Detransitioned woman who appeared on 60 Minutes speaks out after backlash from trans activists

2021-05-28

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] As I previously reported, 60 Minutes on CBS is being inundated with backlash for daring to highlight the stories of young detransitioned people. Advocacy groups such as GLAAD have hammered the segment as "shameful" while trans celebrities like Laverne Cox have described it as "dehumanizing."
Having your boobs cut off isn't "dehumanizing," but going on the teevee is. Got it.
It’s not often that the stories of detransitioners get told within mainstream media for this precise reason- it’s just too much of a risk in the public square. There is an expectation to shove these stories under the table and ignore them.
"Get your flat-chested self into this here closet."
Grace Lidinsky-Smith, the primary detransitoned person featured on the show, isn’t taking it lying down.
"Just relax and enjoy it. That way you won't get hurt."
I recently interviewed her for my YouTube channel and allowed her to go into further detail on the horrors of transition regret, free from the sanitization of television editing. She also responds to the backlash she and the show are receiving from trans influencers and social media.
"So whaddya think, Mr Rather?"
"Just insert 'not' in front of every verb and adjective."
"They never taught us about no verb nor adjectives in school, Mr Rather!"
"Damn all English majors! I'll do it myself."

Grace said, "The extreme reaction of outrage at detransitioners even being shown at all on national TV feels really unfair.... On the other hand, I also think that it is a little bit of an immature reaction, especially from some figureheads."
I agree. I think the auto da fe is going entirely too far.
On the topic of her transition regret, Grace explains to me that it was the worst mistake of her life. While she claims to have learned a hard lesson, she mourns the loss of her breasts due to her temporary but intense decisions.
Lotsa men like flat-chested women. Way fewer like girls with doinkers.
Grace is part of a group called the Gender Care Consumer Advocacy Network (GCCAN). A quote from their website states: "Our mission is to empower recipients of gender transition-related care to become healthy and whole."
