Even though we don’t know each other, I’m
writing you today hoping you’ll help me stop the horror
of what happened to me, from happening to other children and their
parents.
It all started when I
was 11 years old and growing up in Northern California. I was growing
embarrassed and confused once my body started changing.
I was also shy and
didn’t socialize easily – and I didn’t feel comfortable talking about
any of this with my parents.
But I found
‘friends’ on the internet who told me if I was uncomfortable with my
body, I was probably a boy trapped in the wrong body.
And the more I agreed
with them, the more they celebrated me.
I was getting the
message loud and clear: if I was a girl who became a boy, I’d be valued
and loved even more.
Before long I was
telling my parents I was transgender.
They had no idea what to
do.
My poor parents were
scared and desperate and took me to “experts” who convinced them that
if they failed to act quickly, I would surely commit suicide.
The gender
clinic gave my parents an ultimatum: “Would you rather have a dead
daughter or a living son?”
Given those choices, my
parents would have signed anything the doctors put in front of them if it
meant “saving” me. When they signed those forms, it wasn’t informed
parental consent. It was a desperate decision made under extreme
duress.
And so, at age 13, I was
fast-tracked for medical transition from a girl into a boy.
Will you help me fight so these radical doctors and
hospitals can’t prey on another scared, confused, lonely child like they
did me?
The doctors started
giving me weekly testosterone injections...they injected me with an
experimental drug used to chemically castrate sex offenders...
...and finally, they
removed my breasts in a radical double mastectomy.
I was fifteen years
old.
And of course, none of
this made me any happier or less confused.
If you’re like most
people I tell my story to... right about now you’re probably thinking,
“HOW did it ever get this far?”
And the answer is
simple.
The “experts” lied
to my parents -- and to me -- every step of the way.
They claimed I would
never get “better” unless I medically transitioned – when the truth
is that the vast majority of children who think they’re transgender grow
out of it with absolutely no chemical or surgical intervention.
They claimed their
consent forms covered all the risks of pumping testosterone and puberty
blockers into my 13-year-old body...
...while their forms
left out dozens and dozens of known risks.
They never told us that
there isn’t one single scientific study on the effects these treatments
have on young children.
And they never, ever,
were straight with me about what it would mean to let them remove my
breasts.
When I woke up from that
surgery, I was shocked at how mangled my body was. And now years after the
surgery, I still wear bandages every day to cover the oozing, unhealed
scars.
At age 18, I’m just
beginning to understand what it will mean to never nurse my child -- if
I’ll ever be able to have children at all.
For the rest of my life,
my voice will sound like a man’s, my body will look like a boy’s, and
who knows what cancers, cardiac problems, bone problems, and more are
lurking around the corner.
And my parents feel like
they’ve failed me on every level imaginable.
I can’t go back. I
can’t change what happened.
But I can change what
happens to the THOUSANDS of kids just like me who are falling prey to the
predatory transgender movement and unscrupulous abusive medical
“experts.” And YOU can help me.
More and more children
are mutilated and abused every day.
There’s even a
doctor who advertises her mutilation surgeries on TikTok to draw young kids
in.
And it won’t stop
until someone fights back.
When I turned 18, I
decided that someone would be me. I had no idea how I would do it, but
I’d seen enough T.V. to know I needed a lawyer.
I also didn’t know how
hard it would be to find someone willing to take my case in liberal
California. didn’t even know what a liberal was until they started
slamming doors in my face!
Finally, someone told me to call Harmeet
Dhillon at the Center for American Liberty.
