The Detransition Diaries examines one of the most controversial and controversial medical movements of the twenty-first century, known as” transitioning,” which promotes the widespread, perverse spread of genitalia mutilation and hormone experimentation in America. Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell, the authors of the novel and bioethics movement, examine the specific accounts of seven individuals who were pressured into and fought their way up. ( The book also has a video of the same name as it does. )
Lahl and Fell describe the movement’s cult-like philosophy and highly regarded “gender” anticipation, the healthy bodies induced into a diseased condition with unnecessary surgeries and sex hormone replacement therapy, the “abysmal” value of studies confirming the health and safety of” change care,” and the amount of money to be made. They point out the link between mental health and comorbidities associated with” transition,” as well as the regular, aggressive affirmation from doctors and professionals, particularly those who practice what are mistakenly called “gender care.”
Just a few of the victims of trans interventions are only five women and two men who have experienced firsthand the dishonesty, coercion, and violent retaliation against detractors in the motion.
Helena’s personal- destroying, eating disorder, and melancholy as a young teenager led her to internet groups encouraging migrating as the” answer” to nearly all mental health problems. Her school guidance counselor and counselor encouraged a transgender change rather than addressing mental health issues, and her cortisol prescription ( dispensed with little instruction at a Planned Parenthood ) induced illness and numerous illnesses.
At the age of 23, Grace’s “preoccupation and pain” with her system, combined with social justice activism and website assistance, led her to undergo elective double mastectomy and testosterone injections, which she eventually regretted and accepted as a further manifestation of self-harm.
Nick’s serious struggles with his gender as a young child, including sex addiction, broken community relationships, and a mental health professional who encouraged him to change from dealing with his anxiety, led to cross-sex hormones as a young adult.
As a young child, Cat was biologically advanced and actually bullied. Her encounters of gender dysphoria, disordered feeding, and alcohol and drug addiction were fueled by sites encouraging change, and her progress illness contributed to unpleasant differences with her peers. Following numerous attempts at suicide and testosterone injections, she lost her singing voice, but she primarily received” transition care.”
Chloe, who was diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism, was drawn into transgenderism on social media and the internet at a young age. Soon after turning 13, she was forced to use testosterone and puberty blockers and received a breast-bend that left her ribs permanently deformed. She underwent a double mastectomy at age 15 with no requirement for a psychological evaluation, and since detransitioning at 16, she has been harassed, bullied, and threatened.
Torren’s obsessive and compulsive struggles over his sex in his twenties led to his eventual false identification as a woman while on estrogen, a step that brought about “more shame, frustration, and alienation than ever”.
And before a so-called gender therapist signed off on her” sound” mental health and encouraged her to engage in the wrong sex hormones, Rachel was diagnosed with an eating disorder and schizophrenia as a young adult, compounded by a childhood steeped in sexual abuse.  ,
In the U.S.,” Trans mania” has an unprecedented level of cultural following, growing to include the presidency and increasingly targeting minors. The result is both acute and chronic, impermanent and long- term harm to numerous American men, women, and children.
The authors claim that this fits a pattern of gruesome ideologically driven medical exports that the United States has made over the past century. American medicine has repeatedly created niche markets that do n’t adhere to the ethical standard first, such as the 40-year Tuskegee experiment, which was first developed by a Portuguese neurologist and first legalized in the U.S. in 1922, and where forced sterilizations first started to violate the ethical standard.
The Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Code synthesized the constraints that scientists and health care professionals must adhere to in order to maintain high ethical standards. The authors write that “human experimentation must not cause any harm or result in unnecessarily suffering physical or mental or fatal injuries.” ” There must be informed consent and a direct benefit to the person that outweighs any risk of harm or injury.”
The violations of these principles are marked and evident in the failed surgeries, infections, experimental nature, and subsequent suffering and detransitioning of patients out of the transgender” transition” market. They are particularly and painfully evident in the personal accounts of Helena, Grace, Nick, Cat, Chloe, Torren, and Rachel.
The transgender movement” came from disturbed individuals with dangerous ideas, radical activists who wanted to create a society that would accept their pathology, but also celebrate it,” said Dr. Miriam Grossman, a psychiatrist. These men ( John Money and Kinsey, early proponents ) were pedophiles”, Lahl and Fell write.
However, Lahl and Fell write that the narrative is beginning to show signs of cracks, and it is up to each individual to take on the responsibility of speaking out.
” Raising awareness was the first step to common recognition of Nazi medicine’s human rights violations, the abusive Tuskegee experiment in Alabama, the harm done by lobotomy, and the brutality of mass involuntary sterilizations — all atrocities committed at the hands of physicians, who are charged with healing, not harming, their patients”, they conclude.  ,
