Today, we sit down with Soren Aldaco, a 21-year-old woman and detransitioner who is suing her former doctors for a botched mastectomy and other medical malpractices. Soren began identifying as transgender at just 11 years old, began hormone replacement therapy at 17, and had a double mastectomy at 19. Soren was prescribed all these treatments despite numerous mental health conditions and traumatic life experiences. How did this happen? Soren discusses her entire story and the failures of the medical system that left her "permanently disfigured."\n\nGet your tickets for Share the Arrows: https://www.sharethearrows.com/\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(02:30) Beginnings of Soren\u2019s story\n(10:00) Internet indoctrination\n(29:10) Identifying as a boy\n(35:20) Support group & starting testosterone\n(49:24) Double mastectomy complications\n(01:03:59) Treatment issues & payment\n(01:07:26) Soren's lawsuit\n(01:12:35) Soren's faith journey\n(01:15:59) How to support Soren\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nGood Ranchers \u2014 Change the way you buy meat today at GoodRanchers.com with code ALLIE to claim your $100 off and free smoked brats for a year.\xa0\nGet free shipping on all your orders and make this Independence Day one to remember.\xa0\n\nCarly Jean Los Angeles \u2014 use promo code ALLIE50 for $50 off your order of $100+ at carlyjeanlosangeles.com.\n\nNetSuite \u2014 gain visibility and control of your financials, planning, budgeting, and inventory so you can manage risk, get reliable forecasts, and improve margins.
