78. Detransition and Grow │ Leigh Janet Marshall

Whose Body Is It

Today I speak with Leigh Janet Marshall, a biologist and formerly trans identified woman from the Bay Area. Early exposure to pornography shaped Leigh's understanding of what a woman is and convinced her she was better off as a gay man. Conceived by artificial insemination, Leigh met her father at age 18, and then connected with one of her biological sisters, donor conceived, who was also struggling with alienation from her female body. With Leigh's constellation of early abandonment wounding and female socialization, she coped by becoming anorexic and later bulimic. In an effort to find authenticity, Leigh and her sister committed to transitioning together, but this was not the cure for her despair that she thought it would be. Leigh now recognizes transition as soft suicide; yet another form of self-harm used to express the shame of being a woman. Leigh woke up to the fact that she was targeted for medicalization but not before pursuing sterilization at age 29.

Leigh sees gender affirming care for youth, as blunt a tool for population control as China’s one-child policy. Leigh connects many dots of the transhumanist agenda, from reproductive technology, to pornography, trans ideology, and artificial intelligence, and shines light on how trans ideology is a gateway for population control and the personification of machines.
