I don't know what to make of this, since I assume the show is heavily scripted and "past life regression" seems like a crock anyway.

What surgery is Jazz referring to? Bottom surgery? I feel bad that this person's life is a non-stop rollercoaster of medical interventions.

Yes. They ended up taking a piece of his colon to make the neovagina since he had a micropenis from puberty-blockers and CHT (cross-sex hormone therapy). There were a lot of complications and it required several subsequent surgeries.

It's horrific. If he doesn't die young of suicide, it'll be of disease caused by the hormones and surgeries.

Oh, it's you.

Actually, usehername, the reason Jazz ended up in the care of Drs Bower and Ting was that Jazz gets what Jazz wants, and the first couple of surgical consults recommended the sigmoid colon graft. Although many "trans women" get this done, trans activist Jazz openly mocked the procedure and expressed his disgust on national TV.

Bowers and Ting offered to use him as a lab animal for their groundbreaking experimental surgery using the penile skin, a graft extracted from his peritoneum and another skin graft to create a "quilt" to line the neovagina. This advance in "gender confirmation" surgery would have made Bowers and Ting the go-to for boys whose parents allowed doctors to poison them to prevent puberty.

Instead, as you said, Jazz suffered a year of horrific complications and surgical revisions, which his parents went to great lengths to conceal from the families who followed their leadership. When they finally came clean on a Facebook live session, Jazz boasted about his "seven inches of depth". That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. I laughed until I was in pain. I'm laughing out loud right now just thinking of it.

Lmao

I feel bad for him but I still laughed a little when I read that. God that's fucked. His parents and surgeons should be in jail.
