Summary

Bridget sits down with Grace Lidinsky-Smith, a detransitioned woman, to talk about her experience getting top surgery and then regretting it, the danger of always thinking about everything through the lens of gender, how knitting saved her, and her hard won knowledge that with time and patience things can actually improve. They discuss Grace's wish that therapy had advocated for her to slow down and do some more assessment of her situation, how people with gender dysphoria are being sold a bill of false goods that extreme measures are the solution to complex issues, the huge marketing machine around trans surgeries, and how you can't escape awkwardness when it comes to sex and sexuality no matter how hard you might try. Read Grace's writing on her substack Hormone Hangover.
