“I Was Thirteen When They Put Me on Estrogen” - Jonni Skinner
Description
At 13 years old, Jonni Skinner was diagnosed with a fake endocrine disorder and put on cross-sex hormones. At 14, he was misdiagnosed with "tall stature" and given higher doses to stunt his growth. The same doctors who threatened to remove him from his home if his mother didn't comply also falsified his medical records and sent him to sex shops for "treatment supplies." Eight years later, Jonni is speaking out about a medical scandal that turned vulnerable children into experimental subjects. This isn't just malpractice—it's systematic abuse disguised as healthcare, and Jonni's story exposes how the gender medicine industry operates in the shadows.

Jonni Skinner spent eight years believing he was transgender after being medicalized at 13. Born in rural Michigan to a religious family, Jonni was diagnosed with high-functioning autism at 4 and struggled with being a feminine boy in a conservative environment. When puberty began triggering severe body dysmorphia and religious guilt about his attraction to males, his mother sought help at the University of Michigan's gender clinic. What followed was a systematic campaign of medical abuse that would steal Jonni's adolescence and leave lasting physical and psychological damage.
