Sorry I've just realised the DM is basically the Twitter thread copied out.

There's a thread on this chap somewhere else - he had a Twitter thread. Awful story.

Poor man :(

I didn't realise the age at the time of the exploration and transition. I'm disappointed by the GP's indifference to the complete absence of available care for detransitioners.

He withdrew into an online world where he felt at peace. There, at 23, he found discussions about gender dysphoria, the fear of living in the wrong sexual body. ‘That’s me, I thought.’

That poor man.

I hope he wins his case and I thank him for telling his story. If it stops just one person from making the same mistake then it makes it worthwhile.

What was done to him is heartbreaking. If it takes court cases to stop it from happening again, I'm all in favour.

That poor man. This is why it's so important to not class explorative therapy for gender dysmorphia as being "conversion" therapy or transphobic. Some time with an adequate professional would have uncovered the base fears about this man's sexuality that are admitted to in the article and how to handle it.

Instead of a content gay man, we have a castrated and traumatised gay man who will never get to experience a normal life.

There are absolutely some people who genuinely benefit from this radical and invasive treatment but there really should be far more safeguards before it's undertaken as a step.

That poor poor man. And he was an adult. It’s going to be horrendous when the children who have been put through this realise what has happened to them. I think this will be the first case of many. I think this will be this centuries thalidomide.
