13 Year Old DETRANS Kid : “My Teacher Pressured Me To Stay TRANS.”

[@alli6791]

Having the parent there while interviewing the child and blurring her out, this is one of the reasons I respect Arielle, she protects kids.

[@OfTheSeaKND]

Exactly this! Meanwhile other parents are dressing their 5 year olds as the opposite gender so that they can film it and put it on the internet claiming it’s their child’s identity. Not even giving the child a chance to figure it out for themselves, and those videos could really embarrass these children when they get older. 😢

I am so glad to be Gen-x and to have grown up when I did. I was a huge tomboy. I hated everything about being a girl that other girls loved. I didn't like dresses, makeup, bras, heels, nail polish, none of it. Even my own mother used to say that I should've been born a boy. I felt so out of place with the other girls. When I hit puberty, it became worse because I developed early, and that got me attention from the boys that I didn't want. Now, I'm glad to be a woman. I grew up and realized that having masculine traits and interests does not make you a boy, just like a guy having feminine traits and interests does not make him a girl. This stuff scares me because I know how suseptible I would've been to it as a kid. I know there's some kid out there right now who is just like how I was, and I don't want them to be misled. I want them to accept themselves for who they are. No one is born having it all figured out. Most of us adults don't truly know who we are till we're in our 30s. I wish these kids would just slow down. A child should never be making irreversible decisions.

[@dinosaurwoman]

I am the same as you, a GenXer who didn't like girly stuff unless it was nerdy or animals, like She-Ra and My Little Pony. I also developed early and was picked on because of it. I probably would've thought I was a boy if I had been a kid nowadays.

One statement can wrap this whole conversation up: "People don't dislike you because you're trans..... you're trans because people dislike you." This is what creates the illusion of the former. It's subconciously deliberate and a defense mechanism. They can't just be disliked, so they find a way to be disliked for something OTHER than their unlikeable disposition. Which is a creative little way of forcing you to accept them and their weird personalities... It's why we constantly hear "transphobia" and "homophobia"... even if they feel "attacked" for something completely unrelated to their trans identity. I think a part of them needs to be disliked for their transness, and that's what makes them so passionate about it... it's so much easier to believe this reality, so they do. To find a way to believe that everyone would like you... simply if you werent trans would be such a relief. There will never be a time that they WON'T feel opressed because they need to feel "hated" for this mindset to work. Now it's no longer their problem, it's yours. Funny how that works. 🙄 (This is for the trenders... not real trans people btw...)

I (presumably adhd and on the list for autism testing) was always "normal" enough (didn't talk or look weird) to fit in at the start but soon I would become ostrasized bc of my "weirdness" - which was my intense interest in horses (like...scientifically as well). I just walked to school and drew horses or had a horse sweater on. I was an 11 year old girl. I never bothered anyone with it. boy I tell you I got BUTCHERED only for that. And then more things, like I didn't speak with a dialect, I looked pretty childish while the girls started to look more teen, I had no interest in twilight and I hit back when people started attacking me. I got my first de*th threat at 12yo. No wonder I was socially awkward, and I sometimes wonder whether I'd be some fantasy creation nowadays as well.

I knew this guy who is clearly on the spectrum (undiagnosed) who found an unsuspecting younger woman to care for him immediately after his mother died. After 13 years of marriage during which he never held down a job and bounced from one obsession to the next he decided he was trans. He no longer had to be a middle aged loser white guy without any oppression points…now he had a victim category. When he “came out” to his wife (during their anniversary dinner!) her honest reaction was “And how much is THIS going to cost!?!). She finally divorced him which allowed him to run around town telling anyone who would listen that his wife was divorcing him because he’s trans (not because he was a loser deadbeat.)

One of the most common co-morbidities is OCD. Which makes so much sense. But OCD is portrayed on tv as needing to wash your hands repeatedly or the rituals like needing to lock the door a specific way. But it’s really about intrusive thoughts so it makes a lot of sense for these to go together. And if a therapist is treating someone for both conditions and not considering the gender dysphoric thoughts as intrusive and part of OCD, they are doing so much damage to that patient.

[@youtubeposter3814]

I hate the whole “If you’re always questioning if you’re trans, you probably are!” because T-OCD (transgender OCD) is the constant and intensely unnerving preoccupation with wondering if you are trans.

OCD is much more likely to be present when other disorders are present such as bipolar disorder, borderline PD, OCD disorders (ex. excoriation disorder), Major Depression, and Anxiety disorders.

Intrusive Thought Disorder OCD is brutal. It can literally make you convince yourself of anything - that you're possessed, evil, will "lose control" & do "something bad." (You won't). It will convince you of whatever will make you most miserable, in my experience. So most people don't share their intrusive thoughts, even with therapists, as they tend to be incredibly disturbing. So if these people have more intrusive thoughts, they likely aren't sharing, so the therapists just think trans.

It's been used for years on cisgender kids who start puberty too early to slow it down to an age closer to where it should be to not develop too early. It's other medical reasons to use it too.

As a mom and an elementary school teacher, I am horrified. Teachers should have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with their students’ gender identity, sexual preference, or anything else in that realm. When my 6th grade students started asking me about my sexual preferences, like they were asking about the weather, I was done - and moved to a lower grade level. Not out of judgment, but as a way to protect myself from potential problems/accusations/lawsuits. Lord knows teachers can barely afford rent. Being sued would mean the end of everything. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not opposed to freedom of choice or freedom of expression, or anything else in that area. HOWEVER, until a child is 18, that is a road only to be traveled by the parents!

He was a known liar and attentionwhore and even made his coming out in a tv documentary on national tv. No one bought it and even to this day, after both silicone implants, hormones and bottom surgery, no one calls him 'she'. Because he is a man that chose to do this for attention.

Okay, I had to comment in the middle of the video. When that Kid start talking about TikTok I got flash back. truth is, I am actually a black woman. Years ago, when I was younger, I installed TikTok because I wanted to follow my favorite creators from the Caribbean. It was something I can relate to and it was funny. But after scrolling through just comedy about my black/caribbean culture, suddenly I was shown videos of Black individuals from the U.S. COMPLAINING ABOUT RACE. At first I was confused, so I ignored those videos and continued to heart/like the playful funny videos in the hope the system would see that I like to engage with funny videos from the Caribbean. But I still continued to get videos about Hating WHITE people. All of these were not related to me in the slightest. I am not from the U.S., but I am aware of the race politics. All I knew is started to put two and two together. Tiktok for some odd reason knows I am a black individual but continues to feed my videos of racism. These videos were literally saying why we should hate white folks, why we should stick together, why we should change the system, and as a young BLACK woman, I am sitting in my country jamaica wondering WHY WHY WHY TIKTOK wants to FEED me this garbage. I SHOWED ZERO INTEREST in watching these videos. ZERO. After that, I uninstalled the app. I was convinced that TIKTOK wants to push ideas upon me. Because how can a system after liking the 100th video about Caribbean tiktokers with ZERO racism in ANY of their skits because its about US Caribbean folks still think I want to listen to some black American woman telling me how much she hates her college because most people there are WHITE.

When I was a teenager, I started reading a lot of YA literature that talked about lgbt issues. It's entirely possible that my sexuality was affected by this literature, and while I'm comfortable with that part of myself, I'm also concerned that a lot of the pop culture kids get their hands on may affect their sexuality and their gender identity. As Arielle and the girl she interviewed said, there's pressure and a power dynamic in schools and other institutions to transition kids as young as possible. Those in power are preying on the most vulnerable and impressionable and projecting how they see themselves onto kids.

Nobody likes going through puberty but sadly instead of telling kids it’ll get better in a few years and your body naturally goes through changes so you can grow and mature, they’re being encouraged by the adults in their lives to forever alter and damage their bodies. What really sucks is young people want to ‘identify’ as 🏳️‍🌈 because they see it as a cool kids club and don’t recognise the actual battles we’ve had to endure for basic equal rights, how for us ‘old’ 🏳️‍🌈 it was about finding people like ourselves with similar lived experiences who would understand what oppression we’d faced. It was NEVER a cool kids club, but that’s how a lot of young people today see it as, and it’s just rage inducing honestly. Also I went through puberty at a young age way before my friends (I think 7 I was developing breasts, menstruation started at 8), I hated the experience but understood the way older men stared at me was never my fault, that they were sick to see a literal child in that manner (I’m autistic, maybe why I had that view when young), the good part about young puberty for me was being able to be there for my female friends when they developed, I finally had someone to talk to and they had someone to support them as they went through those struggles, I ended up being the defacto ‘mom’ for the girls in my year because they knew I offered support and never judgment, where I’d happily ask embarrassing questions, go to the nurses office for sanitary products, or go to the bathrooms and hang out whilst they de-stressed. Nobody enjoys puberty, but it’s so vital to growing up healthy!!!

How to fix this is to go back to how transitioning was done in the 70s and 80s. I remember reading that the person transitioning was being seen by a psychiatrist and had to live that life 100%, everyday all day for one year before they were even referred to a surgeon. To me this is medical malpractice! And not one of those stories involved children!

[@estreetangel]

Yes, I remember it was treated as a very serious subject and patients had to go through a lot to prove to the doctors and themselves that transitioning was the right thing to do. I remember back then plastic surgeons would test patients to be sure they knew the consequences of a boob job or a face lift and that they knew it wasn't a magic wand that would make their lives perfect. Now it seems like any kind of body/face-modifying surgery is just as casually done as getting a haircut.

I like your distinguishing between the three causes, sexual trauma, mental illness and true dysphoria. Each should have different treatment protocols. But one other helpful thing is to recognize the influence of Marxist revolutionaries on society. They care nothing for young people in trauma. What they see is that as long as capitalism creates wealth and choices and comfortable lifestyles, they will never be able to sell their socialist utopian schemes. So they have to tear down society before they can swoop in with their authoritarian solutions. They work to break down the gender binary, the patriarchical family, meritocracy, competition, and the free market system to this end. I'm happy if adults with real gender dysphoria want to transition. Especially if I am not forced to pay for it. But promoting transitioning to kids who don't need it is seriously a human rights violation.

Hi Arielle, thank you for this video! As an aspiring educator, I’ve observed firsthand how some teachers approach topics of gender identity with their students. During one of my observation sessions, I saw a middle school English teacher respond to a student saying, “I think I might be nonbinary,” by affirming them and asking for their pronouns. While I believe it's important for teachers to create a supportive environment for all students, I also feel it’s crucial that we don't push any particular ideology onto young minds. In my future role, I hope to approach this topic with balance and sensitivity, ensuring that all students feel respected without promoting any one viewpoint. There are educators out there who share a more conservative approach (like myself) and are working to maintain a more neutral stance on these issues! Thank you for sharing the girl’s story!

Thank you for your articulate video. There is a saying: "There are no failures, only feedback." Generally, this adage reframes mistakes to learning lessons. When it comes to chemically and surgically altering the body and, subsequently, life ever after, that's a horrendous lesson for anyone to suffer. Suicide rates for young people, especially females, has sky-rocketed following covid. If the energy being spent promoting trans ideology was directed toward improving mental health resources for kids, perhaps there would be different, better results. We try to protect children in many ways - child proof prescription bottles, safety standards for car seats and mini-blinds, non-toxic paint, minimum age laws about sales of tobacco, alcohol, tattooing, and R-rated video games, driving a vehicle, etc... This is because a child's brain is not fully developed, specifically the prefrontal cortex where risk assessment and advanced cognitive processing occurs. Kids (includes teens) NEED adults to protect them. Where are the guardians of the children in our culture?

Trying to find a "Fix" in this matter comes with learning the basics in biology and human development and then having a conversation with an individual that needs to be tailored made to them. Look up Erickson's psychosocial stages, from 12 to 18 people go through identity versus confusion where do I fit in? I've figured out some things I'm good at but how do I use these to interact in a group and make friends or relationships?. There is a lot of hit and miss during this time where we mess up but if we go through the stage well enough we come out with a bit of fidelity and the beginning of our authentic self. We can be easily influenced during this time, did we forget Peer Group pressure is still a thing? Think about all those little niches in high school, the goths, the nerds/geeks, jocks etc. This is the basics now add all this stuff on the top along with people overthinking the welfare of children and their "happiness" Choosing freedom over safety is something that should be reserved for adults who have figured enough of themselves out to not cause terrible damage to themselves.

There came a phase where I thought I was trans for a while. I also have severe body dysmorphia and hated my body, I thought I wasn't "pretty enough" to be a woman. I have autism and felt like I didn't "fit in" with other women. And I ALSO have borderline personality disorder, which that alone caused severe shifts in identity.
