A young woman who trusted the medical establishment with her future now bears the scars of its ideological zealotry. Claire Abernathy, subjected to a double mastectomy as a teenager, has written an unflinching open letter to the surgeon who performed it, declaring that he stole her girlhood and left her to live with the consequences.
Her damning indictment of a medical industry that rushed vulnerable children into irreversible procedures under the banner of “care” reveals the need for sanity.
Abernathy’s story begins in confusion and trauma. At just 14 years old, she was placed on testosterone after a fleeting consultation. Months later, she underwent the life-altering surgery. What should have been a time of innocent discovery and natural development became a conveyor belt of hormones and scalpels.
Today, she lives with a numb, scarred chest, nerve pain that zaps like constant reminders of betrayal, and the haunting realization that healthy parts of her body were amputated before she could even grasp the permanence.
In her letter, posted by Genspect, Abernathy addresses Dr. Alan Dulin directly and without deference. She refuses him the title of “doctor,” calling him instead a man who disfigured children for profit and ideology.
“You stole my girlhood. You killed the woman I was supposed to become,” she writes.
She describes watching grafted nipple tissue turn black and fall away, the disfiguring scars, and the daily agony that followed. These are not abstract regrets; they are the lived reality of experimental medicine imposed on minors.
Dulin, a plastic surgeon in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, performed high volumes of these procedures prior to Texas’s SB14 restrictions. Records placed his practice among top billers for pediatric transgender surgeries.
A 15-minute consultation preceded Abernathy’s mastectomy, between eighth and ninth grade. No deep exploration of underlying issues like trauma or mental health—just swift affirmation and surgery. This pattern echoes across the country, where ideology supplanted careful diagnostics and watchful waiting.
The broader “gender-affirming” enterprise has faced mounting scrutiny. European countries have pulled back on youth transitions after systematic reviews found weak evidence and significant risks. In the United States, lawsuits are proliferating.
Recent verdicts, including multimillion-dollar awards to detransitioners, signal that the house of cards is collapsing. Surgeons and clinics once celebrated for their “progressive” work now confront the human cost: sterilized young people, lifelong medical dependency, and profound regret.
Parents placed trust in experts who promised salvation through transition. Instead, many received a new trauma layered atop existing pain. Abernathy’s case highlights how social contagion, online influences, and institutional pressure funneled distressed girls—often those struggling with same-sex attraction, autism, or abuse—toward medicalization rather than therapy addressing root causes. The irony is stark: an industry claiming to fight “harm” inflicted profound, permanent harm while silencing dissenters as bigots.
This rush to intervene ignored basic biology and developmental reality. Puberty is not a disease to be blocked or surgically altered. It is the natural unfolding of God’s design for the human body—male and female, fearfully and wonderfully made. Young minds lack the maturity to consent to such mutilation, a truth now vindicated by growing numbers of detransitioners finding their voices.
Abernathy has testified before lawmakers and the FTC, naming those responsible. Her courage forces a reckoning. As more victims emerge, the medical establishment’s defense of these practices as “life-saving” rings hollow against the evidence of shattered lives. States restricting these interventions are not denying care but protecting children from predators wielding scalpels in service of delusion.
Jase Medical Medically Prepared What does it profit a medical system to gain the approval of activists while losing the souls and bodies of the young? The Bible warns us of such false shepherds: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20).
In the face of this cultural and medical deception, voices like Abernathy’s remind us that truth and protection of the innocent must prevail over fashionable lies.
Her letter is more than personal catharsis; it is a warning and a demand for justice. The whole world should know what happened in those operating rooms. Accountability for the surgeons, clinics, and ideologues who enabled this is not optional—it is essential to restoring trust in medicine and safeguarding the next generation.
The girlhood stolen from Claire Abernathy and others like her cannot be returned, but their testimony can prevent further theft.

Where are her parents? They should be jailed for allowing permanent damage to their daughter.
I have no doubt there’s plenty of paperwork with disclaimers, confirmation of what the procedure entails and possibly ramifications.
It is a misguided and delusional belief that science can change a person’s sex. No amount of chemistry, physical alteration of the main and secondary sex organs (when done), and psychological counseling can overcome DNA. It is a losing battle, resulting in shortened lives (not counting those who commit suicide after the fact) and mental issues.
Big time.
“It is a misguided and delusional belief that science can change a person’s sex”
It is also an evil spirit at work. One that wants to disfigure and mutilate the innocent.
A lot of parents were bamboozled too, told lies such as “do you want a dead child or a trans child” and went along with it because the “experts” told them that it was the only thing that would save their child from suicide.
You and I know what “expert” opinion are are worth, but a lot of people still buy into it.
Look how they say parents placed trust in the doctors and clinics but it is the parents themselves who betrayed their children in many cases. Other parents never had a choice because their children were “cared for” by schools and social workers. I once worked at an inner city high school in the early 2000’s and they had what was called the Gay Straight Alliance that was a student club sanctioned by the school. It was interesting that the teacher that sponsored the club was a beautiful young woman with some very nice breasts. She left my school and became a librarian at a school in a very affluent town. Anyway, teenagers are exploited because they are developing in many different ways at very rapid rates during those years and they have lots of questions and no ability to discern what the right answers are.
Who signed them?
She’s still a minor and by law cannot sign any contracts. She’s got the Dr by the short hairs.
The Democrat Party should be on trial for these crimes against humanity. They loudly supported and encouraged this depraved “industry”. How inhumane can you possibly be????
can anyone think of a reason to get a double mastectomy at 15 other than turbo clot shot breast cancer ?
“Parents placed trust in experts who promised salvation through transition. Instead, many received a new trauma layered atop existing pain.”
These so called patents that gave the go ahead to these butcherings should be in jail.
her parents are idiots, and good that the family tree stops with them.
Morons.
One can only hope that when these broken, disfigured people decide to take violent revenge for what has been done to them, they direct their wrath toward those who are responsible and not to innocent who are not.
EXACTLY
I agree. It was a team failure. Any Judges, Teachers, and/or “Experts” involved ought to be held accountable, too.
Though I recall some cases where one parent (usually the father/dad) who would make a stand and say “NO!” to the crazy, only to be overruled by an authority.
Sometimes, omissions to the story are so obvious, they explain everything.
Claire must have been thinking that the procedure was like getting a haircut!
Certainly, I assume, there were consultations with Parents and Doctor?
And, At her age she could not sign a contract, could she?
Thank you Claire, for doing the nation’s girls/young women a service by being
“Exhibit #1 “ at the Courtroom Bench!
The fact her parents even let her see a doctor about this is wrong. Plain and simple its child abuse.
