New book has detransitioners decrying 'gender-affirming care' as they return to faith, family and foundations
Fox News
Lauren Green, chief religion correspondent, speaks to author Jennifer Lahl, whose book "The Detransition Diaries" tells of those who admit their error in believing they were born into the wrong body.
Some detransitioners say they find little support in either the medical community or in their own social sphere. "These women, even if they have reconstructive surgery, will never be able to breastfeed their children." A recent study found that gender dysphoria diminishes significantly between adolescence and early adulthood. For many families, the author said, the journey of helping their children return to their biological sex includes a return to faith and its foundations. Lauren Green currently serves as Fox News Channel's (FNC) chief religion correspondent based in the New York bureau. She joined FNC in 1996. Her new book is "Lighthouse Faith: God as a Living Reality in a World Immersed in Fog." She is host of Fox News Digital's "Spirited Debate."
Her battle takes the form of allowing the voiceless to speak about the true nature of their controversial decisions to have body-altering surgeries.
Lahl said, "These are young adults that have had some kind of trauma in their life, whether it's bullying, whether it's a broken home, whether it's sexually abusive experiences."
