Trans man who had 33 surgeries after a botched SRS might just stop being a man so she can cry at films

The sheer number of de-transitions should tell these kids that this is a horrible mistake. I've heard this exact line from other women; "Brian consumed Breanna", like an alternative personality or another entity took over. It's very sad.

I actually get really mad about reddit and other SM being 'supportive' but not letting people know what can and does go wrong. People should be in possession of all the facts and selling someone a dream just feels cruel. Imagine how alone someone would feel that their surgery is the only one that's gone wrong and can then be pressured into keeping quiet and letting others make the same mistake because "their bad experience shouldn't stop others". It's infuriating.

Oh, I agree completely. Really, you shouldn't even be messing with those parts of your body. There is a lot that can go wrong, and I'm worried these kids aren't being told that. I do think, though, that this will begin to crumple in on itself soon. A lot of young people are de-transitioning, and I've seen some YouTube comments saying things like "thank you so much for sharing this, I think I'll skip bottom surgery!". Good. Maybe some degree of sanity is beginning to push forth. It's a shame it took this long, and claimed so many kids, though.

It's very telling that the most based and well-adjusted trans people I've seen (at least on YouTube) are the ones who didn't get bottom surgery. Think Blaire White, Buck Angel... the nuttiest ones seem to be the ones who went all in and are now having to double-down because they know there's no going back.

Really puts the lie to the argument that these surgeries are 'gender-affirming', let alone life-saving.

Yeah, Blaire White has his head on straight, more or less, with regards to this stuff. I still don't agree with what he's done to his body, but he's way more reasonable and objective than anyone else I've heard on this topic, and the fact that he actually fits into this demographic is telling.

(I refer to MTF guys as guys and he, and FTM women as female and she. That's just how I use language. I feel like that's better, and more honest. I know others may disagree, and that's fine. But the lie that people can change their biological sex has, I think, done a lot of damage, and I don't want to promote that lie.)
