Doctors, always the doctors.

I don't like assuming bad faith but the idea that we're not getting enough informed consent is asinine. The average trans person ends up becoming an amateur endocrinologist on their way to even getting hormones in the first place. What's more it only takes like a month to realize if you like the effects of hrt. I think we need to remove the stigma of detransitioning as it truly isn't for everyone. You should feel the freedom to opt out of transitioning at anytime. I hope the best for this person. Truly. The other 99.99% of trans people who are just living our lives are still going to be here. Maybe you'd like to hear our stories as well.

legitimate question from an old guy who knows nothing about the topic: clearly you must be aware that we cannot turn men into women or vice versa. we simply dont have the technology yet. so all you're doing is carve urself up a little bit, put on a dress and some makeup and voila, ur still a guy with missing body parts and horrifying wounds. so what exactly did you think u were "transitioning" into? if i woke up as a woman one day due to black magic or something id just roll with it and hopefully I could persuade my wife into some lesbian action. i just dont get it.

This conversation is so important because a lot of people in the trans community, including the majority people I know, act like taking hormones is no big deal, they act like it's reversible & that health effects are rare but that's just not true. As a 30 something year old I was on testosterone only for a couple of months. I got it from Planned Parenthood, the people who prescribed it basically had no idea what they were doing. They didn't screen me for mental health or health risks whatsoever. I started having some pretty severe side effects pretty quickly and I wanted to stop but I also felt addicted to the testosterone. Luckily I was able to quit cold turkey but there was damage that was done and it took me about a year to really bounce back, some things will remain changed because I have a hormonal disorder and I should have been screened for that before I was prescribed cross sex hormones but there were no barriers to access. I don't believe in banning HRT but I think that there does need to be some gatekeeping and there needs to be safeguards in place because taking cross sex hormones can be very dangerous and can lead to lifelong health complications and even in some cases death.

congrats max......honestly you look better like that....happy xmas from canada

Can't wait to hear about your experience with the dermaroller. I tried a facial dermaroller a few times and was interested about the application to the scalp. Yay for a new video! 🎉 Happy smiles. And your mom is awesome! ❤ Tell her "Hi from another mother in America!"

you look really good!

Actually really suits you

The amazing shave (very brave) highlights your very attractive facial features! This is NOT a loss!!!!

Looking good!! I also thought it looked great when the sides of your head were shaved but you still had short hair on the top! 😍 You can rock both of those options!! 😍

It suits you ! Merry christmas .

Handsome man with a fabulous smile! Merry Christmas!

It's nice to see you laughing and smiling. Your head is a nice shape for bald. Not everyone can pull it off. Blessings to you from Canada.

❤

I think you look great.

You look beautiful! I was thinking about you recently! Glad to see your new video!

Wow you actually look so ruggedly handsome! I hope it’s a confidence booster for you, looks great!

i thought about you today and you posted!✨magic✨ I think you look great :) Happy Christmas and New Year!

Max good to see you back! You have a wonderful new year!

Nice!

Looks great! Happy Christmas 🎄

You are misinformed. Children do not get hrt. At earliest. Age 12 they get puberty blockers. 5:30 Also me watching this on my 6th month of E. I just want more estrogen. More!!👁️👄👁️ And also. God doesn't exist.

Whats your most debilitating symptom u have? Its the brainfog, right?

Dude, don't dwell on the past. Find your purpose and attack it. You have a lot of life ahead of you and there is all kinds of opportunity out there. I understand the mental anguish that comes with your situation but you need to find your purpose and have that occupy the majority of your waking hours. It can be done.

This WORLD needs to put a total end to the LIE and GASLIGHTING and FRAUD that the INDUSTRY of "transgenderism" feeds on. GENDER CAN NOT BE CHANGED NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT. You can, however, be neutered, butchered by an insane hack of a surgeon, and put together with your bits scrambled WHICH DOES NOT MAKE YOU THE OTHER GENDER.

Watch Alex Ray Williams and Phil Illy for some support

For many people, trans mess is important to maintain happiness. However, it is true that people who have detransitioned exist. Regardless, always be yourself. ❤

Just a thought, but "informed consent" doesn't mean we know everything about what HRT does. If you are simply aware that we don't know, then you are still making an informed decision. :)

I do really feel badly for people who detransition, but there is so much misinformation in narratives like these that I wonder if the motives are genuine. There's a lot of questionable stuff here, but the main red flag for anyone watching should be the talk of playing God and the claim that transitioning only works for 1% of people. The first is just ideology as all medicine is in a sense playing God, and the reality is that it's closer to 1% of people for whom transitioning doesn't work. There are studies on regret rates for transitioning and they're about 1-3% which is the same as for any surgery, the takeaway being that some people will regret making major life changes. It also sounds like this person simply wasn't informed and only mentioned dysphoria about facial hair for which just doing laser hair removal would have been all that was needed. It's sad, but nothing here should be used to invalidate people who want to transition.

you are such an attractive handsome man. wish you could see that. with love

Please can I speak privately 😢 for over a year now, I have been struggling with my identity, and I want to dextrans after Being on HRT for 5 years

Amazing video! And you're so funny! xD You are great Max. I love watching hiking & wild camping videos and I'm so glad you post these. Great thing to be able to accompany you on such adventures

No, absolutely not. Just because you had a bad go doesn't mean you get to take it from people like me who haven't had a bad go. Stop trying to hurt people with your story. It's not one size fits all.

What do think would happen if medically things weren't as bad?

Gender can't be changed. Never. No way. Only liars and fools think it can. Sorry you had to go through so much effort to realize what should have been obvious to you all along.

Max, you can do it because God loves you!

I am so sorry you have been caught up in this mess. I hated puberty but I had to go through it. The internet didn’t exist and my world was changing and i didn’t want to. Female puberty and society was horrible. Raped at 16, amnesia for 25 years. I never wanted to be a boy but I wanted male privilege and to be treated great like my brother. Don’t transition back. Wait for medical break throughs for regenerative medicine that can regenerate your body. Look at the regenerative medicine at the universities. They have been doing this for the veterans in the wounded warriors. I’m working to reconnect with my daughter who transitioned and she was called to be a geneticist. I’m working on reconnecting with her and getting her back on that path. You need loving caring adults and your family to help guide you back on the right path. You are seen and I am seriously concerned about your entire generation that is caught up in this occult. There are loving healthy adults that are fighting for you. I am one of those adults. Hang in there Max and everyone else who is regretting this decision.

You're doing a great job at feeling sorry for yourself. Keep at it, and one day, you may be the best. Every loser has a sob story. They're always the victim. Right now, your story sounds kinda weak, but when you hang out with other losers, you'll pick up some pointers that can make it a real tear jerker. 👍

Hello Max! Did I hear German accent? :) Wäre jetzt unhöflich, hier auf Dt. zu schreiben, oder? Appreciate your courage for this video. First impression: Rocker. ^^ Like others said: you're not ruined in a harsh status. I see a young attractive and likable man with his face up to sunshine. Follow that attitude! Wish you all the best for your recovering! _Wenig Lust auf Bartwuchs und seinem "Schatten" unter der Haut? Epilieren ist nachhaltiger als Rasur. Merklicher Fortschritt nach 3-5 Jahren._

My opinion means nothing, but I hope you come to the realization that you look so handsome as a man with your facial hair. Easy for me to observe and say, but not so easy for you to see within. I hope you keep sharing your videos. Your voice and oration is soothing and you sound so genuine. Glad I happened upon your story and I wish you well on your journey to feeling healthy and energetic again.

Looks like this guy has adam's apple and full beard, and never 'transitioned' into anything. He took hormones for a little while, but still looked like Evan Edinger. Why do people promote this fakery?

I hope you find happyness. thanks for speaking out!

Wait I think I saw you before years ago, you looked gorgeous back then, sorry it was the wrong choice for you

You're describing symptoms of depression, nothing hormone related.

Listen. You are doing AMAZING. If your story helps one person to make a tragic mistake (and this isn't about what is or what is not true or correct, but about protecting people from making mistakes early in life). My story about not knowing what the HELL I knew about myself. I hated my beard so bad in my early 20s. I almost had laser treatment to get rid of it. Now it's the sexist part of me. I would be devastated now if I couldn't grow a stubbly beard. So it shows we can't make decisions based on the future as we lack any wisdom or self awareness. Sending you all the love in the world

Jesus has the best plans for your life. No matter how many mistakes we make, he's always there to help us. Following our own path without him is never great. Talk to him.

Hi Max, just came back to ask how are you? Nothing new since 2 months, bit worried. I'd be happy to see new beautiful views from you🙂

Omfg dude I'm going through it so hard right now. I made the mistake of self therapy and it made me a type one diabetic. My life is on the teeter of break down. I've can't work my relationships with my entire family from my mom to my girlfriend have been affected and still continue to disprove. I've been denied jobs, couldn't even attend my best friend's wedding because he's ashamed of me..... I'm just sitting here balling right now.

Thank you for speaking out. This shit needs to be talked about.. not hidden

Jesus loves you!
