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.
Katie Lennon was given hormones and a double mastectomy as a teenager and eventually got a full hysterectomy.

“So in other words, I went through a social transition from female to male,” she said. And there was no one to challenge that decision out of love and sincere desire for her future welfare. “Everyone in my life immediately affirmed my new identity, either out of full support for it or just to stay neutral and not cause any issues. The constant affirmation, both active and passive, solidified me in my transgender identity.” The adults in her life failed her because they didn’t want to be considered intolerant or unkind.
Lennon was very forgiving of those who encouraged her gender dysphoria. “No one meant to lock me into an identity that would later leave me broken, ashamed, and more confused than before. They were really all just being nice, but the social transition eventually wasn't enough, and I soon felt I needed to take testosterone,” she stated. “And when that wasn't enough, I had a double mastectomy, and when that still wasn't enough, I had a total hysterectomy, including the removal of my uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and both ovaries.”
This young lady has realized that the body God gave her was right to begin with, but too late to reverse that heartbreaking mutilation. “There's no point of contentment during a gender transition. We get fleeting moments of euphoria, but ultimately, one step leads straight into the next, and I thought that in the end, I could really become a man, but all I became was a mutilated and abused version of my old self,” Lennon testified.
She warned, “Social transition is a big deal and we're lying when we say that any of this is reversible.”
Transgender “treatments” including puberty blockers can stunt development, drive suicidal ideation, weaken bones, make people infertile, and cause other severe harms. The majority of “transgenders” are depressed, especially transgender minors, and the majority of children with gender dysphoria naturally grow out of it.
Between the blinded woke ideologues and the medical institutions making millions off “transgender treatments,” young Americans are being rushed into irreversible and extremely damaging life choices. That is entirely unacceptable. We must stand up for our children, and thus save our future.
