Culture #DeTransAwareness Day

Treated at a gender clinic eh?

He didn't find transgender support groups: He found trans-trender groups. They convinced him he had gender dysphoria, and they convinced him to begin transitioning as a silver bullet for his issues.

Yeah, as expected, it went as well as a hungry fox being given unrestricted access to a chicken coup.

I can't help but think that these groups do it more for their own self-affirmation than they do to actually "help" anyone.

A great many things make much more sense if you view them as religions, often by people with spiritual leanings who are conditioned to think religion is evil and thus create their own I-can't-believe-it's-not-religion that does the same thing except for having a social concept in place of a deity. One can even see a parallel to the clergy-laity divide (Listen to the science! Do not question scientists!) and aggressive proselytism to get more converts.

You see these religionoids* pop up a lot in areas where people are forced to shun religion by social pressure. Religion is a basic human need and we're hardwired for it, people who don't have it will find a way to get a substitute. See: Eliezer Yudkowski's "Rationalism" which manages to treat science as a god, Bayesian logic as worship, miraculous powers granted by sufficient rationalism, and even has its own heaven and hell via a future godlike AI (Yudkowski implies he will create via his powers of rationalism) that will reward the faithful and torture the unrighteous. Or see how the communists in North Korea, denied normal worship, began to worship the Kims in all but name.

*I like this word. I think I'm going to keep it.

So no Juno 2?

Elliot Page is largely protected from the thing that usually gets most FtM: the sudden shift in other people's behavior towards them.

Most people are going to treat a random female they just met better than they treat a random male, all other things being equal. FtM's usually get gender shock from how people are treating them after they transition.

But because Elliot Page is a celebrity, she's mostly rendered immune to that shift.

The Women's Forum is documenting numerous cases of detransitioners who've received little help from the inclusive, open and supportive professional medical community that profits off of "gender affirming" treatments.

'Detransitioners' Are Being Abandoned By Medical Professionals

Health providers won't help detransitioners who seek to undo the damage of transgender surgery and hormones.

An almost thirty years old (gay) man has come out to reveal how being pressured into transitioning (without his parents knowledge apparently) at a young age ravaged his body.

He took years to reflect before sharing his story and warn against transitioning while still a teenager and stating he was pressured to do it sooner, while he was a gullible teen.



Of course TransActivists mocked and ridiculed and doubted his story so he made a gut wrenching video about it



Like he said, he looks and sounds like an estrogenized, androgynous teenage boy. This is in spite of stopping the transition process at the age of 18, roughly a decade ago.

Just writing this post I did have to literal check my pronouns because I referred to him as a girl subconsciously.

EDIT:

He deleted his account soonafter. Here's an article that preserved some of the discussion.

Detransitioner posts video to prove he's not a 'fake public aggravator' trying to erase trans people

Here's who they're really trying to erase.

The face, the voice... yeah, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was a she. The voice sells it.

This poor bastard -- and he's even being roasted by weirdos in the comments, calling him fake because he's a living testament that their ideology is fucking repulsive and cult-like.

That's honestly terrifying. I mean, I've seen a lot of really bad, and good, looking transitions, but I'm guessing that this guy was likely destined to be a bit more androgynously to begin with and then took hormones during puberty. Kind of the worst of all worlds.

I have to wonder in situations like this if you could take male hormones (probably not the kinds used in weight lifting) to try to reverse some of the damage. Lengthen vocal cords at least.

Probably not. Guy is 30+ right? So he's done growing. Hormones, might get his T a little higher. Which might be a good thing...low T can lead to depression in men.

Taking T tends to lengthen vocal cords in grown women who transition, doesn't it?

I'd think the same thing would apply here.

I was not aware of that, and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Listen to audio from de-trans'd women and they have really deep voices. Apparently vocal cords can get longer but not shorter.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Yeah from his replies it looks like he's looking into getting some sort of testosterone treatment since he can't produce it himself since he was basically castrated completely during his initial transition.

Yeesh 😬. Slipped my mind that that was part of the process. Certainly wouldn't help with looking effeminate.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Not even a senior yet in High School, Ashtyn Eskridge talking about how she started to transition as treatment for other mental health issues thanks to online influencers and irresponsible medical 'professionals.'



She was only 15 and despite detransitioning a few years later, some of the changes that have been made on her body by the chemical treatments alone are apparently permanent.

 

[Jormungandr]

That poor girl.
