This summer, I joined some others to talk with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the misleading information we received about medical treatments during our childhood. We were told that to live as members of the opposite sex, we had to undergo surgeries and take prescribed treatments that involved removing healthy body parts.
That wasn’t true. No one can actually change their gender.
The lack of compassion in providing so-called gender-affirming care is alarming.
Our parents were warned that if we did not go along with these medical interventions, we would be at a high risk of suicide.
But again, that turned out to be untrue. There’s no real evidence to support the idea that not affirming someone’s transgender identity directly leads to suicide, despite what some activists claim.
The FTC’s role is to tackle “unfair and deceptive practices” in commerce. What I’ve gone through with the medical field is exactly that—unfair and deceptive. After sharing my story, I urge others affected by this ideology to also speak out to the FTC.
DC watchdog calls for documentation on what they term a “modern Tuskegee experiment” regarding transgender prescriptions for the youth.
Let me start with my story.
The treatments I received were more like interventions disrupting my body’s natural functions. Now I contend with a range of medical issues that, frankly, shouldn’t be happening to women. At 17, I was prescribed testosterone, which is not usually meant for women and in such high doses. The hormonal changes have created lasting damage, and even after stopping the testosterone, I suffer from vaginal atrophy, sexual dysfunction, chronic pain, and a voice that’s no longer capable of singing.
Legal groups are suing the FDA over adolescent blockers, citing concerns about a potential cover-up during the Biden administration.
Moreover, the testosterone stunted my body’s proper development during adolescence. My lower back issues, which made pregnancy painful, could have been avoided. I ended up needing a C-section because my body was altered in ways that made it impossible to deliver naturally.

Furthermore, the medical professionals thought it was fine to perform a double mastectomy on me, which involved removing my healthy breasts and reshaping my nipples in a poorly executed manner. This not only robbed me of the choice to breastfeed but also caused severe physical pain as I dealt with trapped milk while recovering from surgery.
This occurred despite my doctors knowing about my mental health struggles, including borderline personality disorder, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The notion that these irreversible changes would somehow improve my life seems absurd—even as I write this down.
New state law gives doctors a “second chance” in legal matters.
The FTC’s role is to address “unfair and deceptive practices” in trade. My experience with the medical institution epitomizes such treatment.
There’s definitely a financial incentive for them to continue this approach. For the rest of my life, I’ll be stuck paying for the same facilities that harmed me just to manage the side effects they caused in the name of “care.” For these doctors and surgeons, it’s a win-win—they bill for hormones and surgeries and then bill again to manage the complications that arise.

This, in essence, is a business model for the gender industry—profit for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies while our bodies suffer. It’s a system I fell into, but no one else should have to endure this.
Fortunately, the FTC is advocating for us and for all those who might find themselves trapped in a similar healthcare situation as I did. When this kind of treatment is mislabeled as “care,” it’s misleading, and those responsible should not evade accountability.
