When the Government announced this week it would not go ahead with a Bill to ban conversion therapy for trans people, my response was mixed. At 18, I’d been prescribed testosterone by a private GP so I could transition to living as a man. The GP didn’t attempt to explore the possible causes of my gender dysphoria, such as my mental health problems or my difficulties fitting in socially. But even if they had, I might have insisted on going ahead anyway. I thought I knew everything about myself – nobody could tell me what to do.
I was raised in Lancashire, in a very masculine environment. My mum used to work nights, so I was looked after by my dad. I also had two stepbrothers, eight years older. I wasn’t brought up with them, but we did socialise as I was growing up. After my parents divorced when I was 11, I spent a lot of time with my dad because my mum used to work three jobs.
When I started school, I struggled to make friends with other girls. I didn’t care for Groovy Chick, or Barbie or Bratz – I just wanted to play football. There were a lot of social rules to female friendships. Male friendships were just so much easier: we’d fall out, we’d fight, we’d make up, we’d forget about it the next day.

This young woman had a lot of personal and emotional issues growing up (both real and imagined) leading to confusion and questions; essentially the average life of a child going through puberty and becoming an adult. The problem? 'I don't feel comfortable with my body and my place in society'. The solution? 'If I change my body, all my problems will go away and I will be happy'.
Naturally the solution didn't work because the problems she was having were in her head and not her body.
This young woman eventually realized changing her body didn't bring her the happiness she believed it would. Her body may have been altered but those changes didn't change the thoughts in her head.
Realizing her mistakes, she stopped transitioning and returned to being a female. For some reason she's still confused but she learned changing her body wasn't the key to emotional happiness.
there’s no such thing as a transition... an orange can’t become an apple, but you can paint an orange red and call it an apple and every can play pretend...
musta been drunk at the time.
Maybe if the author had been persuaded to do it at a younger age he/she would have been happier? Not likely, but it’s the standard educator’s argument.

Yep. Medical mutilation is all it is.
Drugs, hormones and surgical mutilation are not the answer to any mental illness. Telling the mentally ill they’re fine and they need to indulge their delusions will just make them worse.
Satan is screwing with everything that God set up.
You know folks, the Fifties are looked back on by many folks
as “White Bread” moments. The television shows. You name it.
I’d sure like to see the wholesome parts of it back.
Should have seen a psychiatrist instead of a surgeon.
Maybe a short, sharp shock would've helped.
The only really disgraceful thing about this particular type of idiocy is that the mutants who do it aren't paying for it out of their own pockets.
fortunately she didn’t have any bits permanently snipped off ...
Halcyon Days as it were.
What a basket case!
It’s what happens to a lot of kids from broken homes with little or no parenting who get all their guidance and “counciling” from sick social media.
Glad she’s seen the light and has regained most if not all of her sanity.
No lopitoffame or addadictome?
Good...
“In most countries you can do a lot of things at the age of 18 without question. You may later regret some of those things.”
A lot of things, but not anything.
If I go to the doctor as a fully independent adult and demand that they amputate my perfectly functional arm, they are not going to comply. I can probably ask 50 doctors and they would all refuse. So you can’t do anything.
What she needed growing up was healthy mother and father role models. She needed responsible adults who she could talk to and trust.
Instead a lot of her problems were in her head and apparently she didn't have any adult she could talk to so she fell into a downward spiral of emotional confusion.
Kids need role models and adults they know they can talk to and trust. If parents aren't doing the job these kids run the risk of finding adults with agendas that will screw-up young minds.
I have finally come to the conclusion that there are three genders: Male, Female & Demoncrat.
It’s hard to know where to start dissecting this story.
One thing is for sure, having little or no supervision from responsible parents has to rank up there as the cause. Broken families can ravage a society.
Another one is the level of permissiveness allowed by our societies. A society that allows the freedom to do stupid things at other people’s expense, especially at an immature age is just asking for these types of problems. There have to be boundaries to personal freedom - yes sometimes you can be too strict, but the problem in our case is we are way too lose.
He’s working overtime. He knows his time is short. Look up!
