Ayear after moving to Bridge City, Texas, 8-year-old Samuel Kulovitz thought his life couldn’t get any worse. He had made no friends in the swampy oil refinery town and spent most of his time in his family’s mobile home. He missed Florida and playing on the beach there with other children.
But life did get worse. He hit puberty. For Kulovitz, who was assigned female at birth, “growing into being a young woman horrified me,” he said. “I kept crying and crying, and I didn’t know why I didn’t like it.”
Then, at age 11, Kulovitz started venturing onto social media. There, he came across a cosplayer on Tumblr who said he realized he was a transgender boy from the euphoria he felt while dressed as the hero of an online comic. Kulovitz was transfixed. “I kept asking myself, ‘Why do you want to look like him?’” he told Reuters. In the online community where Kulovitz spent more and more time, he adopted the pronouns “he” and “him,” and he liked it.
When his mother learned of his transgender identity, she was supportive and enrolled him in therapy. He was diagnosed at age 12 with gender dysphoria, the distress that comes from identifying as a gender different from the one assigned at birth.
Two and a half years later, Kulovitz started on the hormone testosterone. He was thrilled as he grew facial and chest hair, his voice dropped, and his menstrual periods stopped.
Still, his breasts were a constant source of distress, and his body ached from wearing a chest binder. “I always thought, ‘I wish I could get rid of them,’ ” Kulovitz said.

“’Have you noticed that you never see a “beautiful” girl wanting to transition. It seems to be those that the world considers overweight, homely, awkward.’”
No, I have seen pretty girls, even actresses go for it, I’m not aware of a pattern.
When my daughter was in Middle school, 13-15, she’s now 35, “POPULARITY” was the all-consuming goal!
I remember one time, I forget the subject, but her reply was “Dad! That wild hurt my POPULARITY!” as if it was a living being.......................
I WAS a tomboy in the 50s/60s..oh, and I had warts all over my hands too between the ages of 10 and 13...never occurred to me to want to be a boy. Today’s kids are inundated with sex and gender crap...what you promote you get more of.
Niki kama kili.
Who is doing all this assigning and getting it "wrong?"
There is no "assignment" at birth. We need to start pushing back on this terminology.
Klaatu Barada Nikto. 🤡
SHE needs treatment, but that certainly DOES NOT include gender mutilation surgery.
I read this entire long article. I feel like I need to shower now. Ron Desantis is on the right path on this issue.
“But then, when was the last time anyone ever heard a discussion of ethics in the public domain?”
Are you kidding? You hear it all the time, it’s just that the ethics their pushing is 180 degrees from ours.
You see, it is extremely unethical nowdays to say women don’t have dicks, men can’t get pregnant, men don’t have husbands, etc., etc. Haven’t you heard?
Mom has quite a few tattoos. That’s what’s important to her.
“For Kulovitz, who was assigned female at birth,
Nobody is “assigned” their sex at birth as if they were born anatomically neutral and someone picks their sex at random.”
I guess she was also assigned species at birth - she could just as easily been assigned to be a cat.
“Adolescents assigned female at birth initiate transgender care 2.5 to 7.1 times more frequently than those assigned male at birth,...”
That’s because mental illness is more prevalent in the female than the male.
bttt
Men make better women. Better swimmers. They win Beauty pageants. They get on the cover of Vogue. Why wouldn’t young girls want to be a man so she could be better than real women.....
God help us. Linerals are evil.
Child abuse. The doctors should be locked up.
Reuters, a failed “news” source, has abandoned science and embraced trans delusionary dogma: “who was assigned female at birth”.
How can there be a “gender” imbalance when you can freely choose which gender to identify with?
We are living in a simulation, not reality. The vast majority of the “news” sources are all denying reality and creating a vast simulation of the world in which the Y chromosome plays absolutely no part in determining a person’s being.
“his breasts” is a grammatical error and a delusion.
This is so distressing.
It occurs to me that this is yet another way to depopulate the human race...now we find 7:1 “transitioning” from female to male...
Other methods:
We have abortion up until birth.
Now we have clot shots mandated for kids who don’t need them and are causing problems such as sudden death, myocarditis, weakened immune system RVS syndrome? All new compliments of PFE...
Climate change directives that limit “fossil” fuel (causes inflation) and carbon dioxide (which plants—FOR FOOD—need) fertilizer, meat, etc. to reduce population...Thanks brandon and wef.
Deliberately escalated wars which cause loss of life, loss of treasure, etc.
So if we survive this onslaught, I hope a book will be written or a story told of how this all was orchestrated against the middle class—everyday God-fearing people.
They are getting the wrong treatment they need their twisted trendy mind normalized.
Samantha shouldn’t have been mangled until she turned 18. As it is, in most cases, gender dysphoria disappears as they grow up, with the sufferers usually turning out to be gay.
