PragerU has purchased a “takeover” advertisement on X (formerly Twitter) to promote its latest documentary, “DETRANS: The Dangers of Gender-Affirming Care.”
This 21-minute documentary shines a line on the stories of young adults who have chosen to detransition after receiving sex change treatment. The documentary takes a deep dive into the lives of two individuals who share their personal journeys and the regret they feel about undergoing hormone therapy and so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries, with a specific focus on these procedures being performed on children.
One of the documentary’s central figures is Daisy Strongin, a detransitioner who openly discusses her struggles with depression from an early age and her introduction to gender transformation content on platforms like YouTube and Tumblr.
“There are so many young people who are going through very similar things that I did and are still being told that transitioning will save them,” Strongin explained. “And it’s just not true. My story is tragic in some ways, but it’s very redemptive in many ways.”
PragerU’s choice to take over the X platform for this campaign was significantly motivated by Elon Musk’s ownership of the website and his dedication to free speech.
PragerU’s Chief Marketing Officer, Craig Strazzeri, elaborated on their decision, saying in a statement to NBC, “We decided to pursue an X takeover because it’s a great opportunity for us to reach a massive audience on the dangers of gender-affirming care given that X is one of the least censored social media platforms thanks to Elon Musk.”
“This will give millions of people the opportunity to hear important stories from detransitioners themselves, many of whom have been censored and even ostracized because their lived experiences do not affirm the mainstream media’s narrative,” Strazzeri continued.
This documentary comes at a time when a number of states have implemented legislation that bans minors from obtaining irreversible transgender procedures. As the heated topic of transgenderism continues in American society, PragerU is rightfully spotlighting the voices of individuals who regret these procedures and wish to warn others.
