Helena Kerschner and transgender people
Helena Kerschner is a conservative American ex-transgender activist. Kerschner made a social transition and took hormones as an adult for about 18 months before stopping.
Kerschner was part of Pique Resilience Project, an ex-trans group that includes Chiara Caignon-Lewis, Dagny Walton, and Kerschner’s ex-lover Jesse Hinty. Kerschner was an advisor for anti-trans hate group Genspect and was a member of Beyond Trans and Detrans United. Kerschner was active from 2019 to 2023.
Background
Helena Elise Kerschner was born July 24, 1998 in northern Kentucky and grew up in the Cincinnati area. Kerschner’s parent Magdalena E. Kerschner (born 1960) is a physician who ran a pain clinic. Kerschner’s parent William P. “Will” Kerschner (born 1959) was an executive at a large consumer goods company. Both are retired.
Kerschner had a childhood of immense privilege and was involved in figure skating and other expensive hobbies like horse riding. As a teen, Kerschner was a compulsive Tumblr user, writing:
[…] By the time I was thirteen, I was isolating myself, self-harming, and had developed an eating disorder. In eighth grade, I lost touch with most of my school friends, and was too self-conscious and preoccupied with my eating disorder to put myself out there again. I started skipping school, spending lunch in the bathroom, and in general just keeping my head down, trying to get through the day unnoticed.
[…] When I was fifteen, I was introduced to gender ideology on Tumblr and began to call myself nonbinary. Over the next few years, I would continue to go deeper and deeper down the trans identity rabbit hole, and by the time I was eighteen, I saw myself as a “trans man”, otherwise known as “FtM”. Shortly after my eighteenth birthday, I made an appointment at a Planned Parenthood to begin a testosterone regimen. At my first appointment, I was prescribed testosterone, and I would remain on this regimen for a year and a half. It had an extremely negative effect on my mental health, and I finally admitted what a disaster it had been when I was 19, sometime around February or March 2018.
[…] Between sharing photos, drawings, and fanfiction, these girls were posting about their lives and going into deep detail about their struggles. Many were social outcasts like me, also struggling with things like self-harm and eating disorders. Finding a community of such like minded people felt amazing, and I quickly began spending nearly every waking moment on Tumblr or messaging some friend I had met on there. If I had any remaining motivation to integrate myself into real life, I lost that here.
Kershner became sexually attracted to and obsessed with boyish pop culture figures like Elvis and Justin Bieber. Kershner eventually wanted to embody them. This erotic interest in masculinization was not well documented prior to LiveJournal, Tumblr, the “shipping” phenomenon, “slash” fiction, and anime fandoms frequented by fujoshi (“rotten girl”) fans.
Kerschner met Hinty via Tumblr, and they got romantically involved and lived together. Kerschner started hormones as an adult on August 15, 2016. According to an interview with Daily Wire, Kerschner’s new name was Vincent Lucas “Vin” Jaszczak. Jaszczak was a family name.
Ex-trans activism
While most people who make additional changes in gender identity or expression remain supportive of the process, some choose to get money and attention by joining the ex-trans movement.
Kerschner was drawn into alt-right ideologies “during a suicidal mental break down.” Kerschner found toxic online communities including now-banned subreddits like r/The_Donald and r/GenderCritical. Kerschner wrote:
“I found a subreddit called r/GenderCritical. At first, the ‘transphobic’ language (such as calling trans women ‘men’) horrified me. I felt so incredibly guilty for even reading the words in front of me, but I couldn’t look away. It was my first exposure to a perspective towards trans issues that wasn’t the mainstream narrative, which I now knew was at least not true for me. I searched the subreddit for topics of detransition and regret, and I saw other young women posting similar stories to mine. I made a post, and was met with a surge of positive, encouraging comments.”
Kerschner soon became fixated on alt-right figures like Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson in ways that mirrored previous fascinations with Elvis and Justin Bieber.
Pique Resilience Project and 4thWaveNow
In 2019, Kerschner launched ex-trans group Pique Resilience Project with Chiara Caignon-Lewis, Dagny Walton, and Jesse Hinty. After launching a Twitter account in January, they began posting videos in February.
Kerschner also worked extensively behind the scenes with Denise Caignon, owner of anti-trans group blog 4thWaveNow and parent of Kerschner’s collaborator Chiara Caignon-Lewis.
In March 2019, Kerschner, Caignon-Lewis, and Hinty were panelists at a Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) event titled “Gender Hurts: The Feminist Fight Against Gender” The panel was hosted by Natasha Chart and moderated by Sheila Jeffreys.
According to their archived website:
“In addition, we visited Congress in 2019, where we shared information about detransition/desistance with representatives and senators. We also visited other important organizations in the Washington, DC area, including: The American Psychological Association, National Institutes of Health, the National Association of Social Workers, and others. Visit the Resources section [archive] of this site to see the packet of information we provided to everyone we met during our visit to our nation’s capital.”
Pique Resilience Project disbanded in January 2020 after Kerschner and Hinty broke up. The other members did not do much subsequent ex-trans activism, but Kerschner got even more involved.
Media appearances
Kerschner was the most mediagenic and enthusiastic member of the Pique Resilience Project, which led to many media appearances.
In March 2019, Kerschner made the first of six appearances on anti-trans podcast Calmversations with Benjamin Boyce. Other guests who appeared with Kerschner on Calmversations included Sasha Ayad, Carole Hooven, Josh Slocum, and Nicholas Terepka [as “Limpida”].
Kerschner has spoken at a number of anti-transgender events and has appeared on conservative media outlets, including

In 2022, Kerschner was featured in The Detransition Diaries: Saving Our Sisters, directed by Jennifer Lahl for the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network (CBCN). Kerschner also spoke at a March 4 CBCN event with Lahl, Colin Wright, and Michael Laidlaw.
In September 2022, Kerschner was extensively featured in Tucker Carlson’s two-part Fox News special Transgressive: The Cult of Confusion. A clip of the Kerschner interview was removed from YouTube for “violating YouTube’s policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams.” In it, Kerschner says:
“I feel honestly grateful for the experience, because it’s taught me a lot about the world and about myself. But I really feel afraid for these other young girls like myself, who they might not be– I consider myself lucky that I was able to get out of it unscarred medically, but there are so many young people who can’t say the same.”
On October 7, 2022, Kerschner was a signatory on a letter to Merrick Garland prepared by Detrans United, a group created by ex-trans activist Chloe Brockman (aka “Chloe Cole”). It was in response to a letter by several major medical organizations urging the Department of Justice to take action against social media companies that allowed the spread of misinformation about trans healthcare:
“The recent letter by these groups calling on the DOJ to put pressure on social media companies to censor who they portray as “high-profile users on social media” sharing “false and misleading information” is nothing more than an attempt to silence the reasonable voices of concerned critics calling for a more cautious approach to experimental medical practices impacting vulnerable children.”
Ohio anti-trans testimony
In 2022, Kerschner testified in support of Ohio legislation HB 454, the “Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE)” Act at the second hearing of the Families, Aging, and Human Services Committee. Kerschner’s written testimony is on the committee page. The Post Millennial stated Kerschner’s spoken testimony took nearly half an hour. The Buckeye Flame, an Ohio LGBTQ+ outlet, noted that Kerschner’s testimony concerned only care received after turning 18, which the bill did not cover. HB 454 itself did not pass. Its successor, HB 68, became law over a veto in 2024.
Kentucky anti-trans testimony
On March 13, 2023, The Kentucky Senate Standing Committee on Families and Children met to discuss HB 470, “an act relating to the protection of children.” It proposed a ban gender-affirming care for minors, including testosterone and estrogen, with an exception for people born intersex. Healthcare providers who gave such care to anyone under 18 could lose their licenses and, where applicable, public funding. Kerschner submitted one of about ten written submissions for the hearing.
Subsequent activism
Kerschner announced a plan to step back from ex-trans activism in February 2023:
“Turns out, it’s actually incredibly draining and stressful! I wouldn’t change what I’ve done, but in the last few months my intuition has been pretty firm in letting me know that it has to stop. […] I just can’t think about this issue or my past experiences as deeply or as frequently as I have in the past. Honestly, I can’t even think about politics or social issues in general; I’m totally ‘burnt out’.”
In December 2023, Kerschner co-authored a paper published in anti-trans journal Archives of Sexual Behavior with Lisa Littman, Stella O’Malley, and J. Michael Bailey.
Kerschner is featured in the 2024 book Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult by Mary Margaret Olohan.
