I was allowed to transition at 18 without question – but I regretted it (Female to Male)
UK Telegraph via Yahoo ^ | 04 06 2022 | Kim Thomas

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.

"What a basket case!"

To her credit she realized she was wrong and has taken step to correct her mistakes.

Others aren't so fortunate and the trans groomers are running heavy interference to stop people like her from understanding how and why they're wrong.

Expose the groomers and their agenda and lies.

Of course being advised by professional lunatics called councilors, social workers, psychologists, etc didn’t help!

At 18, in the US, you're a legal adult and it's none of my business what you choose to do to yourself and your regrets are your business. Just leave children out of it.

"It’s hard to know where to start dissecting this story."

To me this shows how some kids fall into the transgender trap because of spiral thinking and there are no rational adults to step in to stop it. They're easy targets for adults with agendas.

'I feel awkward. There must be something wrong with me. Boys look like they have more fun than girls. If I was a boy I would be just as happy as boys. All my problems would go away if I became a boy'.

Most of her problems were in her thinking process and apparently she didn't feel comfortable talking things over with mom and dad. The result was she fell into a pit of confusion in her own mind.

It’s easy to understand the envy experienced by women but they got to play the cards they were dealt.

We are not all lunatics, you know. I am one of the very few conservative therapists there are.

For example, I will not attend any conferences or support in any way Psychotherapy Networker because they invited Jane Fonda to be their keynote speaker a few years ago. That did it for me.

Ask the doctor for Quinine or Ivermectin and see what happens.

“Satan is screwing with everything that God set up.” “the fifties”

Leftists delight in doing his bidding.

I had a wonderful life working hard and enjoying the fruits of a free land. Today's trash and low iq will soon get the society for which they clamor. Deprivation, sorrow, chaos and death are coming hard in a way never imagined.

Dayan May indeed be screwing with everything God set up. And it seems he’s winning. I often have my doubts who’s truly the more powerful of the two.

“Realizing her mistakes, she stopped transitioning and returned to being a female.”

Did she have breast implants then?

If she was experiencing an endocrine surge of free-floating adrenal androgens or had an issue with hormone regulation, she could easily experience symptoms of gender dysphoria. It usually starts during puberty and evens out between 18 and 22.

Very few kids under 18 are legitimately trans. I know; my middle child is one of them. Incurable endocrine defect that effects less than 1% of the population.

Tossing hormones at kids and removing body parts before 18 is cruel.

OK I'll take your word for it that your not.

From my experience all I knew college that were majoring in psychology were in it to solve there own problems. The therapists, etc that I have run into socially if you got them all together they could be their own asylum!

Yeah, they’ve been saying it since the early 1800s.

Things really are moving ahead at a rapid clip thought.

Look at the change in our society over the last ten years
alone.

There’s certainly grounds for you to say that.

When I said that we’ll see, I was not thinking of you and
I literally seeing it, but more just that it will be
proven over time. My mistake for not being more precise
in my terminology.
