Tucker interviews Helena Kerschner, a 23-year old currently in the process of de-transitioning, her experiences before and after, and her thoughts on it now.
Highlights include:
“There’s a lot of messages that said, if you feel bad about your body, that means you’re trans. I was just going through this period of like ‘I don’t like how I’m treated as a cis-person ‘cuz cis means you’re uncool and you’re privileged and you’re an oppressor and you’re bad and I don’t wanna’ be that.”
“There was a lot of hopelessness for a long time, a lot of regret. The feeling of regret was intense.”
“It’s completely normal for not only young girls but often young boys, too, to feel uncomfortable with themselves, uncomfortable with their body. But we have this ideology that is especially prevalent online that says if you have those feelings, that means you’re trans.”
“There are literally people who say if you don’t even like your voice on a recording, that’s a sign of gender dysphoria and you need to go see a medical professional because you’re trans.”
“It’s just devastating to, especially from a young age, be lied to by adults at school and by medical professionals and told that your body is wrong, you need to change it, you need to get hormones, you need to get surgeries. That’s devastating for a young person. So, I’m just really concerned for younger girls and boys like I once was, being led down this path and being hurt by it.”
“The White House actually just put out a chart yesterday that says that some of these steps are reversible or partially reversible but that’s such an oversimplification of the truth. When you go on a cross-sex hormone, that’s gonna’ give you not just physical changes but psychological experiences that you can’t just act like they never happened. You can’t just take it back, especially with surgeries.”
“There’s a lot of people out there, especially parents who are really thankful for what I’m saying, because they see that they’re young girl or young boy is going through this, and the school is telling them ‘you need to affirm them.'”
“And all their doctors telling them ‘you need to transition them’ and these parents, they know that they’re child should not be having these cosmetic procedures.”
“But, obviously, you have the trans-activists and the trans-community that exhibit some very unhealthy kind-of cult-like dynamics who are really upset about this.”
