6.7 What It's Like to Transition
One consequence of a girl identifying as a boy and using a boys bathroom is she might be assaulted in the boys bathroom. That's what happened to a girl named Sage.
The person in the video below was born a biological girl and says there's no going back. She had testosterone for 5 years.
Helena Kirschner speaks about what transitioning did to her below.
A whistleblower, Jamie Reed, who used to work at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, wrote an expose in 2023 calling such treatments "morally and medically appalling." She said: "if a child says they're trans there's no questioning it. We just say, 'Yep, you're trans, what would you like?'" She also said that "We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries."
Chloe Cole underwent surgery to become a male and then detransitioned back to becoming a female. Unfortunately she had her breasts removed because she wanted to be male and now she wants to be able to breast feed future children and can't get them back. She speaks about what she went through below. She said "No child should have to experience what I have".Instagram restricted Chloe's account claiming her bio encourages violence. The bio is:
"chooocole, Chloe Cole, 19, female (XX), former trans kid, started T [testosterone] & [puberty] blockers at 13, Double Mastectomy at 15, detransed at 16, chloecolespeakinginquiries@gmail.com."
Where does the bio say to get violent?
Cole describes the doctors who cut off her breasts and the therapists who convinced her to do so as "butchers and liars." She gave a speech in Aug 29 2023 in California which she posted to her Instagram account in which she said "It has ruined my life and I will never be the same. I will never get those years that I was supposed to be growing and thriving back."
No doubt many who read about the horrors done to Chloe Cole get angry, maybe some get angry enough to be violent, does that mean that Chloe's speech should be restricted or does it mean that therapists who lie to patients and doctors who cut off their breasts should be restricted from doing so? The left in our country tries to silence people who speak truths they don't want others to hear. Instagram has locked me out of my account and I have no idea why. Meta's Facebook that owns Instagram engages in a lot of censorship as well.
Robyn Dolgin in an article titled Transgender Lawsuits Reveal Horror of Procedures wrote how surgeons when they discuss surgery with children:
"spend little to no time explaining the possibility of complicated infections, enduring difficulty in urinating or destroying hopes of physical intimacy. And most patients are blind-sided by the pain having not fully understood the consequences of multiple incisions altering a complex network of tissues, nerves, and muscles. Such graphic details are left out of the warm-fuzzy discussions adolescents have with their therapists about leading a happier life. "
She writes how many people who regret having undergone surgery are warning children not to make the same mistake by
"allowing themselves to be photographed revealing post-surgical body parts with the implied message of “don’t let this happen to you.” Such horrific photographs expose extensive scarring from skin grafts (mostly skin removed from forearms to create a penis) and extreme disfigurement from pockets of fat left behind in “top surgeries.”
Parents have often been told that if their child doesn't have transgender surgery they'll commit suicide. Joseph Ford Cotto wrote the following in the American Thinker:
UCLA’s Williams Institute discovered that 42 percent of transgender adults in America have attempted suicide, while 28 percent drink dangerously and 31 percent suffer debilitating drug usage. Over half of transgender adults— 56 percent — have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury at some point in their lives. Nearly half, 44 percent, reported experiencing suicidal thoughts in the recent past, with 7 percent having made a suicide attempt. 21 percent reported recent self-injury. Furthermore, 82 percent of transgender adults have sought formal mental health services, a striking contrast to just 47 percent of “cisgender” adults. Roughly one in four transgender individuals turned to nontraditional sources of help such as religious leaders or alternative medicine, a higher share than the 20 percent of non-transgender adults who did the same.
What advice does Helena have to help others from falling in the transition trap?
