  • This was a difficult video to post knowing the inevitable backlash that people who criticise the LGBT community receive. I've always been someone who strives for truth and fairness so I think it's important to share my story so that we can understand the effects that exposure to certain ideas can have on young children. It's a conversation that's only just starting to be had but I hope it ends with less children going through what I did.

    I am a 39-year-old trans woman and I firmly believe that there should be more gatekeeping for transitioning, there needs to be better education about the risks involved, and there are some very serious risks for anyone medically transitioning. I am happy that you did find your true self and I am sorry that the journey had to take you down a potentially dangerous path. As far as your trans friends shunning you for detransitioning, they weren't real friends. A real friend doesn't care if you are trans or not, they should care that you are happy with who you are no matter where you are on your journey to find yourself.

      Yes, much more education on side effects, long term, FEELINGS but, the facts on how, medically, what you go through. The taking of pills, as well as the pain of healing, procreation. It really is going to shorten life expectancy.
      Lately, It seems glorified and a trend. I just am so worried that there's so much emphasis on making A DECISION NOW. Something so personal and intimate, should be looked at with hundreds of 100s of "what if" questions. In this case, in every case, there are no stupid questions. Explore everything as deep and far as you can. I can promise one thing in life...things change. Situations, feelings, science, literally everything changes whether we want them to or not. Love and light to all.

      I’m the parent of a trans kid (ftm). I had a tomboy phase / gender dysmorphia for most of my childhood (5 to early 20s). There is a lot of pressure on kids now to physically transition as early as possible. I’m just trying to slow mine down enough to grow into themselves and make informed choices. He is socially transitioned, but I really don’t believe he can give informed consent to irreversible changes yet, or that he can be absolutely certain how his path will unfold at 14 (gender identity is a journey). Of course I’m going to love him whatever path he takes, but as the mum I feel I need to protect his right to have all the information and the maturity to make informed choices…

They say they want to be loved and accepted for who they are while at the same time being hateful towards people and having no acceptance of people with differing opinions and no acceptance for detransitioners. And at the same time push these stuff onto other people thinking they're life will be so much better afterwards and not saying a word of what negative stuff could possibly happen afterwards.

      The other side knows they'd lose, hence why they play on emotions, especially fear, rather than use rational arguments. Transgender isn't the problem, self-identifying as the opposite sex is. Unfortunately, a cult based on self-ID ideology arose & has successfully managed to redefine trans to mean self-ID. It's time to separate the two.

    I do think a lot of people mix up the experience of depression and puberty with gender dysphoria.
    I do believe that people should have to go the therapy to transition and should have to be 18 the problem is people who don’t let their kids social transition because I think that would help with them figuring themselves out.
    Transitioning is definitely not a fix all for body image issues and depression.
    I’m lucky enough to have a mom who isn’t your stereotypical girl imagine. She likes hunting and fixing cars and doing things people would label aimed towards men because I think growing up that sit a line for me to understand that girls don’t have to be feminine or girly.

      My friend I want to ask why do you think this is? Why do you think minority groups in America who are threatened by law, society, and mistreatment tend to identify heavily and almost make proud their race, sexuality etc, and identify so hard with these factors? Could it be that when you and your community are mistreated for that common factor of being black, trans, Hispanic, etc by mainstream society you tend to stick with and identify with that identity that is under attack. As well as the identity becoming a resistance against that mistreatment, pride in the face of attack. Trans pride is a response to trans hate, black power is a response to racism and white supremacy in America, etc. So people are so identified with it because it's being attacked, no one is saying "hey I'm trans I'm gay I'm special" it's hey I'm trans in the face of a country that doesn't seem to want me to exist and makes me feel lesser for being. I'm standing here proud of this factor, I am effectively looking to be resistance to the mistreatment.

I transitioned when I was older(by that I mean 18) so that makes it even weirder for me to see this. Especially since I grew up around a trans sibling and friends. But I never really thought about my body issues until I was 17. Even than I only realized I was trans when tried really hard to be a man
    Edit: I agreed with most of the video. Just got to the end. I was with you through out all of this. But they do tell you the changes of testosterone is permanent? They have to, legally tell you that. So either your doctor was shit or you didn’t really get close to transitioning other than socially. Which is why it’s always recommended to socially transition before medically. Cause than you can realize it was not you. Like you did

      Which country do you live in? They don't need to tell you the changes. That isn't legal, even if it is, the government doesn't care. The law is only for fascists. Speaking as a former anti-fascist. There are exceptions for more trivial matters like transitions. It's not awful or life altering, or so I was told by others of the community.
      I am no longer of that spectrum, but I still somewhat believe in their way of thinking, which is essentially as I just said. Peer pressure, take advantage of mentally unstable, and take advantage of loopholes in law. Ringleaders are trying to get more supporters, and the greater plan requires them to stir up hate and such. They need more fodder. They are paid to do so, anyone would do such things if they were being paid millions. Who wouldn't?

      In the USA, as a child you need extensive testing from mental health professionals to get care beyond social transition/presentation (haircut and a nickname.) It has to be persistent and consistent for a kid to get anything medical. As an adult, the informed consent model requires the doctor to walk you through the side effects point-by-point. When I started on testosterone, I had to sign off on each section of side effects (bottom growth, hair growth, body recomposition, voice changes.) I signed my legal name maybe 12 times and was given a printout to take home. It was very thorough. I was fortunate to have a clinic near me that does informed consent. A larger gender clinic took a year just for me to get an appointment with them. The gatekeeping is strong and I agree with it.
      I think a lot of kids especially say "I transitioned!" when really they got a haircut and a nickname. People assume children are getting surgeries but the actual number of kids medically transitioning are very low. The woman in the video is right though, Trans is the new Goth and as a trans adult it can be very annoying to see children treat this identity as a frivolous trend. It really takes away from trans kids who experience extreme dysphoria and belittles their experiences.

      The thing is, if x guy thinks she is a girl, the moment he opens up to someone about it there's barely anyone who will question that he's not that, they'll lure him into believing it even if initially he was just questioning it, regardless of if he actualy wants to be a girl deep down, and if someone says something that would make this guy turn back for a moment, they're transphobic and he shouldnt listen to the hater. Suddenly without realising x is now as you call it socially transitioned, and not even a psychologist will question it, he may now take hormones and get through irreversible changes, since he already socially transitioned. The act of medical transition will give you warnings along the way? Yes, but socially transitioning will not and thats the issue. Everything needs to be able to be questioned by anyone, its not the same if you only see one side of the coin. In this comment section if you scroll for a bit you can see quite a lot of stories of others who de transition, most of them admit to be confused or having thought that their struggles would be solved if they transitioned, so if its a common issue why cant people bring it up as a point when others are questioning their gender?

It helped that I'm roommates with two gay guy friends who are shirtless a lot. But that moment was the first time I mustered showing that much skin, I thought the anxiety would cripple me but it didn't. I felt good about my body. For background, I'm nonconforming and the first time I wore shorts was when I was 17.

    This might not sound like it makes sense but this whole things reminds me of the anorexia & ednos epidemic that took hold of us in the 90s/00s.
    As someone who was hospitalised for anorexia, so many aspects of this are giving me deja vu. When Dr's tell you about the long term consequences of doing this to yourself, it doesn't sink in because you've made this illness your whole identity, you felt lost, confused and overwhelmed before and now you drown out real life with this issue.
    There were people who didn't fit the diagnostic criteria for anorexia because they were a healthy weight and they made a new diagnosis, eating-disorder not otherwise specified. There were even people who advocated for a weight category to be removed from the diagnostic criteria for AN because they wanted the diagnosis but they weren't skinny. And it was offensive to think otherwise, you had to respect their self-diagnosis.
    The only major difference was that no sane person or health professional would've allowed any adolescent to pursue their goal of starving themselves to death while saying "ok if you think you're fat, we will call you fat and help you lose weight!"

    I did fancy men from a very young age and I was attracted to some women too but not sexually, just longed to be near them. If becoming transgender had been a thing that was possible then, by that I mean talked about and accepted. I would have probably wondered if that was what I wanted.
    I studied agriculture. I was the first girl from a large London comprehensive to do this. I drove tractors as one of my first jobs. I now mostly wear trousers and was so happy when my children were boys as I had the excuse to get all the boys toys to play with (so I could play with them too). I made sure they had lots of girls toys to play with too and a whole mix of dressing up stuff.

    I'm gay, and not transphobic. There are trans people, but the numbers are way smaller than what is happening today. But I basically left the LGBabc123 community as soon as I learned that kids were only being "gender affirmed" without question, and not letting them be kids and explore who they are. I think this has a huge social contagion to it, especially with the rise of social media, and all these young kids are being pulled into the hype. It terrifies me to think if I grew up in today's society, I remember crying myself to sleep, wishing God had made me a girl instead of being a gay man so bad. If I had tiktok as a kid in the 90's... I could have had a very difficult life for no reason.
    The history of social contagions is quite startling, particularly in generations of young girls, and a lot has to do with not being comfortable in your changing body. Anorexia, cutting, and gender dysphoria, are all serious emotional issues that spread like wildfire in young people and can be tracked in huge spikes in numbers every 20 years or so. I'm so happy you were able to get out before any permanent and irreversible surgeries.

    around four years ago i too started feeling “trans” and thought that the only way out was being more male presenting to kill all this feelings of hatred towards myself that i was feeling. i never came out, i kept it all to myself, i warped my own memories to try and justify that i was “indeed trans”, because it all “made sense” why growing up other girls didnt want me around, why i hated dresses, why i refused to even start wearing make up and all your stereotypical “girl” things. i kept growing up, my body changed and it was turned against me, i really wanted to get rid of my breasts, at the ripe age of 13 years old.
    im glad i never came out.
    i too would’ve grown to be a detransitioner
    i dont wanna make this too long but i figured out that to be a woman is what i chose it to be and and mean to me, if i enjoy more stereotypical “dude” stuff that doesnt mean im a guy, i still sometimes want to get rid of my chest but not because its too “femme” purely bcs it ruins some outfits that with a small chest theyd look pretty neat.
    i found out that i am is defined my myself, not all these labels floating around in this digital era.
    i am me, very simply just me. i am a woman, i am not femme but that is more than ok, i am still a girl and yes i am me

    A lot of people tend to push aside detrans and see it as a thing that doesn’t happen. I believe gender identity is complicated and you aren’t going to know it easily. It takes a lot of time. I’m glad that this video got on the popular side. Younger people are always figuring themselves out, even when they’re older. This is why getting therapy is good, talking with parents. Recently I told my father I was questioning being transgender and we had a lengthy private conversation (that I won’t share here). I am open to change. I am open to being cis or trans, whatever happens I know my family will still love me. It’s sad that people think it’s “cool” to hate your parents. I love my family they are awesome. Gender identity and sexuality are so confusing. Detrans people are real, detrans people are valid, and acknowledging detrans people isn’t transphobic.

    • @goingunder2548
      @goingunder2548 ปีที่แล้ว

      Acknowledging detrans people isn’t transphobic. What is transphobic is believing they make a significant enough proportion of the trans population to make widespread medical and legal changes that put the other 99% of trans people who are happy at increased risk of suicide and discrimination. Also purposefully ignoring that a lot of detrans people do so out of societal pressure, or decide they’re non binary. It’s ok to be detrans but don’t assume anything else about other trans people. Your life is yours and theirs is theirs.

      As an 19 year old girl who went through the ideas of "maybe im a boy, it would be fun to try transitioning- there would be no pressure to conform to stereotypes". That's the thing though- never forget this:
      Never let a stereotype push you into a box. Never let anyone define you. You are an incredibly unique and beautiful human being. "Feminine" and "Masculine" mean nothing in the grand scheme of your unique DNA, and your unique thoughts, and your unique soul. You are 100% YOU.
      I was very close to becoming trans during the ages of 14-18 and I realized after a long while of struggling that I changed SO SO much over those 4 years and it was worth it to wait and be patient with myself and my mind and body. I was too unique to be pushed into the LGBTQ stereotypes (because oddly enough, they try to break stereotypes by making so many more stereotypes). Not to hate on the LGBTQ at all- I just see it as a human being being far too diverse in far too many aspects that it is impossible to fit yourself into a box.
      I don't care if im not 100% femenine, I don't care if im not 100% Masculine. I know for certain that I am 100% me, and only I can define what I am by being myself and allowing myself to learn and listen. :] You are incredibly unique, so whatever you decide to do in life, don't ever forget how unique you are.

    This is exactly what happened to me during my stint under the umbrella. Hated my body, had bad relations with my parents, unstable living situation. Instead of working on these issues, I went deeper down the rabbit hole. After insanity continuing to ensue for months, I woke up one day and was just like "what the fuck have I done". Then I announced my intention to detrans and my closest friend, who was of course also trans, stopped talking to me. I basically posted on social media after "im detransitioned." and have ever since abandoned all social media ad just do everything alone, go to work and come home and spend time alone every day. Everyone I was friends with wound up being superficial and i talk to none of them now. and now I am in my early 20s but still have scars of my past as a guy who has to wear a chest-binder forever despite being born male.

      The words and actions of random people online shouldn't affect the way you view trans people as a whole... that's textbook transphobia. The internet is full of trolls and assholes, not sure why that resulted in you thinking trans people act like clowns. This video and many of the responses to the video are fostering a lot of hatred (even though the poster probably didn't intend that) and misunderstanding toward trans people. Ex: she says she hated her parents and found ways to demonize them "probably because that's what my friends were doing". That's not how trans people (not people who think they might be trans) feel, they are often hated by their parents. There is no "doing what their friends are doing" because they're not like their friends... at all. I don't like how many people are twisting and misunderstanding.

    This is why I’ve decided to just cancel my subscription to gender as a whole. Because when I was discovering all this stuff I was recognizing that I didn’t resonate with how I viewed society to define a woman as. I thought maybe then I was gender-fluid or androgynous or something, but the more I tried to find some mold to fit into, the more I realized that none of them fit me. I feel so much better just being whatever I am and not trying to define it any further than “I’ve cancelled my subscription to gender. My biological sex is female, call me whatever pronouns you want.” Because it does occasionally make me feel nice inside when someone online or that hasn’t met me refers to me as “they” or “he,” that I could be viewed as something other than stuck inside the social construct of what femininity should look like. I can just exist. And I like that.

    Thank you for coming on here and speaking out. More and more young women are telling their detransition stories and it is so important that kids going through this now, hear those stories. Anyone who is not an adult should not be given the choice to make a permanent physical change to their bodies. The teenage years are tricky to navigate and it is a time when you try to find your identity and discover yourself. As a teenager, I was sort of a tomboy. I did not like dresses and preferred baggy trousers and comfy t-shirts, but my parents and everyone else understood that this was a normal phase that I was going through. I was never made to believe that I was a boy. The truth is, it is totally normal for teenage girls and even adult women to not "Feel feminine" at some point in their lives. We need to teach girls that if they do not fit into today's definition of femininity that it is still okay and it does not mean you are not female. Different women like different things. You can be a female trucker, female firefighter, or female bodybuilder. Being a woman does not mean fitting into a set of feminine traits outlined by today's society.

People have observed for many many decades the repercussion of that rebellious stage in our lives.

    If I had grown up in todays era, I would’ve most definitely been considered trans. I was and kind of still am very much a tomboy. As an adult I have embraced my femininity. It’s crazy how much has changed culturally in the last 10-20 years. So proud of you to speak out with your experience. I genuinely feel very sad for all of you that had been sold a lie at such a vulnerable age. Adults that have an agenda have used all of these children and it’s sickening.

No need to get angry about it, lunacy is something far different from just respecting others life choices and let them be. Of course this is meant in general sense, don't twist my words for specific situations. Live your life and let others live their life, simple as that, just that itself is huge respect that everyone, including you, deserves. :3

    Hello, 16 year old trans man here. I'm about 2 and 1/2 months on testosterone. I've only ever came out and identified as Eric(he/him/his/himself). I believe we need to educate more people but also not come at the trans community. I don't really involve myself with the trans community but I'd like to say some things
    My mother would not let me transition for a long time because of her religion. Which did cause me and her to separate. She let me start testosterone and now me and hers relationship is so much better. I love my family... I personally don't think the community promotes hating your family but we all have different stories...I understand.
    I actually became dysphoric AFTER puberty, I was 13 and couldn't look in the mirror without Wondering who it was and breaking down.
    It's so unfortunate to have never been able to be connected to the feminine feeling. Gender roles definitely do play into this, and gender roles are important with our community. I'm a man. Just a trans one. Thank you

    It is never lost on me how lucky I am to have not gone through with a physical transition. Even so, emotionally that experience still has a big effect on my life now, even after 6 years. It impacted my social development due to the isolation, so many impacts on me.
    I attended groups etc at that time and I feel so angry now at the adults who had a duty of care towards vulnerable teenagers, of whom many of us ended up in this same boat :(

    I've just sat with a good cup of coffee and watched a few of your videos, starting with this one. I don't know how old you are, but obviously still young. But it's nice to see some coherent and well thought out ideas from someone still young, rather than the endless narcissism so common, particularly in many young women these days.
    I want to thank you for sharing your story here. It's so incredibly important that people like yourself who have been caught up in the trans ideology relay their story for others to hear, who may be about to turn down a road that there would be no fully coming back from. Where your head is at any given moment in your life, is no indicator of where it can potentially be further down the line in life. The beautiful thing about getting older is that you build up a library of experience based on years spent on this planet, that cannot be obtained any other way.
    It'a heartwarming to see where you are, compared to where you've been from your videos. It gave me a good chuckle in your other video saying that your attendance at a Marxist convention made you realise you were no longer on the left. Welcome to the club! That's also my story.
    If I could travel back to my 20yo self and tell myself where I am at with my perspectives on the world, I would probably be in a heated slanging match with myself. The best thing I have ever done is to be flexible with my positions as new information and ideas present themselves. Dogma never serves anyone well. Good luck with everything, keeping posting. Subbed! ❤💪

    non-binary here who's not that young anymore; I'm incredibly sorry you had to go through all of this. Stories like yours highlight how necessary it generally is to go to therapy and to seriously reflect and question what you feel and what causes these feelings before transitioning.
    We can all learn from this.
    A lot of the time, you can't reach objective insights without a competent and, most of all, neutral (not lgtbq+ friendly and definitely also not anti-lgtbq+) therapist. So if you are seriously questioning; find a competent, neutral therapist who will figure these things out together with you and find the best way to approach things. This is the way to go. And if at the end of at least a year of therapy the conclusion is that a transition is the best for you, then go for it. If the result is a different one: hey, also great, bc you just safed yourself a lot of irreversable changes that probably aren't the right ones for you. Just make sure it's a good therapist.

    Hey Jamie, I came from Brett Cooper’s video (her channel is The Comment Section) and she played this video about detransitioning. She really wanted to share your story and I absolutely agree with her that voices like yours are so important. I think you’re incredibly courageous to be able to talk publicly about your experience growing up and I think there are a ton of people who can relate to how you felt that need to hear a voice that maybe challenges or even sheds a different light on their situation.
    It’s so easy to get lost in the echo chamber and feel like you’ve gone past the point of no return, but your story will free so many young girls who have isolated themselves and can’t find their way out of the loneliness, anxiety, depression, confusion, and unhappiness that comes from not knowing how to heal mental health issues. I wish I had found someone like you when I was going through similar situations as a young girl and I’m certain you are already making a positive impact on many lives.
    I hope you are able to achieve your dream of having children, as a mother of two I maybe bias but I feel like it was my purpose in life to raise and cherish my boys and it’s been the most joyful and fulfilling experience of my life so far. Best wishes for you in the future!

    Brilliantly said. It’s the timeless adage that if you’re not happy inside before a big life change of any kind, you won’t be happy after. Learning to be happy and accepting of one’s self must come first (and in many cases by that time, one has realized that they are okay the way they are). Also, this shows how any group of young people experience the same thing that young people have been experiencing since the beginning of time. Namely, clinging to whatever identity they relate most to, thinking everyone else is against them and ignorant or uneducated because they don’t have the same level of commitment to a belief that they do. It’s just part of growing up process we all go through.
