Here’s a guy who had a sex change and described what happened to his body. Even though this Tweet is over a year old it’s still educational and everyone considering a sex change should read his story. Below are just a few things he posted, there’s a lot more.
Here’s a point of view from a doctor and it’s not good. Thrown to the Wolves A physician reveals the nightmare of transgender ideology in a major children’s hospital. Christopher Rufo: Please begin by setting the scene. What’s it like in a major children’s hospital in the United States regarding transgender interventions for children? Physician: I think the best way to answer that question is to talk about the cultural shift that happened in 2020, because transgender ideology and Covid are inextricably linked. Normally, doctors operate by the authority of the professional societies that govern our specific practice. That worked because the individuals in those institutions were reliable, intelligent, and thoughtful. But with Covid in 2020, we started getting medical decrees without peer review or evidence—you saw this with masks, social distancing, and emergency-use authorizations. These decrees were expressed as something that everyone had to do, without justification based on sound science. The other thing was censorship. If you were to ask questions or express doubt about these medical decrees, you would be ostracized within your department, and you stood a good chance of being publicly humiliated, severely reprimanded, or fired. That’s when transgender ideology really took off. Within these academic institutions, so-called experts in the field of transgender medicine would simply declare that puberty blockers and other interventions were the gold standard of care. The evidence to support this is completely fraudulent, but no dissent was permitted. Everyone within the medical community knew that if he questioned transgender ideology, he would suffer the same type of repercussions that had happened during Covid. The best way to describe the environment would be as an authoritarian, censorious culture that discourages any meaningful debate and encourages the demonization of anyone who asks questions. Rufo: What are the main tenets of transgender medical theory that are enforced as the conventional wisdom? And how have those tenets changed medical practice? Physician: One, when an individual believes he or she is of a certain sex, he or she is truly of that sex. Two, the ideal response is to affirm that individual’s preferred identity. Three, the repercussion of nonintervention is a higher likelihood of that individual committing suicide. The threat of suicide removes any of the guardrails for what we must do to affirm that individual’s identity. Puberty blockers become justified at 11 years old. Hormones become justified at 13 years old. Double mastectomy becomes justified before 18. But in reality, when you “affirm” these individuals’ gender identity, what you are doing is affirming their hatred for themselves. You have these children who are going through confusing times, difficult times; when you affirm this belief system, what you’re really doing is telling them: “You hate yourself at this moment, and I will affirm that.” We have to ask ourselves, why do these people have such high rates of suicide? Because we’re affirming that they should hate themselves and that they should try to destroy themselves. Rufo: And yet, these are medical doctors. They presumably understand basic human biology. They presumably agree with the dictum, “first, do no harm.” And yet they’ve bought into this not just abstractly but concretely; they’re performing these procedures. How does all their background knowledge crumble in the face of these ideas? Physician: I believe it’s because they’ve bought into the false ideology of transgenderism. And when people have a false ideology, they need a way to separate themselves from nonbelievers and to express their faith to other believers. And if these rituals are not derived from a cultural heritage with a moral tradition, they become susceptible to unbound human depravity. When you look at the Judeo-Christian tradition, you have the outlawing of child sacrifice and other ways that standards were codified. But in the transgender ideology, none of these guardrails exist. So, what becomes the greatest expression of faith to other believers? To sacrifice the most pure and innocent. Once they do that, they become heroes. They become martyrs. They have their flag hung up at the White House. And there’s no going back, because if they were to demonstrate any degree of humility, they would have to come to terms with the fact that they advocated for and participated in a practice that destroyed the lives of innocent children. Rufo: Tell me more about what’s happening to these kids and their health outcomes. Physician: It brings me back to a story. There was a kid in the children’s hospital in his teens who had really bad Crohn’s disease, to the point where he’d already had multiple surgeries. And that kid would always be coming back to the hospital and the operating room. But one day, at the same time that we were rolling that kid back to the OR, another kid was headed to the other operating room to get an implant put into his arm so that his hormones could be suppressed. The first kid had no choice. He had no control over his condition of Crohn’s. He was born that way. There was no way to prevent it from happening. But the second kid was put into that situation because of the psychiatrists, the psychologists, the doctors, the politicians, and those in the media who convinced him that this was the correct thing to do to cure his mental anguish. This should weigh heavily on the consciences of the doctors who did this to a child with the opportunity to live a normal life, to have a normal childhood. At some point, that child is going to wake up, and he’s going to realize that this was unnecessary, that his sexual organs are permanently mutilated, that the balance of his hormones is completely destroyed. He’s going to realize that there’s no going back, that the people who were supposed to protect him threw him to the wolves. Rufo: What do you predict for the future of transgender medicine? Will it continue to gain ground, or will it all fall apart? Physician: I don’t know. I pray that there is a change. One of the things I’ve been thinking about is what puberty blockers do to children. This medication is called a “gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist” and it comes in the form of monthly injections or an implant. And because it simulates the activity of this hormone, it shuts down the activity of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is this almond-sized structure in your brain, it’s one of the most primal structures we have, and it controls all the other hormonal structures in your body—your sexual development, your emotions, your fight-or-flight response, everything. But it shouldn’t be described in such cold physiological terms because your hypothalamus is not just a hormone factory. It’s this system that allows you to stand in awe of the beauty of a sunset, or to hear the sounds of orchestral music and to stop whatever you’re doing and want to listen. And I always think that if someone were to ask me, Where is it that you would look for the divine spark in each individual? I would say that it would be somewhere “beneath the inner chamber,” which is the Greek derivation of the term hypothalamus. To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human. https://www.city-journal.org/article/transgender-ideology-and-the-corruption-of-medicine
https://twitter.com/realJamesKlug/status/1672278579735056384?s=20 question - "do you think a 10 year old can consent to throwing away their adult sexual function" answer - "it depends on the child" lol...and you wonder why the LGBTQ+ is losing popularity. This **** is getting out there and the message is being heard loud and clear. Stay the **** away from the children.
I have seen some youtube videos with post op folks saying the same thing. The re-ocurring theme seems to be "I feel it but i can't do anything about it" The most happy trans folks seem to be the ones that left themsellves alone from the waste down Lucky for them they were smart enough to decide that as adults Its a SHAME the left wants 5 year olds to make THAT DECISION DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am puzzled as there are quite a lot of medical red flags about this story. First is the claim of loss of sensation to the whole pelvic area. Second is the description about what was done with the prostate and the glans penis as it is not medically possible. They MIGHT have developed the symptoms described IF the prostate had been removed entirely but that is rare
Why are you watching you tubes about medical procedures? You tube is less reliable than a used car salesman during a recession
If i'm gonna comment about threads on this stuff, I need more than the MSM opinion. Why are you admonishing me for trying to be open minded?
I’ve had three pretty complex surgeries, and on the forms I had to sign there were alerts that nerve damage could occur which might result in lost dexterity or sensitivity.
Yeah and that COULD happen with some surgeries but a lot of what they are saying does not add up. I have to wonder why they have not gone back to the surgeon for follow up? Plus let’s face it - this is almost an unknown Twitter account which could have been put up by anyone for any reason
No I am admonishing you for using a source that will lead right into conspiracy rabbit holes and misinformation. Look when you Google search subjects like this add the word “research” into the search engine or go through google scholar. Otherwise you will end up believing that putting patches on the soles of your feet will make you “healthy wealthy and wise” OR ask a health professional - there is more than one of us on the forum.
if it is that bad, why do they do it? since the country is overrun with these trannies, why did this person not talk to one first? i can not believe there are no message boards where they can share that kind of stuff
I have read about a loss of sensitivity in the genital area after transsexual surgery in other articles. It would appear this really more of a change in appearance than gender.
“The country is overrun with these trannies”? Where did you get that idea? They are a very small minority that has been made much louder by activists and Democrat Party leadership.
Enough already, can either of you show me a 5 year old or a 10 year old who has legally had this proceedure done?
Can’t they just take puberty blockers (the effects of which are reversible) until they reach the age of consent?
jesus, hamilton, the way you guys talk all the kids are trying out for cheerleader and the girls teams so there are not enough boys left for a coach to groom.
You didn’t even read what I wrote, did you? I stated that true trans people are a small minority. I have problems with advocates screwing around with young children’s heads.
You gentlemen have made a serious charge here. The problem I have with it is even though I hear it over and over again, no one seems to be able to show it happening legally or not. If it his happening illegally I assume there should be case files of arrests and/or trials. Do you have any examples of it happening either legally or illegally? If so we should fix the problem; if not then there is no reason to keep making unfounded accusations.
NYT: "Landmark study" shows suicide rates and mental illness higher among transgenders -- much higher. 'In the United States, transgender activists hold the threat of suicide over the heads of parents when it comes to pediatric sex-change therapies. “Would you rather have a dead son,” they say, “or a live daughter?” The reality appears to be the opposite, as traumatic surgical and hormonal regimes on top of mental and/or emotional issues predictably combine for very bad outcomes.' Both the New York Times and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) cover it. Using four decades of data, researchers in Denmark found that the rate of suicide is higher among transgenders — astronomically higher: 'Transgender people in Denmark have a significantly higher risk of suicide than other groups, according to an exhaustive analysis of health and legal records from nearly seven million people over the last four decades. The study is the first in the world to analyze national suicide data for this group.' 'Transgender people in the country had 7.7 times the rate of suicide attempts and 3.5 times the rate of suicide deaths compared with the rest of the population, according to the records analyzed in the study, though suicide rates in all groups decreased over time. And transgender people in Denmark died — by suicide or other causes — at younger ages than others. …' SIX TIMES THE MENTAL ILLNESS 'The authors of the new report identified nearly 3,800 transgender people in Denmark by pulling data from two sources: hospital records and applications for legal gender changes. Among that group, nearly 43 percent had a psychiatric diagnosis, compared with 7 percent of the nontransgender group.' IN THE US MANY ARE AUTISTIC 'Is trangenderism a medical fad that massively misdiagnoses and ignores other medical/mental problems? The astronomically higher suicide rates among transitioned or transitioning patients certainly indicates widespread malpractice, or at the very least widespread dissatisfaction with the outcomes of sex-change operations and therapies. The data strongly demonstrates that such ‘therapies’ leave patients much worse off than when they started, and doesn’t touch the actual medical issues in play.' INSURANCE COMPANIES TAKE NOTE 'Every lawsuit filed by a detransitioner after this point will cite this study to corroborate claims that medical providers experimented on them with no scientific basis for these therapies and with prior knowledge of the detrimental outcomes.' HOW LONG UNTIL THE ACTIVISTS ON THE LEFT FOR A RETRACTION OF THIS STUDY?
This is a fad. Just like drugs and bellbottom pants in the 70s and tattoos and body piercings in the 80s. I actually feel kind of sorry for this generation because there's nothing shocking they can think of to do that their parents (or grandparents!) haven't already done. Problem is this is permanent, unlike the bell bottoms that could be thrown out and piercings that can grow back. It will be very sad when this particular fad ends.
