An Australian transgender content creator has spoken out after her before and after transition photos were used in a preview clip for Channel Seven's program Spotlight, in an episode about children who regret transitioning, without her consent.
Australian transgender content creator Grace Hyland has responded swiftly on her social media accounts after she saw a Channel 7 preview video, which included two photographs of her from before and after she transitioned at the age of 13, without her consent.
The story for the Channel 7 investigative program Spotlight titled De-Transistioning, was described by the network as “uncovering the irreparable damage being visited on a generation of confused kids wrongly diagnosed as transgender”.
“Channel 7 kind of made it look like I regret transitioning,” Ms Hyland says at the start of the clip she posted on her social media, which has now gained nearly 400,000 combined views.
Ms Hyland and her father have previously spoken about her transition at the age of 13 and advocated for more early support in Australia for transgender children in order to prevent trans-adolescent suicide.
Ms Hyland showed the section of the preview video in her social media response from the program, which includes a voiceover that describes the episode as “the most controversial story this year”.
In a statement a Channel 7 spokesperson acknowledged an image of a transgender woman was shown during a voiceover discussing children expressing regret over transitioning in a promotional video.
