'Every day, I wear big shirts so people don't see my boobs': Transgender man shares the heart-wrenching note he wrote his mom at age ELEVEN telling her he wanted to transition

'Dear mom, just breathe, I wrote you this note to tell you the truth. So here it goes.

'I have never liked a guy in my whole entire life. I like girls and I am so sorry if I've disappointed you.

'Every day, I wear those big shirts so people don't see my boobs and I will not grow into it. I will just get more and more uncomfortable.

'So, mom, I am coming to you. As your daughter, I am asking you, can I please do this step, in transgender and be a boy?"

"Lyslie began his transition with a mastectomy when he was 16, which was funded by the local community along with some help from his mother."

"When Lyslie turned 18, he began preparing for his phalloplasty - the procedure to create or reconstruct a penis.

The first operation was a full hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus.

In November 2018, he had a phalloplasty of which he is still recovering from."

Lyslie has documented his transition on Tumblr, and helps others going through their transitions.

His mother added: “I know when he was in college and there were kids up there that were having issues and somehow they had found Lyslie through his Tumblr and they asked him if he could come and speak to these students and help them feel comfortable.

“He could be a good motivational person.”

Apparently on testosterone since February 2013 (so 13 years old)

So Lyslie's primary reason for wanting to be a man is ''I have never liked a guy in my whole entire life. I like girls ...".

And that was written at the age of 11?

Apparently you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans.
Someone needs to tell the world heath organisation.

Being a teenage girl is just shit. Lets just make it less shit rather than making girls think it'll all go away if they turn into boys.

And why did no one ever tell Lyslie she could like girls and be a girl?

That stood out to me as well. Poor child, feeling they’ve disappointed their mother. The whole thing just seems really sad.

Every time I read something like this I'm left thinking 'There must be something I'm missing, or something that's just too complicated to put in a short newspaper article' but even in the really long articles I've seen nobody ever seems to be able to express what's going on beyond 'I'm not like all the other girls/boys' and 'I'm not attracted to boys/girls' and then this sudden jump to 'But it all makes sense now I know I've been born in the wrong body and doctors can fix it'.

So I'm left with the tentative conclusion that the thought processes of a very young, immature mind go like this:

I want to play with the truck and climb that tree but Mum/Dad/Gran/the other kids/teacher says girls don't play with trucks and climb trees, those are things boys do

I don't like dolls and dressing up and playing house, but Mum/Dad/Gran/the other kids/teacher says girls like all those things - but boys don't, they hate them like I do

I hate wearing dresses and skirts and I want to have my hair short because it's more comfortable and practical but Mum/Dad/Gran/the other kids/teacher says girls have long hair and wear pretty clothes - boys don't, though, they get to be like I want to be

Why do I like all the things that boys like and I don't like the things that girls like? Why do people keep saying things like 'She should have been a boy! What a tomboy she is! You'd never think she was a girl, would you? Ha ha, she doesn't want to be Lulu, she wants us to call her Lew! She really wants everybody to think she's a boy, doesn't she? Just wait till she's older, no way of hiding it when she's got a figure! Ha ha ha ...'

Not a great reach to see how a young child could think 'If only I had been a boy' and that slowly turns into 'I should have been a boy' and then 'I was meant to be a boy but something went wrong'.

The heartbreaking thing is that instead of talking to the child and her family and explaining that there is nothing wrong with her, she can do all those things and still be a girl, many professional people are now advising her family that she's right, she was meant to be a boy, and they can sort it all out with hormones and surgery. And the family are accepting it because it's what the doctor says, and/or it seems easier than changing their and their community's whole world view about gender stereotypes.

That Tumblr has made me cry. It is heartbreaking

I’d put money on most people’s mental picture of homophobia being something directed at gay men.

And the appalling lesbophobia that leads us here goes completely unnoticed.

Apparently you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans.
Someone needs to tell the world heath organisation.

Remember the AMA on here recently? We were told by a baseball bat wielding transwoman that many trans people have gender euphoria, as opposed to dysphoria, meaning that they get a great feeling from presenting as the opposite sex. You only have to think about that for a moment to realise what gender euphoria looks like.

I wore thick jumpers to hide my boobs which started growing when I got my periods at 9. I hated the attention they drew.

That is the most frightening element. Professional bodies with the power to help are pushing the trans agenda. We used to take the treatment of mental health conditions seriously, now we treat them by saying our kids are defective and they need to take drugs and change their names and clothes to fix it.
