Former transgender model Salomé, born Miles Yardley, is detransitioning after a decade. He transitioned at 15, driven by mental instability and influenced by medical professionals he now believes acted prematurely. Diagnosed with a pituitary tumor and hypothyroidism, potentially linked to hormone therapy, he cites the therapy's long-term effects as depriving him of a “normal” life and parenthood. Now in California, he is adjusting to life as Miles again, facing physical discomfort and social challenges while emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance for gender-nonconforming youth.
