LGBTQ+++ activists claim those who associate gender dysmorphia with mental illness are bigots.
But teens who have undergone gender reassignment surgeries after believing they were born in the wrong body are warning against the detrimental effects puberty blockers, mastectomies and gender transitioning have had on their health.
After cutting it off, they are desperate to “detransition.”
“I was failed by the system,” 17-year-old Chloe Cole told the New York Post. “I can’t stay quiet… I need to do something about this and to share my own cautionary tale.”
The biological female says she realized she was transgender when she was 12. After telling her parents about her desire to become a boy, she was put on puberty blockers and prescribed testosterone a year later. When she was 15, she underwent a double mastectomy.
“Because all the therapists and specialists followed the affirmative care model, there wasn’t a lot of gate-keeping throughout the whole transition process,” she recalled. “The professionals all seemed to push medical transition, so I thought it was the only path for me to be happy.”
