I fucking hate to say it.This kid is going to commit suicide one day because of his crazy parents.And his parents are going to blame transphobia.

It's one of those cases where rather than thinking "how could this of happened" after the event people are thinking "how could this not happen" before it.

"How to monetize child abuse: The Show"

Exulansic's reaction posts are very revealing. When I saw this teaser, I assumed it was for the previous season. Jazz has been suffering from crippling physical and psychological issues since being started on puberty blockers at 11 or 12, and things are not getting better.

Anyone who has watching this show has seen him pleading with his mother to address the trauma of the surgeries that nearly killed him, only to be told to shut up because we don't want to scare off others. No one is willing to take his heath problems seriously or consider that they are a result of a destroyed endocrine system. Instead, everyone treats him like a moral failure and blames him for his own suffering.

Jazz is a failed experiment, they all know it, and they're just waiting on him to 41% so they can blame his death on TrAnSpHoBiA. I dunno, Mom, if your kid is receiving all this negative attention that is harming him, maybe don't force him into the spotlight constantly? I don't know what actual 'hate' he is receiving. It seems like most critics of this show are simply concerned for him (unlike his own family) and want his health and privacy to be preserved.

Ditto, how is this new?

I don't know what actual 'hate' he is receiving

None of them get any actual hate. The awful transphobic hate they refer to is anyone questioning the sanity of what they're doing.

I was on a Discord chat with stupid fucking youngins, cause that's apparently the only people who use Discord, and one of them says she's a transman. A moment later volunteers she's a sex repulsed virgin. I really wanted to suggest that just maybe she's not really a guy so much as she's afraid of being penetrated by some hairy, smelly dude and this identity protects her from that fear. Saying entirely reasonable things like that is hate.

This young man's life is pretty much ruined. He's a wreck, but has to keep up the "I'm a happy trans girl" routine to please his attention-starved, greedy mother. I feel kind of bad for him. I saw on "Kiwi F@rmz" that none of his surgeries have gone well (of course), and that's probably devastating, but he has to pretend to be cheerful and upbeat. It's awful.

transgender

mental health issues

A bit redundant.

[–]kingc-way245The Blackface of White Supremacy 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The fact that a show that blatantly encourages child grooming is not only running but also in its 8th season makes me sick to my stomach.

[–]handbananasrevenge 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This kid is a pawn in a sick game being played by adults who are using him to push an agenda and make money.

The fact that nobody is arresting these people for child abuse shows how fucked up our society has become.

I bet that when the cameras aren’t rolling, Jazz’s parents and handlers sit on him and make sure he’s not communicating with outsiders or has access to anything he could use to harm himself.

They know what’s coming and are going to ring every last cent and minute of coverage out of him that they can.

I wonder how long it is until a kid like this encounters the first challenge to their gender religion.

Probably the first time he tries to get laid and discovers that only fetishists actually want it.

Also, I'm calling it that any "death threats" exist entirely to sell the show. This shit is no more authentic than any other form of so-called reality TV.

[–]jet199 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Jazz has said he has zero sexual desire.

The wonderful thing about transing kids for munchausens mothers is the kids then have no desire to have relationships so will stay with Mommie Dearest forever.

Begs the question why he's going on all these 'dates'. He's not going to get anything out of them except pain and confusion. It's pretty apparent he's being set up so the family can have something to gossip about.

[–]alladd 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

The whole thing is fake. The first person he went on a 'date' with was hired to play a role from a casting call.

[–]Femaleisnthateful 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I mean, everything about 'reality TV' is so clearly scripted.

Okay, but does he actually mean that, or is it more in the line of "well, those grapes were probably sour anyway, so I didn't want to eat of them."

[–]jet199 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure he means he has zero sex drive or attraction to anyone.

He's been sterilised and never gone through proper puberty.

Oh well, sucks for him.

[–]SerpensInferna 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

He never went through puberty - his penis was too underdeveloped and small to do a "correct" vaginoplasty. He is, for all intents and purposes, a castrato. I can't imagine he actually feels any sexual desire at all.

[–]Datachost 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not even the fetishists will want him now he's had the snip

[–]LynchTheGroomers 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Let me solve your problems. Stop being trans. Thank you. Free of charge. You are now on the path to recovery.

[–]MyLongestJourney 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

He doesn't have his genitals anymore. There would never be a decent recovery without those.

[–]LynchTheGroomers 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's still a profit to cut out harm. Thems hormones be causing depression and at least he won't have to deal with suicidal thoughts as much. He could get a robot penis. 100% better than being a vile looking trans with a bussy that gets sweaty instead of wet and smells like a sewer with all the ingrown hairs.

[–]jet199 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No but he could have testosterone supplements which would be far healthier for him than what he's on right now.

[–]SerpensInferna 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is such a horror show. They took a little gay boy who liked wearing sparkly things and castrated him before he was old enough to even have a concept of what that would mean for the rest of his life. Now he lives not only with the physical pain of genital mutilation, but also with crippling mental and emotional issues that he can't even articulate, thanks to his monster of a mother.

This should be a shining example of why children should NOT be transed. Jazz did what TRAs are saying should be done - he had the hormones and operations done in plenty of time to stop him from growing into a man. Is he any healthier or happier for it? No, it's the opposite. He is stunted and mutilated for the rest of his life. God damn horror show.

If she's lucky, she'll detransition and they'll have a show about that.

That mom should be in prison.

According to statistical data, transgender individuals and communities experience shocking amounts of violence and discrimination. Trans and non-binary people face staggering rates of domestic, sexual violence, and often the targets of transphobic hate crimes.

According to statistics which don't exist but get repeated in my echo chamber.
