Transgender: Spiritual Understanding
I let my ego talk me into a double mastectomy and 4 yrs of T. The scars, deep voice and missing nipples are daily reminders that healthy bodies can’t be rebuilt. Kids deserve time, not irreversible medical ‘solutions.’

Mikayla Silverthorn, a detransitioner, recounts how spiritual insight revealed that her trans identification was ego-driven rather than authentic. She warns that rushed mastectomies, testosterone and puberty blockers inflict irreversible harm—loss of nipples, fertility and the chance to breastfeed—while the system hands out approval letters after brief assessments.

Mikayla Silverthorn opens the video by acknowledging she is speaking on a low-energy day but feels compelled to share her perspective on transgender issues from a spiritual angle. She frames human beings as “triad beings” composed of mind, body, and the eternal spirit or soul. According to Mikayla, the spirit is the only true self; the mind and body are merely vehicles it temporarily inhabits. She argues that all identities—whether “fireman,” “mother,” “boy,” or “girl”—are constructs of the egoic mind that craves structure and duality. From this vantage point, she positions her own past trans identification as an example of letting the mind, rather than the spirit, dictate life-altering decisions. Mikayla recounts that she was born female, with a uterus and breasts, but allowed her “ego” to convince her that her body was the source of her pain. This led her to undergo a double mastectomy and four years of testosterone injections, choices she now describes as irreversible and deeply regrettable. She laments that no one probed deeper questions—such as whether she might someday want to breastfeed a child—before green-lighting medical transition. The scars, the permanently deepened voice, and the loss of her nipples serve as daily reminders of what she calls an “ill-informed choice” driven by anxiety rather than authentic self-knowledge. Speaking as a detransitioner, Mikayla warns viewers, especially young people, against allowing medical professionals and online cheerleaders to rush them into hormones and surgeries. She criticizes the current system for handing out letters of approval after brief assessments of “gender dysphoria symptoms,” and she is particularly alarmed by the prospect of 12-year-olds on puberty blockers making fertility-ending decisions. While she insists she does not hate or shame those who transition, she feels obligated to speak because she has “been there, done that” and wants to prevent others from repeating her regrets. Finally, Mikayla offers an alternative path rooted in nature, emotional honesty, and spiritual practice. She advocates grounding oneself in the physical world—literally walking barefoot outside—and turning to herbal remedies like cinnamon, ginger, and raspberry leaf for menstrual pain instead of pharmaceuticals that “damage your liver.” She stresses that true healing takes time, especially for survivors of sexual abuse, and urges viewers to listen to the heart rather than the “egoic mind.” In closing, she affirms that every person remains “perfect,” “beautiful,” and “absolutely loved,” even if they halt or reverse transition choices, emphasizing that the body itself is never the problem.
