Approaching Sodom > One young man's horrifying experience with transgenderism

From: X


Ritchie  

I want to tell everyone what they took from us, what irreversible really means, and what that reality looks like for us.

No one told me any of what I’m going to tell you now.

I have no sensation in my crotch region at all. 

You could stab me with a knife and I wouldn't know. The entire area is numb, like it's shell shocked and unable to comprehend what happened, even 4 years on.

No one told me that the base area of your penis is left, it can't be removed - meaning you're left with a literal stump inside that twitches.

When you take Testosterone and your libido returns, you wake up with morning wood, without the tree. 

I wish this was a joke.

And thats something that will never come back and one of the reason why i got surgery. 

My sex drive died about 6 months on HRT and at the time I was glad to be rid of it, but now 10 years later, Im realising what im missing out on and what I won't get back.

Because even if i had a sex drive, my neo vagina is so narrow and small, i wouldn't even be able to have sex if i wanted too.

And when I do use a small dilator, I have random pockets of sensation that only seem to pick up pain, rather than pleasure.

Any pleasure I do get comes from the Prostate that was moved forward and wrapped in glands from the penis, meaning anal sex isnt possible and can risk further damage.

Then theres the dreams. I dream often, that I have both sets of genitals, in the dream I'm distressed I have both, why both I think? I tell myself to wake up because I know its just a dream.

And I awaken into a living nightmare.

In those moments of amnesia as I would wake, I would reach down to my crotch area expecting something that was there for 3 decades, and it's not.

My heart skips a beat, every single damn time.

Then theres the act of going to the toilet. It takes me about 10 minutes to empty my bladder, it's extremely slow, painful and because it dribbles no matter how much i relax, it will then just go all over that entire area, leaving me soaken.

So after cleaning myself up, I will find moments later that my underwear is wet - no matter how much I wiped, it slowly drips out for the best part of an hour.

I never knew at 35 I ran the risk like smelling like piss everywhere I went.

Now i get to the point where im detransitioned and the realisation that this is permanent is catching up with me.

During transition, I was obsessive and deeply unwell, I cannot believe they were allowed to do this to me, even after all the red flags.

I wasn't even asked if I wanted to freeze sperm or want kids. In my obsessive, deeply unwell state they just nodded along and didnt tell me the realities, what life would be like.

And finally, theres dilation, which is like some sort of demonic ceremony where you impale yourself for 20 agonising minutes to remind you of your own stupidity.

This isn't even the half of it. And this isn't regret either, this is grief and anger.

F**k everyone who let this happen.

Far and away the best statistics in the world on transgenderism comes from England where the Tavistock Clinic was the only clinic in the country to handle transgender cases. At least, until they shut it down last year for its recklessly insane practices on children. Most Scandinavian countries also shut down their transition programs for children. Not Canada though - we know better, right?

Many far-left politicians claim that children are going to die because Alberta, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick have moved to protect children from the madness of transitioning. They are completely wrong! Statistics from England indicate that in normal society the attempted suicide rate is 0.35%. However, the attempted suicide rate of youth who have transitioned is as much as 150 times that. For girls transitioning to boys the attempted suicide rate is 50.8%. More than half will attempt suicide after transitioning, and not so long after transitioning. This sample is mostly still in their 20s. If the study is repeated in ten or twenty years, that 50.8% will just get higher.

For male-to-female transitioners, like Ritchie, the percentage is 30%, or about 85 times higher than normal. The point is that enabling transitioning is going to kill way more kids than preventing it.

One more point - In 2009 the clinic received about 50 referrals — typically from males who had suffered gender dysphoria from an early age. By 2020 there were 2,500 referrals, mostly from females who started suffering gender identity issues in their early teens, with a further 4,600 young people on the waiting list.

While transgender rights activists argue that the huge increases are due to growing public acceptance of a previously taboo issue... If that were the case, attempted suicide rates would be normalizing, but they are not.

This 'sudden onset' gender dysphoria has more to do with gender fluidity teaching in schools, and social media than anything else.

80-85% of gender dysphoric children revert to their biological sex after puberty - Johns Hopkins. This number links up well with the percentage of kids who are sudden-onset gender dysphorics.

Wait! US & UK Doctors Warn Against Hormones/Surgery for Trans-Identified Kids

IMHO treating pre-pubescent kids for transgenderism is a form of child sexual abuse. The great majority will normalize to their biological sex after puberty if untreated, and a large percentage of them will normalize even if treated.

I feel quite certain that the extremely high rates of attempted suicides in xgenders is due to regret.

Medical professionals in the US and UK are sounding the alarm about the growing use of “hormonal and surgical interventions” for children who are confused about their gender identity, saying that more studies are required.

Members of the conservative childrens’ advocacy group the American College of Pediatricians (ACP) wrote a letter on Monday to the Surgeon General of the United States, warning about the effects of gender-reassignment surgeries and  hormonal drugs on minors, saying such interventions have “not undergone long-term study.”

The ACP called the issue a “grave public health concern” and said that the drastic methods have become the new “standard of care” in lieu of “ethical psychotherapy” for children and teens who present with gender dysphoria (GD).

The ACP letter cites research which claims that 61-98 percent of youth affected by GD will “outgrow” it “if allowed to progress through natural puberty.” 

The group also laments that healthcare professionals are “increasingly prohibited from investigating psychosocial factors” which may have led to GD symptoms and fear being penalized or accused of discrimination.

This is what I call PCMadness.

Dual warnings

The warnings are coming from both sides of the pond. Earlier this month, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) cautioned that there is a lack of “robust evidence” about the long-term effects of puberty-blockers and hormonal drugs.

In a 12-page position paper, the RCGP complained that family doctors were under pressure to provide gender dysphoria services that “lie outside the remit” of their generalist expertise. The paper advises that more research is needed on the pros and cons of medical treatment vs. a less dramatic “wait and see” approach.

Medical treatment of children with GD often begins with the prescription of puberty blockers, which are given to halt normal onset of puberty. Next, the child is given “cross-sex hormones” – in other words, hormones which match their stated identity rather than their biologically assigned sex. At a later stage, the patients undergo gender-reassignment surgery.

The side-effects of these interventions can include “sterility, sexual dysfunction, surgical complications, thromboembolic and cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, malignancy, and persistently elevated rates of suicide,” the ACP advises.

The average rate of suicide attempts in transgenders is about 35%; while a UK study found in young women who transitioned to men had a rate of 51%. Suicide attempts in the whole of society in the US is about 1.75%.

‘Surge’ of GD in girls

The medical warnings come as the UK’s only child gender clinic, the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), reported significant increases in the numbers of children seeking to transition to the opposite gender – an overwhelming majority of them (74 percent) being young girls seeking to transition to a male identity. 

The Sunday Times reported on the “surge” last month, noting that the majority (54 percent) of the children referred to the clinic are 14 or under. In the UK, 17 year-olds are now allowed to be seen in adult gender clinics and to independently consent to treatment. The newspaper also recalled that a “review” into the new wave of girls seeking to transition had been ordered by the former equalities minister Penny Mordaunt last year, but “little has been heard of it since.”

While transgender rights activists argue that the huge increases are due to growing public acceptance of a previously taboo issue, skeptics say that impressionable children are being confused by activists who ‘promote’ the idea of changing genders and who pressure health professionals to immediately accept a child’s assertion that he or she is the opposite sex, rather than first exploring psychological reasons why a child may feel that way.

There's a good probability that many of the young girls are being egged on by friends on social media. A sudden surge in popularity is very effective in confusing a young girl.

TransgenderTrend

If staff tried to “suggest that perhaps these early experiences might be connected to a child’s wish to transition”, Entwistle said, they “run the risk of being called transphobic”. The unspoken rule is "Gids clinicians do not tell families: ‘Your child is not transgender’”.

TransgenderTrend

Patients are told blockers are "fully reversible." Entwistle says: “no one knows what the impacts are on children’s brains, so how is it possible to make this claim?” "In practice, nearly all those given the drugs go on to take irreversible sex-change hormones once they turn 16."

Whistleblower

The RCGP warning was shortly followed by claims from a National Health Service (NHS) psychologist who said poor and potentially abused children are being misdiagnosed as transgender. Dr Kirsty Entwistle, a former GIDS worker, said children can present with GD due to “traumatic early experiences,” including sexual abuse, but those cases are not being investigated properly because medical professionals fear being labeled “transphobic.”

Like many children who experiment with gay or lesbian sex because of earlier sexual abuse, this is confirmation that some such children also experiment with transgenderism.

Entwistle said she left GIDS after being accused of transphobia herself, after raising concerns over the skyrocketing numbers of young people identifying as transgender. She also claims that GIDS staff tell parents of children that the effects of puberty blockers are “fully reversible” despite a lack of evidence on the effect the drugs have on children’s brains.

The drugs, which are given to children 

as young as 11 years-old in Britain, 

could be linked to increases in suicidal thoughts. 

The BBC reported on Monday that GIDS lowered the age it offered kids puberty blockers based on a study which is being investigated by the Health Research Authority. The drugs, which are given to children as young as 11 years-old in Britain, could be linked to increases in suicidal thoughts. 

De-transitioning?

Some recent reporting has also explored the phenomenon of the "detransitioners"; individuals who believed themselves to be transgender before changing their minds and deciding to transition back to their original biological gender. The detransitioners are thought to make up a very small number of the adult trans population.

But the story seems to be different for children. A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that two-thirds of adolescent patients at a clinic in Amsterdam ended up identifying as their original birth-assigned gender. Another study, often called into question by trans activists, found that up to 80 percent of trans kids eventually identified as their birth sex. Canadian sex researcher James Cantor wrote in a blog post in 2016 that “only very few trans-kids still want to transition by the time they are adults.”

Instead, he claimed, “they generally turn out to be regular gay or lesbian folks.”

Approaching Sodom > Porn users trump kids in Labour's Australia; British Columbia's Far-Left Madness is killing kids

‘Vested interests’ of pornography put before  children’s wellbeing

The Sydney Morning Herald 19 Sep. 2023 Former child abuse royal commissioner Robert Fitzgerald and top domestic violence campaigners have accused the federal government of putting vested interests ahead of child safety by ignoring advice to trial a porn passport. Research has found 75 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds have viewed pornography online, and a third of those first saw it before they were 13. Last month, the e-Safety Commission recommended a pilot of age-verification technology for adult websites, but the government rejected the proposal and will first allow the adult industry a chance to regulate itself.

In an open letter to be sent to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Communications Minister Michelle Rowland today, more than three dozen child and women’s safety experts say early exposure to pornography is leading to the normalisation of violence against women and a rise in child-on-child sexual abuse. Signatories include consent campaigner Chanel Contos, the first NSW Commissioner for Children and Young People Gillian Calvert, and parenting experts Maggie Dent, Michael Carr-Gregg and Steve Biddulph. Chanel Contos

“It is our strong view that the government has allowed itself to be swayed by industry resistance to an age verification system,” the letter states. “Vested interests should not have been put before the wellbeing of children.” Critics of age-verification technology say it is still maturing and have concerns about the privacy implications for adult users. Rowland said last month the government supports industry-led codes for parent education and optional filters.

As I frequently mention, children almost always pay for the madness and evil of men. =================================================================================== In Canada's far-left world, led by the federal government and media, British Columbia stands out as the farthest left of the far left. The NDP government seems determined to take the Province even further into left field than it already is. They ignore the facts in every case and endanger children rather than keeping them safe. B.C. Human Rights Commissioner says trans rights ‘not up for debate’ Govender issues statement prior to rallies across B.C. opposing SOGI curriculum, related policies Wolf Depner Abbotsford News B.C.’s human rights commissioner Kasari Govender says the human rights of trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people are not up for debate, full stop. Yes, LGBTQ2SAI+ is Canada's all-inclusive term for... well, you know. And, yes, it gets longer every week. “Denying the existence of trans and gender diverse people — including calls to erase trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people from our province’s curricula — is hate, and hate should have no place in our community or in our schools,” Govender said. The question is, is it really hate? Keep reading. “Trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people don’t just have a right to exist — they have a right to thrive, to be loved and to have their human dignity recognized, represented and respected, as we all do.” Have you seen some of these people? Does the word 'dignity' ever occur to you when you do? Govender made these comments as part of a statement denouncing a series of planned rallies Sept. 20 across B.C. and Canada. Their organizers calling themselves 1 Million March 4 Children say they are “advocating for the elimination of the sexual orientation and gender identity curriculum, pronouns, gender ideology and mixed bathrooms in schools.” Several counter-rallies are also planned and a number of organizations including BCTF and BCFED have issued statements of support for SOGI curriculum and solidarity with 2LGBTQ2SAI+ communities. They also have received support from (NDP) Premier David Eby. “Without hesitation, I denounce threats, hate and violence against 2SLGBTQIA+ communities,” he said in responding to a letter from BCTF’s president Clint Johnston. “We are seeing a concerning rise in incidents where trans people are being targeted with threats and violence in person and online.” Without hesitation, most of us denounce threats, hate and violence against anyone. Are there statistics to prove this accusation? If so, what do you think is causing it? Did you consider that SOGI123 and having drag queens read to small children in disgustingly vulgar costumes might be major contributors? Eby also addressed students. “We may not have met,” Eby said. “I may not know your name and I may not know your favourite music, but I want you to know this: I accept you for who you are in every way. My job as premier is to ensure you all have a safe learning environment, so you can pursue your dreams.” Good grief! Do you know children who grow up dreaming of being the opposite sex to their biological makeup? Yes, there are a few, but, did you know that 80-85% of those kids will normalize to their biological sex after puberty? Yet you encourage them to remain in contradiction to reality as if that is going to allow them to pursue their dreams and keep them safe. One more fact that you, David Eby, are obviously not aware of - Boys who transition to girls have an attempted suicide rate in excess of one-in-three. Girls who transition to boys have an attempted suicide rate of more than 50% - 150 times normal. Why? It's not because they are picked on, it's because they realize the astonishing mistake they made and regret it so much that they cannot live with themselves. Transgenderism is a mental illness. Many kids are mentally ill before they become transgenders, and many are mentally ill because they became transgenders. In England, they discovered that people in the autistic spectrum are vastly over-represented in transgenders.  Why England's only Gender clinic stopped treating children, completely... In 2009, the clinic received about 50 referrals — typically from males who had suffered gender dysphoria from an early age. By 2020 there were 2,500 referrals, mostly from females who started suffering gender identity issues in their early teens, with a further 4,600 young people on the waiting list. Why the difference? SOGI123-like madness was being taught in schools and social media went viral with transgender madness. Almost all of those who have a sudden desire (called Rapid Onset) to transition at around puberty will revert to their biological sex if they haven't screwed themselves up so badly with puberty blockers and sex hormones. More than half of those who have, will attempt suicide. Now, how does that keep our children safe? How is trying to stop them from screwing up their lives called 'hate'? Go back to the drawing board David Eby, you have no idea what you are doing on this file. Statistically, B.C. kids have to be suiciding, but, I'm sure, no one is keeping count! A 2023 poll by Ipsos found almost eight out of 10 Canadians believe transgender people should be protected from discrimination in employment, housing and access to businesses. Looking across the globe, Canada has consistently ranked among the strongest supporters for trans-rights, behind leaders such as Spain and Argentina, but ahead of other western countries, including the United States, where a coalition of religious voices and their political allies in the Republican Party have passed a rising, increasingly restrictive number of laws aimed at trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people. RELATED: Advocate calls for supportive policy and funding ahead of Transgender Day of Visibility However, recent months have seen several developments that have caused alarm within Canada’s trans community and its allies. Despite warnings of violating Charter rights, New Brunswick’s government has restricted the rights of children under the age of 16 to use their preferred first names or pronouns at school and the recent policy convention of the federal Conservative Party saw delegates pass a series of resolutions (and presumably future government policies) denounced as anti-trans. According to Statistics Canada, of the nearly 30.5 million people in Canada aged 15 and older living in a private household in May 2021, 100,815 were transgender (59,460) or non-binary (41,355), accounting for 0.33 per cent of the population. Govender touches on the universal aspects of protecting trans rights in her statement. “When we stand together against anti-trans hate, we stand together against all hate,” Govender said. “In recent years, trans people have become the focus of a surge of disinformation, conspiracy theories and hate. This is not only about hate on the basis of gender identity; these rallies are an affront to human dignity, expression and rights for all of us. I condemn these rallies for their attempts to erase and marginalize trans and LGBTQ2SAI+ people. In our schools, in our communities and across our province, there is no space for hate.” Govender paired her statement with an appeal to Eby to implement a dozen recommendations following the release of a report into the causes and solutions to hate.

Man Charged with Felony Theft Identified as 'Gender Fluid' Biden Official

By Abby Liebing, Wall Street Journal

November 28, 2022 at 11:52am

Sam Brinton, who originally made headlines for being “gender fluid” and receiving a position in the Biden administration at the U.S. Department of Energy, made the news again for being charged with a felony after allegedly stealing luggage at the Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport.

Earlier in the year, Brinton became the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition at the Energy Department, as he announced on Twitter in June.

“It’s official. As of June 19th, I now serve my nation as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy,” Brinton tweeted.

“As one of if not the very first openly genderfluid individuals in federal government leadership, I was welcomed with open arms into the Department of Energy all the way up to the Secretary whom I shared the stage with in a Pride month celebration panel just today,” Brinton added in the Twitter thread.

Brinton also has a background as a “non-binary drag queen” and is a transgender activist, notably associated with the Order of Perpetual Indulgence, “a non-profit group who dress up as nuns to raise awareness of sexual intolerance and transphobia,” the Daily Mail reported.

And he was selected by Joe Biden, theoretically a Catholic.

But, on Sept. 16 there was a complaint at the MSP airport from a female that her bag was missing when she went to pick it up at baggage claim, Alpha News reported.

Law enforcement checked surveillance video which reportedly showed Brinton taking the bag and removing the luggage tag and then returning to the airport two days later with the bag.

Later, surveillance video also reportedly showed Brinton with the bag yet again on Oct. 9 at the Dulles International Airport in Virginia, Alpha News reported.

The woman to whom the bag originally belonged to, claimed that the bag and her belonging in it were worth over $2,000, Alpha News noted.

According to Alpha News’ reporting, the police asked Brinton about the bag and he admitted that he had taken it but that his clothes were in it.

“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual. That was my clothes when I opened the bag,” Brinton reportedly told the police.

Alpha News reported that Brinton is scheduled for a hearing on Dec. 19 in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

I'm sure he's telling the truth! After all, would a transgender, non-binary Drag Queen who dresses up as a nun, ever tell a lie? God forbid! 

Transgenderism is a mental illness, and, like anorexia, should not be encouraged. 

Growing Body Of Evidence Shows What's Really Causing

Rapid Onset of Gender Dysphoria in Teens

By Laurel Duggan, Wall Street Journal

November 25, 2022 at 8:47am

The recent surge in transgender identification is caused in part by peer influence, a growing body of evidence suggests, and some transgender advocates are acknowledging this issue.

Many activists argue that transgenderism has become more prevalent because growing social acceptance allows more transgender people, who would otherwise keep their gender identity a secret, to live openly. Critics of youth gender transitions, however, argue that the growing rate of transgender identification in adolescents, along with rapidly changing demographics of transgender people, are evidence that peer influence is driving young people to identify as transgender who otherwise wouldn’t.

I have been reporting this phenomenon for years, and it's disappointing that it took MSM this long to start to catch on.

Gender dysphoria used to be observed primarily in males, according to Reuters. That trend has been fully reversed over the past 15 years; among adolescents seeking transgender medical interventions, biological females outnumber biological males by a factor of 2.5 to 7.1.

This drastic change in the transgender population was driven by peer influence, some medical professionals argue. Dr. Erica Anderson, a psychologist who works with transgender children, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that peer influence, particularly through social media as a result of teens’ social isolation, is at least partially to blame for soaring rates of gender identity issues among adolescent girls.

“I think the people who are on the far right who say it’s all social influence are wrong. But people on the far left who say there can be no social influence are also wrong,” Anderson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Adolescents are very susceptible to peer influence, so to suggest there can be no influence on young people is preposterous and flies in the face of everything we know about teenagers.”

I may be considered by those on the left to be on the far-right - however, I don't believe 'it’s all social influence'. I suspect in recent years that the majority of girls are influenced by social media, but certainly not all. Transgenderism is basically a mental illness. The most dreadful thing about girls who are not mentally ill and who transition to boys is that they come to regret it. When they realize that it's not completely reversible, many become suicidal. In a large English study, more than 50% of girls who transitioned to boys attempted suicide while still quite young.

A study published in the scientific journal Plos One surveyed 256 parents whose children experienced rapid onset of gender dysphoria. The vast majority, 86.7 percent, of adolescents either started spending more time online or were in a friend group with at least one other transgender person prior to identifying as transgender, according to the study.

The study was meant to explore growing reports from parents of their children suddenly adopting transgender identities after puberty after apparent peer influence. In 36.8 percent of the friendship groups reported in the study, parent participants said the majority of its members identified as transgender. Parents also reported a decline in their children’s mental health and in parent-child relationships following adoption of transgender identities.

Childhood gender dysphoria diagnoses rose 70 percent from 2020 to 2021, according to medical records of 330 million Americans analyzed by Komodo Health Inc. From 2017 to 2021, childhood diagnoses more than doubled, according to the same data set.

Anderson, who is transgender, has voiced criticism of doctors who put minors through medical interventions without thorough psychological screening. Anderson rejects the notion that surging rates of transgender affiliation are driven wholly by social acceptance.

“I do not believe that there was this huge hidden number of transgender people in previous generations,” Anderson said.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which supports medical interventions for children who believe they’re transgender, acknowledged the social contagion phenomenon in its newest standards of care. The guidelines acknowledged a sudden surge in “nonbinary” identities, as well as a growing number of patients who didn’t experience gender dysphoria in childhood — both signs of possible peer influence.

“For a select subgroup of young people, susceptibility to social influence impacting gender may be an important differential to consider,” the standards of care read. “However, caution must be taken to avoid assuming these phenomena occur prematurely in an individual adolescent.”

WPATH is careful to avoid suggesting doctors should be skeptical of young people’s transgender identities or assume social influence is driving them.

A growing group of so-called detransitioners — individuals who underwent cross-sex medical procedures but eventually came to regret it — have come out against childhood transitions, and many of them say they were influenced by social media and online communities.

I wonder why Lauren, the writer of this article, chose to describe detransitioners as "so-called"?

“I would definitely say social media played a role in keeping the process of everything going, as well as some issues with being groomed and preyed upon by people online,” Luka, a 20-year-old detransitioner, recently told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The youth-dominated platform TikTok is flooded with content promoting medical interventions, including surgeries, as the solution to common adolescent woes such as discomfort with one’s body.

Was there ever an adolescent who was comfortable with their body?

“Rising rates of transgender identification are driven by a combination of factors: the pandemic, social isolation and a huge upswing in consumption of social media. Deplorably, there are medical providers on TikTok telling kids that if they’re unhappy with their body, maybe they’re in the wrong body and should consider transition,” Anderson told the DCNF. “It’s horrible that kids are getting this kind of advice from unvetted strangers on the internet, most of whom have no medical qualifications.”
