DeepSummary
Megyn Kelly interviews Mary Margaret Olohan, author of the book "Detrans" which shares stories of people who have detransitioned after undergoing medical treatments to transition genders as minors. They discuss the lack of safeguards, formal processes, and medical protections for minors making life-altering decisions about transitioning.
Luca Hine, a detransitioner featured in the book, joins the conversation. At age 16, Luca underwent a double mastectomy and started taking testosterone, despite experiencing mental health issues, trauma, and being groomed online. After four years on testosterone, Luca realized the transition was a mistake and is now suing the doctors and clinic involved.
They delve into the manipulation by medical professionals who promise happiness after transition, the coercion of parents through suicide threats, and the abandonment of detransitioners by doctors who enabled the transitions. The financial incentives driving clinics and surgeons to perform these procedures on minors are also explored.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “It is frankly a threat, the line that they give to every parent. Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son? And it's framed as this compassionate, you know, kind of warning, but I view it as a death threat.“ by Mary Margaret Olohan
- “To the young people, it would be, you are going to do so much growing and so much finding yourself and finding what you're interested in, especially in your teenage years. Don't let those years become consumed by a medical industry that does not care about you.“ by Luca Hine
- “The monetary incentive here is, I mean, I think we all assume it's there, but it is so perverted, if you think about it, when someone gets on testosterone. So let's say a girl gets on testosterone, she's not getting on it for like two years. She's kind of getting on it for life.“ by Mary Margaret Olohan
