Elizabeth Chesak, coordinator of the WDI USA Desisted & Detransitioned Women’s Caucus, interviews detransitioner Claire Abernathy.
Claire began “identifying as a boy” at 11 years old after experiencing a traumatic sexual assault. By her 15th birthday, she was nearly a year on cross-sex hormones and had undergone a double mastectomy to remove her healthy, developing breasts. After detransitioning, Claire initially advocated against bans on child medicalization, believing she was protecting others. However, as she learned more about the long-term consequences and risks, she became a passionate advocate for safeguarding children from irreversible decisions.
