Simon Amaya Price [@SimonAmayaPrice] is scheduled to testify in person at the CT Legislature in Hartford, CT, on March 24, 2025. He will oppose three bills (SB7, HB7135, SB1530) considered to be legal puzzle pieces to prop up profitable trans medical practices, lobbied by activists and activist-organizations in the state.
Simon Amaya Price has been described as a punk rock voice of his generation. A 20-year-old Berklee College of Music graduate out of Boston, Amaya Price dared to speak out in October 2024 on today’s most controversial subject: the permanent, harmful effects and inefficacy of “gender affirming care” pushed on LGB, autistic, or otherwise vulnerable youth for ideology and medical profit. Simon identifies himself as a “desister:” He was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and socially transitioned, but did not go on cross-sex hormones or undergo surgeries.
“This is considered to be like the opioid crisis, but empowered by an ideology,” Amaya Price says. “Kids like me are sold the lie that we were born in the wrong body, then pushed into medicalization. The first time I saw a double mastectomy was on a 16 year old girl. The amputated breasts of regretful teen girls are piling up.”
At 14, Amaya Price was in his pediatrician’s office after explaining his new transgender identity. He witnessed the doctor ask his father: “Would you like a dead son, or a living [trans] daughter?” Thankfully, Simon’s father refused to cave to the rhetoric and stood firm in the belief that more counseling was needed, not experimental medication. Simon grew out of it, as most do, as objective, non-activist research shows. His friends weren’t so lucky.
“There’s nothing authentic about being trans. Why would you need to change your body with experimental medications and surgeries if you were really being true to yourself?” says Amaya Price. “Once you start taking cross-sex hormones they’ve got you on track to becoming a lifelong medical patient. This is a multi- billion dollar industry: estimates for the lifetime revenue for a clinic from a single transgender patient is estimated up to one million.”
“The first time I was exposed to gender ideology was when I saw the ‘Gender Unicorn’ in my 9th grade health class,” says Amaya Price. “Between that and joining my school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, where we watched YouTube videos by transgender influencers, and the deep distress I was in after experiencing homophobic bullying in middle school, I was a perfect target for the transgender mind virus.”
“Through the death threats, doxxing attempts, and hate, I fight for me and my friends,” adds Simon. “Many detransitioners need medical and psychological support, but are unable to find it due to the ideological capture of our medical system. To all those questioning their trans identity: there are people out there who will support you and fight for you.”
