Ritchie Herron joins us from Newcastle, England. He considers himself an advocate for those who have experienced medical negligence from gender affirmation based treatments. He first spoke out about his experiences in June 2022, and has since appeared in news and documentaries across the world, including a RTE Primetime. As a growing writer, he has contributed to publications including books such as Dr Az Hakeems Detrans, and The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht. He says his mission is to warn others of the dangers of the extremely invasive surgeries that are sold as life saving, and to give others like him the chance he never had.

He’ll be speaking on our panel The Perks of Being Courageous, a raw and vital discussion on the hidden toll of gender ideology—from irreversible medical interventions to the emotional and relational fallout for those affected.
