Identity Crisis: The Detransitioner Taking on Planned Parenthood

Cristina Hineman grew up in a happy, healthy, loving home. Though she knew by the age of 12 that she was attracted to other girls and experienced some confusion over this, she never experienced any discomfort with her female sex. But after enrolling in public school her freshman year and making friends with a social group, all of whom embraced “gender identities” different from their biological sex, Hineman’s life took a dramatic turn.

Within a few short years, she began identifying as “non-binary” and later as a “trans man,” took drugs to alter her physical appearance, and underwent irreversible surgery to remove her breasts. While some report it taking years to experience any feelings of regret, Hineman realized it was all a mistake just weeks after undergoing a double mastectomy.

Now detransitioned, Hineman faces many ongoing health challenges and has filed a historic lawsuit against Planned Parenthood and her other providers in an attempt to save others from a lifetime of medical complications and trauma.
