A Detransitioner’s Warning to LGBT Youth

Simon B. Amaya Price once identified as transgender and lived socially as a woman. Today, he has detransitioned—and he has serious questions about how he got there.In this conversation, Simon describes the role therapists and medical professionals played in affirming his gender identity as a young person, the resistance he encountered from his parents, and the extraordinary pressure his family says they faced—including being presented with the stark choice of a “dead son or an alive daughter.”I say the things about gay men no therapist will say — for gay men done being talked around. Sophisticated, honest talk on sex, relationships, and shame.
