'I should have never done this': Transgender patients reveal their regret over NHS sex change operations and why they 'detransitioned' after they were 'rushed' into life-changing procedures

Two transgender patients today revealed their regret at going through NHS sex change operations and claimed they were 'rushed' into the life-changing procedures.

In powerful testimony that will raise fresh fears that vulnerable young people are being pushed into invasive and unalterable surgery by zealous transgender activists, they spoke of the terrible impacts on their mental and physical health.

After describing in graphic detail the nature of the surgery required to remove his male anatomy, 35-year-old Ritchie said: 'This is not reversible, the experiment is over for me, there really really isn't any turning back.'

Transition doctors who give castrating drugs or chop body parts of minors should be relieved of their licenses.

#11: "They weren't “assigned” the wrong sex at birth. Chromosomes did that."

Not to pick nits, but God assigned the chromosomes. God formed each of his children in his or her mother's wombs. He knew them even before they were formed. A person's sex has been determined since the dawn of time.

There is no such thing as "sex change" only sex mutilation.

And they say they’re doing it to help “stop a future suicide”. No. That’s not it at all….these people who finally mature and realize what they did to themselves most likely will off themselves anyway. They’ve been lied to, likely bankrupted, and the mental health aspect is still there.

But hey….the docs got their money so we cool, right?

My 15 year old daughter wanted a tatoo. I told her sure, she could have whatever she wanted once she was 18. She is now 24 and has no tatoos. See?

Yep. There is money to be made. After you sell parts of murdered baby’s this is nothing.

>> Stupid hurts.

Prolly a depressed person that grasped at straws for meaning. It’s the cultish Left & medical community that exploited the individuals despondency.

Not much sympathy for someone who ties a 200 pound weight to their A$$ and then complains that it's tough to move around.

To those TRANSITIONING: "YOU did it.. NOW LIVE with it!"

Nah, man.

I often tell my kids “I don’t get angry with the mentally ill. They can’t help it”. I stay away, for sure, but I don’t get mad.

Without the cheerleaders in the medical field, academia, and leftists politicians, this poor bastard almost certainly wouldn’t be where it is today. Yes, he’s weak minded. By definition. But he certainly had a lot of encouragement and help from people who don’t think they were ‘born in the wrong body’ whatever the “F” that means.

Sad case. It was to try to save his dog ... Yes, I know, it’s only a animal, but for many of us, a pet is a most dear friend.

Well said. The blame for this situation is not on the individuals - we don’t know what their mental state was - the blame goes 100% to the medical profession. They are responsible for this dreadful fashion of sex change operations, which is being pushed onto young people.

“Any parents signing on to this sort of thing before the
child is 18, should have the child removed from the
home,”

And placed in the care of the government?

I’m sure placing them with an obviously sane relative would be a better choice-and require the loony parent to get psychotherapy for Munchausen by proxy...

That’s what everything is about today. Money.

The political coup in Ukraine during Obama’s administration was about money and money laundering.

The COVID vaccine didn’t work but it made billions for pharmaceutical companies, their investors, and the politicians that gave them the money.

The war in Ukraine is about maintaining the money laundering pipeline and keeping the money flowing to defense suppliers.

The green agenda is about redistributing money to the investors and politicians behind green energy.

I could go on all day with examples, but I think you get the point.

Ritchie was 27 when he had the surgery. I am more concerned about 15 and 16 year old boys and girls have the surgery without parental notification and/or intervention.

My dogs aren’t just friends, they are family.

I your child falls off a cliff to their certain death, you don’t jump off that cliff to die with them.

If you take your child or your dog to an extremely dangerous place you are responsible for taking the appropriate safety precautions!

LEASH AND BODY HARNESS, works just as well for the two legged puppy as it does for the four legged puppy!
