“I was put on estrogen and blockers at the age of 13. My body fell apart.” @JonniSkinner’s 💔 testimony to the CA Assembly Health Committee (3/17/26) 🧵 Listen to the devastating testimony of Jonni & Layla, former child victims of chemical castration and sex-rejecting
Across a woman’s life there are three major physiological transitions: puberty, pregnancy/childbirth, and menopause.
Medicine tends to treat them as separate stories. Lived experience often doesn’t.
This essay explores a single regulatory pattern that reappears across these stages — sometimes as overwhelm, sometimes as crisis, sometimes much later as muscle cramps or autonomic symptoms — not as pathology, but as boundary dynamics under changing conditions.
It’s about recognition, not diagnosis.
About regulation, not “coping better”.
And about why many women sense continuity where systems see fragments.
If this resonates — for you, your daughters, or your patients — you’re not imagining the pattern.

I was 36 years old, standing in a pub, secretly navigating the early, volatile stages of a second puberty, and no one knew.
My chest was on fire. It felt as though someone had taken sandpaper to my nipples and then dipped them in acid.
