I found one of the replies interesting "The only abuse I experienced was from transgender professionals calling me delusional, female and refusing/delaying help in returning to my birth gender."

Anyway, I feel some sympathy but only a limited amount; this person is an adult man and he was capable of making his own health decisions. Yes the healthcare and mental health system is and has been failing people in this area but lets face it this didn't happen without a significant push from trans lobbyists. It is what they demanded. I suspect this man stomped the odd foot or two himself with Reddit trans behind him egging him on every step of the way - he doesn't seem to be blaming them as well. I feel more sympathy for his family who have no doubt been through hell and for younger people going through this who need people to guide them. Yes there have been fundamental failures in the system but I don't feel that sorry for middle aged adult men who put their entire families through monumental crap who are now tired of hair removal. Accept some responsibility man, you put your fetish before your family and now it is too much effort for you to maintain. Remember this IS an adult, who made adult decisions and probably shouted down the people who disagreed with him.
