Sierra Weir is an American ex-transgender activist who posts gender critical content online using the handle “Exulansic.” Weir gets money and attention by making it harder for others to access trans health services.

If you are transgender, gender diverse, or supportive of the LGBTQ community, do not support Weir’s business. There are many better voice practice and voice therapy options.

Background

Sierra Dullea Weir was born in April 1987.

In 2008, Weir studied Turkish for a year at Middle East Technical University in Turkey. Weir earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 2011. Weir then earned a master’s degree from San Jose State University in 2015. Weir identified as transgender for about four years, then as non-binary:

I lived as a trans man for several years, in community with other gender non-conforming people in the Bay Area, where the culture is open to non-traditional expressions of identity. I went to UC Berkeley, where Judith Butler, author of the seminal Gender Trouble, teaches, and where I majored in Gender and Women’s Studies. At one point, a significant other and I (both trans men at the time) attended a brunch with a group that included Julia Serano, a trans woman biologist whose book Whipping Girl argues that transphobia is a form of misogyny and that rights for trans people must be central to feminism. 

Weir practiced speech therapy at Jewett & Associates, at a middle school via Staffing Options and Solutions, and at Nova Health Therapies. Weir founded Say the Word Speech Therapy in 2018.

Anti-transgender activism

Weir is now part of the gender critical and ex-transgender movements.

Under the pseudonyms “Exulansic” aand “TT Exulansic,” Weir has appeared on Savage Minds, Lou Perez, TRIGGERnometry, Benjamin Boyce, and other anti-trans shows.

The International Association of Therapists for Desisters and Detransitioners (IATDD) is an anti-transgender front group. Its members are key figures in “gender critical” anti-transgender activism.

IATDD supported the “ex-transgender” movement, people who describe themselves as “desisters” and “detransitioners.” They sell their services to parents who do not want their children to make a gender transition, known as the “parental rights” movement.

Background

Like many of these official-looking “associations,” it was just a website, part of a web farm of similar sites run by a small fringe group of therapists supporting anti-transgender efforts.

The site went online in December 2020 and went offline in January 2022.

Detrans Foundation (detransfoundation.com)

Genspect is a group of conservative and anti-transgender activists primarily opposed to medical consensus on healthcare for gender diverse youth. Founder Stella O’Malley is a global ringleader in anti-transgender extremism. Genspect is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Genspect positions include

  • opposing transition for transgender people under 26 years old
  • opposing laws that would ban conversion therapy on the basis of gender identity
  • supporting the disputed diagnosis “rapid onset gender dysphoria” (ROGD)
  • supporting the “parental rights” movement of unsupportive parents of gender diverse youth

Background

Genspect was founded in 2021 by Stella O’Malley.

Genspect is part of an anti-trans web farm that includes:

In 2025, Genspect announced that Jennifer Lahl had stepped down from the Center for Bioethics and Culture to run Genspect USA.

2022 Wall Street Journal response

The president of the 67,000-member American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) countered a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by anti-trans activists Julia Mason and Leor Sapir:

AAP advises pediatricians to offer developmentally appropriate care that is oriented toward understanding and appreciating the youth’s gender experience. This care is nonjudgmental, includes families and allows questions and concerns to be raised in a supportive environment. This is what it means to “affirm” a child or teen; it means destigmatizing gender variance and promoting a child’s self-worth. 

O’Malley responded to their response:

I am encouraged by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ statement in its letter that gender-affirming care “doesn’t push medical treatments or surgery; for the vast majority of children, it recommends the opposite.” Unfortunately, this is not the experience of families of gender-distressed children.

Genspect represents thousands of parents of gender-questioning children and young people around the world. We are not aware of any cases in the U.S. or Canada in which children seeking “gender-affirming care” were not given the option of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.

The AAP should recognizes this fundamental point: There is no consensus and no evidence base on which to confidently declare what is “medically appropriate” for gender transitioning of children.

Media Matters for America has noted how writer Katie J. M. Baker of the New York Times has laundered Genspect’s anti-trans views into their publication:

The latest piece â€” another entry in the genre of New York Times articles that start from the premise that trans people are perhaps too accepted in society — covers “a network of internet support groups for ‘skeptical’ parents of transgender children, some with thousands of registered members” without noting that the groups are run by Genspect, an organization that opposes bans on conversion therapy and has numerous members who support banning gender-affirming care for trans people under 25. 

April 2023 Ireland conference

O’Malley organized a conference in Ireland on April 27-29 2023 and featuring many anti-transgender activists.

Attendees included Malcolm Clark, Laura Becker, Colin Wright, Wesley Yang, Jo Bartosch, Camille Kiefel, Robin Ion, Sarah Vaci, Corinna Cohn, and RĂłisĂ­n Michaux.

November 2023 Denver conference

Sarah Vaci is an Anglo-Hungarian artist and anti-transgender activist.

Vaci’s activism focuses on the ex-transgender movement. Similar to the ex-gay movement of the 20th century, ex-trans activists and their supporters often believe people can be cured of being transgender through “desistance” or “detransition.”

Vaci is associated with anti-trans extremist group Genspect.

Background

Vaci was born on September 22, 1977. After graduating James Allen’s Girls’ School, Vaci earned a bachelor’s degree from Ravensbourne University London in 1996. Following ten years of working in SEN schools and with children with autism, Vaci earned master’s degrees in 2008 from Goldsmiths, University of London and from the Institute of Education.

Vaci worked in animation and film production from 1999 to 2010, including roles at The Film and Video Workshop. From 2008 to 2014, Vaci ran digital workshops at The British Museum. Vaci then opened a studio to work independently.

Vaci is based in Devon and uses the nickname “Lordy.” Vaci joined anti-trans group Genspect as a digital content creator in 2023.

Metamorphosis 100

On March 12, 2022, Vaci began profiling people whose gender identity or expression has shifted more than once and who identified as women at the time Vaci profiled them.

Because transition regret is so rare, Vaci has spent substantial time trying to find 100 verifiable people in the world to profile. A number of people profiled have withdrawn or asked to be removed, so the current number of profiles is misleading.

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a conservative American therapist and activist in the anti-vaccine and ex-transgender movements.

Do not under any circumstances go to Garfield-Jaeger for any kind of therapy. If you are a trans or gender-diverse minor being forced to see Garfield-Jaeger, do everything in your power to end the sessions and find a supportive local alternative.

Background

Pamela H. “Pam” Garfield was born on July 31, 1973. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Ithaca College in 1996 and a master’s degree from New York University in 1999, Garfield-Jaeger was licensed in California in 2005. Garfield-Jaeger has done social work and therapy in New York and California at several locations, including The Family Center, Unity Care Group, Starlight Adolescent Center, YMCA, Institute on Aging, and Adolescent Counseling Services. Garfield-Jaeger has had a standalone LCSW practice since 2007 and has offered photography services.

Garfield-Jaeger “resides in Pacifica, California and loves coastal living.” Garfield-Jaeger’s spouse is civil engineer Gregory Owen “Greg” Jaeger (born August 1968), President and CEO of North Coast Engineering in San Miguel.

Conservative activism

Garfield-Jaeger is an ambassador for Turning Point USA (TPUSA), an American nonprofit promoting conservatism on high school, college, and university campuses.

Garfield-Jaeger is critical of vaccine mandates, mask mandates, critical race theory, and “the harms of gender medicine.”

Garfield-Jaeger is an advisor to the conservative anti-trans parent group Mom Army.

Anti-vaccine activism

On Garfield-Jaeger website, it says:

After losing her job at Sutter Health in 2021 due to Vaccine mandates, Pamela has been building a curriculum to guide parents through the mental health system. Her goal is to provide parents with the information and language so they can be the best advocates for their child’s mental health. Pamela’s mission is to educate parents on how to avoid therapists who lack skill or try to indoctrinate their children. 

Anti-transgender activism

Garfield-Jaeger is active in the ex-transgender movement. Similar to the ex-gay movement of the 20th century, these anti-trans activists believe that they can prevent or cure children from being transgender. Garfield-Jaeger became alarmed when “half the girls identified as trans” in the outpatient mental health program at Mills Peninsula/Sutter Health:

I’m a licensed therapist who discovered how extremely wrong gender affirmative therapy is simply because it became so radical and widespread in the last 5 years. I took a hiatus from my profession due to a physical disability and when I returned, the changes were shocking. My views on gender ideology are not politically motivated.

Garfield-Jaeger also promotes the ex-trans propaganda film Dysconnected:

Over the past few years, a transgender tsunami has swept the nation, completely overtaking the medical, educational, and counseling industries, and forever altering hundreds of thousands of young girls’ lives. What is going on? How did it come to this? Who is behind it? And what is coming next? Filmmaker and father Don Johnson traveled the country to find out.

According to a 2023 promotion for a conservative women’s event:

Pamela has done several podcasts and YouTube interviews and starred in three documentaries about the harms of gender medicine. You can stream “Dysconnected” by Don Johnson from www.dysconnectedmovie.com. There is a forthcoming film from the Epoch Times (not yet released and title unknown) and another by Simon Esler called “Cut-Daughters of the West” soon to be available on YouTube. Pamela is part of the advisory board of a new movement called MOM Army (www.mom-army.com). Many of them are sexual abuse and trafficking survivors with a mission to stop the war on our children.

Garfield-Jaeger was on hand to document “Detransition Awareness Day,” a 2023 Sacramento gathering of about 10 ex-trans people, 30 supporters, and hundreds of counter-protestors. Participants included “Chloe Cole,” “detransaqua,” “Layla Jane,” “Exulansic,” “onedonebunu,”, Allie Snyder, Ciara Wall., Jay W. Richards, and Abel Garcia

Chiara Caignon-Lewis is an American “ex-transgender” activist and a founder of ex-trans website Pique Resilience Project. Anti-trans activism is a family business: Chiara’s parent Denise Caignon is also heavily involved in anti-transgender extremism as owner of the website 4thWaveNow.

Aliases include:

  • “Chiara Canaan”
  • “Rachel Miller”

Caignon-Lewis claims the transgender rights movement is “nothing more than misogyny disguised as progressive feminism.”

Background

Chiara Lucia Marie Caignon-Lewis was born August 21, 1997 in Santa Cruz, California to Denise Caignon and Tim Lewis. Caignon-Lewis stated, “I was dysphoric because my father sexually abused me as a child” and because of “my internalized homophobia.”

Denise and Chiara Caignon-Lewis moved to North Carolina. In 2013, at age 16, Caignon-Lewis became an ordained youth minister, then came out as transgender shortly after turning 17. Caignon-Lewis had already come out as lesbian and was dating as one, but an incident at school resulted in few friends in real life. Caignon-Lewis turned to online communities, claiming that popular trans users on Tumblr and YouTube led to a multi-year obsession with transition:

Had I not been exposed to the cultish mindset of Tumblr’s transactivists at a vulnerable phase of my life, I would not have become absorbed by a desire to permanently change my body.

Caignon-Lewis’ coming out involved texting a link to a gender clinic with no other details. Being forbidden to take medical transition steps caused Caignon-Lewis to have many family fights. At the height of the fighting, Denise Caignon got heavily involved with posting anti-transgender materials online at 4thWaveNow and elsewhere.

In 2015, Caignon-Lewis graduated from Chapel Hill High School and was sent to a Florida horse farm for nine months. Caignon-Lewis says the desire to transition subsided after that without taking any legal or medical steps. Denise and Chiara have since teamed up to be the most high-profile family in the modern ex-trans movement.

Caignon-Lewis sometimes performs music locally and has had a string of service jobs in the Triangle area, including at insightsoftware, bartaco, Orangetheory Fitness, Stoney River Steakhouse, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille, and Hawthorne & Wood.

Caignon-Lewis has been riding horses since age two, got a Selle Français cross mare named Tupelo Honey in 2011, and has been involved in competitive jumping and dressage with Honey in North Carolina and at FenRidge Farm in Florida. A self-described “huge horse nerd,” Caignon-Lewis was active on several online platforms, posting about horses and dressage in addition to identity issues (most of which was deleted). Since 2016, Caignon-Lewis has operated a part-time business called Novation Sporthorse, offering training, lessons, and marketing of sales horses.

Caignon-Lewis and three other ex-trans activists created the Pique Resilience Project in 2019 and disbanded in 2020, allegedly because two of the members stopped dating each other.

I was interviewed for this magazine recently (I’m “Rachel”), and have been pleasantly surprised at the positive response so far.

I was dysphoric because my father sexually abused me as a child until I learned to associate womanhood with fear and shame, and I was dysphoric because I am a lesbian, but my internalized homophobia jumped at the option of being a straight man instead.

Had I not been exposed to the cultish mindset of Tumblr’s transactivists at a vulnerable phase of my life, I would not have become absorbed by a desire to permanently change my body.
