Doctors were ‘flying away’ with transgender treatments on vulnerable children like me

“I feel like we’re all in the process of getting started,” said a clinician with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), according to a recent report revealing a recording of what proponents of so-called gender-affirming care say when they think no one is watching. “And [that’s] ok, you do that too. But maybe we could just do it together. »
The “that” they “stole” was my body. Their recklessness left me with lifelong scars, both physical and psychological.
I was only about fifteen years old when I discovered transgender. Much of what I heard resonated with me. I hated myself and my body. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and anorexia, so I was no stranger to being uncomfortable in my own body. I had gone to the doctor to get help with my mental state and after my first appointment, I left with an approval letter for testosterone.

A single appointment led me down the path of permanent destruction and mutilation. I believed my doctors when they told me that girls could become boys and that removing my breasts was the “life-saving treatment” I needed to avoid suicide. I truly believed the doctors who said that transition would be the cure for my mental and emotional distress.

I was not well enough or old enough to understand that I was being medically abused or that destroying and discarding healthy parts of my body would only make my trauma worse. Yet those who call themselves “medical professionals” don’t care. After all, they were flying it.
Doctors are required to “do no harm”. As a teenager struggling with serious mental health issues, I was unaware that I was being experimented on. I went to these doctors because I needed help. A real help. I was distressed, mentally ill and suicidal. By all accounts, I was a vulnerable little girl and the last thing I needed was to go under the knife.
There are entire areas dedicated to stabilizing young people in crisis. None of these protocols include experimentation on healthy, developing bodies. None of them involves pushing children into irreversible suffering. None of them involve imposing permanent procedures on children without long-term data, consensus, or basic precautions.

This particular news story was incredibly painful to read. The phrase “fly away” has been ringing in my mind for days. But that’s precisely what happened to me, and it’s what happens to countless other people. My story is unfortunately just one of many and I choose to speak out.
The consequences of these doctors “flying away” haunt me every day. They are there when I look in the mirror and when I use the bathroom. They are there when I bond with my children. Every aspect of my daily life is a reminder of what was done to me under the guise of “compassion.”
When I see the life-changing consequences that I have no choice but to endure, I wonder how any medical professional, institution, or organization charged with the lives of children could justify this recklessness. How could they play with the future of thousands of children’s lives, including mine?

The truth is this: the doctors never thought about my future. They considered their ideologies, personal agendas, and pocketbooks above the lives of the very people they cared for. I have a baby now, a child whose life has been shaped by the medical decisions forced on me when I was far too young and unstable to consent to what was happening.
Because of the doctors who operated on me when I was so young, I was unable to breastfeed my son. My body was never designed to handle male hormones and surgeries that cut off healthy breasts. Yet those in charge, those who were supposed to protect me, ignored their own uncertainty and made decisions anyway.
They were flying it. With my life. With my child’s life. With the lives of countless young patients who trust them.

As a suicidal teenager, I sought what I was told would be life-saving care. What I didn’t realize was that the doctors charged with caring for me were rewriting my future and putting it in the hands of people who had no desire to treat my mental illness. Now that the truth is out, the question I keep coming back to is painfully simple:
Why didn’t my doctors care enough to protect me?

Whatever the answer to that question, what matters is that the medical community be held accountable, not only for the harm already caused to people like me, but also for preventing vulnerable children from experiencing what I did. No young person should ever again be subjected to irreversible interventions based on guesswork.
No parent should be pressured to consent to experimental medicine disguised as certainty. And no child should grow up learning that the adults in their care are making it up as they go along.
