“And even Reuters admits something that many top media outlets and networks have urgently denied: that children are taking drastic medical steps to change their bodies. “A small but increasing number of U.S. children diagnosed with gender dysphoria are choosing medical interventions to express their identity and help alleviate their distress.”

“So that person detransitions: They try to reverse the process. They stop taking hormones, they reverse the surgeries (to the extent that that is possible), and they attempt to deal with the mental and physical consequences of such brutal interventions in the physiology and anatomy of the human body. Not everyone makes it to that point. But this book shares stories of those who have, and who are brave enough to speak out about their experiences.”

“Buttons spoke with forty-eight detransitioners and found that forty-two of them (thirty-two females and ten males) had either confirmed or suspected autism, meaning that they identified with autistic traits. The last six were confident that they were not autistic, she says, but believed that their “perceived gender dysphoria was due to a variety of other reasons, including other psychiatric disorders.” And only five of these forty-two detransitioners who had confirmed or suspected autism had been diagnosed with ASD before or during their transition, according to Buttons. “All 5 told me that if they had fully understood what being autistic entailed and how it could manifest in their lives, they probably would not have believed they had gender dysphoria. They also said that ‘gender identity’ and transgender issues became their ‘special interest’ for a period of time,” she reports.17 (As we will see, Chloe now sees her fixation with transitioning as a “hyperfixation” typical of ASD.)”
