The Dangers of Gender-Affirming Care

What happens when a child is told she is born in the wrong body and undergoes life-altering surgery only to experience regret? A growing number of young Americans are being manipulated by social media and pushed by medical professionals to take hormones and undergo surgery. Now, many are finding the courage to detransition and warn others about their experience.

Featuring interviews with:

- Detransitioners Daisy Strongin and Abel Garcia

- Transgenderism expert and fellow at the Manhattan Institute Leor Sapir

- Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, whose clients are suing healthcare providers for performing “gender-affirming” surgery on minors

DETRANS serves as a wake-up call to all of us: our children are in danger and it’s up to us to protect them.

To hear the confession “it was the closest I could come to killing myself without actually doing it” is hands down the most enlightening thing I have heard in the transgender debate. The importance of that revelation cannot be overstated.

[Bullidom]

Start holding these doctors and therapists accountable

[bunnygirl]

I was a depressed teen tomboy in the 90’s, who was bullied and didn’t feel comfortable in my own body (seriously what teen does). Glad I grew up in the 90’s or this could have been me. Glad to be female.

[triciakiah]

It took a doctor 6 months to agree to my gastric bypass surgery-I had to meet with multiple doctors at age 45 to convince them to change my digestive system! I had to go through counseling, make diet changes all to reroute my stomach. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING that teens (NOT ADULTS) can be given life changing hormones & surgeries after a half hour with ONE doctor! SCARY!

[nadineashrose]

Hi! I'm Ashtyn Eskridge from the end credits. This was an amazing documentary and everything was said so well. I'm so glad that other detransitioners are fighting this battle alongside me to stop what happened to us from happening to others. I was rapidly put on cross sex hormones at 15 years old. This needs to stop. Thank you for giving us a voice!

[kasibryant]

I am a Choir teacher in a public high school. I’ve only been teaching eight years. Seeing this ideology spread so fast and poison my students’ minds and hearts…there are no words to describe the grief I feel for them. They’re being lied to by every adult in their life and anybody who loves them enough to tell them the truth is deemed as hateful and trans phobic. It’s heartbreaking.

[MimosaRose]

“I didn’t want to be who I was.” This is evil. Daisy, thank you for speaking out.

[lisaeshleman]

I followed Daisy back as "Ollie" while taking a Gender Studies class in high school which inadvertently opened my eyes to this reality. So so proud of the mother she is now. Glad these stories are being told.

[kimweidner]

“My name is Daisy, and I am a woman.” Said with such a beautiful, poignant smile - which brought tears to my eyes. Enlightening documentary.

[emilyyyy]

I can't believe I am living through this in my lifetime. Living through history in real time is chilling

[slowpoke]

More people need to speak out against this transitioning of children.

[emtradcat]

This doc started off so sad and bleak, but the end was so filled with hope and made me feel good. I am Emma and I am an ftmtf detransitioned woman. That's the first time I've called myself a woman online in 8 years.

[jefferydebbink]

Daisy is so fortunate to be able to still get pregnant. Too bad there are too many women who detransitioned and sadly no longer have the ability to give birth.

[keleye]

The fact that they sent a letter for bottom surgery without the person even asking is bone chilling. Please protect our kids 🙏

[Sackless_Jack]

My name is Airiel D. Salvatore.

I’m a detransitioner.
Born male.
I took cross sex hormones for 18 years.
I’ve seen many therapists and doctors, and not a single one helped me to uncover that my meth addicted farther was the cause of my gender dysphoria.

I know what it’s like to regret bottom surgery…

[sheusedu]

As a transgender guy who transitioned as an adult, this breaks my heart and I have a great deal of sympathy for these people. I truly hope these people can find peace one day if they haven’t already. Gender dysphoria is a serious condition but the way our medical system treats it is totally backwards and leaves way too much room for error, especially for kids. Only in the rare cases that the gender dysphoria persists into adulthood and only after years of intensive therapy should gender transition even be considered. No child should ever be subjected to it. If we could just follow those two simple guidelines, I know for a fact that de transition rates would drop significantly.

[alias]

Many of us were awkward teens. I was a little tomboyish as a teen and told by a few girls in gym class locker room that I had a weird body. The next day I forgot about it. Because what they said means nothing to me and it didn't killed me. Anyway I was independent even as a child and teenager. Glad that was in 70's and 80's.

[TTS-TP]

A good friend from grade school went through this journey. He moved out of state, add bottom surgery done, ended up in multiple toxic, destructive relationships that were severely abusive, tried to kill himself, then finally came to the realization.
3 years after not seeing him, or hearing from him, he returned to his family and has since then, detransitioned in his early thirties.

[baldeagle-cqjl]

"Those words, that's where I felt like I could diagnose myself", is a parent's worst nightmare. Daisy's spirit is beautiful. I wish all of these people had her spirit. Irreversible damage is real. Great documentary. Should be seen in every school and parents home.

PragerU:

I am in film school at present, and whenever people ask me "So, like, what do you want to actually _do_ with that?" I tell them that I want to make documentaries for alternative journalistic entities, such as PragerU. And, this documentary is precisely the kind of material I want to create for you guys. This was a powerhouse of a short-form documentary; absolutely mind-blowing to see how many people are being hurt in this way, and are now clawing their way back to their sense of normal self-identity.

This could easily have been a feature length, but I'm sure you guys have your reasons why it wasn't.

Absolutely incredible work. You guys are both courageous and demonstrate integrity at every possible turn.
