“What I had been taught online and in high school was that this is actually a legitimate thought to have: Okay, maybe I should have been a gay man, maybe I'm trans.”

As a teenager, Laura Becker lived in an abusive household and suffered from depression, social anxiety, and substance addiction. She became convinced that transitioning would cure her of her trauma.

“It wasn't framed to me as queer theory. When I was in middle school, like 14, it was framed as social justice. ... And I latched on to that immediately,” says Ms. Becker.

By age 19, she had come out as a transgender gay man using they/them pronouns and was prescribed cross-sex hormones after a one-hour consultation with a gender clinician. One year later, she had both of her breasts removed. Today, at 26 years old, she regrets those decisions.

“How do I exist as a female when I've mutilated my body? ... Like, what do I do now, because that didn't work out? I didn't transcend my body. I didn't transcend the trauma,” says Ms. Becker. “I take responsibility for my delusions, but I don't take responsibility for the medical neglect and the medical malpractice that occurred.”

Laura Becker is now an advocate for detransitioners. She considers herself “pro-human” and encourages practicing “radical acceptance” of the “necessary imperfections” that we are all born with.

“If we accept the burden of being alive, we must accept that there are necessary imperfections,” says Ms. Becker.
