This is so important . Thank you ! ♥️

I find it funny how all of these comments are only talking about hormones, surgery, and binding while I (ftm) have no access to any of these and am only surviving by constantly and intentionally disassociating and pretending I'm a boy :')

Loved this!

One thing I find a bit puzzling is the claim that trans-identifying young people are often autistic. I'm a cis man who was diagnosed as autistic a few years ago and my sense is that my autism makes me less concerned about "fitting in" and less susceptible to social suasion wrt my beliefs. So it's not clear to me why a trans social contagion would be disproportionately affecting autistic teens as some claim.

We need a life update from all of you!

Thank you for getting together and sharing. Hopefully you are all well. It would be nice to see how you are doing.

I'm sharing this video in conjunction with posting about my letter to _Metro_ protesting an AP story they carried that falsely calls Lisa Littman's paper that brought this group together "discredited."

Helena is such a powerful speaker, so clear and coherent. Really impressive

This is such important work. How do we support this?

I came out as nonbinary about a decade ago, but there was a span of about a year where I identified as a boy in order to be seen as more "legitimately trans". It was such bullshit. So even though I still don't identify as cis, I do relate to detransitioners. I hate how medicalized being trans is, how as soon as you come out people are pressuring you to pursue medical intervention. Part of why I know my queer identity is legitimate now is because they're some of the least interesting things about me, I rarely share that information with strangers, and I don't use social media anymore.

My daughter just visited the pediatrician and said she was non-binary. She also said she was comfortable with her body. They said she was gender dysphoric and tried to refer us to a clinic. She does not want to change her body and I'm fine with her socially transitioning but I feel like they were pushing it

MESS! It's always FTMs that have these issues. Most of them aren't having any therapy either. I feel like MTF's get alot of therapy plus our surgeries have a higher success rate.

You guys (no offense there) are amazing! I comment you for your bravery and self-reflection. You have wisdom that parents could use. In the end, we are seeing the issue of self-worth and humanist values that need to be the center of the discussion, not gender or sexual orientation. If the primary principle and 'identity' that is emphasized by parents is the 'human' identity -- humans with complex needs and desires that go beyond gender and sex, -- then self-acceptance, healthy social networks and accessibility to worlds to explore outside the virtual world would be much more helpful than expensive biotechnical manipulations that circumvent a person's appreciation of the very sophisticated biological apparatus - male or female - that they possess, and about which science is still discovering and building knowledge. The real 'identity politics' we are facing is about natural human versus genetically, surgically or electronically modified human. What is it to be human, and how much do we know, and what are we missing when we make artificial alterations?

Detrans need support too❤

If I was their age there is no way I would play into this nonsense #followers

Thank you so much for sharing

God bless all you detransitioners with every good wish and blessing. Hormone treatment may indeed be quite negative and not good medicine. What about the Hypocratic oath ?

there is a definition and you don't fit it, you were never trans if youre just a confused woman its not rocket science

Better to love yourself as you are born, no need to change yourself, your born perfect❤❤❤

You have been on such an intense personal journey and emerged a thoughtful, compassionate, and generous person, wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing your hard won insights. Big, electronic hugs!

Your maturity and courage are extraordinary and an inspiration! You have more support than you know.

What about creating a movement that stands up for standards for equal treatment, such as using unisex-pronouns, making up gender-neutral toilets, so that it gives people an alternative to denying their gender and weakening the acceptance of gender in general, so that no controversy has to be about the concept of gender at all, only about treatment. ? I am searching since a long time and I find really nothing about that, shockingly, as you may believe, and I find this really a pitty.

Thank you for this. ❤️

I transitioned over a decade ago in a time that FTM transition was barely spoken about. I couldn’t recognise my experience in a lot of these new generation transitioners and saw a detransition boom coming and I think my private doctor did also, he was also trans and specialised in transsexualism and prescribed hormones. He got out of the practice just as it was escalating. I’m happy with my choice but I feel that I lost an authentic trans community over these years. The spaces became filled with people who’s experience didn’t reflect the existing community who were really struggling with gender incongruence and treated it like a lifestyle choice. I just left at that point.

I wonder what happened to this project as it was brilliant what they were doing

I think that a person has to experience strong gender dysphoria for a long enough time to really know if they are sure they want to go transition or not. For me, it tooks nearly 20 years to actually sure that I'm trans. There are times that I has really bad depression, but I'm still holding out , and trying figuring if this is really what I want before telling my parents.

This is a good example of how social media has pushed this trans trend. Brainwashing some people. They joked about what did people do before social media? Haha. Yea people were normal back then we didn't ever think about gender and switching our sex and yada yada. Social media ushered in this trans madness.

Thanks for doing this. It has been good to hear about your experiences and views.

Mind blown

This phenomenon is mostly affecting teenage girls.

Thank you for being so open about this. I had a very “non-typical” transition experience, so I think it is good for all viewpoints to be shared. It is shocking how young people start transitioning. I was not exposed to these things until I was almost an adult, as I was homeschooled through high school and didn’t have a need for the internet. I only started HRT this summer (I’m 22) after having struggled with Gender Dysphoria since I was a kid. I don’t really suffer from social dysphoria, so most of my treatment is focused on physical transition. I sometimes worry about people being confused as to why a girl would look so masculine, so it is reassuring to see you all looking comfortable in your gender presentation.

you guys are amazing i hope you all are doing okay. i really do. i think doing this was so brave and helpful and amazing

Great that all you guys gona detransitioning

Why is this channel inactive?

I’m halfway through and my main issue is you wanted validation, respect, a higher social status, had warped ideas of what transitioning would be like, and had little to no dysphoria prior and got most of your information from social media. Those are all MAJOR red flags that you are not in it for the right reasons. Every time I have a shred of doubt I put everything on pause because I’m constantly thinking about how this will affect my future. You were kids so I can’t completely blame you, but you should’ve been thinking about things like this BEFORE ever starting hormones. EDIT: anyone that transitions for validation or “more friends” is delusional and will come to a rude awakening when you get the complete opposite

WAKE UP! GENDER IDIOLOGY IS A TOTAL 2030 AGENDA”S MANIPULATION.-STOP TRIYNG TO IDENTIFY AS THIS OR AS THAT BS. “ THERES ONLY 2 SEXES , MEN & WOMEN .

God bless you and may you find him

Notice how few of these stories are about men who transition to women ? It shows that this is a "trend" that young women are sadly taking part of.

#Mercury, #xenohormones, #atrazine, etc need to be a part of the discussion th-cam.com/video/4l6fai80E2w/w-d-xo.html

Sad Need therapy for sure

I mean this was exactly how majority of eating disorders started. Not the main reason , but it magnifies the issue. Growing up on teen magazines , telling you that you are not accepted in society if you aren't skinny. Really picked up with social media. I am a "straight" woman, but in this sense I can totally relate to how influenceable young people are.

Sounds like the dysphoria was from Patriarchy.

You make well thought out remarks - thank you for sharing what was difficult journey. I could only watch half because every few words would be”Ike .”

I think gender dysphoria is a lot more common than people think, it just hasn't been as socially engineered as it is now. i definitely experienced it well into my 20s but i just grew out of it eventually. and it was due to shame projected onto me - and you're right being a female is not easy, and parents don't make it easy with all the expectations of how you're supposed to look and act honestly. a lot of what you said i could relate to even though I've never identified as trans - managing appearances through clothing? thats something i think everyone can relate to - its so exhausting

I tried so very hard to watch this, as it’s a very serious topic that needs addressing, and here are four young people sharing their experiences but I’m sorry… all I could hear was the word “like” and very little else. Had to quit before I hit the 20-minute-mark. But I DO get where you’re coming from, and where you’re going with the discussion, and I truly feel for you; I felt much the same way you do back in 1980, when I was 17 - well before the days of computers, let alone social media. I asked my doctor about gender reassignment surgery way back then; a little time to talk with him and reassess why I felt so awkward and awful being a young lady had nothing to do with my sexuality or “gender identity” (a term coined by Dr. John Money who thought he’d test the theory of Nature vs. Nurture… and Nature won, but not without harrowing consequences for twin boys who grew up to take their own lives because of the medical calamity that befell one of them (very well documented case, if anyone wants to research it). And I know that my being peeved about the over-use of a single word in the conversation style of today’s youth seems petty but it’s the same mechanism that draws young people into this whole gender identity stupidity, i.e. “monkey see, monkey do”… just saying ❤️

Saving this vid for when i have kids fr

hey, please be careful with all this. its interesting, and a great re-source and im glad its being put out there, but at the same time i know a lot of parents of trans kids parents' are watching this shit and using it as an excuse to ignore their kids coming out.

Thank you for sharing your stories!

how’s to as an actual Transexual woman because the Transexual community tell these people they aren’t trans all the time and they tell us we have internalized transphobia and do whatever the Fuck they want.

I'm very curious if any of you spoke so openly like this with your respective therapists? Or did you play them?
