What Is a Woman? (2022)

Sara Stockton: Self - Clinical Supervisor

Quotes 

• Self - Clinical Supervisor : We have no research on long-term hormone use. We will be seeing the first generation of long-term hormone use. And we already know, at least with 10 years of hormones you're giving yourself cancer.

• Self - Clinical Supervisor : 2010 until I would say 2016, I would say 80% of my clients were trans youth. Now it is you identify, you take hormones, you do surgery. There isn't any other pathways.

  Matt Walsh : So if you have two parents, one parent wants to affirm the trans identity, the other parent doesn't, who wins that battle?

  Self - Clinical Supervisor : The one who wants to affirm.

  Matt Walsh : Every time?

  Self - Clinical Supervisor : Every time. Every single time. The goal is to get the parents to affirm the kid.

• Matt Walsh : Is anybody at any point explaining to these kids the real, long-term consequences of hormones and puberty blockers?

  Self - Clinical Supervisor : I don't think they're explaining it to the kids. So that has frightened me, that it's become that we're even talking to the kids about it at 10, we're presenting it in schools.
