Now, she says a weight has been lifted since deciding to detransition.<\/p>\n<p>KC Miller, 21, adopted a transgender identity at 16 and began taking testosterone after being referred to a local gender clinic by the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia just after her 17th birthday. Only six months after the injections started, she received a double mastectomy to remove her breasts. Miller, who had been on testosterone for five years, has experienced a receding hairline and substantial hair loss as a result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just keeps getting worse, it keeps thinning, it keeps receding backwards, and I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s coming back,\u201d Miller lamented in a now viral video posted to Twitter on October 9.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just for some perspective: this is what almost five years of hormones does to a teenage girl.

The video amassed nearly 7,000 comments, some offering words of support, and others accusing her of \u201cgrifting\u201d and \u201cweaponizing\u201d her experience at the cost of \u201ctrans lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trans-identified male activist who goes by the name of \u201cKeffals\u201d shared a photo of Miller alongside Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, insinuating they looked similar, to nearly 150,000 followers in a <a href=\"https:\/\/ovarit.com\/o\/TransLogic\/176732\/keffals-shows-true-compassion-and-humanity-towards-detransitioner-kc-miller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">now-deleted<\/a> tweet.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cqueer\u201d digital magazine, Into, penned an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intomore.com\/the-internet\/trans-people-clapping-back-detransitioner-result-life-giving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> about the activists who are \u201cclapping back\u201d at Miller for her crime of \u201cbolster[ing] right-wing claims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result is life-giving,\u201d Henry Giardina of Into wrote about the commenters ridiculing Miller\u2019s visible sadness.<\/p>\n<p>Miller initially expressed reluctance to stop taking the hormones as she didn\u2019t see her hair loss as \u201cfixable,\u201d but on Sunday, she announced her decision to detransition on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mz_p-jF3qP4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve made the decision to attempt to detransition,\u201d said Miller. \u201cFor the longest time I\u2019ve been holding myself back from trying because I thought I was too far gone, as the infamous video said, but comments from people kind of made me think otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller has reported that she is feeling better since the deluge of spiteful messages she received for her video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking that decision to try and detransition has lifted a weight off my shoulders that I didn\u2019t expect would happen,\u201d Miller told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel more at peace, maybe that\u2019s just because of the decision and realizing I don\u2019t have to live like this forever,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Miller, who identified as a lesbian before she transitioned, now recognizes that \u201csocial contagion\u201d played a large factor in encouraging her to adopt a transgender identity. She was first introduced to gender ideology when she was sixteen through influencers on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see videos of people magically \u2014 as they paint it \u2014 transforming from girls to boys, it seems very alluring when you feel like an outcast,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Miller describes being gaslighted by trans activists on her viral post who claimed they \u201cnever glorified transition\u201d or that it would \u201csolve all their problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went through several videos \u2014 I decided not to post it \u2014 and took clips from \u2018first year on hormones\u2019 or \u2018post op updates\u2019 where people were saying, \u2018This is the best thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life, I\u2019m so confident, I\u2019m so happy, this is the best year of my life,\u2019\u201d Miller explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see that rhetoric over and over again, and people talk about how much more confident they are, and you\u2019re struggling just to socialize with people \u2014 that\u2019s powerful,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>When two of the transgender YouTube influencers who inspired Miller began posting videos about realizing they may have made a mistake, she began to doubt her own transition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne was really big in the transition space because she had bottom surgery and was open about it and talked about it, but now it\u2019s gut-wrenching to see her,\u201d Miller spoke of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/JALISA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jalisa Vine<\/a>, a YouTuber with over 109,000 subscribers who in recent months began sharing tearful accounts of her detransition story and the guilt she feels for encouraging others to adopt transgender identities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had hundreds of videos about her transition that she\u2019s now hidden,\u201d Miller recalled. \u201cShe would post about her graft site on her arm, one of her most viewed videos was \u2018I hate my arm\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller recalls being told she had a \u201cmale brain in a female body\u201d by her own doctor at 16 years old. Additionally, her mother was told by a psychologist that Miller had a \u201c40 percent chance of successfully killing herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller has since lost faith in the medical establishment. She now realizes that her doctor was mistaken, and worse \u2014 that she had been lied to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young woman who formerly identified as transgender went viral on Twitter earlier this month for describing the negative effects she experienced using testosterone.
