Elle Palmer is a brave young woman who spent 5 years identifying as a transgender man. She took testosterone for 3 years, but eventually realized she would never truly feel like a man, so she detransitioned at age 19. Since her detransition, Elle has spoken openly about the struggles in her life that led to her coming out as trans at 15, the harms from childhood transition, and the lifelong effects that remain even years after her last shot of testosterone.
Elle began uploading to YouTube in 2020, garnering over 5 million channel views on various videos related to transition, detransition, and her life as a woman. In 2024 she joined a cohort of proud detrans voices who travel around the country to tell their stories and support legislature preventing harm from coming to more confused children like her younger self.
Her goal is to share her story with as many people as possible, and hopefully reach the ones who need to hear it the most.
Elle's first in-person event was “Protecting Women & Girls in Washington” with WDI USA in Seattle on 11/17/24, and her speech is available to watch as her pinned post on X or on her YouTube channel, elle palmer. She then traveled to Washington, D.C. on 12/4/24 to rally at the Supreme Court for the Skrmetti case and speak to the media!
Elle attended AmFest for the first time in 2024, and had a lot of fun. She will be returning for the second time in 2026, eager to hang out with friends and meet new people!
Please support her journey. She will use these funds to travel to the next event to speak about her story, support other detransitioners, protect women and girls, or meet with lawmakers to continue adding her voice to the collective who are finally speaking up about common sense!
