The average age to detransition is 23, approximately five years after undergoing transition, a clinical survey of 237 participants showed. Seventy percent realized that their gender dysphoria was related to other issues, such as existing depression. “When I was younger, I had a lot of mental issues, depression, anxiety, about life,” Sharpe told the Washington Examiner. “When I was 12, I found on the internet that young girls could be trans and it would solve why I hated myself so much, why my life was so horrible, why my life was so wrong.” Sharpe, who lives in Canada, was a withdrawn child who was bullied at school and spent an inordinate amount of time online. Her home life wasn’t great, so when she told her mother she was a boy, the answer was to see a psychiatrist and obtain antidepressants. No one inquired why she thought she was a different sex. This evolved into puberty blockers and testosterone injections at 15. She started having infections and pain with the testosterone that lasted years. At 17, a doctor pressured her into getting a full mastectomy followed by a hysterectomy at 19. In Canada, teenagers can undergo surgery at 16 without parental consent. Regardless, Sharpe said her mother approved of the surgeries. “It was sold as this thing that’s no big deal. If you don’t like a body part, just get rid of it,” Sharpe said. “Now, I have chronic pain all over my chest. I’m stuck on painkillers. The doctor sold it like it was worth the risk because, 'You need it.' Does anyone really need that kind of surgery, especially a young girl at 17?” The story of Athena, 22, is similar. As someone who didn’t have a lot of friends growing up and was being treated for depression, Athena found a sense of belonging when she befriended a group of transgender adults. She lives in Seattle where society and especially medical professionals see this lifestyle as a cure-all, she said. Athena was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at 16 and, five months later, underwent a double mastectomy. Initially, her parents balked at the surgery but were talked into it by a psychologist and primary care physician who “told them that I was going to kill myself if I didn’t get it,” she said. “I was told by the psychologist that kids with gender dysphoria will become suicidal if they don’t get the treatment. I was also told if I said I would kill myself, I would get what I wanted. It worked.” Athena said she believes she was pressured by the doctors who told her she was in “dire need of medical intervention.” After the surgery, Athena said she looked at her chest and knew she had made the biggest mistake of her life. However, she forged ahead with hormone therapy because “I had come this far.” Her physical transition included a deeper voice and hair growth all over her body. Then, when she turned 19, Athena decided to revert back to her old self. But it wouldn’t be easy. Four years after stopping the testosterone, her body hair continues to grow. She will need 30 electrolysis treatments on her face to get rid of the beard and mustache permanently. She is now in a long-term relationship with a man, but, after having three miscarriages, Athena believes having children is out of the question. Her ovaries are at risk of growing cysts. “I don’t understand how people don’t realize how abusive this is,” she said. For Sharpe, talking to detransitioners on Reddit is therapeutic. She wants to help others avoid the trauma she endured. “Young girls need to know that what they think they hate about themselves is so superficial,” she said. “Society gives the message that you just need to be a boy so you don’t need to deal with the pressures of being a girl.” It’s only been a year since she “snapped out of this” and is now spending time learning to live with herself. She is debating whether to file a lawsuit against the doctors who did not fully explain the dangers of her medical procedures. She recently wrote on Reddit: “I'm gonna tell u from experience the coddling of transgender ppl and their delusions … You are going against fundamentals of nature, immutable stuff, and damaging yourself!!! no such thing as sex change, only sterilization. people won't want to date you. your health declines. your body suffers. your social life suffers.” Read more at: WashingtonExaminer.comwhen i was 15, lonely, and hated my body, i got sucked into gender ideology online.
my school encouraged me and i was easily prescribed a high dose of testosterone at 18, and it was very damaging. this is not rare.#DetransAwarenessDay me at 19, trans // me now at 23 pic.twitter.com/oNPF5J3Q7m — helena (@lacroicsz) March 12, 2022
