A detransitioning woman who had a mastectomy at age 14 has slammed therapists who told her that gender transition and surgery was the ‘only solution’ to her mental health issues – despite her also struggling with bipolar disorder, autism, and sexual assault trauma.
Cassie, 18, from Maryland, who has kept her last name hidden for privacy reasons, recently spoke out about her decision to get her breasts removed as ‘a minor’ during an appearance on the We’re All Insane podcast – and claimed that her doctor encouraged her to get the procedure done after only one visit.
She explained that she began suffering from ‘gender dysphoria’ after being sexually assaulted and ‘groomed’ at a young age – but rather than discussing what had happened to her, the therapist told her that going under the knife was ‘the only way to fix’ her problems.
Cassie said she regretted the decision almost immediately after the surgery – and has branded it as ‘medical malpractice’ that professionals didn’t take more time to go over the long-term effects and potential consequences beforehand.
