Jazz Jennings Speaks Out After Gender Confirmation Surgery, Reveals She Suffered a Complication
People ^ | 10/16/2018 | Karen Mizoguchi

Jazz Jennings turned a dream she had since age 2 into a reality this past June.

The I Am Jazz star, who was born male but identifies as female, reflected on her gender confirmation surgery during an interview with ABC News that was filmed nine weeks after the life-changing operation which she called “the final step of transitioning.”

“It was like a dream. It was,” Jennings, 18, told Nightline‘s Juju Chang in the sit-down that aired on Monday. “This is a moment that I had always envisioned and just experiencing it was so surreal. I was like I can’t believe this is happening.”

Jennings also recalled a specific conversation she had with her mother. “When I was 2 years old, I went up to my mom and asked her, ‘When is the good fairy going to come with her magic wand and change my penis into a vagina?'” she said.(snip)

While she describes the surgery as a dream, the reality star revealed that she did suffer a complication and had to endure a second procedure.

“There was just an unfortunate event and setback where things did come apart, and there was a complication,” Jennings recalled. “I had to come back in for another procedure, but it was just all part of the journey. The good thing though is that it was only cosmetic and external so it wasn’t too dramatic.”

This absolutely never happened. There is no way a two year old child ever said such a thing. This statement is diagnostic of mental illness and dishonesty.

When she confronts you about this, and I’m pretty sure it will come up some day, by hook or crook, you need to tell her in your most sincere, respectful tone of voice what you said here, that you love her very much, but you don’t see it her way on the LGBT issue. At some point, you might try to explain your point of view without getting excited or upset about it. Reasonable people should be mature enough to agree to disagree. I wish you the best!

Transgengered people who have completed their surgeries are TEN TIMES more likely to commit suicide than people who are not transgendered.

At least 10 separate studies have been done on this subject (reported by USA Today 8/16/2015). Suicide rate for transgenders is about 41%.

Yep, no one is helping him by helping to perpetuate his delusion. All he’s doing is running away from himself, which any real psychologist would say is not healthy.

No two year old child has the ability to form and express abstract thoughts re changing genders. That was total BS.

My 9 year old grandson went through a phase when he was around 4 years old, he said he wanted to be a shark when he grew up. This went on for about a year. Eventually he realized he could not grow up to be a shark.

I think the use of “snip” at that point is what is being questioned.

I watched a few of the I Am Jazz TV shows years ago with this kid (house hunting and stuck in an Extended Stay hotel with about 5 channels) and they were already giving him hormones to suppress puberty. He was/is far too young to have made such a life-altering decision. I have to wonder if his parents were just as messed up letting him "identify" as a girl from a little kid. I wonder how much money they were paid to do the show? I have no doubt they will all regret their actions in the long run. It's sad.

More 5W fail. I can’t determine who this person is and why abc would be bothered to do an interview.

Lol - exactly. What a pant load (in more ways than one).
