‘Ruined’: Reddit users regret how easily they got hormones from Planned Parenthood

As Planned Parenthood has expanded its so-called “gender-affirming care” over the past decade, detransitioners who obtained hormones from the corporation have publicly repudiated Planned Parenthood’s dangerous transgender practices.

Planned Parenthood disproportionately targets young people aged 18-22 with its so-called “gender affirming care.” As can be observed by reading stories of detransitioners, most describe having been vulnerable and even struggling with mental illness when they sought “treatment” for gender dysphoria from Planned Parenthood. The cross-sex hormones left some of them with permanent issues.

Though the number of people negatively affected by Planned Parenthood’s “gender affirming care” will never be known, some detransitioners who are not public figures like Cat Cattinson, Elle Palmer, and Helena Kerschner have shared parts of their stories on online platforms. The following Reddit posts, viewed and collected by Live Action in April 2025, detail the regret of alleged anonymous detransitioners who claim to have visited Planned Parenthood for cross-sex hormones — specifically, testosterone.

A Reddit user asked if others had obtained hormones through Planned Parenthood and felt “they were not truly warned about the negative effects of transitioning”:

Here are the responses:

“A horrible experience”

Had one appointment where we discussed a bit of my background (disclosed that I was depressed, had a couple suicide attempts, childhood sexual abuse, saw therapists on & off throughout my life), which was completely glossed over & no further questioning about my state of mind at present time.

I was still a perfect candidate for HRT apparently. Gave me an info packet then sent to get bloodwork. A week later I went back, was shown how to do the shot & that was it.

Was highly encouraged by clinic to hurry up & start getting ready for top surgery, which I’m thankful I didn’t go through with now. But ironically when I brought up detransitioning, they didn’t respond to my messages or calls so I had to stop T cold turkey. Overall a horrible experience.

Eligible despite “lack of mental stability”

I was prescribed T from a Planned Parenthood for all six months of my time on hormones… I didn’t have any bloodwork yet completed at the time of my prescription. They also never demonstrated a shot or any related care…

I did my own first shot at home, same as every one after. Apparently I was doing my shots wrong for the first 2-3 months to the point that for two weeks after a specific dosage I had a huge (like a baby’s fist sized) stone-hard lump under the skin of my leg because I’d pulled out the needle too quickly or something, which was not something mentioned at the clinic or anywhere else and hurt like hell…

Anyways the biggest beef for me was their painfully lacking ‘psych eval’ type few questions less than an hour before slapping the prescription into my hands. Questions that I definitely answered the ‘wrong’ aka of greater concern answers to like: do you have a history of mental illness? Suicidal thoughts/actions? Family abuse? Drug or alcohol abuse?

(These questions are not verbatim obviously but my answers were all major yes’s) so I just don’t understand how my demonstration of a complete lack of mental stability kept me an eligible candidate.

Oh and last but not least, I had disclosed to my doctor/PA/nurse/?? that I’d had unprotected sex less than two weeks prior to this appointment where I was at the time still not sure if I was pregnant or not. There was no required pregnancy test or required form of clarification first.

“Physical and mental health has been ruined”

Signed my rights away and got [testosterone] the very first appointment, no bloodwork. I was [told] to reuse my needles too! It sucks because it’s just another massive human rights violation along with the lobotomy and hysterectomy epidemics, and I doubt it will ever get addressed. We will be erased…. [Our] physical and mental health has been ruined.

Planned Parenthood is committing abortions and selling hormones on a large scale across the United States. As previously noted by Live Action News, the corporation’s “latest annual report from 2022-23 reveals record-breaking abortions — 392,715 in a single year, while it received nearly $700 million taxpayer dollars.”

Planned Parenthood looks to recruit life-long customers who remain dependent on Planned Parenthood’s “services,” by promoting dangerous sex education, selling abortions, and selling so-called “gender-affirming care.” In preying on society’s most vulnerable, it harms society as a whole – using taxpayer dollars. It is time to defund Planned Parenthood.

Part of me feels bad for some of these people that were brainwashed and duped into all of this. Part of me also has little sympathy because there were people trying to warn of the potential dangers and them not to do it.

[FamiliarFace]

They should first offer same sex hormones, and see I that helps them out of their “dyphoria”. Medical malpractice.

[Persevero]

They were kids

Reddit: Munchausen syndrome. Sometimes Munchausen by proxy syndrome. It’s Reddit. Let them stew in the world of their own creation.

[popdonnelly]

Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill with good lobbyists.

“they were not truly warned about the negative effects of transitioning”

Mentally ill and stupid.

Why am I NOT SURPRISED that the Godless at Planned Parenthood are supporting another Godless, Reprobate Agenda like this?

Friday, June 26, 2015 was a DARK and EVIL day when
this Godless Abomination was celebrated by the
Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama

THIS is the kind of Satanic Abomination done
before Almighty God that can destroy a nation

They simply WILL NOT be happy until the Entire World
is turned into a Zombie Version of Sodom and Gomorrah.

THEY WILL NOT REPENT. THEY WILL NOT STOP.
THEY DESPISE WHAT THE LORD GOD HATH SAID

There is not anything that is not made worse,
or more weird and bizarre or more confusing
than by the homosexual / transgender agendas

Satan's LGBTQ+ false prophet DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama
has done the work of his true father, that Old Serpent (John 8:44) by
sowing confusion, Godless error, and outright lies

How many attend churches yet ARE STILL deceived by this man?

Godless Reprobate Democrats will ALWAYS protect the
homosexual agenda - it was a prized feature of their
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama in 2015

THE AMERICANS DEMOCRATS ARE DETERMINED TO DO SATAN'S WILL

They ARE working for Satan - whether they understand it or not

This is EXACTLY the kind of anti-God confusion that the Enemy likes to sow - since the days of Genesis chapter 19]

[transgender controversy]

The Democrats MUST have a direct line to
that Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan

Satan used false prophet Barack Hussein Obama to sow even more confusion upon the world
- and Obama turned the White House into an homosexual abomination before Almighty God.

Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
is an EXCELLENT false prophet for that Old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan.

And the world just continues to fulfill Bible Prophecy - as expected

All according to Satan's plan.

June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



The Days of Lot are upon the world - just as prophesied

And Sudden Destruction is prophesied for the Days of Lot

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...

My neighbor “they” is a person with a vagina, beard, and gay and Palestinian flags hanging on their backyard shed from which they run an “Intimacy Coaching” business.

You can’t make this stuff up.
