Queer Activist Claims She Has Never Heard of ‘A Case of Anyone De-Transitioning’: I ‘Don’t Think It’s a Real Thing’

A queer activist is raising doubts about whether “de-transitioning” is a “real thing.”

During a House hearing on anti-🏳️‍🌈LGBT violence on Wednesday, Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) asked Jessie Pocock, a queer activist and executive director of Inside Out Youth Services, about the “phenomenon” of de-transitioning.

De-transitioning refers to a trans person seeking to return to their original gender.

“What’s that person going through? Did they get it wrong? Were they going through a period? Is it just a fluid thing?” he asked.

Pocock responded, “I can’t really speak to an individual’s personal experience. You know, somebody’s gender is just a really personal thing.”

“I’ve been in this work for a long time, I know a lot of trans folks, close friends, family members, and I’ve just never heard of a case of anyone de-transitioning. So I honestly don’t think it’s a real thing,” she added.

Cloud pushed back as he noted there are a “number of cases in the news right now where this is happening.”

And the question is, is kids who are maybe making a permanent decision even without the input of their parents,” he continued. “I’m curious how we would work to protect kids.”

Chris Beck, a retired Navy SEAL, came out as transgender a decade ago. However, in recent days he shared that he is de-transitioning and criticized
