So if there are 99 happy transitioners and 1 unhappy transitioner does this make surgical transition a good thing for children?

We need to define happy really.

Wouldn't we assume that someone allegedly happy being incontinent, not being able to raise their arms above their heads having crumbling spines at 15 and having to spend their whole life dilating an open wound so it didn't heal, would not really be of sound mind ?

How are you measuring happy and over what time frame? Could their”happiness” have been achieved in a manner that didn’t cause life long medical issues (both physical and mental) not to mention cost both financial and societal

We want trans people to have the best healthcare possible just like everyone else

In order to have the absolute best healthcare possible, the fact that their natal sex is their sex is really important to aknowledge.

This lying is so damaging and misleading.

Whatwouldscullydo · 16/06/2023 20:15

If trans people and activists truly believed it was the best care then they'd not shut down every study, investigation, meeting, discussion etc. Why be so afraid, I mean none of it would prove otherwise right ?

Because with the opposition, well it all looks more " misery loves company "

Whatwouldscullydo · 16/06/2023 20:20

And what other medical treatment is the responsibility of anyone else beyond drs and family ?

If something doesn't work without the coerced involvement from non consenting members of the public would that not indicate that perhaps theres an issue?

Has anyone watched Louis Theroux's trans kids in America documentary? It was heartbreaking and horrifying in equal measure. 10 year old children on puberty blockers. One little girl was on the injections and rapidly becoming masculised. How in gods name are they allowed to do this?

Thank you for posting this . It is a very strange programme . Sad but also not quite what I expected , everyone seems so laid back about things as if it’s the most normal thing in the world . Being a girl just seems to mean make up and feminine clothes . Which boys can do anyway ? And it is not until later that the trans girl realises hormones make you feel strange and who is going to want to date basically a boy with breasts. But they are on the journey so how do you get off ?
ALso the surgeries , the medical people talk about them as if it’s the most natural thing. Have whatever ( you can pay for) and it will be fully functional ?

smoke and mirrors that’s what it is .

follow the money .

Define happy ? How will they know if they would had been happy without surgery or hormones and perhaps just a gay person ?

I still don’t get it because we live in a time where people can wear what they want and sleep with any consenting adult and basically be themselves without surgery and hormones.

The concept of what is feminine and masculine is so much more blurred without being sold a lie .

@Whatwouldscullydo , @OMG12

I clearly didn't express myself very well. What I meant was how many people who are 'happy' with their transition - whatever 'happy' means - are required to justify one kid who is thinking 'my life has been completely fucked up and cannot be unfucked'? Is it 10, 100 or 1,000? Or is it: No, the risk of just one fucked up kid is too great a risk to consider this treatment for children.

This treatment should never be carried out on children they have not got the cognitive ability to make a fully informed decision

I have read articles which say that taking hormones to delay and reduce male puberty can cause huge problems later if the boy wants to have surgery to create a “vagina”because there simply isn’t enough penile tissue to use for the operation.

Well of course they can’t actually create a vagina, but the fake one is “better” if they have more of the skin of the penis. Basically they create a type of hole. Which is like an open wound. This then constantly tries to heal, so closing, and the boy has to insert a type of dildo into it every day to keep it from closing up. This is what they did to Jazz Jennings. Because of the hormones Jazz had to have several corrective surgeries as the first one was a disaster.

After the surgery the trans person discovers that hetro men are not interested in them because they are biologically male with a fake vagina, gay men like penis so they are missing that, lesbians don’t consider them a woman. They can’t reproduce, and quickly learn it’s not all rainbows and unicorns.

This is the bit that never seems to be explained adequately to young people embarking on 'transition'. That they will greatly reduce their chance of finding a partner. It's being sold as a way to make them happier in life by changing their bodies, but making them into an infertile facsimile of the opposite sex and impairing their sexual function is unlikely to lead to a happy outcome in the long run.

Another clear reason why trans operations should not be allowed until a person is 18. Hopefully that will become the law.

Just because we can doesn't mean we should.

There are far too many adults who either regret it or have nefarious reasons for it all.

Anyone who wants to destroy their healthy functioning body has problems no surgery can fix. Just no.

Eighteen states have restrictions. From ABC news: "At least 18 states, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Utah have passed laws or policies that restrict gender-affirming care for people under the age of legal majority, which is the threshold for legal adulthood."

I am guessing these are all Republican states. Never did I ever think I would support US Republicans over US Democrats as a UK person looking on
Interesting that some of this dodgy 'transing of kids' started under the Obama Administration and Trump pushed it back a bit, for Biden to re-embrace it all on Day 1 of his election.

Yes I agree, nobody is 'born in the wrong body' and the NHS definitely should not be funding such barbaric unnecessary surgeries at any age.

Most 18 year olds also lack sufficient life experience to truly know the implications of such surgeries. Perhaps best not to offer them at all and definitely not waste public money on them.

Does anyone remember how genetically modified food was demonised successfully in the media by calling it 'Frankenstein food'?
The language around gender surgery needs to be more honest and less sugar-pill coated. It is not 'top surgery' it is the cutting off of both breasts etc

N0 one can seem to agree what it even is. Its NOT born in the wrong body. Its NOT stereotypes. Gender dysphoria dx not required. Its NOT a mental illness. We know alot about what it ISNT but nothing about what it actually is. Why are we operating on people when what they are suffering can't even be defined at a basic level

Helleofabore · 16/06/2023 22:36

I agree with never using ‘top surgery’ again. Name it what it is. An elective double mastectomy for cosmetic purposes.

A double mastectomy that includes all the side effects of a double mastectomy. The tightening of scars, the itchiness of scars, the restriction of movement, the loss of breast function in the future. The pain.

Let’s fucking stop with the minimising. This is a brutal surgery. And it is being glamourised.

Exactly. A drastic and barbaric solution to something indefinable, it should never have been allowed and should be stopped.

I'm just watching it.

None of the kids really seem that bothered. They arent fussed talking about it. None appear to have any significant dysphoria The drs and parents are all projecting shit into them attemptingto justify what's going on. And nothing the kids are doing is anything they couldn't do as the sex they are.

I'm not in the UK. A family member transitioned. They had many, many sessions with a pyschologist before any treatment at all could be started. It was not a matter of turning up and saying that they were a different gender. The parents were initially shocked (major understatement there) but came to accept that their child truly was transgender - yes I understand they tried reasoning, and frankly everything they could think of to convince the child that they were the original gender. They told me they were haunted by the idea of later regrets.

Their child did transition. The child is in a long standing relationship. They have friends. They are doing a post graduate degree. They are happpy. The family pulled together and adopted the new gender, even the grandparents got on board showing an amazingly broad minded side we had never seen before. So far as I know, the young person has not had a single regret a decade later. This is the other side of the story.

This post is the equivalent of reading about someone who has had a dozen consecutive miscarriages and posting about how their relative had healthy triplets after their first time having sex 🙄 Read the fucking room.

The Californian state legislature is apparently in the process of passing a law which will give child services the authority to remove children from parents who refuse to ‘affirm’ their child’s chosen gender. It will be considered child abuse.

This.

Whilst there are obviously parents who push this (Green, Jennings), other parents are being forced to comply.

The nightmare scenario of agreeing to transition your child or lose her/him forever is horrifying.
