Former trans patient denounces gender-affirming language as contrary to biology and faith

Drawing on personal experience of transitioning after a 1981 visit to a renowned gender-therapy specialist, the writer spent eight years living as a woman before concluding that the process amounted to self-harm. He now describes transgender terminology as a falsehood that obscures the biological reality of a binary sex system, aligning his view with Justice Clarence Thomas’s recent concurring opinion that sex is immutable.

The author points out that many gender clinics, including Planned Parenthood, provide cross-sex hormones without extensive evaluation, and argues that underlying factors such as childhood trauma, social influence, or mental illness often drive gender dysphoria. He asserts that using pronouns inconsistent with a person’s biological sex rejects divine design, and that Christians should speak truthfully even when unpopular.

While urging compassion for those who undergo drastic medical interventions, he rejects language that he believes masks the truth about human biology. The piece concludes that truthful language is essential to protect both women and men from the harms of the "trans" narrative.
