A real study is long overdue. They’re still parroting the “more people regret knee replacement surgery“ argument which is based on incredibly poor research. I believed that a few years ago myself until I actually read the study myself.
This is Massive!
We do seem to be heading in the right direction in Britain after the release of the Cass Report. It’s great to see.
The difficult part to explain is that some of them are abused. Some of them are just neurotic. Some of them are following trends. Some of them are horny, or watching too much anime, or being groomed or Munchausen-by-proxied.
In the video the lady mentions prolapse as a symptom of hormone treatment. Never heard of this symptom before. Here's a relevant publication, with oestrogen as the hormone:
Bingo!
I'm always on the fence about these stories. While yes, doctors are arrogant, surgeons tend sociopathic, the medical system is a shambles, and any "provider" who specializes in "gender" is going to be especially vile, a lot of detrans have the same mental problems that caused them to trans in the first place, and are likely indulging in certain cluster B behaviors and distortions that make them especially tiresome to deal with. And makes them prone to spin up dramatic tales.View attachment 6322909
If it was me I wouldn't have gone back to see a plastic surgeon. I would have just cut my losses and figured that getting even more cosmetic surgery is just making the problem even worse. Still it's strange to see just how strong of a negative reaction this girl got. I always figured plastic surgeons are a pretty amoral lot, but here she seems to have had some sort of moral outrage at the idea of treating a detransitioner. Possibly because she didn't want to think about how many more people like this she is creating.
This is an interesting story. Your furry here did the "omg totally trans, everyone pay attention to me" ==> "omg totally detrans, everyone pay attention to me" flip we've been talking about, in a fraction of the time, It sounds like it was so fast he didn't have a chance for hormones and surgery to regret, although nothing was still learned.
Many of us already know what the genesis of trans issues are: people who lack power or unique qualities and can't get respect based on being themselves, because they suck.
Maybe I'm taking this personally because I did id as trans for a little bit. But I think there is an overlap between an underdeveloped identity in trans people and having had narcissistic parents, who would have sublimated their child's developing personality and independence in favour of keeping the focus on themselves; I don't think it's a coincidence that this trans phenomenon is taking off in the children of the boomer generation, the literal 'me generation' and historically narcissistic, combined with the internet where all the previously socially isolated kids can get together and develop their own social phenomenon that snowballs. Plus, having a narcissist for a parent means you yourself most likely turn out to be a narcissist or an enabler - and the trans cult is 100% narcissism and or enabling narcissism all the time. So yeah they suck but they were dealt a bad hand alongside a bunch of historical crises and economic turmoil which made it hard to overcome their initial disadvantages.
This is an intensely intriguing theory. Worth its own thread.
Just to bad most people won't see them because media has invested interest in not talking about it. I'm also wondering if were seeing more people detransitioning now because it's becoming very unpopular to be trans, especially now, with Kris stuff. I've been seeing more people hate trans community in last few months then I have in last years.
Well said.
