STORYTIME. I have a friend who never wanted kids. Just never did. We’ve known each other since we were teenagers. When she was in college she inquired about getting her tubes tied. No one would do it. She was 22 years old and they said that she may meet a man when she’s older and then regret not being able to have children. She tried again at 26 and no one would do it. So tell me why this grown educated woman wasn’t allowed to make this decision for herself and yet a 12 year old can decide to change their whole gender??

[@poopymaster_kingXxninjaXX69420]

oh its because

[@ИмяФамилия-ф2д8ш]

It's even worse. An educated woman in her 20s knows what to expect from this kind of surgery (or at least knows someone who can educate her on that) but a 12 y.o. doesn't. Teen age is physically, hormonally and emotionally challenging time for people, obviously no one is fully prepared for it! So seeing kids make such a big decision without: 1) Proper education 2) Fully formed brain 3) Emotional and physical stability in their body Makes me fearful of our future...

My moms are gay (my dads a sperm donor). The one who gave birth to me says the SAME thing! When she was in her early 20's, she almost started transitioning. She thought being a straight boy would fix her incredibly low self esteem. She always tells me that once she actually got older, gained more experiences, and started loving and accepting herself as a lesbian, her desire to transition went away.

[@KitKat_293]

i think he's spot on cause i don't think ALL trans people are misguided. there's gotta be some people who it's true for. but too many right now are just gay, gender non conforming and being misguided to think it's not acceptable to just be that. we genuinely need to teach children that there are so many options and identities for them with or without being trans. trans is fine but it's not the only reason for gender dysphoria and there's so many non traditional and binary breaking ways of being cis too. and i'm not sure if young people realize that.

How a person feels, has no bearing on reality.

When I was 12 I experienced an attempted rape from a class mate. After that horrible experience I was scared of men, and I did everything possible to my feminine figure disappear. I acted as boyish as possible, used baggy clothes, cut my hair short. Avoided everything feminine out of fear. I just wanted to be a man, so that unwanted attention from boys and men wouldn't come my way. I would have been called a trans in modern days...and it is scary! I was just a girl afraid of being a girl. As the years passed, all that went away, and I'm a woman living with my husband, and happy to be a woman. I might still prefer to do masculine things and dress more masculine from time to time, but def I am not trans.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Who are they? These detransitioners have realised they have made a mistake and hold their hands up to it. The brainwashing is starting from when kids are very young in school. It’s all over social media and in educational and workplace establishments. It pervasive throughout western society. So no they are not being hypocritical, they have been misinformed, lied to, brainwashed and tricked. In some cases it’s the parents pushing it on their small children. especially trans Munchausen mothers, who view their trans kids as status symbol type pets. Like Jazz Jennings parents. And life long medical patients are incredibly profitable, so the pharmas push it with all their might

The last guy, Shapeshifter, did an interview with Blaire White where he said if someone had just told him that no amount of surgeries would ever make him a real woman, he would have never transitioned and lived as an effeminate gay man. These people are being led to believe that they can legitimate change sex which is not and has never been the case, but obviously a child (or person getting all their info from Tik Tok) would not understand that. Looking like a woman will not make you a woman. That's why it's so important to highlight detransitioners. Because a lot of these kids are just androgynous but think they're the wrong gender for being tomboys or femboys. There's nothing wrong with being a feminine man or tomboyish woman.

[@Ovahlls]

Seriously. I'm a femboy myself, and I'm quite young (18). There were times in my life where I felt like I was trans. I literally BELIEVED that if I were trans, all of my issues would just disappear into thin air. All of my internalized homophobia and hatred for myself would just magically go away... when in reality, it never would've. I am so glad I never went down the route of transitioning, and I've never felt better living as a very openly and effeminate gay man. I got therapy, I touched grass, and now I'm doing shit I would've never dreamed I'd be doing just 4 years ago when I genuinely considered transitioning. Not just aesthetic transitioning, either, I was gonna go full boar, balls to the wall, pedal to the metal. I'm talking the whole combo deal. I was gonna get all the surgeries I possibly could. And then one day I realized therapy would be a good avenue before going absolutely nuts and destroying my body. And I've never felt better than I feel today.

​@@fastinradfordableI'm not sure who you mean by "It's Never their fault?" but if you mean the person that transitioned then no. If you transitioned at a young age (and I do not think 18 year olds are magically wiser and more experienced than kids that are 16 or 17) then no, it's not your fault. That's why we have adults (30 and up) to tell teens and young adults (you are not truly grown up until your late twenties, 18 is an urbitrary number not at all reflecting reality) that they are being unreasonable. There are certain things young people must be prevented from (such as drugs and permanent decisions) because they simply do not understand the true meaning of no return or permanent. They simply don't. They have no experience whatsoever, but are impulsive and head strong. This should be regulated by adults. Which hasn't happened. Mature doctors should have put a stop to young people getting these permanent procedures. Young people are being denied to get sterilised all the time, because it is not a wise choice at a young age. Same should go for this transgender issue. But it's not happening. So no, it's not their fault.

Good luck! I believe gender dysphoria exists, but first learn to love yourself and know that anxiety is a thing, I was so insecure in myself when I was younger.

I still don’t fit in with the stereotypical women, but that’s ok. I have found out if gender is a spectrum, I am my own version of femininity. And that’s ok.

If the doctor willfully denied pertinent information, then he needs to be reported. Some doctors are quacks, some are greedy, some are just dumb, and some are straight up shitty. That doesn't mean you demonize the practice of medicine itself. Having a bad experience or an unexpected outcome is the result of human fallibility. Medicine is never gonna be concrete. It's forever expanding and changing because life is forever changing. I don't get the connection between shitty doctor and negating trans medical science. Some kids have terrible teachers. Do we shut down the school system? Of course not! All surgery is a risk and all surgery has potential to become fatal. Any doctor who downplays that needs to be investigated and have their license taken if necessary. Surgery has existed for millenia and trans surgeries are not a new thing in which each procedure is an "experiment." What surgeon is going in to the operating room to perform unprecedented, unpracticed incisions? The idea is ridiculous. And, I don't believe it is common for doctors to encourage surgery, to not divulge all possibilities and risks, or to otherwise ignore their hippacratic oath. I know some do because some people suck. But to suggest that these folks are being experimented on is simply false.

@@lollove9974 If I may add, it is not unusual to feel that way. Every time you look at yourself in the mirror, it looks wrong, yeah, but that is part of 'transitioning' from a child to an adult. I know this because it was how I felt as well. I don't know how old you are but if you are at an age where things are changing drastically like that, it will not look right because change is hard. But the last thing you want to do is to make a rash decision whether you have the means to or not. It's unfortunate that your parents don't listen, and likely, we won't be able to help much either. But if you can, please consider this, how you feel now may not be how you feel years down the line, but the first step is to just wait it out and see, because as a young person, you do not know or understand everything right away, that is the process of growth.

Many parents never have that conversation with their children, and they should. Not just "pubery happens" at a physical level, but "how to work through the emotional and mental affects OF puberty and the body changing". Even, "how long might this take". Set the expectations, educate, support them through it. So many kids are wanting to transition simply because puberty (as a transition) is uncomfortable and they want to go "back to something that feels normal".

When you have school staff also involved, well... you can guess why they said the number of trans people is on the rise. They're not on the rise... it's just the number of people who identify that they are is on the rise, not that they "are" really.

[@mnguardianfan7128]

The whole process should be private. All of this should be between the child, parents, personal advisors, and doctors. My personal opinion is that since the National Academy of Pediatrics recommends that bottom surgery should be after 18, I would be OK with making that law. But it should also be noted that the number of people who have bottom surgery and regret it, is less than people who have major surgery to decrease weight.

[@DoctorGrove]

@@mnguardianfan7128 That feels like a mega apples to oranges comparison. The number of people who get bottom surgery is incredibly less than the broad category of "major surgery to decrease weight." I'd honestly need to see the data and how that comparison is made. Further, post-surgery trans individuals have a "honeymoon" period, usually followed by a significant decrease in well-being. The data on the trans community is that most of them are not dysphoric, and have another underlying mental health condition they are TOLD is solvable through transitioning. That is the definition of unethical. However, I agree that once you're a legal adult, you can do as you please, but there also needs to be more discussion and explanation by doctors and psychologists/therapists about the risks of transition surgeries. There is a clear lack of information leading to people choosing surgery without enough information to really consent to care. If you got in for an orthopedic surgery they roll out a ton of information about the procedure, risks, benefits, care, recovery time, and so on. The transition craze is literal cart before horse for so many people. I honestly think transitioning children and young adults will be looked back on as being this generation's "lobotomy."

@@mnguardianfan7128 Yes, and no. I'm not sure why your focus is on bottom surgery, as anything done for transitioning under 18 should be illegal; top, bottom, meds, the whole deal. Further, 18 is likely too low given what we know of human personality and brain development. The age of 18 as an adult is relatively arbitrary. You don't suddenly become an adult at 18, it's simply a legal gateway. Specifically, transitioning needs a complete overhaul in its current state. The process to receiving meds/surgery should be months to years in the making, simply because the ability to reverse the procedure is either difficult or impossible. There are serious consequences here. There are tons of website, with thousands of people on them, all lamenting their transition, including adult transitions. Again, MOST people who want the surgeries end up realizing their mental health issue was something other than dysphoria, such as depression, trauma, anxiety, and so on. Minors are just getting drugs because they tell a clinician/doctor, "I'm trans." It's a serious problem.

@@DoctorGrove I am focusing on bottom surgery because that is the only transition action that is, in my mind irreversible. I would be OK with making that illegal. I think you are jumping the gun on brain development age argument. There are much much larger societal implications of this that need to be worked out first. Don't think singling out trans people for this societal change is fair. Besides, it isn't just the child. It is the child, their parents, often there are other personal advisors, and the medical community (who definitively have fully developed brains). ' Minors are just getting drugs because they tell a clinician/doctor, "I'm trans." ' - That is the messaging from many conservatives. This just is NOT true. There is an (often) years long process in order to get there. At a minimum, medical professions look for three things from kids -Are they Persistent? - Is this a continual and repeated thing that they emphasize -Are the Consistent? - Does their story change over time? -Are they Insistent? - Do they put a serious effort in this messaging. Also, it must be clear. There are 73M children in the US. Only around 5000 are on hormone blockers. That's it. This isn't the horrible societal scourge that it is being painted out to be.

I’m a detransitioner (born female, transitioned to male, got help and detransitioned back to female) I’d like to shed light on this; I first found out about being transgender by watching this KZbinr who announced their transition (I was like 13 at the time), and how they never felt like a girl and now they do x y, and z It’s not that I didn’t feel like a girl, but I was facing issues with myself because of a SA incident that happened. So I immediately thought “omg I don’t have to be a girl!”. So I started googling info and talked to people who have done it, and they were eager to help me transition. Not one of them told me to wait or to think about it, they were very eager. Knowing my mom, I waited till I was 18 to start taking hormones, but thankfully due to me having a needle phobia, I was not consistent with taking hormones. The clinic I went to didn’t care about your mental health, their therapist to talk to you before they give you the okay for chest surgery does not give a damn about your depression. It’s a clinic with the sole purpose to get people to transition. I tried to talk about my transition, the therapist told me she’ll start trauma therapy and never did, but she was quick to sign off the referral for surgery. I did the surgery and I woke up not happy. I wasn’t excited. Didn’t celebrate. None of that. I really self reflected and decided to get a therapist OUTSIDE of the clinic and not talk to the trans support groups about it. Long story short I worked out my past issues, I immediately stopped hormones, (I didn’t mind all too well about the chest surgery because breast cancer is pretty prone in my family), and I look like I never transitioned. Thankfully for me not being consistent my voice never really changed, nor did I gain facial hair like that. After I detransitioned , the people I thought were my friends cut me off immediately. I even had a couple get mad at me for being a detransitioner. That’s when I really started looking at the transgender community a whole lot different. Hostility, anger, almost cult like. So yeah, they try to silence us detranstiotioners

"Hardware fix for software issues" is the best description of all these atrocities. I can tell you that all of us can face identity and sexuality crisis going through puberty, it`s a hard but necessary part of our mental and physical growth, we go through this to find ourselves, to see our essence, to understand who we are. And no one has any right to block this or stop this. I`m a 40-y.o. woman now and I remember how uncomfortable I felt when my puberty came. I was taught about all changes what awaited me when I start having periods but for quite a while I hated those changes. I felt very uneasy with my growing breasts, I didn`t like the attention from boys, I wanted to make myself as unattractive as I could, even though I longed for a serious relationship. I won`t even try to imagine what would`ve happened to me if I grew up in nowadays countries who support so-called "gender-affirming care", what if I told my mom I didn`t like my femininity. God bless these people who spoke in this video. This IS an issue. And it has to be spoken of. Thank you, Amir, for doing this job for everyone. Lots of love from Russia.

[@cletuszoidberg2843]

As a girl who’s 18. Yes oh my god it’s literally ingrained into us to not like our bodies through puberty. I got large breast and hips and I played a lot of sport so I hated them. Girls were smaller in places, bigger in places and it hurts every girl. Literally every girl hates themselfs during puberty. Especially because I hit it quite young when I was 8-9. I was a Tom boy, literally used to call myself that. I am so masculine dressing but never have I ever thought I was a man. I was a girl, I’m a women. I am a female that likes male and it’s ok. I still watch football with my dad every week, it doesn’t make me less female. The sport thing made it a lot worse because clothes don’t fit properly when you have breasts and hips, especially as a young tween. So clothes look weird on you because unlike WOMENS clothes they don’t have extra fabric and aren’t shaped to fit women. So we all get self conscious. Especially because I am chubby. Not plus size just a bit chubby and that always fucked me me too. But I’m stillllll aaaaasss girlllllllllllll. Literally every girl I know hates our bodies. To this day. We still find things that we hate. And also girls are bullied for hitting puberty aswell, for example if you have smaller breasts some men will make comments about it. It just means you have a small chest. It just thibgs we don’t like about ourselves. I hate the stretch marks on my hips but I’m not going to become a man.

It’s literally the female-coded experience. One day your vagina starts bleeding and it scares the fuck out of you real quick. It can be traumatizing. Same with boys and their awkward boners.

No one could prepare me for the tone shift of going from "one of the boys" to suddenly, I'm a girl. My male friends started to look at me differently, treat me differently (no one wanted to rough house with me anymore because my body was changing.) the sudden attractiveness of my boy best friend. I was so confused and had I grown up in today's environment, I would have absolutely thought I was trans. I'm so glad I didn't because I'm 34 now and fully embrace my femininity. My experience isn't unique. So many girls are being brainwashed in their vulnerability and it breaks my heart. I'm sure it's not any easier for the opposite sex too.

[@ashcarri]

I was 26 when I talked to a therapist about transitioning. Keep in mind, this was 13 years ago before transgender was even a term the public knew about. I was so sure that my depression came from my insecurities of my gender. I gave my therapist all the talking points to make it seem like this is what would help me. I tricked myself into thinking this would cure my depression. They went ahead and prescribed the HRT. I spent two years living as a woman and finalized it all with SRS. About six months after that, I knew I made a grave mistake. I received a good 6" of depth to my vaginal canal and sex still felt good. Despite that, my drive for sex was in decline until it became non-existent. By not practicing in sex any more, eventually my canal collapsed and I am down to 1" of depth. Even if I wanted to have sex, I cannot have penetrative sex and there's no fix for it. That's just the surface level problems I now face in my day to day life. No matter which scope you want to look at it, I will always be misgendered. Whether you accept my decision to become a woman and call me ma'am or accept that I was a troubled man and call me sir. I am now simultaneously neither one or the other. I can't go back. The damage is done. I will forever have to pretend that I am a woman. It's a good thing I'm a convincing liar. Looking back and giving myself time to reflect, my depression was definitely issues with things that were completely unrelated to gender dysphoria. If any of the two therapists I had seen would have pushed harder on the topics elsewhere that I was struggling with I'm sure they would have realized if we had fixed those, I would have been a perfectly happy man and moved on with my life. I cannot decide to detransition. I'll never be a normal male again. So I'll continue living as a woman with buyer's remorse. Realizing I will probably be single for the rest of my life and never get to truly have a normal life.

Then after summer vacation I meet them again in college and it turns out they have changed genders in those two months. They are on some heavy stuff that makes their hair thin a lot and they will most likely have descending hairline in their late 20s. They recieved meds so fast and with no deep therapy it's concerning. I assume they are alright with it or at last they think it's worth it. The whole trans group is keeping each other in check to act correct with the agenda and they are making weird comments on the evil cis people.

My puberty was horrible. Me growing up, becoming a woman, was incredibly painful. My first periods were unbevably painful. I bleed like mad and I felt weak and lost a lot. I was depressed and anxious all the time and I am honest, I hated my body. I hated everything about it and being a woman. My breasts growing were painful, especially since they grew too fast and too big. I couldn't run anymore, had to give up my hobbies. And often I doubted if I was meant to be a woman. Had I been born later, I freeze with fear what gender affirming care would have done to me. Because I am a woman. What I hated during puberty wasn't being a woman, it was the physical pain and the difficulties growing up in a society that tried to press me into gender stereotypes that didn't fit, making demands that I couldn't fulfil. But a transition wouldn't have helped me, because it wasn't gender dysphoria, it was hormonal imbalance, unfiagnosed asthma, fist symptoms of lipidoedema and juvenile rheuma and the feeling of inferiority due to the harsh judgement from others. None of that would have gone away if I had transitioned, even worse, it would have added problems that would have made my life a living hell. And lots of it went away when pubetry ended. What helped me tremendously was my mom being there for me and assuring me that I wasn't 'wrong' and telling me I was okay the way I was. Helping me through the pain with love and comfort. My diverse heath issues weren't diagnosed until I was 40. Simply because medical professionals tend to invalidate female needs and putting all under the umbrella of weight and period cramps. That too can't be helped by transitioning.

@@amirxodom I've seen some interesting convo about Trans people getting their surgeries paid for by the Gov. due to enlisting in service AND Trans people with male parts in All Female Prisons and the baby boom happening over the last few years! Both would be amazing to hear your point of view.

I am a teen and girl. I am honestly grateful that you made this videos and am grateful to creators like you. I did not know things like these. For few years now i am aware of lgbt community and support them ofc. Sometimes i get involved so much that i start forgetting who i was. Ofc its my fault and not theirs but i realised that you become the content you consume at my age. Videos like these makes me realise that supporting people and becoming like them are two different things. And the topics you covered spread great awareness. Love your video and thanks again

You're so smart to have realized this!

[@Inday_Yawa]

To that lady at 12:40 you can also ask the same thing to her, "do transitioners realize that they can transition privately instead of being clout chasers over the internet indoctrinating children on why they should transition from one gender to another?"

Voices like yours, amir, are absolutely needed, im so glad your making content like this, you may be the only person on youtube or social media that actually reflects what i think, so voices like yours are needed desperately

"Putting a band aid on an identity crisis"!! That sums up the situation perfectly and is exactly what it is . I couldn't have said it better.

[@Crowfeather-lq4nd]

I am a social detransitioner. Hearing these stories make me know how lucky I am. If my parents were more liberal, who knows where i would be today. Though my mental health was pretty trashy when i was in my Trans period, I am so glad i was able to get through it and drastically improve my mental health on the other side. The worst part about the current state of the Trans community is that they often promise that transitioning is the answer to what your going through, which if you think about it, is messed up to tell a confused child. Of course, I don't think trans people are bad, but the community itself is getting a bit out of control

[@Crowfeather-lq4nd]

​@LOVE-510 Yeah, feel free to ask anything! I think there are two main reasons: Simply being a more masculine female, and me having autism. First one: I have always been a bit of a tomboy. I prefer stereotypically masculine things over stereotypically feminine things. I think if i didn't know what being trans was at the time, then I would be in my "Not like other girls" phase. Second one: During my Trans period, i did not know I had autism. It's likely you have heard of connections between autistic people thinking they're trans. This is usually because undiagnosed autsitic people like i was often feel different from their peers. In fact, when my autistic uncle (who also didn't get a diagnosis till later in life) was my age, felt like he was a girl (and this is long before being transgender was commonly known). I learned to be comfortable in my own skin shortly before I was diagnosed with autism. By then, I was getting much better mental health support, was researching more about autism, and just getting off the internet. It probably took one or two months to go from "This is me, I am a man 100%" to "I'm actually just a masculine woman and that's okay. Sorry for the lengthy answer but I hope this interests you! And if you want further explanations or have more questions about anything then feel free to ask.

A bit. Them and the liberal party are toxic and they are bringing the gay community into it

[@Crowfeather-lq4nd]

​@LOVE-510 I'm glad you found my answer informative! And I will answer your questions the best i can. I do think that telling kids they can just change things about themselves because they feel like it can be harmful. For instance, when i was younger, i really wanted curly hair. If someone said to me "You can get your hair curled, but it will always be straight, and it's beautiful the way it is" then child-me may be upset for a little while, but it's better then the contrary of "Yes! You may not have curly hair on the outside, but internally, you really do!" which would just confuse me. Especially if i was being adorned with constant praise and admiration from my parents and other adults i look up to, then i might have been pressured to curl my hair more even if i wanted to have it straight again. Of course, I'm comparing a child wanting different hair texture to a teen having an identity crisis, so take this with a massive grain of salt. It's just the only way i could think of explaining my thoughts on this Do i think it's important for kids to learn it's okay to be more masculine/feminine even if it contrasts your gender? YES. in fact, i think the lack of this might be another factor that led me to thinking i was trans in the first place. My mother always wanted a girl. Though, she had two sons before she had me, so when she had me, she would have me wear very feminine clothing, bought me feminine toys, etc. This led to me feeling discouraged to express my more masculine interests. Because I wasn't interested in the cutesy pink stuff that my mother wanted me to. But at the same time, I think their should be mild differences in how the different genders should are raised, seeing that there are neurological ways the two sexes are different. An example being, when i am stressed about school, i will often respond in crying, whilst my brother will respond in yelling and anger. Of course, this DOESN'T apply to everyone but it's the first example i thought of. And for your third question, I do think neurodivergent people are often taken advantage of, but indirectly. Far left people tend to be very accepting, which is magnifying for young neurodivergents because of we often have more difficulties fitting in and gaining acceptance from peers. A mix of (as I mentioned in my last comment) neurodivergent people feeling different from their peers and the accepting nature of the left (especially towards LGBTQ+ people) might subconsciously push someone to thinking their trans. Though i don't think the left are purposely targeting neurodivergent kids, it's just easier for us to fall into this mindset because of the factors i mentioned above. Once again, sorry for the long read and I hope this interests you! :)

[@jessicadesrosiers7467]

Thank you both for this beautiful dialog. I love your point a view and to me it hold more weight since you lived it. You are both eloquent and your thoughts and questions well thought out. I feel it's so fair to see such open dialog on the internet these days and it's such a breath of fresh air. Your responses were exactly what I have been thinking myself but having never lived through the situation it's all just theory, it was interesting to read your story and have it echo my own thoughts. Thank you both for being so open and respectful of each other. If more people could converse like this we wouldn't be in the situation we are now with the US vs them mentality. I know you guys believe the same things but the conversation was just so perfect and exactly how ALL internet discussions should be had I just wanted to thank you.

[@TechnoScorpion2137]

Yooooooo same story for me. Undiagnosed tomboyish female. I socially transitioned for 6-7 years and when I finally felt comfortable in myself, accepted my homosexualism and got autism diagnosis I detransitioned. I lost all my friends and got lots of enemies, they were saying that I am dangerous for the trans community and I showed disrespect and I should transition anyway "to maks things right". Creepy times. Now I'm your average chapstick lesbian, living with a girl for 3+ years.

[@rattlethatanimation]

Currently working on a storytime video for my own detransition. My main advice is to not buy too much into stereotypes and avoid medicalizing yourself for aesthetic reasons. Gender dysphoria is real but i hate that medicalization is seen as the only cure because it didn't cure mine as I could never become biologically male and being considered trans in itself gave me dysphoria. Accepting myself as a masculine woman and realizing theres nothing wrong with my healthy body allowed me to detransition and no longer feel the need to become a man. Also it cant be understated the amount of stress that worrying about passing or being outed can cause you if youre attempting to become "stealth trans"

[@namo8082]

respectfully but stealthing is r*pe if u sleep with someone w/o disclosing

[@honey3762]

Yes! I completely agree about the stereotypes! People equate being a woman to heels, nails and makeup but it’s not that. Being a man isn’t liking video games or liking women! I wish people cared more about being an individual than having to fit into a mold

[@qwq203]

I medically couldn't have kids and wanted to get a hysterectomy after a third diagnosis. I was in my early 20's. I was told "no," that they may have future medical breakthroughs in the future. I finally got one at 50. My Dr. asked me why I waited so long.....stating that he would have done it then, seeing it caused so many more health issues. Yet a 12yr old can have this surgery......

[@lytsedraak]

I read this so often, women can't get the hysterectomy they want/need, but trans people can get it no questions asked. It's messed up.

[@thetwotasksgirl1535]

Imagine being trapped in a body you didn’t ask for as a person who was raised as ‘trans’ by their parents and living with their life-changing decisions that you couldn’t consent to and now you can’t erase because it’s gone too far, been too altering. Sounds far more terrifying than being told your minor child can’t chop off their boobs or penis.

“One is Enough” absolutely true. I am happy For all the trans adults who love their transition, but for the one child who then grows up and realises they made a mistake, there needs to be regulation. Children should be protected.

[@rinoamenna]

As someone who is trans I am so glad my parents & family pushed back & made me really question starting HRT & any surgeries. you don't need to permanently alter yourself nor affect your health for the rest of your life to be happy or trans. You can be a tomboy or a feminine boy who cares but pushing on children they should do permanent life altering decisions before they are even out of high school is so sad. I get it does work for some people which is great but the thought that you can do that & reverse it is so false. I am also so glad the doctor i went too was very honest with the lifelong side affects & problems & not sugar coating anything.
