It’s crazy that the insurance companies would decide what they are going to pay for based on politics and not actual healthcare.

Yes, similar experience here; the world’s gone batsh*t crazy.

The biggest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing everyone that the Regressive-Left is pro woman/pro feminist. Hopefully this whole trans era we're in will finally prove to everyone that they don't stand for women's rights OR equal rights.

She should've said she identifies as one of thousands of genders that have reduced but not eliminated female expression and then maybe insurance politics would've covered it

As an aside it is frustrating to me to hear that 18 year old girls are getting testosterone after a single phone consult. As a born natural man who needs testosterone to be healthy, I had to go through months of labs and appts and hoops to get medicine I needed (testosterone) for low T. First they even made me (again I am and always have been male and have never questioned that for even a moment) take a medicine that elderly women take first. It gave me hot flashes and sensitive nipples. After that and a half dozen lab tests I finally did get it. But how are they getting it so easily?

After watching numerous detransitioning videos it appears to me that the medical community: 1) is fearful of being called transphobic and 2) these young people to the medical and pharmacy industry are cash cows; clients for life. So truly sad.

@@pamostman516 seriously when they’re immediately referring her to other surgeons, that is all about 💰. The docs are helping each other out. There are a lot of surgeons who want to do as many surgeries as possible to benefit their own pocketbook.

Liking science is deeply feminine, me thinks

Wow thank you for your valuable insight. Truly inspirational. You would rather watch thrillers than romcoms and yet you're not trans? How did you manage it?

@@MotoStu I’m 69 years old. I can relate to everything from the first post in this thread. A tomboy from my earliest childhood memories. Never played with dolls or played “house”. Loved sports, Lionel trains and Matchbox cars. I didn’t want to follow the traditional gender stereotypes. I was lucky. My parents let me be myself. Transitioning with hormones and surgery is madness.

​@@mnob1122 Wait, you're telling me liking romantic comedies doesn't make you a girl? That's news to me. Thank god I stumbled on this comment before I cut off my balls. Thank you

I would have definitely been IDed as trans. And my parents would have done whatever the "experts" said was best for me. Very scary to think what would have happened if I were Gen Z!

Exactly

That nurse was ignorant and did not know what she was talking about.

A nurse is not in any way shape or form qualified to diagnose gender dysphoria. Both things can be true here. There are just tomboys and feminine men that are happy as their assigned gender and there are actual transgender people.

Agreed. I was somewhat of a tomboy as well. All of the our neighborhood kids, boys AND girls, played baseball/softball, street & ice hockey, etc. It was a normal part of life. I played with dolls & I played sports. So what? (I say to the so-called experts. That nurse is just spewing nonsense & has bought into the woke crap).

I totally would have been one of these girls. My Daddy would tell me that I was supposed to have been a boy. I wasn't a femmy girl and I hated my body when I started developing. I'm just so glad I wasn't born later

This!

It goes with the world leaders and their agenda.

clearly the doctors dgaf about these patients

That's actually STILL the case. It's quite hard for a young childless woman to get their tubes tied. Doctors just won't do it. "Oh you'll change your mind about not having kids one day." Shit like that. But if that some woman said, "Remove my uterus and mangle my genitalia into a freakish penis-like mass." (Which would render them unable to have children of course.) They wouldn't even be questioned and the doctors would be happy to do it. Things are just getting INSANE. (Although I'm surprised they gave you so much trouble if you already had a kid and you almost died having one...)

This is something I've been thinking about alot. They'll make you go through hell if you want to get your tubes tied because you don't want kids for example, but if your trans all of this is a no brainer. I'm so confused

Yes!

I totally agree!!

They are both on the spectrum for sure! I have high functioning Autism and I can identify easily.

YES, WELL JOSEF MENGELES CAN'T CUT OFF THE SOUL AS WELL...

BUT SOME LUNATICS WILL TRY

It is. You could be blackballed.

You are so right, and I have used this analogy of the eating disorders before. Just because someone believes something about themselves doesn't mean it is true.

Many years ago, before transitioning was such a thing, I saw a programme about the mental health problems of people who hated one of their limbs “this arm isn’t mine! I want it removed!” Of course, no surgeon even considered it for a moment.

In Belgium, if you are severely depressed and believe you are worthless they will allow you to euthanize yourself, so yes, m sure with American health care it will one day get to that point over here too 🙃

I'm a retired psych nurse. I have lost all faith in what psychiatry has become. Please keep speaking out against this injustice being imposed on the children and young people of the world. Someone needs to protect them from themselves.

Exactly. I had uterine cancer and that is why I had to have the hysterectomy. Doctors used to refuse to do that to young women who had not had children yet.

It is barbaric!

Yeah I know don’t they not do hysterectomies on women if they’re too young? Oh but if they identify as male they will do it?

@@moorek1967 Yes same with me uterine ovarian cancer and I was in my mid 20's

@@MrsK976 I am not surprised!

🎉 100% agree. Its worse than covid traversing the planet

Parental control software is one way. Kids should not be left to process confusing messages from social media all on their own.

Second take away is the vultures waiting to prey on these vulnerable people. The evil politicians and completely corrupt medical community

Not giving kids a smart phone until they're ready to drive.

It’s not just electronics, it’s now in the schools. They teach it in sex Ed.

I hate that she chose to go this route but perhaps it is what helped her become wise. Her transition and body mutilation wasn't wise.

@fergusfarm3793. It's absolutely horrifying. I cant imagine anyone doing this to themselves

I don’t get it either. They have deeper psychological issues than they realize. Horrible.

If it is going to make you more comfortable in your body- the right body for you-I think it is okay to do these things. What I think is important if you feel like you are in the wrong body at a very young age take hormones to delay puberty so you have time to be sure you want to go through this transformation.

Yes. Self mutilation. It is insanity. There is no other word to describe this anti-human madness. It deserves an official mental health psychiatric code. There used to be one, but psychiatrists caved in to social pressure from the screeching minority and scrapped it.

​@claudiakrizay You can't delay puberty. You either go through it or you don't, it's not like you can just stop the hormones & pick up where you left off. Most just don't develop & find themselves sterile.

So true! It's tragic

SHE begged for it!! And paid out of pocket.

There all very vulnerable and often just gay or just don’t know . I see this ideology as basically “fixing “ gay people. Which could be seen as homophobia, lots of kids being sterilised and made medical patients for the rest of their lives it’s really Frankenstein

@@mimibee626 which makes it all the more tragic.

This borders on serious malpractice!!!! Now these changes are permanent. Jazz Jennings had to go through so much before she was allowed to have the surgeries she wanted. This situation is so tragic 😢

She is petty, and I hope she embraces her female persona. Appreciate her speaking out.

How sad. They are destroying the lives of so many with this stuff.

@@jane3069. My thoughts exactly.

This should not be allowed for minors. An acquaintance of mine used to have a daughter, now she has a "son" 12 years of age. Whose idea was it? I have no idea and wish I could find out.

@@farrellmcnulty909 Totally agree but I also think it should not be the norm for adults either. Its just not good enough to say, well your an adult so you can do what you want. Adults need safety nets too. Many so called adults and even more so these days ae vulnerable and some have complex needs which might not be dysphoria, they could be gay or suffering trauma or just simply not very bright and easily led, it happens even to adults. My understanding is genuine dysphoria is significantly rare so much so that we really shouldn't be seeing this amount of people needing treatment for it. Clearly something else is going on here.

Bingo - like you say, not dysphoric but brainwashed. I still can't believe this happening in 2023 and worst still this is being pushed and condoned by governments and in some cases parents.

I totally agree. My daughter is a long-boarder, isn't "girly-girly" as she says, her best friends are guys. She's even one of the first female boy scouts in an all female troop. She's an Eagle Scout who has camped when it was 23 degrees and hiked when it was over 100. Her straight black hair is below her waist. At 18, she's never cared about make-up, but she is all girl all the time. I'm saddened to see that this young woman thought she fit into the "lesbian-category" because she was into sports. The horror of the mutilations she was encouraged to do is heart-breaking. These women have lost so much that they will never be able to get back that I think we as a society should start pressing for criminal charges against physicians who do this.

Exactly. Made to feel so uncomfortable with herself and how she needed to be that she concluded there must be something wrong with her.

The internet can essentially brainwash a confused individual into this obsessive thinking...meaning, a person who is vulnerable can essentially brainwash their own self by viewing all of the content that continually reinforces this negative thinking. Sad, really.

And you are a psychiatrist or a psychologist. You believe? Really?

Yes. Chloe is now doing an amazing job. I think we're all very proud of her.

Cloe is super intelligent and super compassionate. She is heading for something great.

Boys too. A LOT of boys get coerced into chopping their penises off...a cancer community and a corrupt medical professional is all you need to destroy your life.

Nobody is "forced into thinking" unless they are insane or mentally retarded. This girl made self-destructive choices and her parents likely went along with it. The doctors are morally bankrupt, her parents are complicit and she turned herself into a twisted freak of nature. Whoops!

You’re a beautiful woman.

yes...and thank goodness NOBODY has ever been forced into thinking that. It is absolutely stounding that there are still such ignorant people that don't understand this is the exact reason why need gender affirming care, so that people can undergo psychiatric analysis and psychological counselling to understand the difference between having gender dysmorphia and simply being confused about not fitting in to societal norms.

You can't change your sex, it's an illusion. Like anorexia it is body dysphoria.

Tragically, it's usually the first thing they do.

"Make some money" is the new oath.

Are they required to take the Hippocratic oath in the United States these days?

Yep, they extinguish life in the womb and call it "women's health" - it's vile.

The doctors do this for BIG BIG MONEY!

its about agendas and $$$$

Same. I respect the choices of trans adults. But medical transitioning of children makes me uneasy. And “nonbinary” seems a result of social contagion, esp with young people.

Totally agree about the convenience of men’s clothing especially the pockets!

Levi jeans fit better than women's jeans. I don't have the hourglass waist. Small breasted. Never attracted to women. Split wood, learned construction. Kept very fit. Changed my oil, could put on a set of tire chains, change a tire. I had to learn to do everything. Worked at everything from wood shop to hair salon. Never once did I wish to be male or lesbian.

I like mens clothes too because they are much more comfortable

I realized this early; women can enjoy the benefits of being a tomboy and of being a woman! I got to train horses, milk cows, climb trees & play sports as well as wear dresses and be treated special as a woman! Later enjoy being pregnant and being a mother!! WOMEN CAN HAVE IT ALL! Men are pretty stuck being Men- and Transwomen are ugly women, awkward acting, and disgusting trying to be something they aren't!!

😂 same here . Especially men flannel’s … especially vans men shirts 😅

In my opinion NO young person should be allowed to transition. They can make their decision when legally adults.

The first issue is the affirmation from family especially parental figures. Shame is indeed useful and I speak with first hand insight.

Katie herself explained that being affirmed by people in her life helped embolden her and keep her on the wrong track. Stepping in and being real can be the most loving thing to do when someone is heading down a dark path.

Referring to her as a “he” is not going to encourage detransitioning in my view.

​@@candyapple7445agreed

Totally same. At age 14 i wasn't attracted to anyone and I didn't find the idea of dating interesting at all. I needed a bit more time to develop that part of myself, now im a happy lesbian ❤

@Blue Spectrum Thank goodness for that. Imagine if you had fallen into the gender ideology trap and had yourself sterilised and mutilated 😢

It made me so unconfortable when people would sexualize me when I was 11-13. I am black and so I developed early. It's gross.

I was too busy being a tomb boy spending time outdoors and on horseback. No time or interest in boys at that age but still, I am a happily married mom now.

I was still playing with dolls at 13. I got into horses, drill team and tennis. My parents kept my sister and distracted with activity, chores, school and I got a work permit at 15 to work part-time at a steak house. I had a hand full of friends and acquaintances we went canoeing, camping and we fished with my brothers, Then at 16 my body bloomed, breasts, curves, and I was tall. I was by 18, looking 21 and could go to discos to dance. That’s when the “men” vs high school boys were much more aggressive in pursuing girls, all those guys wanted was sex. What a turn off. Didn’t help being called Prudence Pig, Prude, frigid, etc. I matured physically fast, but still a girl. Other girls were on the pill. I was terrified of guys.

I also blame mental health "professionals" who can't/won't see other emotional/ psychological issues that many kids experience, and push them into gender confusion

They're doing it for the love of money, knowing that it's experimental and the long term affects are deadly.

Think about this: the people who routinely take the lives of perfectly healthy and fully viable preborns for no other reason than their mothers say they do not want them ALSO took that same oath to “do no harm”. And in the first half of the 20th century, so did the doctors who ruthlessly performed brutal experiments on unknowing and unwilling people from Tuskegee to Warsaw to Peking.

@@dumbbo1 Sobering reminder: The only "transition" every soul needs is; transitioning from lies/darkness into the truth/light. From religions into reality.

Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

This makes me so angry because actual trans people know this. Their goal is not to become the other sex. Their goal is to minimize their condition. Not all of them undergo surgery because their (actual reconized) condition is helped with other things. Katie was not well informed. And this only shows how stupid the patriarcy is. How girls are bullied if they wont wear a skirt. Girls should be accepted in all forms! Even if they like spiderman and not barbie. This is the problem here! Start raising your girls right! They are ok without dress and dolls.

It is called social contagion and social media can certainly make it travel intensely and quickly. People have been influenced for centuries. Females are generally more likely to be influenced due to hormones and emotions/being more agreeable.

"As you wish."

💜🐷💜 Exactly. A trend influenced by social media for sure.. Well said, searching for euphoria. People are so lost these days.

Wonderful description of our culture! There is definitely a push from the media which is working well, unfortunately. It's being pushed into every avenue of our lives, not just the media, and kids get the message that everyone wants to see them transition.

I think big pharma and China are likely the guys really pushing the agenda. Trans people are on hormones for life.. and its a great distraction for the ever growing threat of economic takeover China has been enacting for decades now. By China I mean the CCP.

I agree❤

Agree!

I have seen adverse reactions to meds; and with an anti depressant it was quite serious; I have seen friends become over-excited.

Read the comments cause that's the way it used to be!

The worrying thing is even a short time ago this was happening. A lot of people (myself included) are talking about growing up as "tomboys" and it was largely just shrugged off and not something that had to be "fixed". They just decided to let kids be kids and find their own identity instead of putting gender labels on everything.

I think you are being silly, there are a lot of people being bullied, ridiculed, shunned and threatened in school not because of being masculine or feminine but because the people do this just because they can and are horrible people, they do this to anyone they can

@@kathylarson8876 I happen to agree with you. What these particular youth experience is specifically what I was talking about, and not to the exclusion of others.

@@akc1739 I agree with the sentiment but even your initial comment demonstrates an issue with our society. What makes a boy "feminine" or a girl "masculine?" Some boys have more sensitive, artistic, emotional personalities, but that doesn't make them feminine. Feminine describes female, which is something that no boy can be.

❤

Yes!! Keep going 👍

You want to help them work through....what exactly do you think gender affirming care IS?!?!?! It's psychiatric analysis and psychological counselling used to determine if someone has legitimate gender dysmorphia or just confusion about not fitting into a perceived societal norm.

@@brianbenoit6883 Have you heard what real gender affirming care is? Have you listened to poor kids who after puberty come to terms with who they are but have been butchered or medicated and are damaged for life. Gender affirming care is just a line thrown out to make people think the best is being done for these kids. They are confused and what we are doing to them is criminal. I loved my kids so much that I always remembered they were just kids whose brains hadn’t developed yet. I said no to lots of things. I used to say that when they were an adult they could make their own decisions but for now I was going to protect them from their youthfulness. Now they are parents and grateful that I didn’t let them do some of the things their teenage brain thought was ok. I loved my kids!!!

​@@brianbenoit6883 Listen to these detransitioners who were rubber stamped into taking HRT drugs and having surgeries that chopped off breasts and took out all internal female parts. The logical thing is to have them go through long evalutions and assessments but that's not what is happening in 98% of these cases.

@@brianbenoit6883not really. I agree with AfricanSoles based on what happened with my child at the clinic. These places are not designed to treat childhood trauma, offer coaching for young people with autism to function better in society, or deal with any of those comorbidities that can make a teen susceptible to social contagion or an easy out for their problems. They’re in the business of getting people transitioned. I wish I had understood that better and not listened to bad advice.

​@@brianbenoit6883You are very clearly missing the point.

Trans ideology is perverse, deeply narcissistic, depraved and truly, truly evil. Never let them shut us up for calling evil, evil.

These girls would not know the words trans, cis, body mismorphia, gender fluid, etc.if not for SM. I have a 15 yr old granddaughter going through - talk about "getting her boobs cut off." Many of the kids in her school seem to be the same way. My granddaughter is very curvy. Tiny waist, hips and quite developed. Nothing she can do will make her look like a boy. But it is the psychological damage I fear the most.

Women have their dangly bits up high, and men have their dangly bits down low. 😉

I was a tomboy too, and I used to tell my parents I "should" have been born a boy. "Well, you NOT" wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, but it's the truth. But if I would've been born a few years later, society would've "diagnosed" me as a trans boy. As an adult, the vast majority of my coworkers have always been male, and my work clothes have always been Carhartts, a hard hat, and steel toe boots. But I can still enjoy being feminine, like at the family reunion where my profile pic was taken (my Facebook profile pic, in contrast, is my hard hat, lol). It's scary what's being done to kids now, and I'm so grateful for courageous women like these, who are speaking out about the dangers. It's fine to be a tomboy! It's fine to be a feminine boy! We don't need to alter our bodies to align with some stereotype.

I totally agree

No. Being spiritual and sober is amazing

Ohhhh 😲 I understand now ❤

@Ben I never had euphoria attached with my transition but I wasn't taking testosterone.

@@lil_weasel219 maybe that’s how you decided on finding a lifetime partner, deciding to have a child or deciding your education.

I wanted to have my tubes tied at 19. Every doctor refused on the grounds that I was too young to know I didn't want kids. I finally got my tubes tied at 29 after psychological assessment to rule out I made that decision based on traumatic experiences. I'm very happy that I finally got the surgery. The point is it took 10 years for them to be sure I wouldn't regret it but they don't hesitate to remove whole reproductive systems and breasts from 18 year olds if they think they should have been born a different sex. Mind blowing.

These surgeries are the modern equivalent of blood-letting and lobotomies. Gender clinics should be shut down, and anyone performing these unnecessary surgeries should be sued for malpractice.

I agree

Sorry, as a physician I do not believe you: we (anesthesia) and obstetricians of course, know way too well what each consecutive caesarian delivery means. It means increasing chances of running into a life threatening post partum hemorrhage because of placenta accreta. The likelihood of having your placenta sticking too much to the uterus increases with EVERY repeated caesarian. So I am not buying that someone who had 4, 5 (😢😢😢😢) cesareans would be denied a tubal ligation.

@@waiki8223 I have a good friend who had 4 children and was going through menopause. She was having issues - bleeding heavy etc. She wanted a hysterectomy and the doctor said no. She got another opinion and was finally allowed to have it. A grown woman who was done having children had to fight tooth and nail to get a hysterectomy, but some of these doctors rush to do complete hysterectomies on a young healthy girl like this.

It was never a problem for me.. I am 70… had 3…

one thing i don't understand is how this traumatic transition creates a high?

The less stereotypes our society has, the better ourselves will feel. Genderdysphoria could even almost disappear.

Exactly. Why is this discussion not had more? It’s a very interesting point. The clash between on one side non binary and socially constructed gender and on the other gender normative stereotypes and transgender. Despite being seemingly in agreement because non binary and trans are both (for want or a better term) gender bending does not means they are on the same side philosophically.

Yes. We reached a point in the 80's-00's where gender was the constant, and gender stereotypes were the variable. This trans movement has now made gender stereotypes the constant and gender the variable. When did this happen? How did this happen? Why did this happen? It is fully regressive. It un-does all that was accomplished during the feminist movement.

And why shouldn't females be entitled to like superheroes or feel more comfortable in jeans instead of dresses? The crazy thing is, this is what the traditional feminists fought for- Equality of men and women to do as they wished rather than being saddled with "gender roles".

She chose it for herself dimwit.

She could have been a good mother if she'd landed on the right path earlier i.e. not brainwashed by leftists.

Absolutely The brain isn't even developed yet.

What if you had been told your interests and discomfort with your bodily changes during puberty meant you were actually a male, and that you required medications and surgeries in order to resolve your "birth defect"?

@@Gingerblaze it’s not birth defect!!!! Goodness I’m not stupid!!!! Not a single person could have convinced me to start chopping. 🙄

I really think social media is a big motivator for young people to change their gender. They tell you that you are probably someone else than who you are. It’s like those stupid tests you take where if you answer yes to so many questions on the list then you’re depressed. Or you’re gender dysphoric.

@@Gingerblaze I would have run out of that office at the speed of light and never gone back.

I can not love your comment enough! The only thing that helped my body dysmorphia was pregnancy and giving birth! It actually breaks my heart thinking about the way I used to see my body.. but after a very smooth pregnancy, a fast and easy labour and recovery and the fact that I bounced right back after pregnancy, made me love and admire my body for what it is capable of, and I feel terrible for not being proud of it during its whole development.. I honestly don't know a single woman who wasn't uncomfortable with her body at some stage during puberty - telling these girls that what they're actually experiencing is "gender dysphoria" is criminal.

@@loosilu that was me. it was hard to accept that I am an incubator, and a dairy farm. then i had this idea to free women from this burden. I started to research artificial wombs, how to invent one.

This is so amazing!" in a way female bodies do not completely belong to them, they have parts to connect to other people, they have parts to form and grow new people. we are not lonely, we are part of the society, we are important.
