Well done! On 12 July 2024 and the New York Times posted the following article: "Why Is the U.S. Still Pretending We Know Gender-Affirming Care Works?" Kathleen Kingsbury, the opinion editor of the New York Times, and the person responsible for overseeing the editorial board, endorsed a re-examination of gender affirming care. In her editorial published on 2 February 2024, she notes: "I was struck, too, by the disagreement among medical experts on how best to care for patients with gender dysphoria". This is the NYT! Not exactly an alt-right news outlet

Don’t forget testosterone accelerates cancer growth.

Bowers is a whack job and his license should be revoked

Thank you Chance and Jennifer!

Gender affirming care policy needs to stopped now, especially for the people under 25 years old. Human brain can not be manipulated until 25 years old. Many young people are not independent even they graduate from college and find a job. How can a person become mature without independence

Does the same thing happen when a man takes estrogen

How did you not know you would get a deeper voice and masculine features by taking testosterone? That's on you that you got more than what you bargained for! A male can't effectively live as a man and then credibly transition to female. Once that genie is out of the bottle it doesn't go back in too easily. I think that's when something about "broken body and broken insides" comes into play. Conservatives and detransitioners only care about their lives and the hell with the folks who benefit from gender medicine. Males who use blockers and estrogen just sort of stay the same; it isn't as dramatic as your foray with testosterone. Testosterone ruins any neutrality, femininity, or boyish traits and if gender dysphoric, blocking and cross hormones should be allowed after and with proper counseling.

Health care shouldn't be compared to sex, your slimy tattoo, booze, gambling or cigarettes. You intentionally used "age of consent" instead of "age of majority" to muddy us up and make us look like a bunch of rapists. Since you "doped" testosterone maybe you should go to the "other" bathroom instead of the ladies. You are stronger and have competitive advantage so perhaps you might have a tougher time regaining access to those female spaces.

As a happy trans woman with no desire to ever detransition, I feel for you. It pains me that the affirming care that saved my life has caused you strife and misery. I hope your detransition journey goes smoothly, and that you live the happy and healthy life you deserve. I am curious about one of your view points though. Do you believe a cis woman who is willing to date a trans woman is a lesbian?

Hello from Australia im a detransitioned MTF the opposite to yourself i took HRT estrogen for just over 6 years the side effects iv been suffering and still hasn't settled is severe fluid retention and very dry skin iv had to stop taking HRT estrogen because it doesn't mix with other medications iv been taking for years and most likely the rest of my life not enough research has been taken on the drug when my endocrinologist asked me what other medications did i take i told him the one and he said he'd never even heard of it OMG I nearly fell off the chair 🪑

Thank you for raising awareness. I hope more people can learn about the realities of hormones before taking them.

Joy to the world 🎉

Bingo! It is impossible to provide informed consent!!! Best captured in the words of Prisha Mosely: “I decided that I didn’t want to be a woman before I had ever experienced being a woman. I had no idea what being a woman was like, because I was a child".

you are talking about cosmetic changes here, but also there are severe health complications. It would be nice to hear about these: effects on female pancreas, cardiovascular health, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, more about effects of binders, chronic pain and other effects of double mastectomy. There is one thing that I noticed, but there is not too much research done: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and transition. Females with this condition tend to transition because they have painful periods, but then testosterone makes it so much worse, they get Tethered cord syndrome. I've seen detransitioners spoken about it, I've seen a "trans-men" in a very bad physical state, trying to fundraise for her treatment for TCS.

The second puberty isn't a delusion. It affects one emotionally and physically and is not fakery nor cosmetic and should be taken seriously. "Unrecognizable"! Now you know how us adult-boy twinks felt when we were forced and laughed at.

🙌💖 thank you for talking about this. We need more honest discussion

Hi Chance! 😊

I cry every time I see that iconic photo. My heart is so heavy.

The perpetrator was a Republican and I'm sure if it was a Democrat or a transgender, you would have told us.

❤️🌊✨

Quit categorizing, labeling, boxing persons in, and trying to change their core self and identity when they are beautiful persons as they are.

Now a laugh or cry on diversity. When my daughter found out all of the different races and cultures she possessed and tried to fill them on on work form, when they asked race, she tried filling them all in. They said, "You can't do that, so she left the box blank."

In the rare DNA test, you can click on each category, and you get a whole page of history on these cultures that lasted hundreds of years, and none of would even be alive if our ancestors hadn't lived and survived these cultures that have lived for millenia. He had Crazy Horse, Marco Polo, Egyptian King Tut, Akenhauten, and Cochise in his DNA for starters. I hope they do more work on the genome, and find out that persons such as yourself, are rare, and should be left alone as is.

You are likeable and intelligent. You can't put a box on any kind of real diversity. You are as unique as your finger print when you are born. And I don't like LGBTQ stealing the rainbow and slandering it, when it is a beautiful phenomenon of nature, and they further use it to put persons in another contained box. I gave my grandson the rare gene DNA test. It was fascingating, his Sub-saharan genes were in black, his American Indian genes were in Red, and the European blue. He is gorgeous, and I would not change one cell in his body.

“Health care” in general is a travesty. God bless.

I wonder if it is going to be in Canada as well?

It is important to consider detransitioner, every trans person only wish you to be happy in your body, no matter you figure out you are trans or not So why going against that ? « harmful transgender concept » ? If you consider, teaching that your mind and body contradict themselves, that everything is not a fatality and you can be happy in your body by changing to the opposite gender (with or without medically transitioning) or not, because the trans community is aware it is a hard thing to figure out your gender and warns what they call « eggs » (peoples who thinks they are trans but not sure) about the consequences and that it may not be the right solution for them, as you can be feminine without being female, and masculine without being male (femboy and tomboy exists and they are only a part of the spectrum) So why attacking that ? Trans also march for kids, for kids to be happy in their body and their mind, and to educate them on one of the most important subjects of their life Trans only wish you that, you have the same goal but you are blinded by disinformation

Hi Chance. Thank you for your service to humanity. Truth sets us all free. 😊

Thank you Chance 🌸

Fox is a “friend” to detransitioners because they’re useful to Fox’s anti-trans narrative. Trans and de-trans both need fair discussion all around. Everyone’s experience and outcomes are different.

Great topic. We need more honest people like you educating u.s. 😊

Thank you Chance 🌸

I had a dance teacher who was M-F. I found her competitive and derogatory about people who weren't present. I got the sense she had a lot of trauma in relation to being biologically male and that entering the female domain gave her power over us. It's such a very complex situation that needs more complex and thorough psychological interventions. Love and care and attention ❤

You are a bit narcissist as well because you can't take criticism when faced with it on your channel. Transition and detransition are personal issues that involve the self so their is an inward interpretation manifesting itself to the body on the outside. My goal in calling you out when I feel it's needed is to prevent echo chambers where like minded people just spout the same inaccurate information. We went through this with the Covid vaccine and now with gender medicine. Your story is your story and I'm someone who doesn't mind being challenged and believe in letting you speak. I respect you. I have a fascination with what causes transition and detransition and want to see what patterns emerge in those that do detransition. It's not some sick thrill. I believe the medicine should remain legal and that is one of my primary goals. Compromises are also part of my goal as is extending gender medicine to gay twinks who don't want to suffer twink death and become men. My worst nightmare is that someone tells me that I coached them into something and now they can't be what they want. For me, letting nature take it's course is quite a disgusting thing and irreversible. Living as a man and then an old man offers me nothing. I tip-toed in and back out very quickly so I know about mild masculinization. I just shut down and quickly had those physical changes reversed through medicine. Physical manhood is something I'll never accept and I'd probably be wearing a mask and closed off to the world if I was denied medicine. It's amazing that I have to have this conversation everyday when I started medicine a decade and a half ago.

I'm surprised to learn you had the body issues like anorexia often associated with gender dysphoria. I thought you came strictly from the social side. I'm a natal male who shut down sperm production for years in my mid teens-mid 20's through protein and calorie restriction. I knew that if I kept my weight at 5 pounds from every inch above 5 feet then that would happen as well as curtailing height and muscle growth. I never went lower than 10% underweight so I had some restraint. My issue was that I didn't want to grow into being a man. I just live my life and a very active, healthy one at that. Despite being nearly 50, I try to look mid teen and I hang around other adult-boy twinks like myself both online and in person. I have no interest in masculinizing and reversed the little bit that happened with a castration and low dose estrogen. If I'm happy, at what point would you say do what you want medically? Please include me in your response video next friday. I endorse gender medicine but don't want to see regret. I've been listening to naysayers my whole life especially when they saw that I just wasn't gay or transgender.

Thank you for your bold stance. I am so sorry for the atrocity that you have endured and the lack of support from the community that should have protected you all along. I pray for your healing journey. I will continue to speak out. Much love to you xoxo

People complain about detransitioners speaking out about their experiences. The more that some people see the truth, the angrier they get.

Wow. You honesty and strength is an inspiration for others not to hide, especially now. We have to stop the harms of this movement and story hammers home vulnerability.

Keep educated. We all need it. 😊

I will check it out, thank you

NY Times has become irrelevant with their views. Therapist don't write hormonal prescriptions.

🎉❤

💃❤️

Just a bunch of confused people. Probably those who dont have work. They havr too much time to think of pronouns

Did the school provide hormones? I don't think so.

Yes. His penis was botched due to circumcision!! And that is why they started this sick experiment! And he didn't even realize he was a boy until he was 14. He committed unaliving himself after his brother passed away.

❤ Thank you for your love of country! God bless you and America! 😊

Lol... that was awesome. It's really sad but I do love the effort you went through. Its sad because we know how eager surgeons are to affirm young girls. Its lucrative business. Judge the White House by what it does NOT what it says. Talk is cheap and nothing will change for the better. The standards of care have no age restrictions and this is because the White House had them removed. This is how evidence based transgender medicine is created in 2024.

Many important questions that we all want to know the answers to.

Thank you Chance 🌸
