>> 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.
