One of Britain’s most famous transgender personalities is swapping genders for the third time in eight years.
Brad Cooper became the U.K.’s youngest person to undergo a gender swap at only 15 years old, when he claimed he believed he was a girl stuck in a boy’s body. Doctors began pumping Brad’s body full of hormone therapy to stop puberty and trigger breast growth, sparking a widespread debate on whether 15 was too young for a person to make such a life-altering medical decision.
Turns out that it just might be. According to a profile in the U.K. Mirror, the hormone replacements started playing with Brad’s mental health like a yo-yo. Despite saying he was supported at home, and having become a socially-hailed poster child for gender-bending, over the next three years Brad would attempt suicide twice, get into drugs, wind up in abusive relationships and experiment with prostitution before finally quitting the hormones. He himself recalled:
“The puberty blockers and hormones made me moody and angry, I was all over the place. My mum supported me, but I moved out and went wild, drinking and taking drugs to cope with being different. I made so many mistakes.”
Just before his 18th birthday, only three years after first beginning the “transition” into becoming a woman, Brad – who was at this point going by Ria – declined to go through sex-reassignment surgery and switched back to being Brad, explaining he wasn’t able to cope with his new life as a woman.
But now, Brad claims it wasn’t just the hormones that had him all screwed up – it was the people around him who made him doubt himself.
Now, at 23 years old, Brad has again decided he wants to officially become a woman. He’s already spent £5,000 on size 34EE breast implants, and plans on undergoing sex reassignment surgery next year. He's also been heavily criticized for spending buckets of taxpayer cash on his first abandoned “transition,” so he now says he’ll pay for the surgery himself.
But deciding to switch genders again still hasn’t put an end to Brad’s problems. Thanks to his gender identity, he claims he still has a hard time holding down a job or finding a stable, non-violent romantic relationship with a man – because shocking, not all straight men think dating a guy whose penis has been removed is the same thing as dating a woman. Still, Brad says he hopes he’ll find a steady relationship, saying he’d like to have a child of his own someday – though, of course, he plans to play a more maternal role.
Of course, while any person with more than three functioning brain cells can see Brad is a terribly confused individual struggling with some debilitating mental health issues, the British left is once again hailing his decision to become a woman as a brave, pioneering foray into embracing one's true self. Just listen to how his story is discussed on This Morning, a popular British morning show:
So, to recap: a 15-year-old boy with a mental health illness was denied psychological help and encouraged in his self-destructive delusion, pumped full of body-altering drugs only to wind up even more unhappy, found himself strung out, depressed and suicidal, decided to give his own biological body another shot, is still wildly unhappy, and is now in a continual ping-pong battle between who he is and who he thinks he is, all because an “inclusive” society would rather watch someone spiral into madness than address the obvious mentally ill elephant in the room.
It all sounds so wonderfully compassionate, doesn't it?
DANG!
He’ll remind me of some of the Camaros kids drove at my high school: more Bondo than original metal.
I hope he saves the extra parts in a pickle jar up on the shelf in case wants 4th shot at getting it right.
AS LONG AS HE, SHE, IT PAYS FOR IT THEM SELF THEY CAN SWITCH EVERY WEEK.
How much do bullets cost?
Doesn’t it hurt? Doesn’t it get expensive?
That's a shocker.

Just make him a eunuch. Clean slate. He’s lost any rights to reproduce.
What say you?
Must really be a woman...it can’t make up its mind.
Mr/Ms Garrison? Is that you?
That’s because your gender fluid needs to be changed every 3 months or 3,000 miles.
How can what is described here be considered a true and ethical practice of medicine? Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be done. This guy is a bigger mess now than when he started off.
We must all respect his lifestyle choices.
Anyone who accidently forgets which pronoun to use when referring to him/her will face the possibility of criminal prosecution.
The only reason the left is pushing transgender children is because allowing children to choose genders is quite close to granting them sexual preference as well, which then opens up the door for pedophiles to argue that they’re just helping with the child’s own sexual desire.
That’s a very unnatural and unhealthy looking bloat that this person is presenting with, I’d be looking for the underlying cause of that before undergoing any questionable, elective body-altering surgery that may or may not turn out to be what this person wants in the end. This person may end up dying on the operating table, it really doesn’t look right.
This is what happens when you fail to change your gender-fluid every 30,000 miles... otherwise you will wreck your tranny....
