In 2012, I sat in a therapist’s office in a veterans’ hospital, defeated. My hands trembled and I couldn’t make eye contact as the words escaped me. I knew saying it out loud would turn my world upside down. I would be giving up my life, my family and the hyper-masculine persona I had spent decades creating. Then I said it: “I’m transgender.”
My conversations with that therapist led me to the medical intervention that ultimately helped me to find my authentic self. My doctor explained that starting hormone replacement therapy would make me infertile and, without hesitation, I signed papers accepting my sterilization as a result of testosterone blockers.
At the same time, a loop seemed to start playing in my mind, with hundreds of voices from my past telling me that transgender people were subhuman. Despite finally taking this first step in affirming myself, at some level I still believed the chorus of family members and acquaintances who had told me that being transgender was wrong. Having internalized these voices, I believed that I shouldn’t — and couldn’t — have children.
Though hormone replacement therapy meant going through puberty again, beginning this journey through gender felt like seeing the sun for the first time. Every experience I had had before starting hormone therapy now seemed clouded in my memory by a layer of artificial masculinity. Each new moment I lived felt enriched by an honesty of expression that most people take for granted. For the first time in my life, I was beginning to love myself.
The excitement led me to swipe right on a photo of a woman named Joanne, biting a fur coat. She was the first person I would love as my true self and the first person to love me back after I transitioned.

Hey, male trannies, an advantage of not having your gonads chopped off is that you can still have children. So don't do it!
I hope their child thrives and sets them straight. "Your are the mother, and you are the father."
This begs the question, which ones are more insane, the damaged and confused people that go to therapists with this, or the therapists?
Screwed up as Hogan’s Goat
Moron in sane stupid liberals
Unfortunately without eternal vigilance they will take over
Us conservative hard working God loving family folks don’t have time to protest to run for office But. we damn well sure better pay attention on who is elected
If we let the morons in New York and California take over where the jam to be run by morons like this
So the nut stored some sperm, the left his wife to go to England
Calls her and finds out she is pregnant?
I am confused. If he is attracted to women and wants to have kids why cut off his wanker?
He is trangender but a lesbian?
I give up
The “therapists”, IMHO...They tell patients already suffering with a gender dysphoria the lie that gender reassignment is real, and not just mutilation and hormone dosing...It’s a business cashing in on the mental anguish of its victim patients...And patients buy in because it’s what so many desperately want to believe and hear from a “doctor”...
Every human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes...The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes; females have a pair of X, and males an X and a Y...Determined at conception...No amount of surgery and hormone “therapy” (or “counseling” for that matter) will ever change that...
Dress and live however you wish, but conceived a male and male you’ll remain...All the rest is an elaborate deception...
Very true. If we as a species survive into the future, this will be looked on as a practice from the dark ages.
I read an article a few months back in the Huffington Post lamenting how the Nazis set back “gender confirmation surgery” by decades when they burned the Sexual Research Institute and the research of Magnus Hirschfeld in the early 1930’s. Imagine the Brave New World we would now have if all that valuable knowledge hadn’t been lost. These sick freaks have been at it for a while in their rebellion against nature.
I hope you find a candidate you like.
Perverts have to constantly push their evil.
“...with hundreds of voices from my past telling me that transgender people were subhuman.”
Yet another mentally defective human seeking attention.
You forgot the barf alert.
Here’s the deal - if you need drugs and plastic surgery to find your “authentic true self” you’re doing it wrong.
From the story:
“The excitement led me to swipe right on a photo of a woman named Joanne, biting a fur coat. She was the first person I would love as my true self...”
“Biting a fur coat”??
Ok, that’s a more elegant way to put it.
It said “NYT alert” in the title. “NYT alert” is a form of “barf alert”.
That's the flippiest feature of this flip-flop: that this is actually a male who lives with and loves a female, impregnated her, and is now looking forward to raising their child together.
It's man + woman --> child.
The weird part is the oscillating back and forth between different hormone levels and, of course, hairstyles.
When you've got a kid, you've got to be an adult. I sincerely hope they settle down into responsible maturity, and stop acting like kindergartners who found a costume trunk.
That poor child. They will be exposed to all sorts of adult issues far too early. Children should never be exposed to adult issues, because they don’t have the life experience to solve them, leaving the child feeling incapable and self-conscious. That carries all the way through adulthood, and the cycle continues.
Also: “I was losing control. I wanted to die. I wanted to hurt and be hurt. These were feelings I thought I had overcome when I transitioned. Instead, it seemed, they had been put on hold, waiting to resurface.”
Another cycle that is doomed to continue. Self-resentment, reassurance via a therapist, IRL or online social group, exposure to reality, more self-loathing.
The story does not contain the part where they fertilize an egg with the stored sample. It sounds like they been doing it normally for a while, or the kid is not his. All that is certain is that this guy is crazy, and his time on this plane is likely to end by his own hand. Sad. And these transgender clinics are enabling this and just raking it in. Double sad.
