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.
