Texas Children's Hospital were the hospital with 2 whistleblowers.

First, they were announcing that they were not doing paediatric gender treatment when they actually were.

Second was that they got around the medical insurance by registering the children as the wrong sex, and the diagnosis was that their hormones were low, so needed hormones to be at a normal level. Which is fraud.

No depths they won’t stoop to when harming children. Unboundaried people will commit all sorts of transgressions.

Nope - you’re not a woman as defined in law. Not in UK, not in the majority of the EU and definitely not in the rest of the world.

You’re a man and if you died without ID a coroner would know you’re a man. People who interact with you know you’re a man.

People may collude with your mental health issues but that doesn’t make you a woman.

Mental ill health doesn’t allow me to self identify into another race, age, disability status, religion.

Why anyone thought they’d erode sex based rights is beyond me. But the correction is happening.

You may have certificated ‘gender reassignment’ but saying you changed sex shows the depth of your self delusion.

This is a belief, not reality.

I don't have a certificated 'gender reassignment.' Government administration had nothing to do with 'gender' when my birth certificate was changed.

"hypogonadism" has been used since I transitioned.

We seem to have forgotten about the detransitioners.

Of course, there’s a reason why they are a subject carefully avoided by some. They give the lie to the fantasy construct that is genderism.

Obviously I hate to agree with Trump but I do think the gender affirmation model has been incredibly damaging to children. The easy prescribing of puberty blockers then, almost inevitably, cross sex hormones can cause infertility and other permanent changes.

I do think children who are trans identifying need therapy not medicating as many of them will turn out to be gay or autistic. I think the Cass report recommended “watchful waiting” which sounds sensible.

I note the clinic will be free for a year but many of the effects from cross sex hormones (osteoporosis for example) will be lifelong and will insurers be willing to pay long term?

Why do you hate to agree with Pres.Trump? He lived up to all his promises to women his first day in office, the Federal govt sticking to a biological definition of women, Title IX to only refer to women not trans, stopping the federal funding of gender transition.
I'm a conservative but there are plenty of left Democratic women who appreciate what he's done.

If this was true, imagine the harm more than one person just living life could do to the gender critical crusade.

Presumably the same reason threads are derailed by personal anecdotes rather than addressing the catastrophic harm that's happened to so many children and young people.

This Is pretty funny actually.

No. The statement around detransitioners is relevant because it shows the ideological flaws that are highlighted by material reality rolling on despite any person’s ‘beliefs’. That is why you point is laughable.

There is no equivalence between a male person who demands people treat him as if he is female when there is no material reality to that claim and the experience of a person who once believed they were the opposite sex and then realised they can never be the opposite sex so re-established their identity to fit the material reality of their sex category in all that category’s body variations.

A person demanding to be treated as if they are the opposite sex to what they materially are, in no way disrupts material reality which simply abides despite all the attempts by that person to force their choices as being material reality.

A person demanding others treat them as if they are the opposite aex to what they materially are, is never going to be supported by material reality. Them making their declarations has no negative impact on the opinions of those who don’t believe those male people are female in any way or vice versa.

Detransitioners can be said to show one pathway where material reality reasserts itself. Whereas a male person who ignores female people’s boundaries and accesses female single sex provisions and demands use of female language, is quite the opposite.

Those male people are demanding female people ignore material reality’s existence in their demand for people to believe their individual subjective reality claims.

It is completely illogical to make this comparison.

sickofsixseven · 16/05/2026 23:55

Biological sex isnt a "belief", its a fact. Its delusional to think otherwise. It's impossible for humans to change sex. Some people might find that hard to take, but its the truth. Indulging these delusions is what has led to this mess of children being irreversibly damaged because they are going through a phase and were sold a complete lie.

It's always trans women trying to define and take over womanhood too. I've yet to see a trans man try to claim that they are literally men and have real testicles etc. In fact, many of them still go on to use their female bodies to give birth. That must really make the delusional reality deniers seethe with jealousy.

After beginning oestrogen. I went from 4’10” and 80 lbs to 5’5” and 110 lbs in two years. My bones matured, as expected with oestrogen. Yes, I also grew some breasts. I never grew a beard, my voice never dropped.

So when you went through puberty, you grew and gained wieght, what adolescent human doesn't.
Same thing happened to me only no drugs required just a natural course of events. Manipulating things to bring it to a desired conclusion isn't natural, and what you are is what nature intended you to be despite your attempts to deny it.

This poster has previously said that delayed puberty and the lack of related growth was due to an eating disorder. Cross sex hormones weren’t a magic bullet - going through a normal male puberty would have had the same (or greater) effect.

I thought that poster had previously claimed to have a DSD which stopped them going through a normal male puberty (although there are so many fantasists on here I may be mixing them up with another one).

Taking opposite sex hormones doesn't make someone go through an opposite sex puberty, since by definition, puberty is the process by which the reproductive system reaches maturity. You can't create a mature female reproductive system by filling an immature male body with female hormones.

I think it's more likely that all this is just a complete fantasy of someone who developed a trans identity as an adult.

I had shared a similar view actually - if you can lie and delude yourself about something so fundamental it then must erode other truth telling and accepting processes.

The level of collusion it must have taken to admit young girls (2/3 of transitioned) and commit body part removal on their young bodies to address mental distress.

Having lived experience of hospital experiences - I would do anything to avoid that for my child as it won’t resolve the mental distress.

Thankfully we have medical research that confirms cutting into children to support a belief system rather like female genital mutilation isn’t actually healthy or medically sound.

This is a belief, not reality.

I don't have a certificated 'gender reassignment.' Government administration had nothing to do with 'gender' when my birth certificate was changed.

If in the UK you have a limited grasp of the law. Changing birth certificates are because you have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and EU law said to aid you legal state documents must be falsified to address your mental distress.

Worth a read. Might help you understand how we got here and how such a minority have been facilitated.

I wonder how easily birth certificates are changed back when someone’s mental distress is addressed and they ‘de-transition’?

SexRealistic · 17/05/2026 05:08

For these these children who have matured and realised the harm done to them - I do hope they get the support they need to overcome the ohysival and mental trauma.

As we know the vast majority of people who ‘transition’ don’t actually follow any legal process I.e. GRC. I wonder if there is a legal de-transition process.

It’s as much a human right as gender reassignment so I wonder how legislation and processes account for that. I know it will change state by state and country by country.

This poster has previously said that delayed puberty and the lack of related growth was due to an eating disorder. Cross sex hormones weren’t a magic bullet - going through a normal male puberty would have had the same (or greater) effect.

Peak Height Velocity (PHV): The most rapid growth phase occurs between ages 12 and 15, with peak velocity often hitting around 3.5 to 3.7 inches (9 to 9.5 cm) in a single year.

So to grow 7 inches in two years is normal pubertal growth for male puberty. Add on the catch up effect of the cessation of an eating disorder and proper transition and that’s maybe on the lower side.

I went from 4’10” and 80 lbs to 5’5” and 110 lbs in two years.

Peak Growth Spurt (Ages 12–16): This is the period of most rapid change. Boys can gain up to 15lbs to 20lbs in a single 12-month period.

So average male pubertal growth.

The estrogen may have assisted in the weight gain too.

Well since trans men are men - then men can give birth.

And trans women used to be men so they must be able to give birth.

That follows trans fantasy logic. 🧐

This does not sound like contrition:

“Today, we made the difficult decision to settle with the Texas Attorney General and the Department of Justice, closing a chapter that has been wrought with falsehoods and distractions,” the hospital said in a statement. “To be clear — we are settling to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation. This settlement will allow us to redirect those precious resources to focus on the life-saving care and groundbreaking discoveries of our exceptional clinicians and scientists.”
In response to questions from NBC News about the type of care the clinic will provide, a spokesperson for the hospital said, “The detransition clinic will formalize the supportive, multidisciplinary services we already deliver to all patients who need our care.”
It’s unclear who will lead or staff the clinic. The hospital declined to provide details about the terminated employees, saying, “Our top priority throughout this settlement discussion was around protecting our physicians.”

The transwoman I saw yesterday must have been on lots of oestrogen, then, because once he stood up I saw he was approximately 6’ 4” (and totally male physique apart from the incongruous looking breasts). Initially he was sitting down (in the hairdresser’s) but I clocked him immediately. No problem, it’s a unisex salon and he seemed perfectly pleasant, but very noticeable.

Then you'll be thrilled to hear osteoporosis isn't a side effect of taking gender affirming hormones, nor is there any reason it would be, since sex hormones protect bone health.

Except research and the experiences of those who do have osteoporosis because if gender affirming 'care'

SexRealistic · 17/05/2026 09:12

Anyone know if there is a reverse de-transition process?

Legally how do you correct the record as it were legally?
