It is incredibly brave for Ms. Breen to come forward and share such a painful, personal situation. I hope she knows how important her testimony is for other lost souls who have been permanently damaged by this horrible period in human history.

I'm a therapist and have worked with two different teens who were identitying as trans. I never set an agenda. I allowed the space for both to navigate the origins of this questioning. Both have now moved on to healing and a healthy identity of their self. I do not believe vulnerable children have the ability to make such a life alternating decision.

Like Clementine, I shortly found my way out of trans identification after working with a CBT/DBT trained therapist and doing a series of imaginal exposures on certain traumatic events in my life. I was able to take the techniques learned to work through my own experiences of SA.

Nearly all of the detransitioners/desisters and trans-ID'd youth I've met (I've met over 100) have been survivors of SA.

Thank you for having her on Dr. Peterson!

i am a desister. ive been to trans "therapy" its you describing how you think youre trans and the therapist validating everything you say. its not therapy.

This is the story for so, so many trans people. They’re suffering tremendously from one thing or another and become convinced (usually with outside influence) that if they “transition” their suffering will be over. But then they come to find that isn’t true, and that fall is too much for many to bear.

[MarleneMeier]

They used to give you a psychological evaluation for people to get plastic surgery because people were aware of body dismorphic disorder knowing that changing your body doesn't help emotionally which most young teens have issues with.

I'm also detransitioner. Once I understood my sexual trauma I could get rid of all that confussion. Transitioning triggered full awareness for all my negative sexual memories. Ican not regret It, It actually helped me to understand. It was very difficult, I was about to lose track but finally I survived. Thank God I did not went through surgeries. Despiste all I can not regret It. Now I feel free, now I understand who I am.

[robfelts]

Wow! What a brave person to come and speak so candidly.

[PaulAshley]

I'm so happy she's found her way through this.

[danielk]

Lord have mercy. I pray she receives all the grace that she needs

[tarafox]

What a testimony to good therapy. Thank God for her second therapist for focusing on the right areas needing healing and not applying a dystopian bandaid.

[OmegaFalcon]

People still insist nobody is getting surgery at 14 bro...

[PattyAnneSwafford]

She is beautiful. Prayers for her. What a great interview.

[keitoth]

JP is really at one of his finest moments here in my opinion. He continually asks her to explain or unpack her statements. Magnificent.

[jmin]

When she said she had top surgery and 14/15, my heart just sank. Poor girl. Just a child.

[Jrbski]

Fantastic discussion, I hope this gets to people who need to hear it.

[elisabettam.]

I love Jordan, he looks for the truth asking questions.

[Justagirlygirlll]

Thought I was trans when I was in my most depressed state. Dr. gave me lots of antidepressants. I got off of them due to weight gain, and general laziness. The withdrawals were so damn intense it's unfair to even prescribe them to people.

Turned out I was not trans, but just wanted validation, and blamed my issues on other people instead of fixing them.

Now I am a very happy Catholic woman, as I should be. ❤

[jamescrump]

People who suffer sexual abuse, and assaults, are often badly affected later in life. This can easily ruin lives.

[pascaltomasovic]

I'm just really happy she's better now. I feel sorry for so many lost people.
