The obsession with gender identity needs to be addressed. I am grateful for these women sharing their history. I hope they each can truly love themselves.
Yes. We need to stop banning sex positive books in school. We need qualified people educating our children on LGBTQIA topics in a safe, for-kids environment. The misinformation being spread by the general population is hurting our kids. Let teachers teach, pay them more because they disserve it, invest in the knowledge of the next generation. Teachers have spent a long portion of their lives learning how to care for our kids. Let them.
A lot of gender dysphoric people are naval gazers. Stop questioning the way you look and the way the world sees you. Just BE, put efforts into people and activities outside of one’s self.
It's so problematic bc the term "gender identity" was coined by a literal pedophile. John Money was a total sociopath and experimented on twins and molested them and lied about his research for years. More people need to talk about it. The boys he abused are both dead now, the Reimer twins.
@@tentative_flora2690 Kids shouldnt be concerned with sexual issues. Thats how we got into this mess in the first place, exposing young immature kids to adult sexual proclivities. There are already young people identifying as animals and aliens or non-human. Puberty is a tumultuous time for everybody,, no kid should forced to pick an identity before they are old enough to make an informed decision,
The worst medical scandal of my lifetime. It's so surreal that this is what society has come to. Thank you to the brave ladies for sharing their stories.
I have compared it for some time now to the lobotomies performed in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Those too were procedures where healthy tissue was destroyed and people were maimed under the guise of helping them! We need more people to speak out so the world can see how atrocious this ideology truly is, and how much harm is done by its adherents.
I really hope that every single medical professional who supports and commits these experiments on humans, will face justice. That all people who fund this and push for legislation in support of this, will face justice. Thank you for sharing sisters, I wish you all the best in your lives.
I have never met any of these incredible women but words cannot express how proud I am of them. I pray all these ladies have happy and prosperous lives. Imagine all the lives they helping through their hard work and experiences. I wanna give a shout out to Graces husband. I cannot imagine how much he went through and still stood firm by his wifes side and was there for when she needed him the most. And of course thank you to Jennifer and CBC for putting together a masterpiece like this. The world needs to see it. We all need to be well informed.
Thank you for making this video! I hope someday my beautiful precious daughter makes it to the other side of this trap…these amazing young women give me hope.
Thank you ladies for your bravery in speaking about your experiences. This is such an important documentary. It may very well save many lives. We are in dark times but I hope that you feel lighter and brighter on your paths in life.
From what I've noticed with a lot of these stories is being on the autism spectrum seems common in ppl who think they are trans without actually having gender dysphoria. It is so sad what's going on with all these "doctors" and "educators".
Amazing women! Thank you for sharing their stories. I admire their strength, courage, honesty and perseverance. Keep speaking up and standing tall for yourselves, and all those that will come after you. Thank you for making these wonderful women's stories accessible to all.
Amazing documentary! I learnt so much and everybody involved in every single aspect of this documentary is the true definition of bravery and wisdom. Stay strong! x
I resonated with every point on the dangers of letting young women take testosterone, my experience with my puberty as a transwomen echoed those same points, losing my voice, becoming emotionally closed, getting angry, anxious unable to be sad. But also knowing that I wouldn't have breasts. I resonated with these stories.
I appreciate how much compassion that was used in this documentary. Not just with the women that have been affected but even with the people who are directly involved in these questionable practices and ideologies.
Beautifully done! Thank you so much for your voices. I know it can't be easy being in this fight with all the vitriol that is slung at you... you have my utmost admiration and respect. You all truly are amazing!
I am sitting here in tears. Excellent! Thanks to these beautiful ladies for sharing their experiences. The transition at the end about not giving away our words (woman, girls daughter etc) to that beautiful song was powerful. Should be seen by girls around the world. Bravo! 😢💯👏👏✊♥
Please help the kids who are falling for this. My 17 year old nephew is now "Kara". My friend's granddaughter (age 15) is now "Eddie". Both have grown up in single parent homes. I think that is a huge part of it. Thank you for this educational video!! ♥
These beautiful women seem remarkable in every way. I wish that I could reach the young people who need help seeing their talents and what is beautifully unique to them. They are strong, articulate and generous. I so appreciate that they have shared their stories. May life bring them peace and contentment.
These women are so brave. I’m beginning to realize that this story is a bigger story than we think, it’s a story of young girls who the system is failing to. Is a story about womanhood. It’s a story that can help women out there but especially more so to teen girls.
She is terrific. A great communicator. Notice she often wears the suffragette colours (green, purple, white). They must be so proud of her, wherever in the galaxies they are now, getting women organised. When that very uninformed mob attacked her in New Zealand a few months ago, they looked like throwbacks to our distant evolutionary past. Kellie's great skill is bringing out the fighting spirit in women. We're going to win this one, (1) because most people agree with us, and (2) women's most basic instinct is to protect children and (3) after 42,000 years of patriarchy we are ready to come in out of the cold.
This is the best documentary on the gender ideology issues that I have seen to date. My Daughter decided to start T at age 26 and has since had hysterectomy, partly due to endometriosis. I see so many similarities in all these detransitioned and my daughter. She had a magnificent soprano singing voice...now gone. She also has the exact same college degree as Cat. So, very educated. I lo e her to the moon and back but have not adoptee trans ideology. All I can do is show her my intense motherly love for her and pray for her. Thank you for this wonderful documentary!!!
I’m a female who identifies as a woman. I’m prescribed bio identical testosterone bc my body won’t make the amount that women should make which is a necessary amount for us to have. (This is typically for post menopausal women, I’m a few decades too young for this) Every few months when I need a refill, my doctor requires me to have my blood tested, because even a small women’s dosage can mess with bad cholesterol levels, and the affects should be monitored. Prescribing cross sex hormones without close monitoring of vitals is reckless, and ought to be considered malpractice. I’m not knocking the medical treatment of adults who need to transition to treat long term, persistent gender dysphoria- I fully support that. I’m only noting how much hormones are important to one’s physical, overall health. I’ve recently found our my years long chronic fatigue could be due to my thyroid, and endocrinologists are booked months out. I’m talking calling many doctors in May who can’t see me until October. Hormones are a lot more than just what our ovaries and nuts make.
This was such an engaging video these were beautiful told stories of woman truth and I relate as a woman feeling weird about my body as went through puberty. We need to teach our girls in middle school about the changes are bodies go through and psychological and mental stress we endure is normal. I used wear huge baggy clothes all through 7th and 8th grade because I hated my body and the attention I got from men and how boys treated me differently now.
Heart heart breaking. Cannot believe this has happened. The language is cruel too, top surgery is a mastectomy a double mastectomy, this is enforced menopause on the vulnerable these poor girls.
My parents were not supportive of anything LGBT. I had to find my own path online. I wish parents were educated on what kinds of things to be prepared to face when having a child. But more importantly I wish parents would just be supportive regardless of their child's identity. Not give more support for being more unique.
Absolutely beautiful women inside and out. Sharing their stories and actively trying to help others prevent making mistakes they unfortunately made. A stark contrast to the many that are apparently in the "misery loves company" camp. I'm struck with just how self aware and perfectly articulate every single one of them now are as adults. This reinforces the idea that all people have to ascend to adulthood, realize their full and true adult selves, before even entertaining making severe social, chemical and surgical changes to themselves. According to the NIH, ~80% of people with clinically diagnosed gender dysphoria that are allowed to pass through puberty, make peace with their bodies. The trans-propaganda movement will age very poorly. It's an insidious attack on the innocence and purity of childhood and the normal and universally tumultuous and anxious processes of puberty and coming of age. In 20 years we likely will look back astounded that this fad ever existed, and purveyors of it will likely distance themselves from any involvement in it. Many thousands of cases such as these, of unfortunate and unnecessary human misery could have been avoided if people could just learn to critically think and help guide children with wisdom instead of weakness. Kudos to these 3 amazing and truly beautiful women for having found their way through their respective ordeals and sharing their experiences for the betterment of others. Your stories, very thoughtful introspection, graceful strength and your now positive outlook brought me to tears.
This was amazing. I know had I been born a couple decades later that this would be me as well. Also there are a lot of parallels between the trans affirming healthcare and abortion services. I never thought I would regret having an abortion til I found myself in menopause and it was too late to have a baby. Women have expiration dates on their fertility and I missed my chance because I was poor and told it’s bad to bring a child into poverty. I was raised in poverty though and am grateful to have the life I’ve had. Now I not only live with the very real guilt of having exterminated two of my children (two abortions) I also will grow old with no one to take care of me. That’s the reality.
So incredibly sad😢 Thank you for sharing your journey. It's so normal for teens to feel awkward in their body.. we all feel self conscious of ourselves no matter how "beautiful " or "handsome " people say. It's about accepting ourselves, embracing our uniqueness. Why isn't this being shared? Follow the money!
Nobody ever turned around or looked at me or smiled at me, or showed extra kindness to me when I was trying to pass as a man, I was literally a ghost. I used to pass decently well, so at times I’d get looks of suspicion. In retrospective living life as a man socially speaking seems pretty depressing :( , like you can FEEL the lack of empathy for you in strangers around you.
Amazing ladies. You're AMAZING! Keep moving forward into the fullness of you're powerful beautiful womanhood. You're stories need to be shouted from the rooftops. God bless you all.
Mental health, low self esteem, feeling self concious about your body your personality, your abilities is part of the human experience. A journey that goes on within and not without and there are no short-cuts to self confidence and feeling ok in your own skin. Lesson by lesson, day by day you get there. You cannot cut it out so put the scapels away. Discomfort and uncertainity are part of life and it is in these triumphs that we appreciate ourselves and come to appreciate and accept the seemingly ecclectic mix of appearance, personality, skill set and soul that makes us, us.
The more I hear about the brutalization that these women put their healthy and beautiful bodies through it sounds more and more like the horrific WWII medical experiments done by the Nazis. It is that horrific from a medical standpoint and from a moral one it is just evil to subject children and teens to these procedures.
I relate to a lot of these women’s experiences. I’m also a detransitioner. I think the blame goes mostly on the irresponsible doctors, NPs, and organizations who are irresponsible with prescriptions for meds and surgeries by using informed consent and not considering therapy and looking more into their patients before prescribing. There’s some misinformation from the dark haired woman on the panel though. Most surgeons will only perform on 18+, hormones mostly given at age 16+. Before that children around 14 I believe can take puberty blockers, also prescribed for other illnesses. Not that there aren’t both mental and physical health concerns at these ages too, but saying 12 year olds are getting hysterectomies is false.
Common themes for posterity. This gender cult targets the following vulnerabilities in both girls and boys: - Undiagnosed Autism/ADHD or other neurodivergence or learning disorder - Struggles with Toxic Femininity/Masculinity and the expectations that come with your native sex - Being socially awkward, introverted and chronically online - Being same-sex attracted i.e. gay or bisexual - Growing up in an abusive or difficult circumstance and surviving trauma - Adult trauma/survivor of SA - Being a Tomboy or feminine man Feel free to add more in replies
I wanted to add OCD, although I'm not sure if it counts. But they seem to have an idea of the "perfect" woman or man and body and personality and trying to shoehorn themselves into it. Rather than accepting their body and gender and self and building their own person...accepting all their "imperfections" and eccentricities.
I actively called myself a tomgirl before I knew what being transgender meant. I wish we had a better education system that shows exactly what it means to be transgender, gay, feminine, masculine, what to expect from puberty, how to get through it. And personally I wish I knew what options there were to avoid my puberty. It killed a part of my soul to have to experience male puberty. I prayed daily to be a girl and my prayers went unanswered. I asked my parents why I felt like a girl sometimes ... or at least I tried to. Because that was shot down too. The only place that I could find others like myself was online. I wish I had role models as a nonbinary transwomen in my life. I wish I had that education. But I had to find it myself. I had to forge my own womanhood, because being a boy was forced on me and nobody would listen. I am a proud woman, a transwomen, facing some of the scariest bills being passed in my home state of Tennessee. My vulnerabilities as a child were exploited, as are my vulnerabilities as an adult. I just want to be myself. I just want to live.
@@tentative_flora2690There is no other puberty you could have gone through. The only other option is to fight natural puberty with blockers and that is not something that helps, it leaves you even more confused and out of touch with other people your age both male and female.
@@LoudMinded ... Um hey. You are attempting to inform ME about MY life. Please don't presume how in or out of touch with others I do/don't/would feel. Thanks.
5 months to this comment. This is really getting out of hand. Why is this still happening. Please help the people. The biggest problem with this is that if its not happening to them or in the family. No one cares.
Its sick to take healthy teenagers, at the most vulnerable time of a humans life, they are so impressionable and are at the most self concious, going through puberty and unsure of themselves. Not a single teenager 'has it together' mentally. Theres so many social dynamics in school and social pressures. Theyre 'treating' life crisis and mental health issues, puberty stress as if the child is broken in some way. Theyre being told to break down gender norms, but at the same time are literally having surgeries to change their genders because they don't fit the stereotypical 'norms' of what gender they were born as. I love dinosaurs too! Some women are strong mothers and also work in oil fields with men. There is no wrong way of being a woman!!
My heart is with those women. I know if I was a teenager today, I *so* would fall into that, being an introverted autistic girl who hated her own developing body, who was into manga and yaoi comics. I starved myself, I self-harmed, I hated my body. It took me a long time to accept my womanhood and lean into it, and now I love my body, love being a woman, imperfections and all. I'm a feminist and the topic of women transitioning tears me apart. On one hand, barring *adult* women from deciding about their own bodies, even if *I* perceive it as wrong, is inherently unfeminist. Though I would love to, I myself won't stop other women from destructive diets or plastic surgery or even continuing with a life-threatening pregnancy. If they're a friend, I will talk to them, sure, but adult women are capable of deciding for themselves (though the prevalence of self-destructive behaviors begs for better funded mental healthcare, worldwide). All in all, women had little choice in their lives over the centuries, and I hate seeing the choices being taken away again. However, escaping womanhood also feels wrong for me. It's not their fault, it's patriarchy, it's a society that values men more, it's the fear of heterosexual relationships that inherently are based on an inbalance of power (I'm lucky to be a lesbian, I guess). Unlike in history, where trans men were almost exclusively ex-butch lesbians, nowadays many of those young trans men are gay, and want to be with other men. I understand this need of more equal standing in relationships, but it's a delusion to believe that gay men will be interested in them. I feel like many of those young girls who go on to become gay trans men have never met actual gay men, only read gay fanfiction (which is in 99% written by women or afabs). I'm friends with many gay men, senior gay men included, and what connects them is the love of male physique, of male parts, which gay trans men will never truly achieve. It's a slippery slope into deep unhappiness. As women, we can't fix men, but fixing ourselves into men isn't a way to go either. I don't know, I'm cis, and try as I might, I can't understand the struggle of perceiving oneself in a wrong body (even though this is what was happening to me during puberty!). One last thing: I'm with everything, but not Posie Parker. The woman is funded by conservatives, she has accepted donations from far-right group Alliance Defending Freedom (which is openly anti-abortion and anti-LGBT rights) she has stated repeatedly she is not a feminist. She is just a terrible face of the movement.
And these woman are so beautiful and to think they didn't see themselves like that is heartbreaking 😢 I had a phase in my 16 the where I wished I was a boy..but it was just a fear of rejection and having to deal with hardships of being a teenager..only 2-3 years after I have changed my opinion about it. I was born in the '88 so we didn't have this internet pressure and things were easier to deal with.
I had surgery on the top of my skull for a benign tumor growing and the size of a half golf ball. The recovery was excruciating. The surgeons need to describe it the same as my 8 inch scar on the top of my head, now in old age causing cranial scar neuroma. It hurts but I manage. I am 66. My ex husband chose to get his testes and penis cut off. Never seemed happy after. I live, him?
Damn Ute. You've been through a lot. My mother had a benign tumour removed from her brain, they went in the back at the top of her neck. Recovery went well but was looong. Chronic fatigue and a damaged vagus nerve during surgery left her with difficulty swallowing so a lot of weight loss and her voices volume was affected. She's doing great now 12 years down the line. She's a fighter, like you! Your ex husband is lost in his fetish that consumes him, trapped in darkness while you forge forward. We should pity him, though its difficult.
Cat!! 😭😭😭😭 As a musician, i really feel for her when she said she was hesitant to get the testosterone because it might affect her voice (which it did). Im so glad she and the other 2 strong women are in a better place now.
I am a 19 year old female to male back to female detransitioner. I just realized that I am a Genderqueer woman. I do not judge or hate those who transition, but I no longer pioneer transition, however if a person is gonna transition they should be age 25+.
God bless these women for making it out alive from this cult, as Posey Parker calls it. A good name for it. All of them are children of God (not stardust, fortunately) and I hope they find their true happiness in marriage and motherhood; what we were made for. Be it done unto me according to thy Word.
This hits me so hard. As a person assigned male at birth I experienced the same things that these women are talking about with testosterone. Like i knew at a young age that I was supposed to grow breasts and my period would start. But that never happened. I was never told about being a transwomen and didn't know how much testosterone would harm me. Not having trans healthcare as a kid, I feel like a part of my soul died in puberty. The same things about loving my voice until it started getting deeper. The same feelings of loosing a part of myself with the emotional changes. I will never get that part of my soul back. I will never know what it meant to be a child. Only now that I have been on Hormone replacement therapy do I see hope of getting my girlhood back. I am 29. Imagine being forced to have to be a child in your 30s. Experiancing all the strange changes of becoming a woman, when people already expect you to have that experience. But no. The deep depression testosterone and being seen as a boy my entire life had me under. I just wanted to be seen. And now that i am seen in my late 20s I cannot describe how happy I feel, how much I wish I had done this sooner, how much I wish I had known what life could be for me. I am a woman, a proud to be beautiful woman, a transwomen. I am experiencing my true puberty late. But at least i get to finally experience that. There are permanent changes that testosterone has made that I cannot undo. And while I hate that these women had to go through the same things, I hate even more the lack of family support before starting that transition. I hate the improper education of what being trans actually means. I hate the general lack of understanding of LGBTQIA people from everyone in society. I wish parents would support their kids. Full stop, period, support your kids, let them know what puberty will be like, have deep conversations about their emotions surrounding that, make an environment where they feel safe to talk to you about the harder things in life. Trauma can definitely confuse your identity, your sense of self. Talk it out, go to people you trust to be non-judgemental and talk to them. Never take a strangers unsolicited advice. You should be the ultimate guide of your destiny, you should be given your rights to life, liberty and pursuit of your happiness. I want to say, I live in Tennessee. If it becomes illegal for my endocrinologist to continue my hormone prescription I will find it elsewhere. I don't want to have to have that experience of being a testosterone dominant woman again.
You went through natural puberty. It's not even remotely comparable to perfectly healthy young girls being given testosterone. What should have happened is they should have gotten help with their mental illness, not making changes to their bodies. Same goes for you, the problem is in your head and nobody is being treated for it. We're celebrating and indulging people's delusions. We don't do that with any other mental illness.
You seem to be searching for something you would have never had. You wouldn't have experienced, regardless of when you transitioned, a menstrual cycle , or those naturally occurring parts of growing from a little girl into a teen and then a woman. I'm not being unkind, but honest. Testosterone is natural to your body. These women were putting a hormone into their body that is not nature. That's why it's called cross sex hormones. As a woman myself, I can respect biological men presenting as women, but it's not the same . It's so important for your community to understand and accept that if you respect women, you will also respect that you're a trans woman, not a woman.
@@beanj580 honestly? I have to disagree. Thank you for your reply by the way it means a lot to have people actually respond as an equal. First off I want to address something. Women in this society are people who play the role of womenhood. And calling a woman with red hair, a red-haired woman doesn't make her less of a woman. Regardless of what hair color she was born with. I would not say I was seeking something I would never have had. Nor did I even know what a menstrual cycle was before my first puberty. My brain expected a certain course of development and got something else. Coming from somewhere deeply innate to my nature from as early as I had thoughts to process that people were different. I am a woman. One with a different path of development, but a woman none-the-less. My lack of a menstrual cycle is no different from other women who never get one. Ones with early menopause. And the course of treatment is exactly the same. When women in this society have imbalanced hormones they take HRT. If the problem persists untreated for long enough, testosterone poisoning can result. Leading to conditions that are permanent without surgery. This often even results in changes in external genitalia. My hormone imbalance started from birth. Perhaps even in the womb. Karyotypes tests are expensive, and therefore I have no idea what chromosomes I have. Nor does it matter when I am a healthy adult with a known condition that can be and is well treated under modern medical practices. I have no doubt that I am a woman. Even if my body naturally had an untreated hormone imbalance. To say that testosterone is natural to my body isn't entirely wrong. But a misleading statement. Testosterone is natural to every humans body. But in women, testosterone dominance isn't natural. And it has caused me many medical issues that have severely negatively impacted my health. Including unreasonable anger, depression, thoughts of suicide, infertility, abnormally high libido, masculinization of my bone structure including minor changes to my jaw, abnormal height, broad shoulders and pronounced chin. I lost my feminine singing voice and I am struggling to train it back. Though I know it's possible, I cannot afford a vocal coach. I have facial hair and minor hair loss. Though I think I caught it early enough to mostly prevent hair loss. All of these things negatively impact my life. To reduce my condition to a mere "wish to have a period" is presumptuous and a little insulting. I have come to terms with not having a normal cycle. That's kinda what menopause means. When I went to get Hormone therapy, that is what it was referred to as. Hormone therapy. It reads on the package that I was prescribed for estrogen because of my low estrogen levels and a testosterone blocker for my high testosterone levels. This is exactly how they treat any women going through menopause, and is what it says the drugs are used for in the pamphlet I was given with the drugs. And notably they did not say that they are used for transitional therapy. So please with due respect. I am not a "biological man presenting as a woman." Because transwomen are not men, we were never men. Transwomen are women. Apologies if you disagree, but that is how every field of study on the subject has concluded. That is the common practice in modern medicine and psychology. There is endless research that has been done and continues to be done that supports this. And I am not accusing you of any kind of ignorance. Nor is this next sentence directly at you. I am so fucking tired of being used as a political punching bag, and a pawn to promote the elimination of rights for women on the basis of protecting the children because I look different. Just because it's easy to target me because I am so visibly different, doesn't make me the issue in society. Those who throw the stones are the problem. What baffles me the most though? Why the people who are the most anti-media, anti-government, are the ones arguing alongside popular media right now. Why are they standing with the most rich and powerful against me? As if my poor ass has any power over them whatsoever. As if I could harm you, your life, or your family even if I wanted to. I want this animosity between us to end. It is being artificially stirred to distract from the fact that there is currently a congressional convention being voted on right now. They are trying to slip the entirety of the United States Constitution out from under us. And you are worried about me. Please. I need you to know. I am a neighbor. I am ready and willing to share a cup of sugar if you need. I am willing to speak up when you are in trouble. I was raised in a deeply pious family and know the fruits of the spirit by heart: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I am here in support of traditional family values where kids get to have two loving parents who can support them. Where the community helps care for those without such support and where they can get a safe education to prepare them as best we can into the future. God said that you would know his children by their fruits. It is my prayer that you see the fruits of the spirit in me and can know that I am not your enemy here.
@@tentative_flora2690 I'm not from the USA, and couldn't be further from the right political positions over there. People are not on the side of the rich and powerful against you, people are against the rich and powerful getting more money while selling unsafe therapies to confused children and young adults, and using their power to change laws so they can push these cultist/religious beliefs onto secular societies.
You are all beautiful women. God knew what He was doing when He created you with a purpose. Thank you so much for speaking out. I'm sure you will help so many other girls and women. God bless you. Stay the course.
It's evil, slicing off a girls or woman's breasts; how can that make a woman or girl happy? PARENTS get your head out, do your job say "no" to your kids and protect them against this dangerous and life altering idiocy. Tell them when they are adults and support themselves they can do what they want. My mom used to say, my house my rules; your house you can do as you damn well please.
Planned Parenthood is destroying my sons life. He started HRT recently at 21. He has had the same girlfriend since 16. Graduated 2020 pandemic year. Kinda a lock down into adulthood. He moved in with his girlfriends family. His girlfriend is bisexuality and says she her pronouns are confusing. My son just came on father's day and told me he had started injections and meds for transitioning. We have a family history of cancer, heart issues, I had a blood clot at 29 almost kill me. He told them none of his family health history. He does not dress or act feminine. He doesn't like things like make up or doing hair. I was shocked when he told me. I was preparing myself to say he got his girlfriend pregnant. I told him i would always love him and support him but that I thought before taking medical life risking steps he should start slower to make sure this is what he wants. Like dress in female clothes, play with make up, try padded bras, and take it slower. He basically said I was from another time and just didn't get it. Also I have not been around my son since he moved out. His girlfriend will not let him come visit family without her or even give privacy for a conversation. I asked him would he still be happy with the decision to transition if he and his girlfriend were to ever break up. He just went defensive saying that will never happen we are together forever. He refused to look past this current relationship. He says he is not removing his penis that he has no gender disphoria with that part of himself. This left me more confused. I grew up going to alternative lifestyle clubs in the 90s. I have friends now and when I was young that are gay, drag queens, aunts who are lesbians. Due to saying my concerns about his health and how fast he has jumped into this he blocked me. Even though I pay for his phone.... He has no other relationship experience, never lived alone, and she has isolated him from friends and family. She has also cost him jobs with her clingness. Now they plan to be a lesbian couple. I am just a confused mom who wants her child to take such a lifelong choice slower. Planned parenthood told him the sooner he starts the better.
Is there any way of contacting these brave women to see if they are available for a speakers event in Dc Nov 3? #MotherIsFemale please if you can link me to them or know anyone who would like to join us out there !
Such a nice film! We need to stop this nonsense as a society. Please make a film for detrans men as well. They suffer too and have way less support these days.
Leave the children alone being a young person in this society is confusing give them time and love. They can decide when their mature and ready they may realize that they thought wrong or right but time will tell. Between 0-18 they are confused kids not sure about anything. So before they make an irreversible decision let them grow and mature. Stupid system.
May GOD bless and protect you in the mighty name of JESUS! May GOD and JESUS break every chain the enemy has formed against you and liberate you! May GOD and JESUS fill you with GODliness and love to get through any challenge! GOD IS GOOD! JESUS IS GOOD! GOD is love in times of hate, GOD is strength in times of weakness, GOD is light in times of darkness, GOD is harmony in times of chaos, and GOD is all you need and more! If you need more love/strength/anything GOD is there! GOD LOVES YOU JESUS LOVES YOU! GOD BLESS!
I am in this situation with my 14 year old daughter who told us a few days ago that she's in the wrong body. We have never seen any evidence of her being unhappy with her body. She recently wanted to wear a bikini on our family vacation. She will not listen to anything we have to say. I will try and get her to watch this video, but once she has something in her head it is very hard for her to see any conflicting information. I told her "no" to anything that could harm her body, and that I would call her a shortened version of her name vs calling her my son. I'm afraid to take her to therapy due to gender affirming care. We, as her parents, need help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
We stuck to our boundaries (nothing that could harm her body). We told her we loved her regardless of her gender identity. We told her we would support her as an adult if she transitioned. She is back to her normal self now.@@chelseahammond2716
May God bless these young women for being so brave in giving their testimonies. I pray they can be very influential in helping other girls and women to NOT go through with what the culture is almost forcing them to do - it's all satanic lies.
It's sad how twisted things have become. A deep confusion about what being male or female brought on by what once was feminism but now is more a denial of nature, combined with opportunistic pharmaceutical companies and doctors who don't want to be ostracized is what has led to this.
That Helena is so pretty... Here's the thing about a lot of the trans people - they are so invested and all-in on this ideology that it wouldn't make sense to go back on it from where they are. Someone in marketing has realized that pride and denial are major money-makers. There's talk of the oppressed scale - anyone else notice most trans-ppl and detrans ppl are white? Who's really oppressed nowadays? Is this not a ticket out of that basic white person status? That oppression all stems from resentment and envy, btw - everyone else is jealous that we white ppl made everything everybody loves about their modern lives - we're the only group with a real actual REASON for pride, which is why we're warded away from it. Time to wake up, guys - this is our country. Swan Lake - good music, great voices.
The obsession with gender identity needs to be addressed. I am grateful for these women sharing their history. I hope they each can truly love themselves.
Yes. We need to stop banning sex positive books in school. We need qualified people educating our children on LGBTQIA topics in a safe, for-kids environment. The misinformation being spread by the general population is hurting our kids. Let teachers teach, pay them more because they disserve it, invest in the knowledge of the next generation. Teachers have spent a long portion of their lives learning how to care for our kids. Let them.
A lot of gender dysphoric people are naval gazers. Stop questioning the way you look and the way the world sees you. Just BE, put efforts into people and activities outside of one’s self.
It's so problematic bc the term "gender identity" was coined by a literal pedophile. John Money was a total sociopath and experimented on twins and molested them and lied about his research for years. More people need to talk about it. The boys he abused are both dead now, the Reimer twins.
@@tentative_flora2690 Kids shouldnt be concerned with sexual issues. Thats how we got into this mess in the first place, exposing young immature kids to adult sexual proclivities.
There are already young people identifying as animals and aliens or non-human.
Puberty is a tumultuous time for everybody,, no kid should forced to pick an identity before they are old enough to make an informed decision,
The worst medical scandal of my lifetime. It's so surreal that this is what society has come to.
Thank you to the brave ladies for sharing their stories.
Ikrr!! Growing up in the 90s, i thought, we left primitive stuff like that far behind us...
I have compared it for some time now to the lobotomies performed in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Those too were procedures where healthy tissue was destroyed and people were maimed under the guise of helping them! We need more people to speak out so the world can see how atrocious this ideology truly is, and how much harm is done by its adherents.
Surreal doesn’t even really fully cover it… It’s beyond surreal!
I really hope that every single medical professional who supports and commits these experiments on humans, will face justice. That all people who fund this and push for legislation in support of this, will face justice.
Thank you for sharing sisters, I wish you all the best in your lives.
Face justice, where in what system? No one gets their due anymore

I have never met any of these incredible women but words cannot express how proud I am of them. I pray all these ladies have happy and prosperous lives. Imagine all the lives they helping through their hard work and experiences. I wanna give a shout out to Graces husband. I cannot imagine how much he went through and still stood firm by his wifes side and was there for when she needed him the most.
And of course thank you to Jennifer and CBC for putting together a masterpiece like this. The world needs to see it. We all need to be well informed.
Thank you to all who participated in this film, the young women who shared their stories, to Posie Parker and everyone who put this film together.
Thank you for making this video! I hope someday my beautiful precious daughter makes it to the other side of this trap…these amazing young women give me hope.
When Grace’s face fell a little, talking about her concerns for her fertility, I started crying. I’m a mom, and it breaks me for our kids. ❤
I didn't start crying, but yeah, hit me too. God bless her, I hope she will be able to have children.
Thank you ladies for your bravery in speaking about your experiences. This is such an important documentary. It may very well save many lives. We are in dark times but I hope that you feel lighter and brighter on your paths in life.
From what I've noticed with a lot of these stories is being on the autism spectrum seems common in ppl who think they are trans without actually having gender dysphoria. It is so sad what's going on with all these "doctors" and "educators".
This was really good. Thanks to these women for so clearly sharing their stories. ❤
Amazing women! Thank you for sharing their stories. I admire their strength, courage, honesty and perseverance. Keep speaking up and standing tall for yourselves, and all those that will come after you. Thank you for making these wonderful women's stories accessible to all.
Amazing documentary! I learnt so much and everybody involved in every single aspect of this documentary is the true definition of bravery and wisdom. Stay strong! x
So important to hear these life experiences. Very brave women to speak so candidly and open about it all. Thank you for bringing this to us.
You are so welcome!
I resonated with every point on the dangers of letting young women take testosterone, my experience with my puberty as a transwomen echoed those same points, losing my voice, becoming emotionally closed, getting angry, anxious unable to be sad. But also knowing that I wouldn't have breasts. I resonated with these stories.
Thank you to all the women on board with this project. So important
I appreciate how much compassion that was used in this documentary. Not just with the women that have been affected but even with the people who are directly involved in these questionable practices and ideologies.
Beautifully done! Thank you so much for your voices. I know it can't be easy being in this fight with all the vitriol that is slung at you... you have my utmost admiration and respect. You all truly are amazing!
Thank you ladies for sharing your stories. As a health care professional I am so sorry the health care field let you down.
I am sitting here in tears. Excellent! Thanks to these beautiful ladies for sharing their experiences. The transition at the end about not giving away our words (woman, girls daughter etc) to that beautiful song was powerful. Should be seen by girls around the world. Bravo! 😢💯👏👏✊♥
Please help the kids who are falling for this. My 17 year old nephew is now "Kara". My friend's granddaughter (age 15) is now "Eddie". Both have grown up in single parent homes. I think that is a huge part of it. Thank you for this educational video!! ♥
I hope Kara and Eddie live happy lives. :3
Amazing and important documentary. Very well done. Nicely edited. Very DIRECT and non-ideological. Brava!
These beautiful women seem remarkable in every way. I wish that I could reach the young people who need help seeing their talents and what is beautifully unique to them. They are strong, articulate and generous. I so appreciate that they have shared their stories. May life bring them peace and contentment.
thanks so much for sharing your stories
These women are so brave. I’m beginning to realize that this story is a bigger story than we think, it’s a story of young girls who the system is failing to. Is a story about womanhood. It’s a story that can help women out there but especially more so to teen girls.
Kellie J is my Woman of the year, of this Century. Thank you for letting women speak.
She is terrific. A great communicator. Notice she often wears the suffragette colours (green, purple, white). They must be so proud of her, wherever in the galaxies they are now, getting women organised. When that very uninformed mob attacked her in New Zealand a few months ago, they looked like throwbacks to our distant evolutionary past. Kellie's great skill is bringing out the fighting spirit in women. We're going to win this one, (1) because most people agree with us, and (2) women's most basic instinct is to protect children and (3) after 42,000 years of patriarchy we are ready to come in out of the cold.
This video doesn't have enough views...more people should see it..people,share it! Who knows who will be saved by this!
This is the best documentary on the gender ideology issues that I have seen to date. My Daughter decided to start T at age 26 and has since had hysterectomy, partly due to endometriosis. I see so many similarities in all these detransitioned and my daughter. She had a magnificent soprano singing voice...now gone. She also has the exact same college degree as Cat. So, very educated. I lo e her to the moon and back but have not adoptee trans ideology. All I can do is show her my intense motherly love for her and pray for her. Thank you for this wonderful documentary!!!
pray for him* but sure
Really brilliant video
I’m a female who identifies as a woman. I’m prescribed bio identical testosterone bc my body won’t make the amount that women should make which is a necessary amount for us to have. (This is typically for post menopausal women, I’m a few decades too young for this) Every few months when I need a refill, my doctor requires me to have my blood tested, because even a small women’s dosage can mess with bad cholesterol levels, and the affects should be monitored.
Prescribing cross sex hormones without close monitoring of vitals is reckless, and ought to be considered malpractice. I’m not knocking the medical treatment of adults who need to transition to treat long term, persistent gender dysphoria- I fully support that. I’m only noting how much hormones are important to one’s physical, overall health.
I’ve recently found our my years long chronic fatigue could be due to my thyroid, and endocrinologists are booked months out. I’m talking calling many doctors in May who can’t see me until October. Hormones are a lot more than just what our ovaries and nuts make.
And no, I’m not a detransitioner, my ovaries are just jank lmao I’ve got a peculiar type of PCOS
We don't need to "identify" as women - or anything.
This is absolutely brilliant. Moving, truthful, courageous. THANKYOU all who were involved in this film.
This was such an engaging video these were beautiful told stories of woman truth and I relate as a woman feeling weird about my body as went through puberty. We need to teach our girls in middle school about the changes are bodies go through and psychological and mental stress we endure is normal. I used wear huge baggy clothes all through 7th and 8th grade because I hated my body and the attention I got from men and how boys treated me differently now.
So true! The boys should be the ones shamed into transitioning.... oh wait, good news, that's happening too!
Heart heart breaking. Cannot believe this has happened. The language is cruel too, top surgery is a mastectomy a double mastectomy, this is enforced menopause on the vulnerable these poor girls.
The courage of these women is inspiring! In speaking the truth, they have given a priceless gift to the girls our society is failing.
Any parent who goes along with this is so confused. This is so sad. Thank you sisters for being honest and sharing your story. Hod Bless you all.
My parents were not supportive of anything LGBT. I had to find my own path online. I wish parents were educated on what kinds of things to be prepared to face when having a child. But more importantly I wish parents would just be supportive regardless of their child's identity. Not give more support for being more unique.
Beautiful production!! I will be sharing.
Absolutely beautiful women inside and out. Sharing their stories and actively trying to help others prevent making mistakes they unfortunately made. A stark contrast to the many that are apparently in the "misery loves company" camp. I'm struck with just how self aware and perfectly articulate every single one of them now are as adults. This reinforces the idea that all people have to ascend to adulthood, realize their full and true adult selves, before even entertaining making severe social, chemical and surgical changes to themselves. According to the NIH, ~80% of people with clinically diagnosed gender dysphoria that are allowed to pass through puberty, make peace with their bodies. The trans-propaganda movement will age very poorly. It's an insidious attack on the innocence and purity of childhood and the normal and universally tumultuous and anxious processes of puberty and coming of age. In 20 years we likely will look back astounded that this fad ever existed, and purveyors of it will likely distance themselves from any involvement in it. Many thousands of cases such as these, of unfortunate and unnecessary human misery could have been avoided if people could just learn to critically think and help guide children with wisdom instead of weakness. Kudos to these 3 amazing and truly beautiful women for having found their way through their respective ordeals and sharing their experiences for the betterment of others. Your stories, very thoughtful introspection, graceful strength and your now positive outlook brought me to tears.
Those proffesionals they are seeing need to be in jail, and forced to transition as well.
Such an important movie. Thank you!
This was amazing. I know had I been born a couple decades later that this would be me as well. Also there are a lot of parallels between the trans affirming healthcare and abortion services. I never thought I would regret having an abortion til I found myself in menopause and it was too late to have a baby. Women have expiration dates on their fertility and I missed my chance because I was poor and told it’s bad to bring a child into poverty. I was raised in poverty though and am grateful to have the life I’ve had. Now I not only live with the very real guilt of having exterminated two of my children (two abortions) I also will grow old with no one to take care of me. That’s the reality.
That's the decision and consequences that you made. Not everyone will have the outcome that you did. Thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your pain and loss. I pray the Lord can bring you comfort.
So incredibly sad😢 Thank you for sharing your journey. It's so normal for teens to feel awkward in their body.. we all feel self conscious of ourselves no matter how "beautiful " or "handsome " people say. It's about accepting ourselves, embracing our uniqueness. Why isn't this being shared? Follow the money!
Nobody ever turned around or looked at me or smiled at me, or showed extra kindness to me when I was trying to pass as a man, I was literally a ghost. I used to pass decently well, so at times I’d get looks of suspicion. In retrospective living life as a man socially speaking seems pretty depressing :( , like you can FEEL the lack of empathy for you in strangers around you.
Congratulations, you learned what it's like to be a man...
@@hansemannluchter643 I’ll never learn the full truth because it’s impossible, but I’m sorry the world is like this. I’m sorry man
@@thetwelfth9987 Don't be sorry, it's not your fault the World is like it is. We all have to find our own way to live in it.
True.... it's not all they say it is.... and isolation and spiraling down self esteem is so much a part of this choice
Amazing ladies. You're AMAZING! Keep moving forward into the fullness of you're powerful beautiful womanhood. You're stories need to be shouted from the rooftops. God bless you all.
Mental health, low self esteem, feeling self concious about your body your personality, your abilities is part of the human experience. A journey that goes on within and not without and there are no short-cuts to self confidence and feeling ok in your own skin. Lesson by lesson, day by day you get there. You cannot cut it out so put the scapels away. Discomfort and uncertainity are part of life and it is in these triumphs that we appreciate ourselves and come to appreciate and accept the seemingly ecclectic mix of appearance, personality, skill set and soul that makes us, us.
What brave young women to tell their stories so openly and honestly. May their voices help to put an end to the lies our society currently celebrates.
The more I hear about the brutalization that these women put their healthy and beautiful bodies through it sounds more and more like the horrific WWII medical experiments done by the Nazis. It is that horrific from a medical standpoint and from a moral one it is just evil to subject children and teens to these procedures.
Yet they call those of us protesting this, as "N-z-s"!🤔
I’m so proud of these young ladies, they are brave for speaking out about this predatory medical practice.
The song at the end is beautiful, lovely voice 🥰
So sax to watch. A very important documentary. Thank you.
Very well done. Finally a view from people who’s experiences matter as well. Thank you.
thank you for telling us your stories
I relate to a lot of these women’s experiences. I’m also a detransitioner. I think the blame goes mostly on the irresponsible doctors, NPs, and organizations who are irresponsible with prescriptions for meds and surgeries by using informed consent and not considering therapy and looking more into their patients before prescribing.
There’s some misinformation from the dark haired woman on the panel though. Most surgeons will only perform on 18+, hormones mostly given at age 16+. Before that children around 14 I believe can take puberty blockers, also prescribed for other illnesses. Not that there aren’t both mental and physical health concerns at these ages too, but saying 12 year olds are getting hysterectomies is false.
She traded her voice to the sea witch for a transformation. 😔
Thank you for this film!
Common themes for posterity. This gender cult targets the following vulnerabilities in both girls and boys:
- Undiagnosed Autism/ADHD or other neurodivergence or learning disorder
- Struggles with Toxic Femininity/Masculinity and the expectations that come with your native sex
- Being socially awkward, introverted and chronically online
- Being same-sex attracted i.e. gay or bisexual
- Growing up in an abusive or difficult circumstance and surviving trauma
- Adult trauma/survivor of SA
- Being a Tomboy or feminine man
Feel free to add more in replies
I wanted to add OCD, although I'm not sure if it counts. But they seem to have an idea of the "perfect" woman or man and body and personality and trying to shoehorn themselves into it. Rather than accepting their body and gender and self and building their own person...accepting all their "imperfections" and eccentricities.
I actively called myself a tomgirl before I knew what being transgender meant. I wish we had a better education system that shows exactly what it means to be transgender, gay, feminine, masculine, what to expect from puberty, how to get through it. And personally I wish I knew what options there were to avoid my puberty. It killed a part of my soul to have to experience male puberty. I prayed daily to be a girl and my prayers went unanswered. I asked my parents why I felt like a girl sometimes ... or at least I tried to. Because that was shot down too. The only place that I could find others like myself was online. I wish I had role models as a nonbinary transwomen in my life. I wish I had that education. But I had to find it myself. I had to forge my own womanhood, because being a boy was forced on me and nobody would listen.
I am a proud woman, a transwomen, facing some of the scariest bills being passed in my home state of Tennessee.
My vulnerabilities as a child were exploited, as are my vulnerabilities as an adult. I just want to be myself. I just want to live.
@@tentative_flora2690There is no other puberty you could have gone through. The only other option is to fight natural puberty with blockers and that is not something that helps, it leaves you even more confused and out of touch with other people your age both male and female.

Bravo! God bless these brave ladies and their journey to wholeness and love for themselves!
5 months to this comment. This is really getting out of hand. Why is this still happening. Please help the people. The biggest problem with this is that if its not happening to them or in the family. No one cares.
Its sick to take healthy teenagers, at the most vulnerable time of a humans life, they are so impressionable and are at the most self concious, going through puberty and unsure of themselves. Not a single teenager 'has it together' mentally. Theres so many social dynamics in school and social pressures. Theyre 'treating' life crisis and mental health issues, puberty stress as if the child is broken in some way. Theyre being told to break down gender norms, but at the same time are literally having surgeries to change their genders because they don't fit the stereotypical 'norms' of what gender they were born as. I love dinosaurs too! Some women are strong mothers and also work in oil fields with men. There is no wrong way of being a woman!!
My heart is with those women. I know if I was a teenager today, I *so* would fall into that, being an introverted autistic girl who hated her own developing body, who was into manga and yaoi comics. I starved myself, I self-harmed, I hated my body. It took me a long time to accept my womanhood and lean into it, and now I love my body, love being a woman, imperfections and all.
I'm a feminist and the topic of women transitioning tears me apart.
On one hand, barring *adult* women from deciding about their own bodies, even if *I* perceive it as wrong, is inherently unfeminist. Though I would love to, I myself won't stop other women from destructive diets or plastic surgery or even continuing with a life-threatening pregnancy. If they're a friend, I will talk to them, sure, but adult women are capable of deciding for themselves (though the prevalence of self-destructive behaviors begs for better funded mental healthcare, worldwide). All in all, women had little choice in their lives over the centuries, and I hate seeing the choices being taken away again.
However, escaping womanhood also feels wrong for me. It's not their fault, it's patriarchy, it's a society that values men more, it's the fear of heterosexual relationships that inherently are based on an inbalance of power (I'm lucky to be a lesbian, I guess). Unlike in history, where trans men were almost exclusively ex-butch lesbians, nowadays many of those young trans men are gay, and want to be with other men. I understand this need of more equal standing in relationships, but it's a delusion to believe that gay men will be interested in them. I feel like many of those young girls who go on to become gay trans men have never met actual gay men, only read gay fanfiction (which is in 99% written by women or afabs). I'm friends with many gay men, senior gay men included, and what connects them is the love of male physique, of male parts, which gay trans men will never truly achieve. It's a slippery slope into deep unhappiness. As women, we can't fix men, but fixing ourselves into men isn't a way to go either.
I don't know, I'm cis, and try as I might, I can't understand the struggle of perceiving oneself in a wrong body (even though this is what was happening to me during puberty!).
One last thing: I'm with everything, but not Posie Parker. The woman is funded by conservatives, she has accepted donations from far-right group Alliance Defending Freedom (which is openly anti-abortion and anti-LGBT rights) she has stated repeatedly she is not a feminist. She is just a terrible face of the movement.
These kids are going to need our help. I feel an avalanche approaching.
And these woman are so beautiful and to think they didn't see themselves like that is heartbreaking 😢 I had a phase in my 16 the where I wished I was a boy..but it was just a fear of rejection and having to deal with hardships of being a teenager..only 2-3 years after I have changed my opinion about it. I was born in the '88 so we didn't have this internet pressure and things were easier to deal with.
Amazing share this let everyone see
This looks like the biggest experiment on human kind without saying it is an experiment.
Love this. Really good.
I had surgery on the top of my skull for a benign tumor growing and the size of a half golf ball. The recovery was excruciating. The surgeons need to describe it the same as my 8 inch scar on the top of my head, now in old age causing cranial scar neuroma. It hurts but I manage. I am 66. My ex husband chose to get his testes and penis cut off. Never seemed happy after. I live, him?
Damn Ute. You've been through a lot. My mother had a benign tumour removed from her brain, they went in the back at the top of her neck. Recovery went well but was looong. Chronic fatigue and a damaged vagus nerve during surgery left her with difficulty swallowing so a lot of weight loss and her voices volume was affected. She's doing great now 12 years down the line. She's a fighter, like you!
Your ex husband is lost in his fetish that consumes him, trapped in darkness while you forge forward. We should pity him, though its difficult.
@@littleboots9800 God bless her.
Very well done. This will help some people.
Beautifully made❤
These are the stories that need to be on tic toc.
No! don't stuff silicone into your body! it makes women really sick
Maybe we need to stop obsessing about OURSELVES and accepting who we are - like we did in the 90s!
Lol, meanwhile the 90s: Size 8 is soooo fat, ewwww.
Everybody should watch The Lost Boys, new documentary from the same team, about the boys.
Brava, brava, brava! ❤
Cat!! 😭😭😭😭 As a musician, i really feel for her when she said she was hesitant to get the testosterone because it might affect her voice (which it did). Im so glad she and the other 2 strong women are in a better place now.
I am a 19 year old female to male back to female detransitioner. I just realized that I am a Genderqueer woman. I do not judge or hate those who transition, but I no longer pioneer transition, however if a person is gonna transition they should be age 25+.
Excellent job ladies. ❤
Like COVID, WAR and actually everything else - FOLLOW THE MONEY! This is another money grab at the expense of WOMEN!
❤❤❤
God bless these women for making it out alive from this cult, as Posey Parker calls it. A good name for it. All of them are children of God (not stardust, fortunately) and I hope they find their true happiness in marriage and motherhood; what we were made for. Be it done unto me according to thy Word.
This hits me so hard. As a person assigned male at birth I experienced the same things that these women are talking about with testosterone. Like i knew at a young age that I was supposed to grow breasts and my period would start. But that never happened. I was never told about being a transwomen and didn't know how much testosterone would harm me. Not having trans healthcare as a kid, I feel like a part of my soul died in puberty. The same things about loving my voice until it started getting deeper. The same feelings of loosing a part of myself with the emotional changes. I will never get that part of my soul back. I will never know what it meant to be a child. Only now that I have been on Hormone replacement therapy do I see hope of getting my girlhood back. I am 29. Imagine being forced to have to be a child in your 30s. Experiancing all the strange changes of becoming a woman, when people already expect you to have that experience. But no. The deep depression testosterone and being seen as a boy my entire life had me under. I just wanted to be seen. And now that i am seen in my late 20s I cannot describe how happy I feel, how much I wish I had done this sooner, how much I wish I had known what life could be for me. I am a woman, a proud to be beautiful woman, a transwomen. I am experiencing my true puberty late. But at least i get to finally experience that. There are permanent changes that testosterone has made that I cannot undo. And while I hate that these women had to go through the same things, I hate even more the lack of family support before starting that transition. I hate the improper education of what being trans actually means. I hate the general lack of understanding of LGBTQIA people from everyone in society. I wish parents would support their kids. Full stop, period, support your kids, let them know what puberty will be like, have deep conversations about their emotions surrounding that, make an environment where they feel safe to talk to you about the harder things in life. Trauma can definitely confuse your identity, your sense of self. Talk it out, go to people you trust to be non-judgemental and talk to them.
Never take a strangers unsolicited advice. You should be the ultimate guide of your destiny, you should be given your rights to life, liberty and pursuit of your happiness.
I want to say, I live in Tennessee. If it becomes illegal for my endocrinologist to continue my hormone prescription I will find it elsewhere. I don't want to have to have that experience of being a testosterone dominant woman again.
You went through natural puberty. It's not even remotely comparable to perfectly healthy young girls being given testosterone. What should have happened is they should have gotten help with their mental illness, not making changes to their bodies. Same goes for you, the problem is in your head and nobody is being treated for it. We're celebrating and indulging people's delusions. We don't do that with any other mental illness.
You seem to be searching for something you would have never had. You wouldn't have experienced, regardless of when you transitioned, a menstrual cycle , or those naturally occurring parts of growing from a little girl into a teen and then a woman. I'm not being unkind, but honest. Testosterone is natural to your body. These women were putting a hormone into their body that is not nature. That's why it's called cross sex hormones. As a woman myself, I can respect biological men presenting as women, but it's not the same . It's so important for your community to understand and accept that if you respect women, you will also respect that you're a trans woman, not a woman.
Lastly you wouldn't be a testosterone dominant woman, you would be a man who has a natural occurring hormone coursing through your body
@@beanj580 honestly? I have to disagree.
Thank you for your reply by the way it means a lot to have people actually respond as an equal.
First off I want to address something.
Women in this society are people who play the role of womenhood. And calling a woman with red hair, a red-haired woman doesn't make her less of a woman. Regardless of what hair color she was born with.
I would not say I was seeking something I would never have had. Nor did I even know what a menstrual cycle was before my first puberty.
My brain expected a certain course of development and got something else. Coming from somewhere deeply innate to my nature from as early as I had thoughts to process that people were different.
I am a woman. One with a different path of development, but a woman none-the-less.
My lack of a menstrual cycle is no different from other women who never get one. Ones with early menopause.
And the course of treatment is exactly the same.
When women in this society have imbalanced hormones they take HRT.
If the problem persists untreated for long enough, testosterone poisoning can result.
Leading to conditions that are permanent without surgery.
This often even results in changes in external genitalia.
My hormone imbalance started from birth.
Perhaps even in the womb.
Karyotypes tests are expensive, and therefore I have no idea what chromosomes I have. Nor does it matter when I am a healthy adult with a known condition that can be and is well treated under modern medical practices.
I have no doubt that I am a woman. Even if my body naturally had an untreated hormone imbalance.
To say that testosterone is natural to my body isn't entirely wrong. But a misleading statement.
Testosterone is natural to every humans body. But in women, testosterone dominance isn't natural.
And it has caused me many medical issues that have severely negatively impacted my health. Including unreasonable anger, depression, thoughts of suicide, infertility, abnormally high libido, masculinization of my bone structure including minor changes to my jaw, abnormal height, broad shoulders and pronounced chin.
I lost my feminine singing voice and I am struggling to train it back. Though I know it's possible, I cannot afford a vocal coach.
I have facial hair and minor hair loss. Though I think I caught it early enough to mostly prevent hair loss.
All of these things negatively impact my life. To reduce my condition to a mere "wish to have a period" is presumptuous and a little insulting. I have come to terms with not having a normal cycle. That's kinda what menopause means.
When I went to get Hormone therapy, that is what it was referred to as. Hormone therapy.
It reads on the package that I was prescribed for estrogen because of my low estrogen levels and a testosterone blocker for my high testosterone levels. This is exactly how they treat any women going through menopause, and is what it says the drugs are used for in the pamphlet I was given with the drugs. And notably they did not say that they are used for transitional therapy.
So please with due respect. I am not a "biological man presenting as a woman."
Because transwomen are not men, we were never men.
Transwomen are women.
Apologies if you disagree, but that is how every field of study on the subject has concluded.
That is the common practice in modern medicine and psychology.
There is endless research that has been done and continues to be done that supports this.
And I am not accusing you of any kind of ignorance. Nor is this next sentence directly at you.
I am so fucking tired of being used as a political punching bag, and a pawn to promote the elimination of rights for women on the basis of protecting the children because I look different.
Just because it's easy to target me because I am so visibly different, doesn't make me the issue in society. Those who throw the stones are the problem.
What baffles me the most though? Why the people who are the most anti-media, anti-government, are the ones arguing alongside popular media right now. Why are they standing with the most rich and powerful against me? As if my poor ass has any power over them whatsoever.
As if I could harm you, your life, or your family even if I wanted to.
I want this animosity between us to end.
It is being artificially stirred to distract from the fact that there is currently a congressional convention being voted on right now. They are trying to slip the entirety of the United States Constitution out from under us. And you are worried about me.
Please. I need you to know. I am a neighbor. I am ready and willing to share a cup of sugar if you need. I am willing to speak up when you are in trouble. I was raised in a deeply pious family and know the fruits of the spirit by heart: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I am here in support of traditional family values where kids get to have two loving parents who can support them. Where the community helps care for those without such support and where they can get a safe education to prepare them as best we can into the future.
God said that you would know his children by their fruits.
It is my prayer that you see the fruits of the spirit in me and can know that I am not your enemy here.
@@tentative_flora2690 I'm not from the USA, and couldn't be further from the right political positions over there. People are not on the side of the rich and powerful against you, people are against the rich and powerful getting more money while selling unsafe therapies to confused children and young adults, and using their power to change laws so they can push these cultist/religious beliefs onto secular societies.
Admiro a todas estas mujeres por su valentía de contar sus historias. ❤
You are all beautiful women. God knew what He was doing when He created you with a purpose. Thank you so much for speaking out. I'm sure you will help so many other girls and women. God bless you. Stay the course.
It's evil, slicing off a girls or woman's breasts; how can that make a woman or girl happy? PARENTS get your head out, do your job say "no" to your kids and protect them against this dangerous and life altering idiocy. Tell them when they are adults and support themselves they can do what they want. My mom used to say, my house my rules; your house you can do as you damn well please.
Planned Parenthood is destroying my sons life. He started HRT recently at 21. He has had the same girlfriend since 16. Graduated 2020 pandemic year. Kinda a lock down into adulthood. He moved in with his girlfriends family. His girlfriend is bisexuality and says she her pronouns are confusing. My son just came on father's day and told me he had started injections and meds for transitioning. We have a family history of cancer, heart issues, I had a blood clot at 29 almost kill me. He told them none of his family health history. He does not dress or act feminine. He doesn't like things like make up or doing hair. I was shocked when he told me. I was preparing myself to say he got his girlfriend pregnant. I told him i would always love him and support him but that I thought before taking medical life risking steps he should start slower to make sure this is what he wants. Like dress in female clothes, play with make up, try padded bras, and take it slower. He basically said I was from another time and just didn't get it. Also I have not been around my son since he moved out. His girlfriend will not let him come visit family without her or even give privacy for a conversation. I asked him would he still be happy with the decision to transition if he and his girlfriend were to ever break up. He just went defensive saying that will never happen we are together forever. He refused to look past this current relationship. He says he is not removing his penis that he has no gender disphoria with that part of himself. This left me more confused. I grew up going to alternative lifestyle clubs in the 90s. I have friends now and when I was young that are gay, drag queens, aunts who are lesbians. Due to saying my concerns about his health and how fast he has jumped into this he blocked me. Even though I pay for his phone.... He has no other relationship experience, never lived alone, and she has isolated him from friends and family. She has also cost him jobs with her clingness. Now they plan to be a lesbian couple. I am just a confused mom who wants her child to take such a lifelong choice slower. Planned parenthood told him the sooner he starts the better.
Is there any way of contacting these brave women to see if they are available for a speakers event in Dc Nov 3? #MotherIsFemale please if you can link me to them or know anyone who would like to join us out there !
Most of these women have declined speaking events as they are ready to move on with their lives.
Tumblr is the biggest hell hole on the internet and should be shut down.
Such a nice film! We need to stop this nonsense as a society. Please make a film for detrans men as well. They suffer too and have way less support these days.
They did it. Have you seen it? It's called The Lost Boys.
So we'll done. Thnx
Leave the children alone being a young person in this society is confusing give them time and love. They can decide when their mature and ready they may realize that they thought wrong or right but time will tell. Between 0-18 they are confused kids not sure about anything. So before they make an irreversible decision let them grow and mature. Stupid system.
May GOD bless and protect you in the mighty name of JESUS! May GOD and JESUS break every chain the enemy has formed against you and liberate you! May GOD and JESUS fill you with GODliness and love to get through any challenge! GOD IS GOOD! JESUS IS GOOD! GOD is love in times of hate, GOD is strength in times of weakness, GOD is light in times of darkness, GOD is harmony in times of chaos, and GOD is all you need and more! If you need more love/strength/anything GOD is there! GOD LOVES YOU JESUS LOVES YOU! GOD BLESS!
beautiful courageous women......
They are all beautiful woman!
I am in this situation with my 14 year old daughter who told us a few days ago that she's in the wrong body. We have never seen any evidence of her being unhappy with her body. She recently wanted to wear a bikini on our family vacation. She will not listen to anything we have to say. I will try and get her to watch this video, but once she has something in her head it is very hard for her to see any conflicting information. I told her "no" to anything that could harm her body, and that I would call her a shortened version of her name vs calling her my son. I'm afraid to take her to therapy due to gender affirming care. We, as her parents, need help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Praying for you and your daughter.
Any update? Going through the same thing!
We stuck to our boundaries (nothing that could harm her body). We told her we loved her regardless of her gender identity. We told her we would support her as an adult if she transitioned. She is back to her normal self now.@@chelseahammond2716
May God bless these young women for being so brave in giving their testimonies. I pray they can be very influential in helping other girls and women to NOT go through with what the culture is almost forcing them to do - it's all satanic lies.
It's sad how twisted things have become.
A deep confusion about what being male or female brought on by what once was feminism but now is more a denial of nature, combined with opportunistic pharmaceutical companies and doctors who don't want to be ostracized is what has led to this.
Beautiful girls
Please correct the sub-titles e.g. "TURFS" etc.
We are a very small team, but promise that correctly the subtitles and uploading other languages is on our to-do list! Thank you for your patience!
@@Cbc-networkOrgare you hiring?
🙏🙏🙏
That Helena is so pretty... Here's the thing about a lot of the trans people - they are so invested and all-in on this ideology that it wouldn't make sense to go back on it from where they are. Someone in marketing has realized that pride and denial are major money-makers. There's talk of the oppressed scale - anyone else notice most trans-ppl and detrans ppl are white? Who's really oppressed nowadays? Is this not a ticket out of that basic white person status? That oppression all stems from resentment and envy, btw - everyone else is jealous that we white ppl made everything everybody loves about their modern lives - we're the only group with a real actual REASON for pride, which is why we're warded away from it. Time to wake up, guys - this is our country. Swan Lake - good music, great voices.

It's important not to feed off trauma, better to feed on Jesus Christ The Wonderful Counsellor and Healer.
I think most of this phenomenon is a typical body dysmorphia many young people experience in puberty. Some are Transmaxxers
There are lots of boys to be saved too
Jenny our new film is for free here too on our RUclips channel! Find The Lost Boys: Searching for Manhood - it's all about the boys!
Yes the war on boys needs to end.
