Soren's Story: How One Detransitioner Found Peace Outside of Medicalization

Описание: Soren Aldaco discovered transgenderism online, identifying as a boy at age 11 and beginning hormone replacement therapy at age 17. After undergoing a botched double mastectomy at age 19, Soren found herself alone in the emergency room with doctors reopening her wounds, thinking she was going to die. Soren’s traumatic medical complications opened her eyes to the ills of so-called “gender affirming care,” which she says enabled her to believe pills, injections, and procedures could provide her the sense of self she craved growing up. Now detransitioned and healing her complex emotions through mindfulness, Soren is a vocal advocate against the “enabling” she sees happening inside the medical industry and believes that detransitioners could be the leaders of the next #MeToo-style movement.
