A detransitioner who underwent a double mastectomy as a teenager is publicly confronting the surgeon who performed the procedure, accusing him in an open letter of removing her healthy ******* without adequately addressing the underlying causes of her distress.
Claire Abernathy's Thursday letter to plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Dulin details her regret over the surgery and describes the physical and emotional toll she continues to experience years later.
"You took advantage of a little girl's confusion and a family's trust to perform an unnecessary, disfiguring surgery on a child who was barely through ******* rty," Abernathy wrote. "You committed an act of violence that I have to wear on my skin for the rest of my life."

In a recent op-ed for Fox News, Abernathy wrote that she was put on testosterone at 14 years old and that eight months later, surgeons performed a double mastectomy on her.
