Prager University Releases Child Sex Change Documentary on X

X’s new role as the ‘free speech platform’ has allowed people who have gone through sex change surgeries as children to speak about their experience.

They have gravelly voices like boys midway through puberty, but they are girls.

Detransitioners, men and women who have gone through sex change surgery and cross-sex hormone use, feature in Prager University’s newly released “DeTrans: The Dangers of Gender-Affirming Care.”

A year ago, sharing on X, formerly known as Twitter, that doctors give cross-sex hormones to children wouldn’t have been possible, Prager personality CJ Pearson wrote on his own X account.

“It would’ve gotten us banned,” Mr. Pearson said. He thanked Elon Musk for allowing the DeTrans documentary on his platform.

But now, the conservative media organization can show the world the permanent, irreversible consequences of cross-sex hormones for children who no longer use them.

“We are proud of this project due to the incredibly important subject matter,” Prager Chief Marketing Officer Craig Strazzeri told The Epoch Times by email. “Young Americans are being manipulated by social media and medical professionals to undergo life-altering surgeries that often come with major regret, and their stories deserve to be told.”

He also thanked Mr. Musk for the chance to air the documentary on Twitter.

So far, Prager’s video has received over 9 million X views. But when Prager tried to put the video on YouTube or display it at film festivals, Google and several film festivals refused to air the documentary, Prager said in a different post.

The stories in the documentary include horrifying examples of surgeons cutting away healthy body parts and replacing normal hormones with artificial doses that recipients can’t produce on their own.

The Effects of Sex Change Treatment

Daisy Strongin has the voice and features of a girl. But her voice sounds deep and masculine.

The Prager video includes clips of Ms. Strongin speaking at different stages of hormone use. Her voice gradually changes from female to something almost male.

“I really am sad that I took my voice for granted,” she said. “I didn’t just take it for granted. I hated it. And now, like I would go—I would do anything to have that voice again.”

Ms. Strongin said she changed her voice and cut off her breasts because she felt like she didn’t fit in.

“I had an alter ego,” she said. “And he was like this boy that I, like, customized in my mind, of like, the ideal boy.”

As a child, she felt depressed, hopeless, and different from other girls, she said. Becoming that “ideal boy” seemed better than being herself, so she started calling herself “Oliver” and identifying as male, she said.

Extensive time online in pro-child sex change communities made these feelings appear to be the reality to her, she said.

“The more time I spent online, the more it felt like real life,” she said.

The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT activist group, posted on X that “trans people” have always and will always exist.

“Promoting PragerU’s misinformation endangers our communities,” the group said in its post. The group also expressed anger at X, Elon Musk, and X CEO Linda Yaccarino for “putting profits over people.”

Abel Garcia, another participant in the documentary, is a man. But the surgery he got to give himself fake breasts at 23 years old permanently damaged his chest.

A doctor spoke with him only once before approving him for both breast creation surgery and genital removal surgery.

“I was a little surprised that they received my letter for bottom surgery, which was the removal of my genitals, without even asking,” he said.

Irreversible Treatments

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Mr. Garcia said he didn’t get his genitals removed.

But the other changes he underwent are long-lasting. He is “Terminally feminized,” he said.

“My body is jiggly and curvy and hourglass shape and is permanent no matter how much I put myself on testosterone,” he said. “I am shaped the way I am forever,” he said.

Female hormones also impacted his mind, Mr. Garcia said. His sexual desires changed toward penetration and cuddling. His feelings of empathy and desire to nurture grew stronger. He started disliking confrontation and wanting a man to make decisions for him, he said.

“I’m surprised estrogen is not a controlled substance,” he said.

Bone density issues, back pain, and other issues also impact Mr. Garcia after his surgeries and hormones, he said.

Individuals who go through sex change surgery young will face social challenges as well, Mr. Garcia said.

“Their dating pool will be a bunch of fetishists that will fetishize them for their experience,” he said.

All the people in the video said they mourn the bodies they sacrificed in pursuit of resembling the opposite sex.

For both men and women, cross-sex hormones have irreversible effects. For women, testosterone can cause a deeper voice, body hair growth, enlarged lower sexual anatomy, broader shoulders, and a more masculine jawline.

Male testosterone levels in women also can cause high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, blood clots, infertility, joint pain, and more issues.

Men on estrogen grow breasts, lose body and facial hair, gain body fat, experience shrinking testicles, and lose sexual function.

Female estrogen levels in men can cause blood clots, infertility, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, and weight gain.

So far, doctors have discovered no way back from these changes. At some points, this fact seemed to weigh heavily on the detransitioners in the video.

“My story is tragic in some ways, but it’s very redemptive in many ways,” said Ms. Strongin. “That cannot be said for many detransitioners.”

Vulnerable Children

Despite the enormity of their choice, the detransitioners Prager put in the documentary say they chose sex change procedures for reasons that seem feeble in retrospect.

Detransitioners in the documentary said they had perceived inadequacies, “feelings” of being not male enough or not female enough, and histories of trauma. Doctors gave them amputations, reengineering by hormones, and more, they said in the documentary.

“I was a 15-year-old girl when the trans community found me already diagnosed with Multiple mental illnesses, including anorexia of body dysmorphic disorder, borderline personality disorder, and trauma disorder,” said detransitioner Prisha Mosely.“ I was easy to manipulate and convinced that I had been born in the wrong body. I was told that this was the reason for all of my mental and emotional distress.”

The documentary argued that transgender activists and medical professionals tell vulnerable children that surgery and hormones will cure their mental anguish. Children believe them, let doctors cut and inject, then realize they still feel miserable, the documentary said.

Citing recent statistics, the documentary said breast amputation surgery on teenage girls has risen 1,300 percent from 2013 to 2020.

“At the end of the day, when I’m home in my room, looking in the mirror, I am like,‘ What did I do?’” Ms. Strongin said. “I start hitting these, like, really scary thoughts of like, ‘You’re incomplete. You’re not a guy.’”
