Complications from trans surgery!

This

They are probably talking about "detrans" subreddit. There are also a lot of detransitioners testimonies on youtube if you google "detrans stories" or "detrans regret"

What's the subreddit?

Yes exactly.
I’m part of a group for my rare condition and the USA women’s experience is very different. They tend to jump far more quickly into surgery. I think part is insurance related it’s cheaper to take hit of one major surgery and than pay co pay on repeated more minor surgery. But also cultural - I want it now and I’m paying therefore I should have it. Plus also the belief there has to be a fix for this - a common question from Americans is surely there’s a one and done option. I’ve never seen a British or Australian ask that. It’s very different to our British more cautious wait and see, try less invasive options first approach.

@Dixiechickonhols - but this is the nature of the problems that TRA,s have created. If it's not done when I want, it's transphobic.

Have you ever been on the Reddit pages about regret? Not for those with weak stomachs.

What strikes me how rushed everything is. For surgery with lifelong implications and high risks of serious complications.
I had pioneering reconstructive surgery (airway not genital) It was openly recognised by all drs it was a major decision and lots of risks. I took time to make decision. I had a detailed consent appointment and they asked for me to bring my husband to ensure all risks were fully understood and I had support. I was under no illusions that it would be a miracle cure. A bit of your thigh and rib can’t fully replicate another body part. It’s physically impossible. Issues like no one knows how long it will last before re do needed, no long term outcomes available as procedure is so new, issue with hair (mines the opposite my reconstruction lacks the little hairs airway normally have)
I was older. I’m not autistic, no psychological issues. Yet it was recognised I needed detailed information (even if the information was we don’t know) and time to make a truly informed consent.

Sorry my last comment was to @Ihatedonuts

If you look on some crowd funding sites and search on ‘top surgery revision’ you will see a worrying number of people trying to raise money to get the terrible results of the first surgery fixed. All sorts of serious complications and botches.

This seems to be totally unregulated as far as I can see - and so many are being permanently disfigured when it goes wrong.

And the language of “top surgery” and “bottom surgery” makes it all sound so nice and just normal operations and procedures. Easy to scan over when reading about various issues and not really understand what they mean in reality.

100% this. Also credit to MN for allowing these discussions to continue. Those of us that have been on these threads before know that MN has been under incredible pressure by various parties to stop these healthy debates on here. This is the only place for a lot of people that they can discuss this.

I think the GRC was pre sentence quashing, I could be wrong though.

Sorry yes you're right, killed a man, attempted to rape a woman.

They were also invited to speak at the house of lords about trans equality, and delivered equality/diversity talks for the ambulance service, amongst other groups

It was a male partner they killed - not that it makes any of it any better.

Are you thinking of Karen Jones/Lawson?
They held hostage and attacked a woman in a trans clothing store in Manchester - this was pre transition though, just after they'd been released from prison for killing their partner.

NewBootsAndRanty thanks that's the one.

Those who think we're all a bit pearl clutchy/tin foil hat might like to consider this case of a male with a conviction for killing a woman, who had their life sentence reduced because they were physically incapable of rape in their next attack. And then was awarded a GRC whilst in prison for violent sexual attacks on women.

Be kind/just want to pee/most vulnerable/this never happens my fat arse.

I got my first breast screening appointment through today with a lovely booklet explaining the whole thing and then about masectomies. It brought into stark reality as I await my appointment of exactly what they are putting these poor kids/young women through.

It's just so wrong.

^sorry, should have said Karen Jones/Karen Lawson/Mark Lawson (they've used all 3 names)

Yep. There’s a very disturbing agenda, that I’m sure most trans people aren’t aware of, but as a community they are very much being used. Possibly like PIE in the 70s/80s, but on an enormous scale.

They had their life sentence quashed after it was decided that among various other things they'd only attempted (and been unable to physically maintain an erection to carry out) rape because of gender dysphoria - they also claimed they'd attempted the attack in order to go back to prison and transition. They were also.the first person to get a GRC in prison.

Sorry if I've got that mixed up with a similar case.

When you start looking into it all, really looking, and going beyond the huge great big safeguarding red flags where children are concerned, you start to see the inevitable links made with anything involving queer theory - which is very much at the root of this.

See also the cartoons for kids and on posters and in books with their mastectomy scars. Drip drip drip into kids awarenesses.

@Boiledbeetle thank you. Don't give them ideas though, that could get very dark.
