Brian Wagoner was a drug addict (meth and other serious drugs) at college and saw a counselor because he had developed a porn addiction and a “fetish” (which he doesn’t describe but says was “embarrassing”) and was extremely paranoid due to the drugs, and she persuaded him he was transgender and put him on estrogen. As he sobered up he started to get Gender Dysphoria as he was disturbed to be treated as a woman and eventually detransitioned, which he describes as “leaving the Twilight Zone”
