I found the interview I was thinking of. Turns out his name is Scott Newgent.

When people ask me why I care so much about medically transitioning children, it takes me back to the day when my daughter made that joke about being transgender. The fact is that if I had not transitioned, I would have been one of the first parents to race my child to the gender clinic. I would probably be an activist hating the exact person I am today, and it's a heavy burden, knowing that. My intense passion is to inform the person I would have been if I had never transitioned.

Thank you so much for sharing! Those last bold paragraphs hit me particularly hard. 😢 And, OMG, all the complications he had! I agree with everything he said. We need to protect kids from being experimented with this way. I feel like I’d probably be pro childhood transition too if I hadn’t been a GNC child and been though transitioning myself. It’s just so promoted now as being completely safe and reversible with like blockers and everything. I’m sure I’d just accept it was the right thing too.
