Heartbreaking detransition story describes ‘trauma’ caused by gender confusion
Life Site News ^ | September 30, 2022 | Andreas Wailzer

(LifeSiteNews) — Jalisa Vine gives a heartbreaking testimony on how gender surgeries ruined her life in a “detransition diary” video series where she talks about how her medical “transition” from female to male permanently damaged her and how she is now trying to detransition and accept herself for who she really is.

The description of Vine’s introduction video reads “Born female, at the age of 18 I began medically transitioning. 8 years later- after hormones, and several surgeries, I am now detransitioning.”

The detransitioner describes how traumatic experiences led to her decision to medically transition. “The majority of my life so far has been a trauma response. My whole identity has been rooted in trauma,” Vine explained. “It’s really hard to look in the mirror and love myself right now.”

“My transition was a trauma response,” Vine concluded.

“It’s like mourning an entire life that should have been mine. That was my birthright,” Vine stated in the first entry of her detransition diary that has over 270,000 views.

“I don’t know how this happened to me. And I’m just so angry and I’m so sad. I just don’t know how this happened. Like a virus or something, it just like, infected me, that happened so quickly,” she says while sitting on her bed and crying. “Why did I do that? None of this makes any sense. I should have waited to let myself heal. I can’t have kids … ”

“I don’t want to use the word ‘indoctrinated,’ but I was young and I was sad and I was impressionable, and I thought that this would fix everything,” Vine lamented. “I had bottom surgery. There’s no fixing it, there is no getting better. I have to live like this for the rest of my life.”

Vine continued her emotional testimony by saying the following:

As a woman who thought she was trans … and transitioned. Live as trans for 8 years, had top surgery, full hysterectomy, had bottom surgery. Went all the way as far as one can go and then woke up and realized ‘I made the biggest f*** mistake of my life.’”

A comment under the video by user “Hanna N” with over 5,000 likes reads, “The adults and professionals should not have allowed this to happen to you. I’m sorry. This is the medical scandal of our time.”

In the second entry to her detransition diary titled “I owe you an apology,” Vine revealed that she developed an addiction to pain medication after one of her sex reassignment surgeries. “All the mental health issues I had prior to transitioning were still there, probably worse, a lot worse,” she stated.

Vine described why it took her such a long time to realize that transitioning was a mistake:

I think I was painting the picture online that transitioning was making my life happy, but that was not what was happening off camera. I think I wanted to believe that transitioning was making my life better. I had just invested all of this time, money, and energy into transitioning, I did not want it to be the wrong choice. Something so big, so irreversible. I did not want that to be wrong. So, it took me a long time to accept that transitioning didn’t solve any of my problems, and did not make me feel more like myself. It actually made me feel further from myself.

“I did portray it online that transitioning was the best thing that ever happened to me. It wasn’t. And I’m sorry,” Vine continued. “Changing my external world did not change my internal world.”

Her third entry is named “my body was never the problem” and the detransitioner explained in it how her mental state was the real issue and not her body.

“I wanted to be a boy, so I did everything that boys do, but I don’t know what it is actually like to be a man. I only have this experience of a female emulating a man,” Vine stated.

“I needed to accept myself and my body for who and what I was, and there was never an issue with who I was,” she continued. “There was never any need to change anything about my body. My body was never the issue. My thinking was the issue.”

Vine went on the reveal how “a lot of the problems were made worse by transitioning.”

“Transitioning took me further from my truth, further from who I am, and further from self-acceptance. It was like running for something that I could never catch,” Vine explained.

A growing number of detransitioners have publicly come out with their stories of regret over their decision to have gender surgeries and hormone therapies. The upcoming documentary “Affirmation generation” tells the story of six of these detransitioners. Matt Walsh’s viral movie “What is a woman?” also dealt with this issue. Furthermore, the Detransition Subreddit “r/detrans” has grown tremendously over the past couple of years and now almost has 40,000 members. This site exists for detransitioner to share their experiences with others and look for help after discovering that their decision to medically transition was a mistake.

These doctors should pay the price for doing this.

It’s all about money. It’s disgusting.

My feeling about Matt Walsh and his crew is if it’s so important to see, remove the paywall.

BTW, if mental illness is defined by the distance between our perception of reality and actual reality, we are all insane to some degree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let’s just say it perhaps is a moving target. I have regular contact with a person who was quite cognitively there a year or so ago but is on a daily basis now somehow distorting very simple messages to the point where many things now have to put down in writing so that one can go back later to say “no, that’s not what was said, that’s not what was planned, that’s not what was agreed on etc.”. As these things go, they don’t get better with the passage of time… at least when a person is in say the last half of their life….

The issue of mental illness is certainly a big topic and the roots of it are quite varied. I think that there is a tendency to classify all types of mental illness as something that originates inside the person him/herself in a physical/mental way… and this runs the gamut of causes such as chemical imbalances, trauma, abuse by others. As a Christian, it certainly is part of what I know and believe that there is a huge spiritual factor and ‘unseen world’ that plays a huge role in the psyche of the individual…. And I suspect that role is so huge that it plays the major, not a minor role. Many very mentally disturbed people have turned their lives over to God and accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their mental problems disappeared. I’m oft reminded of these verses in Ephesians 6…
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

While these verses are slightly out of context because they apply to those who are Christians already, they clearly describe the battle with the unseen spirit world that is very real and it is even more likely to be affecting those who have no Godly spiritual grounding and anchor at all. People sometime forget that Luke was a doctor as well as a disciple of Christ and much of the Book of Luke is written from that perspective. The words ‘unclean spirits’ come up over and over in Luke…. Here is one passage in Luke 8 about this…
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

Finally, Romans 1 in verses 22 to 32 describes those who leaned on their own ‘smarts, wisdom and desires’ and can be basically paraphrased like this… Mankind has free will and if you want to reject me you are at liberty to do that.... but there will be consequences because you are on your own without me. Verse 24 has to be one of the saddest verses in all of scripture “24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:”

Very well-put and I absolutely agree.

In my statement, if I had replaced "reality" with God (since He IS reality), everything would have been more accurate.

As you say, the more we move toward Him, the saner we get (and vice-versa).

And being filled with the Holy Spirit is a huge leap in that direction.

It could be said that the Holy Spirit leads us toward Reality/Sanity (which is an eternal journey).

Affirms all the reasons Johns Hopkins stopped doing this surgery decades ago.

Very sad story. It is unbelievable that "doctors" would encourage this.

The Selective Service isn’t confused, is it.

Biological male trannies have to register.

Biological female trannies do not.

Guess Deep State really does know what a woman is, eh?

I used to live in NYC and, on weekends (when not dressed in a suit and tie), would occasionally stop and talk to homeless people (of which there were plenty).

Some were just down and out, some perhaps struggling with addiction. But some were (clearly?) possessed.

As a side note, those who I thought were possessed didn't exhibit or manifest when I spoke with them, but when you listened to them talk of their experiences, you could hear a kind of non-spoken background noise that was, well, lurking (for lack of a better word).

Of course, there were some of this crowd who were just incomprehensible. Drugs/alcohol, insanity, possession...or some combination thereof.

Side note: As a former drinker, I used to accompany a girl I was dating to her AA meetings. Some of the stories I heard there were reminiscent of what I used to hear from street people.

People who live sheltered lives behind "white picket fences" have no idea what is out there.

alisa Vine gives a heartbreaking testimony on how gender surgeries ruined her life

So what? A pot addict develops marijuana induced psychosis, lung cancer, early onset dementia and then whines about having listened to stupid libertarians and how harmless pot is.

Actions have consequences. Is it our fault some people (fags, libertarians, dope addicts) are stupid?

I can’t wrap my mind around this stuff. Didn’t it used to be very rare for someone to believe they were the wrong sex and especially to go all the way to having surgery for it? This person says it’s like a virus. That is interesting. I feel for people like this. It’s a terrible thing to live with such a drastic mistake.
but I just don’t understand where this phenomenon is stemming from.

I am a very ugly woman. There are many of us out there. When I was pre teen I remember looking in a mirror and noticing I have Dad’s large masculine features. I pulled my hair back and looked again, I thought I would make a better looking boy than girl. I let my hair fall back down and didn’t think about that again for years. Lucky for me there was no pervert there trying to convince me to change my gender! I didn’t think about that moment again until I heard about kids wanting to change their gender. They are being led astray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.. “I wanted to be a boy, so I did everything that boys do, but I don’t know what it is actually like to be a man. I only have this experience of a female emulating a man,” Vine stated...”

THIS is at the core of the entire madness. No matter what a person does, it is not POSSIBLE to become the opposite sex.

There are shades and variations of masculinity and femininity. Think of a dozen men and women, girls and boys you know. Maybe this woman enjoys keeping her home, maybe her sister is a truck driver. Maybe this little boy is especially kindhearted while his older brother is a carpenter. Shades..variations. I was a “tomboy” as a girl. I ran around with the boys. As I grew older I still liked the boys;) I also started feeling like a girl- and it was nice.

Kids are individuals- their bodies change, hormones kick in. To stop the natural cycle of maturing into adult men and women is lunacy. This is a wicked and vile idea that is and will, result in thousands of miserable, angry and confused adults.
