The expanding realm of medical miracles has delivered immense wonders and simultaneously, immense responsibility. Among them, the topic of childhood medical transition remains one of the most controversial and increasingly prominent issues. At the vanguard of this debate lies an unlikely hero, Scott Newgent (Transman), catapulted into the limelight through a shocking documentary by Matt Walsh (1). A poignant narrative of the savage reality of childhood medical transition, Newgent's account is breaking echo chambers and prompting a societal reexamination of this dubious practice.

Haunted and hardened by his own gruesome experiences of medical transition, Scott Newgent emerged as a beacon of awareness for society. Standing mostly alone, Newgent has ignited a revolution and dared to engage the elephant in the room, drawing attention to what might be the biggest medical scandal of the modern era (2).

Newgent's activism was not long confined to public speaking or media appearances, as it transferred impeccably into the realm of policymaking. Marking his first substantial victory, Newgent helped write the first bill to ban childhood medical transition in South Dakota (3). Subsequently, these pioneering legislative efforts have profoundly influenced states across America and have served as templates for similar legislation.

In an increasingly divided world, Scott Newgent has achieved what most activists around the globe aspire to - unity through understanding. His approach, void of prejudice, does not spare anyone from critique, if found substantial. Even Governor Abbott of Texas, noted for taking funds from gender clinics while claiming to oppose childhood medical transing, finds himself at the receiving end of Newgent's outspokenness (4).

The true essence of a hero is often identified posthumously, and in Newgent, we find a potential legend-in-the-making. The seeds of change he has sown may not see full germination in his lifetime, but his legacy could echo throughout the annals of history.

My first encounter with Newgent's powerful advocacy was through an interview on Matt Walsh's show 'What is a Woman.' As I sat in my living room, the television casting a flickering light into the quiet space, his words resonated within me and I found myself revisiting his interview over and over again (Walsh, M., 2020)[2]. There was an authenticity that shone through his narrative, a raw honesty that gave life to his single-minded pursuit of truth. His depiction of the intricacies and challenges of medical transition gave me a glimpse into the frontlines of a largely unseen battle.

It struck me then that Scott was the "real deal", not an activist speaking from a pedestal of detached interest but a hero forged in the crucibles of lived experience. His insights on transgender realities come not from a textbook detached from real-life stories but from his own account of medical transition (Transgender Trend, n.d.)[1]. His life narrative- as riddled with difficulties as much as it is filled with strength- serves as an awe-inspiring canvas of resilience and grit.

As one of the most censored activists in the world today, Newgent embodies an admirable paradox: he stands alone yet his message resonates with many. His clarion call for a more nuanced understanding of childhood medical transition has stirred a global conversation, a testament to the ripple effect of his singular and brave voice (BBC Three, 2019)[3]. His fight against censorship seems to be a catalyst rather than a hindrance to his impact. Indeed, the power of his message is seen in its transformative effects on its recipients, myself included (Stanford Medicine, 2021)[4].

With his relentless conviction, Newgent isn't afraid to “call anyone and everyone to the carpet” if it serves his mission of waking people up to his cause. He has been attacked from all corners, yet he persists, solid as a rock amid a torrential storm (Vitagliano, E., 2020)[5]. His tenacity is stirring, a symbol of his commitment to his cause and a testament to the transformative power of personal experience turned into activism.

The narrative of Scott Newgent dislodges our inherent perspective towards the practice of childhood medical transition. This is the narrative of a hero who, even in the face of adversity, has strived to awaken society to an often overlooked reality. Whether it be through his ensure activism or his pinching accounts of personal experiences, Scott Newgent has managed to not only shock the world but to inspire change and advocate for the well-being of a silent demographic.

Often, change is initiated by a radical, someone who dares to oppose societal norms and expectations for the greater good. Scott Newgent embodies this radicalism, showcasing exemplary courage, resilience, and strength. As we continue to navigate and discover new societal norms, it's crucial we remember those such as Newgent who emboldened us to scrutinize reality critically, rather than accepting it blindly (5).
