"She chose poorly."
Posted on 01/16/2025 11:41:29 PM PST by Morgana
A transgender teen with cerebral palsy who went viral after posting about his breast-removal surgery has told DailyMail.com that he knew what he was doing and is happy with his choices.
Micah LeRoy, 19, a University of Minnesota student, had a double mastectomy last month and shared footage about the procedure, and his painful but swift recovery, on Instagram.
Those videos exploded on conservative social media on Thursday, with critics calling Micah a victim who should not have been greenlighted for a sex change because of his disability.
But, speaking with DailyMail.com, Micah said he had a long history of gender identity issues and that he is glad he provoked a reaction because he 'wanted to blow up the internet.'
Micah's case raises tough questions about whether disabled people and minors should be allowed to take puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones and undergo sex change operations.
Micah's disability, cerebral palsy, affects movement and muscle control. He is able to speak and write for himself, gets straight As at college, and is involved in state politics.
'I am making these decisions,' said Micah.
'I am my own legal guardian. And people don't understand that.'

Then again Buck vs Bell was never taken off the books so why not?
The uncomfortable truth is even some victims of MS can correctly be called “Attention Whores”. That’s what she is.
Just because someone is afflicted with a chronic and most inconvenient physical disorder, that does not mean all that they do, all that they wish to do is angelic.
Minnesota. Tampon Tim country.
“The uncomfortable truth is even some victims of MS can correctly be called “Attention Whores”. That’s what she is.”
I got that feeling when I looked at her picture. I also wondered if she was also retarded. I mean retarded in the clinical sense. Her body is already disabled and she goes and does more damage on purpose? She has to be retarded.
Retarded is harsh. She is a typical “Liberal Democrat.”
“ She is a typical “Liberal Democrat.”
Liberal democrats are retarded. Prove me wrong.
I’m surprised the trans-folks haven’t challenged the indecent exposure laws by going topless.
I implore you not to look at her photos. She has the same chest scars as Juno actress Ellen (now Elliot) Page, and she groks like an animal in agony.
This girl mutilated herself at age 18 so she is an adult. But no doubt she was taking hormones and puberty blockers for years prior to this. While she was a minor, living in her parent’s home.
Typical attention seeking behavior
Per the unwritten rule of FR, did not read the article first and won’t give to the hit count. The DM does not know the difference between a girl and a boy, men do not get a “double mastectomy” whether one has a neuro affliction or not.
“This girl mutilated herself at age 18 so she is an adult. But no doubt she was taking hormones and puberty blockers for years prior to this. While she was a minor, living in her parent’s home.”
Some time back I watched a documentary about parents who gave their child puberty blockers. Not because the child was trans but because the child was wheelchair bound and would be all her life. By keeping her a child it would be easier to lift her in and out of the wheelchair as the parents aged. It made sense since the child’s disease was that she would never marry or give birth. Many still complained but they are not the ones having to lift 200 pounds of dead weight out of a wheelchair or bed daily now are they?
In this case I can’t help but wonder if her parents were thinking the same thing. They just made the kid think she was trans so she took the puberty blockers. Now she has the body of a child and not adult woman.
I have a Pretendaboy neighbor that shows off her scars and tattoos the minute the temperature goes over 70 degrees. I think she’s very proud that her beard is heavier than mine. We live inside the city limits in a fairly high density neighborhood but our democrat liberal mayor has given the city cops a long list of minor infractions that won’t be pursued in order to keep the court system and local jail expenses in budget.
Disability does not confer saintliness.
Neither does melanin saturation
"She chose poorly."
Yes I’m sure he/she has received abundant “affirmation” from everyone involved. Given a base of social and emotional support from likeminded colluders, one can hold off reality for quite some time.
Micah dost protest too much.
A simple "I'm happy" would have sufficed.
I suspect Micah is trying to convince "himself" that "he" is happy.
This freak is disgusting. Some of us have those scars because we have no choice. It’s insulting for the girl to be flaunting it as if she’d just had a nose job or a tummy tuck.
So, worse than retarded.
She is definitely disabled.. a complete retard.
Another attention harpy bordering on narcissism.
