Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult · Clay & Buck Recommendations

• 0:00
  So these are the real reported stories of detransitioners, which are people and in
• 0:05
  this book, young people who tried to do what we would say is unthinkable
• 0:08
  to change their gender. So for many of these people, and let's just
• 0:12
  say the girls, they're teenagers, they're going on social media and they're seeing
• 0:17
  all these representations of masculinity and femininity that are really confusing them, because we
• 0:22
  know our culture is struggling so much with that nowadays. Anyways, it's toxic
• 0:25
  masculinity or toxic feminity. There's no happy, normal, healthy in between.
• 0:30
  And so a lot of these girls told me that they're on social media,
• 0:33
  they're seeing all these beautiful women online and thinking, I don't look anything like
• 0:37
  that, you know, the perfectly sculpted, sexy women who get all kinds
• 0:41
  of male affirmation. And these are twelve and thirteen year old girls who think
• 0:44
  I don't look anything like that. And then some of these girls told me
• 0:46
  they were then you know, they're being exposed to pornography online and they're thinking,
• 0:50
  Okay, this is really humiliated, integrading for a lot of women.
• 0:54
  I'm scared of that. And then they're being told by gender activists, oh,
• 0:58
  you feel like you. You don't like these things, you don't like
• 1:00
  how womanhood has betrayed us because you're not a girl. It's because you're a
• 1:03
  guy. And that's a weird fact pattern that I found with a lot of
• 1:06
  these girls, and I was surprised by because I think a lot of the
• 1:08
  time we hear, you know, oh, they were exposed to a lot
• 1:11
  of gender content online. That's not the whole picture. It's a whole confusing
• 1:15
  cocktail of social media that a lot of these girls are being subjected to.
• 1:19
  And so you know, from that point on, what happens is these girls
• 1:23
  say, Okay, I think I'm a guy. They start talking to therapists,
• 1:27
  you know, their parents might take them to a therapist, and the
• 1:30
  therapists will tell these girls and their parents, oh, yeah, you are
• 1:34
  a boy, first of all, and to the parents, if you don't
• 1:36
  affirm your transgender identity, she's going to hurt herself or kill herself. And
• 1:41
  the exact line that they give them is would you rather have a dead daughter
• 1:45
  or a living son? And actually I've said that so many times now,
• 1:48
  but every time I say it, it gives me chill because it's a threat
• 1:52
  to the parents saying if you do not comply with our ideology, your kid
• 1:57
  will kill themselves and it will be your fault. And so these parents love
• 2:00
  their kids. They want to do it's best for them. They don't really
• 2:04
  know better, you know, maybe they're not super politically in tune. They're
• 2:07
  not equipped with the resources. So they think, Okay, well the therapists
• 2:10
  and doctors are telling me this is best for my kid, I'm going to
• 2:14
  do it. And unfortunately a lot of these parents should have gone with their
• 2:16
  gut because in a lot of these cases, the parents' initial reaction was right,
• 2:22
  their kids should not have done this. And unfortunately, what they'll do
• 2:27
  is they'll get the kids started on let's say, puberty blockers if they're really
• 2:30
  young. That just stops your puberty. It's very it makes a lot of
• 2:34
  sense, you know, it's puberty blocker. But what we don't realize is
• 2:38
  we don't actually know the full effects of what these puberty blockers are doing to
• 2:40
  these kids. And I'm not just saying that. The so called experts,
• 2:45
  like the WPATS doctors who just got exposed for knowing that these things were experimental
• 2:51
  and hiding it. It came out recently that they knew that puberty blockers into
• 2:55
  stosterone were causing tumors and girls. They knew that puberity blockers and testosterone were
• 3:00
  making girls infertile, and they just kind of didn't say anything because it doesn't
• 3:04
  fit the narrative. And so all of these things are experimental, but they're
• 3:07
  putting kids on them, and then after the puberty blockers, they'll put them
• 3:10
  on testosterone if their girl, or ESTROGENEF or a guy. And oh my
• 3:15
  gosh, I could talk all day about the effects of these things. You
• 3:19
  know, we think about surgeries because they're really gruesome and horrible, But the
• 3:22
  hormones, they change your muscles, they change your bone structure, they change
• 3:25
  where your fat distributes on your body. You lose hair, you gain hair.
• 3:30
  You know, the emotional effects were freaky to me. Some of these
• 3:32
  girls told me. First of all, they lost the ability to cry,
• 3:36
  so they would feel this intense emotional urge to cry, and then just nothing
• 3:39
  would happen, so they couldn't even find the relief that comes with crying.
• 3:44
  And for some of them, they lost the ability to scream, which as
• 3:46
  a woman, I don't know if men experience this. As a woman,
• 3:49
  I feel like a very common dream is you're running away from someone, You're
• 3:52
  trying to scream and you can't. Well, that's their reality, now,
• 3:54
  that's their life. So many other physical and emotional side effects. And then
• 4:00
  once they've been on the testosterone for a while, which also causes rage attacks
• 4:04
  really scary for the girls, where they just you know, they feel this
• 4:08
  really intense rage that they have to externalize. One girl told me she was
• 4:12
  covered in bruises because she was just like punch stings all the time trying to
• 4:15
  externalize this rage. So after they've been on that for a while, the
• 4:17
  doctors will tell them, oh, you don't feel better, it's because you
• 4:19
  need to get your next step the surgery, and that is the double misectomy.
• 4:25
  And a lot of girls will do this. A bunch of the girls
• 4:28
  in my book did this. They removed their breasts forever. And what's so
• 4:32
  sad about this and crazy about this is they're so naive in some of these
• 4:36
  cases that some of these girls think their breast will grow back, Like they're
• 4:40
  so lacking and informed consent that they don't have any understanding of basic human biology
• 4:45
  and think, oh, maybe they'll grow back eventually,
