just needed counseling
    to help them adjust to going through puberty.

    F00P!> F00P!> Though I was suicidal with untreated PTSD from childhood abuse, gender ideology
    F00P!> F00P!> and its well-intentioned but ignorant leftist champions taught me that distress
    F00P!> F00P!> around my body and identity meant I was trans, that gender dysphoria could only
    F00P!> F00P!> be cured through medicalization.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> At my LGBTQ-inclusive college, my trans-identifying professor of "Sociology of
    F00P!> F00P!> Sexuality" groomed me into the body modification cult ritual of injecting
    F00P!> F00P!> testosterone. I was prescribed the steroid at 19 in a one hour appointment -- the
    F00P!> F00P!> compassionate LGBT clinic nurse practitioner nodding along with the hoax that if
    F00P!> F00P!> a patient is suicidal with gender issues, they must urgently need hormones, not
    F00P!> F00P!> counseling which is slandered as "conversion therapy."
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> The "life-saving care" predictably caused a mental breakdown as my body
    F00P!> F00P!> masculinized and I mentally deteriorated. Then, after only seven months of HRT, I
    F00P!> F00P!> was approved for surgery. At 20, before I was legally old enough to buy alcohol,
    F00P!> F00P!> my breasts were sliced off and thrown in the trash. It would be two more years of
    F00P!> F00P!> trauma living as a trans-identified "gay man" before I would be correctly
    F00P!> F00P!> diagnosed with PTSD and realize that I was never a boy, just a wounded girl. I
    F00P!> F00P!> was always meant to be a woman. At 22 I began detransitioning, and I wasn't
    F00P!> F00P!> alone.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Since 2019, I and other detransitioners like Chloe Cole, Prisha Moseley, and
    F00P!> F00P!> Ritchie Herron have blown the whistle on transgender "health." Victims have found
    F00P!> F00P!> their voices, exposed their scars, and formed coalitions across the world via the
    F00P!> F00P!> free speech app X.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Detransitioners connect with concerned parents, professionals, and journalists in
    F00P!> F00P!> independent media who are mortified to learn that the unthinkable has happened in
    F00P!> F00P!> Western nations-brainwashing, mutilation, and sterilization of mentally ill
    F00P!> F00P!> children and vulnerable young adults.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> How did liberalism cannibalize itself so abhorrently?
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Like the currently trans-identified, detransitioners were once quirky
    F00P!> F00P!> individualists who believed in the progressive promise of a free and just
    F00P!> F00P!> society, one where the disenfranchised were accepted, helped, and raised up into
    F00P!> F00P!> a diverse rainbow of love and tolerance. We advocated for bodily autonomy, mental
    F00P!> F00P!> health awareness, and voted blue no matter what, just like good, responsible
    F00P!> F00P!> citizens should. So we thought.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> The Left failed its vulnerable. It lied to autistic, confused, mentally ill teens
    F00P!> F00P!> telling them their bodies were wrong, and society was somehow to blame. The Left
    F00P!> F00P!> made it "transphobic" for a therapist to question a mentally ill patient's
    F00P!> F00P!> irrational beliefs, but "inclusive" for educators to teach that "male" and
    F00P!> F00P!> "female" are outdated and hurtful.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> As I awoke to the horrors of what was done to my body in the name of progress, I
    F00P!> F00P!> also awoke to the callous nihilism of the Left overall. Queer ideology is anti-
    F00P!> F00P!> progress, anti-human, anti-reality. Through grueling years of daily therapy and
    F00P!> F00P!> healing in my mid twenties I not only became ex-trans, but ex-Left. As I studied
    F00P!> F00P!> interpersonal abuse dynamics like those I grew up in with my dad, I saw the same
    F00P!> F00P!> pattern of manipulation and gaslighting occur from the Left when my friends or I
    F00P!> F00P!> spoke of detransition. Immediately upon realizing the illusions we suffered, in
    F00P!> F00P!> the eyes of our former comrades, we become Right-wing bigots, subhuman.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> For the raw, comprehensive story of why girls transition and how to detransition
    F00P!> F00P!> and recover, I have written a memoir releasing in late 2025, "Surviving the Trans
    F00P!> F00P!> Myth." Detransitioners take healing from the biggest medical scandal of our time
    F00P!> F00P!> into our own hands, as the love from leftist institutions evaporates once their
    F00P!> F00P!> facade is exposed.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> The Left claims to care about trauma victims, but detransitioners prove
    F00P!> F00P!> otherwise. I have tried to publish articles and do interviews with leftist
    F00P!> F00P!> outlets but have been met with worse than ignorance-avoidance, denial, apathy.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Once an emotionally-dysregulated queer activist who thought Trump would slaughter
    F00P!> F00P!> the trans population, I was hurt over the cultist's "conservative" accusations
    F00P!> F00P!> until I realized some things are worth conserving.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> My body was.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> When I was approached by Turning Point USA Productions to share my story in a
    F00P!> F00P!> mainstream conservative documentary, that old leftist fear was replaced with
    F00P!> F00P!> newfound strength to fight for what was left of my body-my heart, mind, and soul.
    F00P!> F00P!> The Daily Wire film, Identity Crisis rawly captures my medical abuse, and exposes
    F00P!> F00P!> the outcomes of the gender snake oil the Left sold.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> The film explains the hydra of gender ideology and its history, exhibiting how it
    F00P!> F00P!> crept into every institution and exploded into online youth culture, while
    F00P!> F00P!> following personal stories of detransitioners' struggle for self-acceptance,
    F00P!> F00P!> parents Adam Vena and Harrison Tinsely who lost custody of their sons for not
    F00P!> F00P!> affirming their trans identity, and professionals like Dr. Joe Burgo, a
    F00P!> F00P!> psychotherapist who despite being an expert on shame, cannot treat gender
    F00P!> F00P!> dysphoric patients without losing his license.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> As for me, the night I watched Identity Crisis debut and saw my trauma on the big
    F00P!> F00P!> screen was a bittersweet coalescence of grief and gratitude. F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Though I've moved on from the cult, nihilism, and mental illness, acknowledging
    F00P!> F00P!> the magnitude of loss will always create some self-doubt about fulfilling my
    F00P!> F00P!> dreams. After the film ended, I cried for the woman I could have been:
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> "I just want to be a normal woman. I want to have a normal, feminine, beautiful
    F00P!> F00P!> body. But I never will."
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> My sexual organs were removed because nobody cared to help me process my
    F00P!> F00P!> childhood abuse that made me direct hatred inward. I am thankful to be the woman
    F00P!> F00P!> I am, but this was all unnecessary.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> If there is one lesson I've learned from leaving the Left, it's that the Right
    F00P!> F00P!> must step up where the Left has failed. Conservatives have an opportunity to
    F00P!> F00P!> offer a counter-narrative that prioritizes safeguarding children and promoting
    F00P!> F00P!> thoughtful, evidence-based approaches to gender issues.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Here are a few steps the Right can take:
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> * Advocate for Responsible Policies: Speak on legislation that ensures patients
    F00P!> F00P!> receive thorough mental health evaluations before accessing medical
    F00P!> F00P!> interventions. Protect parental rights while fostering environments that
    F00P!> F00P!> encourage open dialogue rather than ideological conformity. F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> * Support Detransitioners: Create spaces where detransitioners can share their
    F00P!> F00P!> stories without fear of judgment or erasure. Acknowledge their experiences as
    F00P!> F00P!> survivors and offer healing from whatever toolkit you have. F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> * Promote Mental Health: Address the root causes of gender distress -- including
    F00P!> F00P!> social isolation, sexual confusion, and mental health issues -- rather than
    F00P!> F00P!> colluding with the transition placebo.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> Detransition is a testament to human resilience and the desire for growth even in
    F00P!> F00P!> the face of immense pain and loss. My story is not just a cautionary tale but a
    F00P!> F00P!> call to action. It is a plea for compassion, responsibility, and courage from all
    F00P!> F00P!> sides of the political spectrum.
    F00P!> F00P!>
    F00P!> F00P!> The fight for a healthier, stronger, and more truthful life starts with us.
