Children can begin to understand differences in gender at a young age. Some figure out their gender identity early on, which may not align with their assigned sex at birth. The assumption that a child is definitively male or female based solely on their genitals is incorrect.

A lot of parents have questions about social transition at a young age. There are no exact guidelines. Again, everybody has their own gender journey and everything feels right or wrong depending on the family. However, many kids do decide to pursue a social transition. Usually that will start with changing their name or their pronouns. They might want to just try dressing a different way or using a different name at home to get used to it and for the family to get used to it. Some people might want to do it on a vacation where they don't really know anyone as a way to try it out. And then slowly over time they might move into using that more with loved ones at school or with friends. However, kids do benefit from social transition over time.

The reaction to having two trans kids is often one of shock. Before transitioning, I felt incomplete and was nervous about telling my parents. Being trans means feeling different from the gender assigned at birth. Recently, I started hormone blockers to prevent menstruation and breast development, which can be mentally challenging. People often question if I'm too young to know I'm trans, but I wonder if they are too young to know they're cis. Olivia identified as transgender from age 4 and socially transitioned at 5. Some think younger kids mimic older siblings, which made us hesitant about her transition, but this is who she is. Initially, I felt defensive about Olivia transitioning, thinking it was my experience, but I now see her as a girl, and she always will be.

Clementine began puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13, and had a double mastectomy at 14. At 20, she is detransitioned and seeking reconstructive surgery, which her insurance denied. She may pursue legal action with the help of Campbell, Miller, Payne. Clementine says childhood sexual abuse was ignored, but counselors encouraged her to transition due to negative feelings about her body. She rejected womanhood, associating it with pain from the abuse. Therapy addressing the abuse helped her realize she didn't want to transition, and the loss of fertility and changes to her body began to sink in. Before starting puberty blockers, no one asked about the abuse. At her first appointment with Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy at Los Angeles Children's Hospital, she was prescribed puberty blockers 30 minutes in, after being out for 4 months. Dr. Olson-Kennedy told Clementine's parents that she was deeply suicidal and that she would be at high risk for suicide if they didn't let her transition.

The speaker's four-year-old child declared, "Mom, you know I'm really a girl. I'm a girl on the inside." This prompted appointments with a psychologist and endocrinologist to rule out medical issues. The child increasingly expressed herself as a girl, wanting to wear dresses and sparkly shoes. Restricting this expression led to depression, and the speaker allowed her to attend school in girl's clothes, which improved her happiness. While the children and teachers were initially accepting, some parents reacted negatively, influenced by "adult bigotry." The family lost friends and family and went into hiding for a year while the daughter grew her hair out. They re-emerged with a happy and confident daughter.

A child will often know that they are transgender from the moment that they have any ability to express themselves, and parents will often tell us this. We have parents who tell us that their kids, they knew from the minute they were born practically, and actions like refusing to get a haircut or standing to urinate, trying on siblings' clothing, playing with the quote opposite gender toys, things like that. There is more and more a group of adolescents that we are seeing that really are coming to the realization that they might be trans or gender diverse a little bit later on in their life. So what we're seeing from them is that they always sort of knew something was maybe off and didn't have the understanding to know that they might be trans or have a different gender identity than the one they had been assigned. So that is a growing population that we are seeing and that's being recognized as being trans and able to be treated.

"The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time."

Exclusive with Montana Parents Who Had Daughter Taken, & New Fani Willis Drama, w/ Gonzales & Hammer

Guests: Gonzales, Hammer

Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing a troubling case from Montana where Todd and Christa Kad lost custody of their 14-year-old daughter, referred to as Jennifer, due to their refusal to affirm her gender identity. The Kads claim this constitutes medical kidnapping, as they believe their daughter is being transitioned against their wishes. They express concerns about the mental health issues Jennifer faced, including bullying and trauma, prior to her identifying as male. The Kads recount how Jennifer began identifying as Leo around the age of 12, influenced by peers and counselors. They sought counseling for her, believing it was essential to explore her feelings rather than affirm them outright. However, tensions escalated when Jennifer expressed anger over being asked to quit her summer job, leading to a crisis where she allegedly threatened self-harm. This prompted Child Protective Services (CPS) to intervene. CPS arrived at their home, leading to Jennifer's hospitalization and subsequent transfer to a mental health facility. The Kads were alarmed when they learned that Jennifer was being socially transitioned in the facility, including being referred to as Leo and receiving male products. They were concerned about the implications of this transition, particularly regarding the potential for medical procedures that could lead to infertility. The Kads were informed that Jennifer would be placed in a group home in Montana, where she would continue to be socially transitioned. They expressed frustration over their lack of control and the perceived undermining of their parental authority. The couple fears that their family unit has been destroyed and that Jennifer is being prepared for a future that they do not support. They highlight the broader implications of their case, warning other parents about the rapidity with which CPS can intervene and the potential consequences of not affirming a child's gender identity. The Kads are appealing the court's decision and are actively seeking legal counsel to fight for their parental rights. They emphasize their love for Jennifer and their desire to protect her future, urging other parents to be vigilant about their rights in similar situations.

Irreversible Damage at Fourteen | Detransitioner Clementine Breen | EP 531

Guests: Detransitioner Clementine Breen

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Clementine Breen, a 22-year-old college student and detransitioner, shares her experience with gender transition and the subsequent challenges she faced. At 12, she received puberty blockers, began testosterone at 13, and underwent a double mastectomy at 14, all while feeling disconnected from her female peers and struggling with anxiety stemming from childhood sexual abuse. She did not disclose the abuse to her medical providers, who conducted minimal investigation into her history, leading to a swift diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Clementine highlights the role of Dr. Joanna Olsen Kennedy, a prominent figure in transgender youth healthcare, and Dr. Scott Mosser, her surgeon, in her treatment. She notes that Olsen Kennedy's research on gender-affirming care did not show improvements in mental health, yet the findings were not published to avoid political backlash. Clementine's experience reflects a broader concern about the lack of thorough psychological evaluation and the rush to affirm gender identities without addressing underlying issues like anxiety and depression. Throughout her transition, Clementine felt pressured by her guidance counselor and medical professionals to conform to a male identity, which initially provided her with social acceptance. However, as she continued her transition, she experienced severe mental health issues, including psychosis, which she attributes to both the testosterone and unresolved trauma from her past. After seeking therapy focused on her trauma, Clementine began to understand her identity differently and ultimately decided to detransition. She is now pursuing a lawsuit against the medical professionals involved in her care, aiming to raise awareness about the potential harms of gender-affirming treatments for youth. Clementine emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health issues before making irreversible medical decisions and encourages others to recognize that feelings of discomfort during puberty are common and do not necessarily indicate a need for medical intervention.
