1 Year After Sex Change, This Teen Regrets His ‘Frankenstein Hack Job’
The Daily Signal ^ | November 17, 2019 | Walt Heyer

Posted on 11/18/2019 11:33:09 AM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Less than a year after having gender surgery, Nathaniel now says, “This whole thing was a bad idea. I am 19 years old, and I feel as though I have ruined my life.”

It’s heartbreaking each time I get a letter from someone who underwent gender-change surgery and regrets it, especially someone as young as Nathaniel.

With his permission, I’m telling a bit of his story to raise awareness of the young lives being ruined by the rush to surgery, and hoping that hearing the testimony of this young man will influence others on this path to slow down and consider the consequences before consenting to surgery.

In Nathaniel’s case, he says he was bullied by the boys in elementary school because he was sensitive and preferred playing girl games. When he was a bit older, he discovered internet pornography, heard about transgenderism, and as he says, “convinced myself that’s what I was.”

When he finally worked up the nerve to tell his mother in the summer after eighth grade, she made an appointment with, in his words, “a doctor at an informed-consent clinic.”

He started seeing the doctor a week after his 15th birthday, and from how he describes the next years of his teens, I’d say going to the clinic didn’t improve his life.

“From then on,” he says, “I slowly detached from everything until I was just staying home, playing video games, and going on the internet all day. I stopped reading, drawing, riding my bicycle. I surrounded myself in an echo chamber that supported and validated my poor decisions, because the others were also, unfortunately, stuck in that pit, too.”

The way I see it, it is a CRIMINAL offense for any parent or guardian to enable their child to go down this path.

Yes, this is criminal. It would be little different than if you surgically removed your child's legs or arms.

Now you come of age and you want to do this to yourself as a legal adult, different story. But I have yet to see a biological man pass himself off as a real woman. Now with about 15 hours of makeup (thinking Bruce Jenner here), you can make yourself passable. But you ain't no real woman. Not even close.

YES! Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex are the ones really pushing this transmania.

All of them should be sued at the very least. What they’re doing is criminal.

Foolish human. And he thinks this information will be disseminated among the fags, dikes, fruit loops and limp wrists................., why? They'll bury it. The lame stream media/fake news outlets will never cover it.

And they'll continue to pressure gullible kids into similar tragedy all for the sake of their nefarious agenda.

Absolutely. Anything to establish that the patient is making the decision wholly of their own, adult cognition.

IMHO is also a phrase that "educators" use to avoid their own responsibility for bureaucratic, organizational failures, lack of supervision for the children in their charge, and lack of any moral education.

Yes. Exactly.

That is what I said.

Teachers or school administrators allow some children to abuse the others. The abused children appeals to higher authority and are either put off or told it is their own fault.

This is however not normal outside of a "Lord of the Flies" setting. The adults are suppose to intervene because it is their job to civilize the little barbarians.

What a tragic, ugly story.

This whole "transgender" thing can only be a part of Satan's plan.

Yes, bullying is an old problem, but it’s different now. You got the victims with nowhere to turn and so they get severely depressed, go home, grab their daddy’s gun and then shoot everyone. Either that or they go home and kill themselves.

That is different. That didn’t happen before. So something has gotten worse. And that is one of the common denominators of these school shooters...they were all bullied.

My theory is that in the modern age, there is no sense of community anymore. When I grew up in the 80s, sure there were bullies. But practically everyone had friends. You didnt have all these video games and cell phones and social media. You went outside and played football and baseball. Even bullied kids had a feeling of belonging somewhere. Today, there is so much isolation. Kids don’t go out and play anymore. I hardly ever see kids ride bikes anymore. My bike was my world when I was a kid. I would HATE to be a kid today.

And even with adults it’s gotten bad. Neighbors barely even know each other anymore. Everyone dates online or swipes their Tinder app. And then with the little free time that’s left people go home and binge watch the new Netflix series.

Our society sucks.

Transgender people are mentally ill . They need serous psychotherapy , not encouragement of their mental illness . Those who promote their illness are abusing them.

“Yes, bullying is an old problem but it’s different now,”
WRONG !

Same as it ever was, ‘anti bullying’ is just an excuse for shutting down free speech.

Blame it on Mr. Carrier.

He invented air conditioning.

THIS is why you see no kids OUTSIDE anymore.

How many schools were shot up back when you were a kid compared to today?

Why do you think that’s happening so much now? What’s the difference if you think bullying is no different and no worse today than it was back then. If bullying is not a cause, what is?

err, none

“Why do you think that’s happening so much now? What’s the difference if you think bullying is no different and no worse today than it was back then. If bullying is not a cause, what is?

I think the reason for schools and public places being shot up nowadays is due to our recent adoption (unfortunately by unstable or unintelligent individuals) of the ideology of “I have grievance and therefore I have a legitimate cause to kill others.”

Yes there is ‘bullying’ as there has been FOREVER, but the ‘bullying’ bullshit validates such ‘thinking’.

There was a guy that posted on Twitter maybe, but had the “open wound” operation, and said it first smelled like an open wound, but as time went on it smelled like feces, or in his words “poop”.

I read that. The fecal smell was caused by bacteria, a not uncommon side effect to "bottom surgery" that the transgender lobby failed to inform him about. And why would they? Tell someone he's going to smell like feces for the rest of his life and he might think twice about becoming a tranny. Can't have that!
