“We’re sterilizing a generation who will not be able to have their own kids. And we’re altering their sexual functioning in a way that’s going to make it more difficult for them to have loving relationships.”Stephanie Winn is a licensed marriage and family therapist who is currently treating detransitioners and parents with gender-questioning youth.She says that gender-affirming care is costly to one’s physical health and antithetical to the therapeutic process, reducing the role of the therapist from a curious explorer to someone who is not allowed to probe, question, or act with discernment.“We’re essentially agreeing with the lie that these vulnerable, young people who are in a moment of great distress, really truly have no other ways of coping than to make life-altering decisions with a lot of negative ramifications for their health. And that’s not true,” says Winn. “Puberty blockers are not FDA-approved for the treatment of a mental health condition. They’re being prescribed off label for very young children. And we know for a fact that puberty blockers damage, among other things, brain development, also bone development.”Winn and I discuss “Affirmation Generation,” a new documentary she is featured in, which critically explores the gender-affirming model, society’s suppression of detransitioners, the for-profit trans-industry and the many myths associated with being transgender.“So many of the vulnerable, young people who are presenting with gender dysphoria are autistic. Many of them have trauma histories. They’ve been bullied. They’ve been abandoned,” says Winn.
