A brave young woman is speaking out about the lies that nearly destroyed her life. Claire Abernathy was just 12 years old when doctors convinced her she was really a boy. Two years later, they cut off her healthy breasts in the name of so-called gender-affirming care.
Claire’s story shows how dangerous this radical gender ideology has become for our children. At just 10 years old, she started calling herself transgender after experiencing early trauma and puberty. Instead of getting real help for her problems, adults pushed her toward life-changing medical treatments that would leave permanent damage.
The medical establishment told Claire’s mother a horrible lie. They said Claire would kill herself if she didn’t transition immediately. This is emotional blackmail that targets scared parents across America every single day.
By age 14, Claire had already been put on dangerous hormones and had major surgery to remove her breasts. The doctors promised this would save her life and make her happy. Instead, Claire became suicidal after her transition, not before like the doctors claimed.
Claire has been working to undo the damage for three years now. She calls herself a detransitioner and warns other families about the rushed path she was put on. There was only eight months between her first gender therapy session and losing her breasts forever.
Her mother Carrie was so afraid of losing custody that the family fled Texas. Even though Texas passed laws to protect kids from these harmful treatments, scared parents worry they could be investigated. This creates more fear and confusion for families already in crisis.
Claire now speaks with the wisdom that comes from surviving this nightmare. She knows there is no such thing as a trans child, only confused kids who need real help and support. Strong female role models could have saved her from this path, but instead adults pushed dangerous medical treatments.
Every American parent needs to hear Claire’s story. Our children are being targeted by an ideology that puts politics before their safety and wellbeing. We must protect our kids from these life-destroying lies before more families suffer like Claire and her mother have.
