Hi Buck I'd love to do a interview with you on KZbin livestream ❤ over this biological male who identifies as " non binary" once he told me " I'm a woman now called me Skylar" he SA me while he was cheating on his "girlfriend" who has a intellectual disability.. his excuse was " oh I'm aromatic" he groomed me 😢 On my 19th birthday he kept buying me shots of Vodka then we kissed and he brought me to unisex bathrooms

[@SarahtheAutisticCartoongeek]

And we made out ,,, eventually when I was in college he begged me to have $€x with me in the disabled bathrooms TWICE now he trying to SA my best friend she only just turned 18 he said when he was an adult and she was only 16 " Hi I have a crush on you " he a midget with a 12 year old body it was awful I felt transphobic over hating him

What pisses me off is a woman who is in a severe situation and wants a hysterectomy but the drs won’t give one cause she’s not over 35 but these kids are getting them when they’re 16 or 18!!! That’s just nuts

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Theres a reason doctors balk at early hysterectomy, mainly the cessation of oestrogen production which means instant menopause, which, if you are not aware, is the harbinger of osteoporosis, psychological problems and a host of other conditions not least vaginal atrophy which I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy.

[@Blueell]

@@AnneAndersonFoxiepawsthat’s only if you have your ovaries removed, which you don’t necessarily have to depending on what is wrong. I have endometriosis and want a hysterectomy, but I am not letting my ovaries go unless something like a cyst rupture happens and they have to be removed to save my life. I am not allowed to take estrogen due to it raising my clotting factor so I’d be in a real mess and I agree with the doctors we shouldn’t do that.

[@amyme4066]

​@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws yes but they did say in a severe situation. Endometriosis is awful, every one of my internal reproductive organs is coated in webs of scar tissue. The pain is unbearable when I'm on and barely bearable when I'm not. I was refused over and over again when younger and now I'm "too old and not in the right weight range" but can't exercise because of other health conditions so am stuck until I have menopause. Osteoporosis has treatments that can be given to compensate for the lack of hormones too, they aren't particularly pleasant but better than severe endometriosis. There are ways around most of the side effects of having a hysterectomy and women in my position would happily jump at them. Either they need to get better at treating the underlying conditions that cause women to ask for hysterectomy or should stop policing the best current remedy available which is a hysterectomy. Even having tubes tied for women with early stage endo can massively help with symptoms and is reversible so why not do that.

I think a lot of people especially young folks are getting body dysmorphia and mistaking it for gender dysmorphia. Body dysmorphia is very normal and a part of low self esteem, low self confidence and anxiety. It’s the same dysmorphia that leads people to having too many boob jobs or 5 rhinoplasties but it’s also the same dysmorphia that settles away with proper therapy, life experiences and for most adulthood experiences & healthy sexual experiences boosting confidence about the dysmorphic body parts. Kids are not hearing older women and elderly women speaking about their bodies. Their not hearing older men or seniors talk about their bodies. Why? Because they don’t have big families, live isolated or don’t have relationships outside these age ranges. I really believe being a young woman for example around older women can truly change how you think about your body and accept it.

[@AndiAndrea]

You are absolutely right about how beneficial it is to have friends and family from all age groups. It’s very important

[@Ace-v3t]

Mostly it comes from being brainwashed from social media. At least back in the day there was some sort of a fighting chance by turning off the tv or distracting kids at the checkout from the magazines. But today there’s NO escaping it. It’s everywhere

[@madamedex5989]

I believe this too. I struggled with some dysmorphia issues after having my 4th child. It makes total sense to me why young people especially might not feel comfortable in their bodies in their teens and 20s- especially when women are sexually objectified at a very young age.

The doctors don’t know much about the long term effects of gender care, so it’s a bit pointless to look to them as the authority. It’s not an easy time right now, until we have more studies that doctors can rely on to provide care it’s anecdotal evidence. It’s hard to find a doctor who knows what they’re doing. I struggle as a woman to find a doctor who knows what they’re doing, and I don’t even have gender issues.

Especially when you are dosing estrogen rather than what your body makes naturally. A person's body is made to balance the hormones needed for you specifically to be healthy. No doctor can do that ever. I don't care how many blood tests they do, they can't balance what you need like your own body can. Doctors know that. They also know they can't make money that way so they'll never say that out loud. This is just one big cash grab like lobotomies. They are gonna ride this gravy train till they are forced to stop.

[@ceciliajones7816]

Well there are other complications of complete hysterectomy. Remember the mesh failures? They made those to help with the issues around removing an organ. On top of the fact that estrogen doesn’t just affect the reproductive systems. Estrogen can affect cholesterol, bone density, etc. We really need to teach biology in high school. In particular, sex education which needs to have biology as a focus along with psychology

I am a transsexual man who works in healthcare. When that trans masc said his testosterone level was close to 5000, my jaw dropped. No wonder his kidneys are failing! Hormones are not something to mess around with. I appreciate you for telling the truth, HRT is not all sunshine and rainbows. It's a wonderful medical advancement for those of us who truly have gender dysphoria, but it's a process that must be treated with caution. We 100% need reasonable gatekeeping to ensure kids aren't getting on it because it's trending on TikTok.

@@stigmoto228 He mentioned he was using testosterone gel 3 times a day. That's a lot, and gels can be hard to dose precisely. I don't know if the doc ordered that or if he decided on his own to take it that often because "it wasn't working fast enough", medication non-compliance is a very real problem. Plus, I'm willing to bet he wasn't seeing his endocrinologist as often as he should have been. It's possible this could have been caught before he went into kidney failure.

High testosterone is common in females with autism because it results in cancer and cardiac issues.

Back in the 1960's and 1970's, a lot of ob/gyn doctors were prescribing hysterectomies to women. Most of my mother's female friends underwent this surgery even though she never had it. I think the surgery affected their health quite a bit.

[@jp1972-v9u]

Well said Buck. I waited until I was 32 to transition to make sure I really wanted this life commitment. I tried so hard for years to live as a female. I had relationships with men to try and fit in and then later on women to try and fit in the lesbian world but I realised that I couldn't carry on. I was close to ending my life as there was no support, the internet was a new thing. I am now 52. I had a lot of therapy before and knew that it was a life changing permeant decision. I am old school and cant understand the new generation of trans people that don't take it seriously. I know that everyone is different but I couldn't wait to have my hysto and ooperectomy because of my dysphoria. I had to wait 10 years to have phalloplasty because at the time funding was different and it came from a local authority and wasn't centralised. To say the wait was tough is an understatement. I don't regret transitioning and I took on board the risks. Who knows what my life expectancy will be now, but that is the cost you pay for taking hormones that aren't designed for your biological gender. It is serious stuff and I wish the newer generations would realise this.

I transitioned in 2010, in my late thirties, after years of knowing I should have been born male. I started thinking about it at 12, and in my twenties, I began discussing it and dressing more male. By my mid-thirties, the anger and depression became unbearable. I found an LGBT-friendly psychologist and, after a year of therapy, received a referral letter for an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist started me on a low dose of testosterone after a careful evaluation. When I sought top surgery, both the surgeon and nurse ensured I was fully committed to the procedure. Though frustrating at the time, I now see the importance of these precautions. I had three trans male friends; two have since detransitioned. This baffles me and makes me think they might not have had enough support or deliberation from the medical community.

First of all, I have a mad respect for you. Second, it's not just that their bodies are shuting down, but what will happen to the babies born from these transmascs? There is an intersex condition in female babies called virilization, where the mother was exposed to high levels of testosterone, either by a tumor or other causes. Transitioning is not a joke.

[@RaefonB]

Yeah, that's something I don't think I've ever seen KZbinrs talk about in a nuanced way... Trans men and pregnancy doesn't make sense to me at all, but video responses are always either 'eww, gross and wtf!' or 'this is totally fine, more trans men should do it!' Both are very unhelpful, people need to hear facts instead of heavily biased information. When trans men don't freeze their eggs and just stop the testosterone to get pregnant - surely after years on a synthetic hormone, there's some impact on the ovaries? Even if they do freeze their eggs but they want to carry the baby - surely after years on a synthetic hormone, there's some impact on the womb and other essential parts of the reproductive system? To my knowledge, the babies born so far seem healthy, but who knows? Would be good to hear insights from a physician in a relevant specialist field.

[@k.s.9821]

@@RaefonB The glittery part is always exposed, but the ugly part is supresed and silenced. Transactivism has ruined thousands of lives and is brewing maybe the biggest medical, legal and political scandal in history. Denying biology and women's rights, pushing vulnerable or traumatized kids into transition, giving cover to predators and fetishists, not talking about the possible effects on babies born from women on T, parents seeing their children taken away and women ending up arrested or in jail for not subscribing to the transcult... Not even the alt-right could have done so much damage in such a short time.

Wow, sweetheart, I'm so thankful you're OK. I'd love an episode just on your health from beginning to the long term picture of 80 year old tranpa lol. PS, that last thing could have just been skipped LMAO that was so scary HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I need advice! So my niece is transitioning to male and is on hormones. To be very honest I truly believe she is just a girl who doesn't feel girlie and is a product of her environment. She is 22. Her parents were completely inept and did the bare minimum to "raise" her and her brother, so the world has had way more of an influence than they ever did. I've been close to the LGBT community since the steps of the capital building back in the 90s when we fought for marriage rights, so I feel like I know what a real trans person is like. She genuinely does NOT seem trans-she seems confused and influenced-she is exactly like all the other Gen Z girls who are playing this game. She has zero plans to do any surgeries either top or bottom. She is also dating a man who wants to be a girl and they live together and are sexually active...Dude....it's a lot. ANYWAY, how can I encourage them against hormones and all this other stuff? If they want to be different then why can't they just be different without harming themselves?? Any advice on how to have this conversation????

Well done Buck for discussing these complex matters so clearly. People need to know this before they even start on this journey. Loving parents need to discuss this information with younger people before allowing young family members to make irreversible life decisions.

[@magpiegirl3783]

Important to cover this. One thing I don’t hear spoken about is osteoporosis for f-to-m transitioners. Osteoporosis results from low estrogen in females. Given you are taking high doses of testosterone for the female body, bone loss is reality. That’s another lot of drugs to take. This episode shows how important it is to NOT transition children, and also how negligent the medical industry is with regards trans.

[@Toastie16]

Wait, so he’d prefer not to take HRT for a while instead of taking oestrogen gel? What? Surely that would be way less dysphoric. They really need to start talking to actual doctors instead of “the community” An actual gynaecologist would know what’s happening.

[@lizziegirl5124]

I cant believe the amount of medical professionals that speak like teenagers.

[@J383n]

I think they do it to use language people understand, but IDK why they can't say something like "atrophy, like when your vagina gets thin and hard" Those are all basic words to describe the medical word, to educate them.

[@HereComesWheely]

3:44 it is dangerous, but the word you were probably looking for was ignorant or misinformed. Too many run their mouths on their own personal thoughts rather than speaking to elder members who have gone through the same thing. I'd normally say health professionals - but mine told me "atrophy is caused by low T" and tried to force me onto E blockers which I refused, as thankfully you educated me many moons ago about atrophy. Thank you for your wisdom and saintly patience!

First of all, may I just say for a 62 y.o. you look fabulous! Second, I love how you're advocating for people going to therapy first before deciding to go through transitioning. I understand the past history of conversion-therapy and many other forms of therapy that were designed to "help" the LGBTQ+ community, but instead ended up hurting them. But to go through such a drastic and dramatic life change, and then you're playing with your hormones or not taking it seriously, shows that a person may not be as gender dysphoric as they think. Maybe they're just following a trend, weren't educated about puberty or their body from a young age, or even just trying to avoid emotions from other things like an eating disorder or body dysmorphia. Keep on making your videos, ur fire.

[@loriw1234]

I so appreciate your honesty and authenticity.

[@Suzipaloozy]

Let's not forget that if you still have female reproductive organs, you are susceptible to uterine, ovarian, and or uterine cancer. Some seem to think that they no longer need care & I understand that the dysphoria is real and pelvic exams can feel very unusual with that condition. Hey, it doesn't feel great for women living as women, but it needs to be done. Why are doctors not advising these folks to take care of themselves???

Transitioning literally means “to change from one state to another”. So, why do some of these “transitioners” treat it like there’s fluidity in between each state? Like, it’s not a giant pool where you can swim back and forth. In this case, it’s odd to me that these “transitioners” aren’t being educated by the doctors that provide the treatments. Like, are these doctors experiencing some sort of dysphoria themselves? Like, are they completely unable to disclose these things because they’re blinded by the desire to make the “ill” “well”? Like, maybe a “doctor dysohoria” of sorts?

[@kellysouter4381]

Doctors suffer from wallet dysphoria. They identify as ridiculously wealthy and will do anything to transition.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I’m sure they’re not being treated by doctors who are specialists in their field. Anyone with a prescription pad can prescribe these dangerous massive doses of hormones including naturopaths (in certain states) physician assistants and nurse practitioners.

Buck, there is a whole industry of "men's clinics" you might also talk about. These clinics go through the motions of testing a middle-aged man's T, then for 200 or 300 dollars a month they will supply T supplements. That's why you see the guys in their 50s and 60s getting huge at the gym. Their bodies don't crank out that much T at their age. Their suppliers do.

Post menopausal women usually DO NOT have to surgically remove their uterus and fallopian tubes. In post menopausal women a small dose of estrogen cream or injection can help and they only get drier thinner vaginal lining its not even comparable. Dont try to make this a non issue or "normal". Women that transition to trans men should be told all this and that they will be patients for life before transitioning.

With men it is much simpler but still men also have hormonal issues. Our bodies are meant to be cherished and taken care of not to be destroyed pumping hormones. If you need to do that because you have gender disphoria and it is your only solution to get better you do it under doctors supervision and you should be aware it may impact your health negatively but it is your decision. I wish women would understand their bodies are special

[@charliefarrar7149]

Buck, first off, I love you and your videos. I think you are providing a great service to the trans community. I have a question. Would young adults that started transitioning as children prior to puberty, have more issues healthwise than someone that waited until their bodies mature? It seems that we are finding that many of these young adults are having kidney issues, heart issues and I am sure other issues. I certainly don't know but it just seems it would be because of the stress put on an immature body. I understand that it puts stress on the body at any age and there would be problems along the way that transpeople have to be prepared to deal with.
