So much for the LIE that hospitals are not transitioning kids, some with surgery.
"I’m a detransitioner — Congress must stop hospitals’ abuse of kids like me"

'The media have focused endless attention on the many kids who are
trying to transition genders.
But what about the growing number of young adults who are
detransitioning — who regret the sex changes that doctors and nurses
told us to undergo when we were kids?
The young girls and boys who were lied to — who were abused — by the medical system we were told to trust when we were most impressionable,
most vulnerable?

Doctors trans-ing kids and teens:
What about people like me?
I ask these questions every day.
It’s been eight years since I started to transition — and four years
since I started to detransition.
I realized my mistake when I was 16 years old.
I’d tried to change genders before I was even a teenager.
March 12 is a sad yet meaningful day for people like me.
It’s what we call “Detransition Awareness Day.”

For the first time, Congress is introducing a resolution to mark this
day.
And this week, Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw will introduce a bill to
permanently protect kids from being forced down the dark road of gender transitioning.
Crenshaw’s bill is closely connected to President Trump’s executive
order banning federal funding for any medical facility that provides
sex-change treatments to kids.
While the president’s order is long overdue, it could easily be
overturned by a future administration — and right now, it’s on pause because of federal lawsuits.
Kids are still being hurt every day.
The new House bill would protect them. It cuts off, by law, much of the
federal funding for children’s hospitals that try to help kids do a sex change.
A huge number of US hospitals perpetrate this medical and moral
monstrosity — 54, according to the medical nonprofit Do No Harm.
More than 5,700 of those treatments were surgeries. Penises cut off.
Vaginas inverted. Breasts removed.
The kids who experience this horror will never be able to lead a normal
life.
I know because it happened to me.
When I first started my sex change, the doctors and nurses told me I
could go back.
I believed them when they put me on puberty blockers and cross-sex
hormones.
But I could tell that those drugs — those powerful, irreversible drugs — were changing my body.
Before long, I didn’t recognize my own face in the mirror.
I still believed the doctors when they told me to get a double
mastectomy.
I let them cut off my breasts.
To this day, I have wounds where they used to be.
Chloe Cole, an 18-year-old former trans boy, speaks during a press
conference on the Protecting Children's Innocence Act as the bill's
sponsor, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) stands behind her. The proposed
bill would prohibit the administration and teaching of gender-affirming healthcare to minors. It also would prhibit the use of federal funds
for gender-affirming care, including federal subsidies to private plans providing coverage. The bill has little chance of passing.

Not just scars.
Wounds that bleed.
If I ever have kids — and I’m not sure I can — I’ll never be able to breastfeed.
The doctors made sure of that.
And those same doctors refused to see me once I said I regretted it.
By the time I realized I’d made a mistake and couldn’t go back, by the
time I realized that the doctors and nurses and psychiatrists were
radicals who didn’t really care about me, the damage was done.
What happened to me should never happen to another kid — ever.
But every day, it does happen.
Children’s hospitals are ruining children’s lives in the name of radical transgender ideology.
They need to be stopped.
Those kids need to be protected from this insanity.

Their bodies need to be saved.
Their minds need to be saved.
Believe me when I say that trying to change your sex messes you up.
How could it not?
You’re trying to become something you’re not — something that so-called “experts” said you are, even though they don’t really know you or care about you.
No wonder so many people are trying to go back.
I’ve talked with hundreds of people who have detransitioned, almost all
of them teens and young adults.
If they’d waited a few years, they never would have tried a sex change.
But they were pushed along by people who should have known better.
On March 12, we’re asking Congress to protect kids from ever being
subjected to the pain we’ve felt. It’s time to cut off every penny of taxpayer funds to children’s hospitals that subject kids to sex changes.
And it’s time for the Department of Justice to make good on the
president’s order to investigate whether doctors are misleading kids
about the effects of sex-change drugs, like I was misled.
Detransitioners like me aren’t going anywhere. In fact, we’re only
getting more numerous, because more and more kids are being abused.
And we’re only going to get louder until Congress permanently protects America’s kids from the evil that was perpetrated against us'
