In this podcast episode from the "Parents Rights in Education" series, Suzanne Gallagher converses with Camille Kiefel, founder of the nonprofit organization D Trans Help. Kiefel shares her personal journey through gender identity struggles, including undergoing a non-binary mastectomy funded by Medicaid, which ultimately led to worsening mental health and physical health issues. She speaks about her extensive experience with mental health treatments, including dialectical behavior therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation, none of which provided relief until she focused on her physical health. This led her to question the fast-track process for gender transition surgeries and the lack of support for those wishing to detransition. Kiefel's organization, D Trans Help, aims to provide support for detransitioners, highlighting the medical and bureaucratic challenges they face, such as the absence of an ICD-10 code for detransition, which complicates insurance billing for necessary medical care. The discussion touches on broader issues around gender transition policies, the quick diagnosis and recommendation for major surgeries without exploring underlying health issues or alternative treatments, and the financial and ideological motives that may influence the healthcare system's approach to gender dysphoria. Kiefel's testimony against a conversion therapy bill in Oregon underscores the complex landscape of legal and medical standards affecting individuals with gender dysphoria and those considering detransitioning.
