00:06 >> From when I was very young, around five years old,

00:10 I felt like I was limited in what I could do in life as a girl or as a woman.

00:16 >> By the time I was about 13, I was starting to feel really depressed.

00:21 I started self harming.

00:22 I started developing an eating disorder.

00:24 I was introduced to a belief system.

00:29 >> If you don't fit in, that's a sign that you're trans.

00:31 If you don't like your body, then that's a sign that you're trans.

00:34 And if you transition, all of these problems will be fixed.

00:38 >> When I was 22, I started injecting testosterone into my body,

00:45 so that I could medically transition from female to male.

00:48 >> Pretty much as soon as I turned 18, I made an appointment.

00:52 I went to Planned Parenthood.

00:54 One appointment took about an hour.

00:57 I called Planned Parenthood, we had about a 30 minute phone conversation, and

01:01 then I was prescribed testosterone over the phone.

01:04 >> I was saying stuff like, I think that I'm gonna be so

01:06 much happier after I transition.

01:08 I'm really depressed now, and I'm suicidal, but

01:12 everything's gonna be so much better after I transition.

01:14 >> I have to say there was a small underlying anxiety

01:21 beneath the excitement that was a fear that I might be doing something wrong.

01:30 [MUSIC]

01:33 >> My life just became a total disaster.

01:38 >> And then right after the surgery, I had been hit with these awful

01:43 feelings of having made a huge mistake, undeniable, just like, no, what have I done?

01:50 I was looking down at my body and seeing these weeping gashes on my chest and

01:56 just having the most awful feeling.

02:01 >> Every year we don't stop this.

02:03 How many hundreds or thousands of young girls like me, like some of you,

02:08 how many of them are going to leap at the chance to have their newly lumpy chest

02:13 flattened out again by mastectomies before they stop being sore?

02:17 >> I was thinking about that and realizing I don't really feel better.

02:20 >> It just finally hit me that, my God, this has all been a mistake, everything.

02:26 >> I also don't really feel like a man,

02:28 I just feel like a woman who has had her breasts cut off.

02:32 [MUSIC]

02:34 >> It wasn't enough for me to just detransition and get on with my life.

02:37 I really wanted to understand what happened to me, and

02:40 I wanted to understand what was going on in the world.

02:43 >> We do our girls a disservice when we lie to them and

02:46 tell them they don't have to be women.

02:48 We tell them they can be anything they want to be, but

02:50 we have forgotten to tell them to love being who they are.

02:53 >> I wanted people to know that there is life after detransition,

02:56 even if you've made serious physical changes.

03:00 >> Woman, women, mother, mom, girls, girls, daughter.

03:06 To those people, the peddlers of transgender ideology,

03:10 these are not your words to give away.
