There are people who hate transgender individuals and want to erase their existence. Radical feminists are one group that refuses to accept people like me, not because of pronouns or appearance, but simply because we exist. Even though I don't do anything to upset them, they still say horrible things about me. I recently spoke to someone who works in the gender critical space and she was shocked by the hate she witnessed. These radical feminists view me as a threat to women and are out to harm people like me. It's important to address this hate because it discredits our fight against discrimination. I appreciate the support I've received.

The speaker raises the question of "what if they're wrong?" but counters with "what if they're right?" They mention that detransitioners are usually fine and may even have a different appreciation for the world. The speaker personally knows a few detransitioners who are doing well and believe their transition still saved their lives. Rejecting them can contribute to harm, as shown by research on the negative effects of not accessing gender affirming care and support from parents. Whether they're right or wrong, affirming them is positive and shows belief and support. The speaker provides a link for more information.

It's important to notice that transitioners often survive and share their stories, while non-affirmed trans kids often do not. This is crucial for parents and friends to understand. Detransitioners have shared their experiences on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Unfortunately, non-affirmed trans individuals have a high suicide rate, with up to 41% attempting or committing suicide, usually before the age of 23. This is devastating and emphasizes the importance of affirmation for trans youth.

Being transgender is not a mental illness, as approved by major medical, psychological, and psychiatric associations. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the part of the brain that matures in the early twenties and is responsible for decision-making. Executive function, which includes planning and inhibition, is the primary function of the PFC. However, executive function does not relate to one's identity. In fact, individuals without a mature PFC may be better equipped to express their true selves, as they are less likely to inhibit who they are. This is seen in autistic individuals and those with ADHD. The idea that the brain has not fully developed yet supports the notion that inhibiting one's identity can be detrimental if it goes against societal norms.

The number of gender surgeries for natal females in the US increased fourfold between 2016 and 2017, with women accounting for 70% of all surgeries. The UK reported a 4,400% rise in teenage girls seeking gender treatments over the past decade. Clinicians in Canada, Sweden, Finland, and the UK noticed a shift in the demographics of those with gender dysphoria, from mostly preschool boys to mostly adolescent girls. The transgender movement has given power to young individuals, but it may create chaos and confusion for them, as they still need guidance and parental support. This could be seen as a disservice to them.

We should stop wasting time on the idea that male and female aren't real and focus on improving healthcare for everyone. Unfortunately, this thinking has infiltrated our institutions, particularly in American healthcare, and it's causing harm. Children are being misled and these lies are negatively impacting their mental health, happiness, and understanding of gender. This will have long-lasting effects on their lives. It's too late to stop it completely, but we need to limit its duration before realizing it's a serious medical and social scandal. This issue is present in schools and communities, so we must fight against it to prevent further spread.

Gender affirmative care is deemed medically necessary, safe, and effective for transgender and non-binary individuals. Attacks on the LGBTQI+ community, particularly trans youth, are driven by an agenda unrelated to science and medicine. These politically and ideologically motivated assaults contradict the vast body of scientific evidence.

The speaker asks why most detransition stories are from white individuals and prompts the audience to share their thoughts in the chat. Some responses suggest that white people receive more support and protection, while people of color may face discrimination and lack access to healthcare. The speaker highlights the health disparities driven by race and socioeconomic status, including medical racism. They emphasize that easy access to gender affirming healthcare is often limited to white individuals, causing frustration for trans people who face long waits and barriers. The speaker clarifies that the issue is not about reducing access, but rather increasing competency in healthcare and addressing medical racism.

I believe transgenderism is a mental health condition, but I support open conversation. I met two young women who had regretted their decision to have surgeries as teenagers. I think adults should have the freedom to live as they choose, but we must protect children.

People who have transitioned their own children will fight forever, like Japanese soldiers unaware the war is over, because they must believe they did the right thing. This is considered the worst social contagion because many have irrevocably harmed their children. Entire organizations and friendship groups are destroyed when someone has a trans child. Organizations become paralyzed because people can't speak the truth in front of that person, as it implies they abused their child. Some individuals actively work against women's rights because they transitioned their child. These people will do anything to destroy those who disagree with them, as those people are a standing reproach. By saying natal males will never be accepted in women's spaces, it's their son being discussed. They've told their son he can be sterilized and women will accept him, and if that doesn't happen, there's no way back for them or their child. These people will keep the movement going because they have everything to lose and it's a fight to the death.

I wanted to find relief from my pain and figure out what was wrong with me. I turned to the Internet for help. Recently, there has been a surge in media and social media representations of transgenderism, even in mainstream advertising. This content is being consumed by young teenagers, who can easily be influenced. When trans-identified kids go to gender clinics, they are promised comprehensive mental health assessments, but that's not always the case. These clinics now believe that trans kids know who they are, and questioning them is taboo. I was easily manipulated and nobody was there to support me. I tried to alleviate my gender dysphoria, but it only made my body image issues worse. Now, what do we do?

I was once a true believer in gender affirming care, training judges and hospital staff in Missouri. My trans spouse of 13 years detransitioned, which contributed to my change of mind, along with other factors. The protocol is homophobic, built on regressive stereotypes. Of the first 70 children in the protocol, 68 were same-sex attracted. One patient died after a vaginoplasty using their colon due to the puberty blocker preventing normal penis growth. Teenage girls are susceptible to social contagion, especially during COVID lockdowns and increased phone use. Patients mirrored online narratives about being trans, which we called "TikTok tics" in the clinic. I harmed patients, sending them to the ER for emergency surgeries after vaginal tearing during their first sexual experiences. We removed a young woman's breasts who later regretted it, detransitioned, became pregnant, and said her trans identity was a social contagion. I changed my mind because it was the ethical thing to do.

Seventeen years ago, the speaker medicalized at an LGBT center after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. They were told that their feelings about their body were not related to childhood sexual assault (CSA), but rather that being gay and trans were innate. The speaker underwent facial feminization surgery, sex reassignment surgery, and HRT for seventeen years. They now have multiple health conditions from transitioning young and for so long. They realized that homosexual transition was often environmentally caused by CSA, internalized homophobia, or failed boy syndrome. The speaker states that those who continue to push medicalization hate them and call them a bigot. They claim that transition was conceived by academics trying to find a way for homosexuals to exist in a fascist world and that the ideology is based on lies. The speaker now identifies as a gay man. After detransitioning, they were canceled by all their liberal friends and had to leave the city. They believe people are being lied to and diagnosed with a symptom rather than the root cause of their gender dysphoria, leading them to a life of ruin with irreversible interventions.

Clementine, a detransitioner, shares her experience with another person also named Clementine. She began puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13, and had a double mastectomy at 14. Testosterone caused her to experience psychosis, so she stopped taking it around age 17. Now 20, she detransitioned earlier this year and is undergoing reconstructive surgery. She notes that getting approval for reconstructive surgery has been more difficult than getting the initial double mastectomy. She expresses disbelief that people question the experiences of detransitioners.

In gender critical circles, some people believe they can always identify transgender women because they see those who don't pass as biologically male. However, many transgender women do pass, especially if they transition at a young age. Those who pass tend to hide it due to the stigma faced by non-passing transgender women. Stigmatizing gender nonconformity and limiting childhood transition only pushes dysphoric individuals to seek early medical transition. While there are risks and regrets associated with both childhood and adult transition, the lack of acceptance and kindness towards adult transitioners makes it a more challenging path. It's important to have conversations about the risks and realities of transitioning at different stages of life.

In order for therapies for gender dysphoria to become mainstream, the definition of the condition needs to change. In the past, transgenderism was considered a mental illness and treated as such. However, in 2013, the American Psychiatric Association changed the nomenclature from transsexualism or gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria. This change removed the term "transsexual" and shifted the focus away from pharmaceuticals and surgeries. Without these interventions, the condition is essentially reduced to being a transvestite or cross dresser. This was the understanding of the condition for many years.

There has been a 5000% increase in adolescents suddenly expressing discomfort with their bodies, which parents report seems to appear "out of the blue." This rapid onset gender dysphoria is often found in kids with conditions like autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, or abuse, and in difficult family situations. This phenomenon tends to happen in clusters, with many kids identifying as transgender or non-binary having friends who also identify that way. This suggests an element of social contagion, where feelings, behaviors, or beliefs spread within a friend group. Some children's social lives are primarily online, where they are influenced to question their identity and assume a new one, sometimes by older individuals.

Detransition is often portrayed negatively, but research shows that it is not necessarily traumatic with proper support. The Trans Youth Project, a longitudinal study on trans youth, found that retransitioning is not experienced as traumatic when there is a supportive environment. If individuals are allowed to explore their gender identity without judgment, they are generally fine. Most of this exploration happens before any medical interventions are made. Retransition and detransition are about letting people see themselves and supporting them in their journey. If gender nonconformity wasn't stigmatized, detransition would be more accepted. These important considerations about detransition are not widely shared.

Children's bodies are not properly developed, but people argue that denying transition will lead to suicide. Data indicates the opposite: transitioning correlates with increased suicide rates, suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety. Individuals may regret transitioning, feeling manipulated and exploited. The speaker criticizes the use of "puberty blockers" and "gender affirming care" for minors, comparing it to barbaric practices like lobotomies. Children go through phases, and boys who want to transition may simply be gay. Some gay individuals feel that the concept of transition erases gay identity by implying they are in the wrong gender.

There is a default setting for humans regarding male and female, but it's important to recognize that not everyone fits into this binary. While we should compassionately support those who don't conform, we also need to acknowledge biological realities. Children often lack the understanding to navigate these complex issues, and no parent desires to face such difficult choices. The perception of being transgender may seem trendy today, but it's not a choice made lightly. The prevalence of gender identity issues can vary by location, potentially influenced by societal acceptance or suppression. This phenomenon can be likened to the historical suppression of left-handedness, which increased once society accepted it as normal.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, often facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, are being rushed into gender transition without proper evaluation. They are sent to therapists who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which can sterilize them and eliminate their ability to experience sexual pleasure later in life. This is happening to children as young as 9 or 10, who cannot provide informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having made irreversible changes to their bodies. This issue is critical, impacting both children and women's rights.

The speaker reflects on their upbringing, noting they did not have any trans role models available during their formative years. This absence of visible, lived examples of being transgender is presented as a significant gap in their life experience. The speaker suggests that having trans role models earlier could have led to a different, more favorable path regarding their own gender transition. They express a belief that access to role models who share their identity and experiences would have encouraged them to transition sooner than they did, implying that an earlier transition would have reduced difficulties and hardships they faced along the way. In articulating this point, the speaker asserts that an earlier transition would have made their life considerably easier, indicating that the timing of transition and the surrounding social and personal circumstances had a substantial impact on their well-being. The speaker emphasizes the idea that the absence of appropriate guidance and examples contributed to a longer, more challenging period before transition, during which they felt they went through the “wrong puberty.” This phrase underscores a sense of misalignment between their assigned gender at birth and their authentic gender identity, as experienced over time. The statement implies that puberty, when experienced without suitable role models or supportive frameworks, can become a source of enduring difficulty for someone who later identifies as transgender. Overall, the speaker presents a personal narrative in which the lack of visible transgender figures in their upbringing is linked to delayed transition and greater life challenges, while the presence of supportive role models could have facilitated an earlier, smoother alignment with their true gender identity. The fragment ends with an incomplete thought, signaling that there is more to their message beyond the provided text, but the core message conveyed is clear: the absence of trans role models during childhood and adolescence is connected to postponed transition and additional hardships before reaching a more authentic alignment.

Being born in the wrong body causes immense suffering and various disorders. Transitioning is not a choice, just like being gay. It's not something one wakes up and decides to do. It causes distress, suicide, and mental health crises until individuals find the courage to be their true selves. Offending trans women is not the intention, but rather acknowledging their existence. Comparing it to putting a sticker saying "lesbians don't have penises" is off-topic. The point is not to look at the sticker, as it implies that trans women are an idea and not real.
