My New Life After Transgender Despair

Last December, I received an early Christmas present that I would have rejected just one year earlier: an “M” for “male” on my driver’s license.

The switch back to male marked the end of a long journey of gender confusion and self-deception. Along the way I became a transgender activist and then America’s first legally non-binary person.

By Christmas Eve 2019, I was done with the lies. By God’s grace, a Portland judge granted my petition to legally restore my sex to male.

This has been a five-year ordeal. I first rose to become a transgender activist in 2015, telling The New York Times: “I now live in a world where radical, conservative politicians and religious groups routinely attack my very existence with legislation to deny me basic human rights such as a bathroom that matches my gender-identity.”

New to identifying as a woman at that stage of my life, but indoctrinated by the peddlers of transgender ideology to believe I was one, I incorrectly believed that gaining access to female bathrooms was a human rights issue for me.

I was wrong. In hindsight, it was all part of a selfish quest to nourish my long-held sexual fantasy of being a woman—a mental disorder called autogynephilia.

Leftist theory states that is because we mistreat them as a society and refuse to affirm their true identity.

If you dangle your head over a cliff you can be sure the enemy of men's souls is ready to reach out and pull you in.....

By God’s grace, a Portland judge granted my petition to legally restore my sex to male.

Given the nuttiness that pervades Portland, I'm surprised that filing the petition wasn't deemed a hate crime.

I dont see ages or date of birth info anywhere here.

Was he a teen during these 5 years ?

A positive move would be to require a minimum age to ‘trans’ yourself. Lik 25 or 21.

The guy is hardly out of the woods yet as his entire article reveals. You cannot go down the roads he took without coming out unscathed.....and that’s obvious in his case. His problems go well beyond the diagnosis given.

I'll pray the demonic leftist dies before he kills.

“...a Portland judge granted my petition to legally restore my sex to male.” How perverse and weird have we become when we think we need a judge’s permission to decide who we are?

Had the judge said no, might he have been arrested for not wearing a dress or using a men’s bathroom?

Life has is sucky moments for all of us. How is it legal to go around saying that it will suck less if you go chopping of perfectly serviceable body parts.

That was just a dry run for the meToo farce we’re experiencing today.

Being a trannie
Will never get you to be granny
You will still be a Danny!

Does anyone know where I can receive counseling?

I feel like I’m a lesbian stuck in a man’s body

Asking for a friend, really...

A lot of damage has been done by the activists.
This reminds of the big movement in the 1980s to convince all young women that they had been sexually abused by their fathers but had “blocked” the memories. With the help of a good psychologist (who would mostly say “He did abuse you. He did abuse you. He did abuse you.”) a lot of families were torn apart by women who decided that they hated their father for what he had done. It was heartbreaking to see some of those cases.

I remember that.
Those shrinks that enabled them should have been DRAWN and QUARTERED.

Not gonna’ read the article, but glad he is back mentally. Doe he still have the right plumbing? If not, he’s really screwed.

[metmom]

The comments at the end of the article are very enlightening.

What’s really sad is the laws that prohibit conversion therapy counseling and the eager willingness of quack doctors who profit off of these mentally ill people.

The H.R.5 - Equality Act that the House passed forbids,

Along the line of corruption, the article states,

It didn’t matter to me that before the brief hearing, which lasted mere minutes, my lawyer had confided that the case was essentially fixed, that the judge had a transgender child and had recently granted a sex change for a 12-year-old.

I didn’t know much about the Bible back then, but I knew enough to know they cherished its teaching about how God created only male and female. So I vowed to destroy that sacred belief.

Prohomosexual apologists have spent an inordinate amount of effort seeking to disallow the Biblical condemnation of homosexual relations and even to find sanction for the same.

Such as are examined and refuted here , by the grace of God.

It’s because we ‘normals’ pick on them; doncha know.
