She says her brain thinks differently at 22 than she did at 18. That reminds me that at 14 I felt as mature as I was ever going to get. Then at 16 I realized how immature I was at 14. Then again at 18 how immature I was at 16 and so on.
Exactly so stop giving kids power over their parents with hormones to alternate their body. Yea my nephew played with barbie's and brat dolls as a kid, we all put it together he was different and he grew up to be a gay man and his brother is in the military. And Guess what he's a proud gay man that this all of this is redundant.
BTW I agree with you 💯
@@ericgraham454 nowadays it seems instead of letting kids just play and explore, parents and society jump to conclusions and push that narrative. My nephew played with dolls along with all the other toys and grew up to be a great dad. If a preteen and young teen girl absolutely loves her best friend society now makes her think she’s lesbian and that’s wrong.
@@ericgraham454 I mean playing with dolls doesn't mean your either gay or trans. Assuming so is making the same mistake as assuming a kids trans.
I'm 75 and feel that at 70 I was a little dense and unenlightened.
Verrrrrry few females actually feel SAFE and comfortable and protected in our society while we are "blooming" in our teen years...many, myself included, do something to 'morph' and conceal our raw vulnerable femininity. For safety. Dressing strange/hiding body/looking 'ugly' or boyish can often give COVER to ourselves at this most precious time in our lives. Thanks for this great interview
This is a very valid point to consider, glad you shared this perspective. Thank you.
Everything I’ve seen her on, she is so well-spoken and clear-sighted and mature? How is she only 22? Fantastic guest.
You can be LGBT and Christian 👨❤️👨
Nope
Helena's story is so much like our daughter's story. We are in the thick of it, we are going on 4 years. Jamie (Jay) just turned 20 and is not speaking to us. We have felt all along that she is not trans. But are lost at what to do at this point, besides pray. This is such a scary time for these young women, I hope and pray Jamie's story has an ending like Helena's!
I’ll keep you in my prayers. May god bring her back to the right path
You can be LGBT and Christian 👨❤️👨
I understand you; this situation has brought me and my beloved daughter apart; I fear she might make irresversabke mistake because I don’t think she is trans; she still loves girly things and likes boys; yes says she is a “ gay boy” this is causing so much pain to society
Hang in there mom, love her and hopefully she comes to her senses.
@@dansaber4427 yes you can 🎉
how did I miss this? Major respect to Preston for taking this on and to Helena for sharing her story.
COVID forced young people online. Loneliness abounds and fuels isolation. Such a brave girl. Parents just love your kids and help them stay healthy mentally and physically. What does your kid need is such good advice.
That's funny because I would argue you need to touch grass.
Young people addicted to their phones has been a huge issuer way before covid.
@@Fawksi I mean, you took the time out of your day to comment that so wouldn't that statement go for you too?
@@M_Sakura i typed it on the grass. This video clearly shows he doesn't leave the house
@@Fawksi how do you type on grass? It doesn't even have a keyboard.
Loved her view of not trying to have your kid think differently. Find out the root of the emotional issue and what they need to be at peace with themselves without constantly throwing facts at them. It’s about developing the relationship! Great video
17:53 Thank you for this. I think the least you can do as parents of toddlers is not let them be exposed to the mind wrecking crap on Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok.
The universally shared problems and challenges of life remain the same no matter one’s gender ….. don’t think people realize this …..
Maybe some people think they can escape through changing their gender identity, but many people genuinely do experience gender dysphoria throughout their entire lives. This woman’s experience is just one experience, as they pointed out in this video.
@@aGrapeInUtero “Gender” is a cultural/social construct ….. and can vary greatly ……. I doubt most people would feel inclined to switch genders , while simultaneously making an abrupt cultural change where the construct/expectations are radically different from there native culture …. let’s say a fundamentalist Muslim culture or an Amazon native bush people
@@richardcrocker8048 I use to feel the same, but a friend pointed out:
Doing things to defy people makes since tho. Especially, coming from abuse. Sometimes defiance IS the last freedom.
Ie. Remember when gays weren't allowed to marry? I don't believe in marriage but I would strike against the first person who said I couldn't!
Why? Because my entire childhood people told me I was going to hell, that I was WrOnG.
Think about that.
Arguing to children about right and wrong without tangible, touchable evidence.
Ducks with a kids head.
So case in point: we WILL open that door, we WILL be acknowledged. THEN we can let it go.
(It isn't about escape, it's about basic human rights, and how some people weren't given those).
( Yes people will face obsticals, you face obsticals every day you get out of bed)
Some people, yeah. Other trans people know that very well and are very happy with their transition.
i just don't get why people complain about other people's gender so much. like??? you have your own problems to worry about, and so does that other person. stop making things harder for both of you by harassing them.
Reminds me of what they say to family members dealing with cults - don't argue, just be there, be steady, be loving, be ready for them if they change their mind.
Why is this an ad
Grifters gotta grift
Because it’s a paid promotion so more people can see it. Probably because RUclips’s owner picks and chooses what she likes and dislikes on the page.
@@TheUsmc0802 That’s a lie. Stuff like this is demonetized and censored. If you post anything like this on TickTock you are penalized. What isn’t censored is the opposite propaganda.
Rich dudes with agendas
@@wockyslush666 dude, you really think she sits there and picks and chooses what vids to put on the front page?
I'm living in a world I don't understand.
Then you're on the right track with admitting it. A ton of people fool themselves everyday into thinking they understand, simply because they don't question things in the first place.
Delusion, is the consistent state of human beings.
@@Francisco-Danconia then what are your delusions if humans are at that consistent state
@@fcu6691 That's a very fair question.
It gets to the point where it's less unconscious delusion, and more of a willful sleep state that you wake up out of from time to time. I mean, it's the dreamstate, there's not much point in being awake if you want to have fun.
But, that's probably just my delusion talking
It can only be understood when you study the Bible. All the the prophecies are coming to past as it was prophecies. Satan is the author of confusion so unless God reveals Himselt to you (which He doesn't to everyone) AND you accept the call He has on your life, only then will you become unto the knowledge of truth...
Wow Helena looks beautiful and glowing. That blouse looks great on her. I love how she articulated herself here. I wish I had this kind of authority about myself but I am not good at public speaking.
Welcome to presenting as a woman! (Looks glowing, beautiful and the blouse looks great.) The pressure of being beautiful before all else can be crippling. Maybe the grass looks greener for the opposite sex when the enormity of adulthood starts to dawn on them. Fear of the unknown, yet the inevitable, can make you do “crazy” things to avoid it. If you don’t fit the mold, being “special”can be a shield.
@@sum1has2 Any way you look at it, attractive people have it so much easier - either if they transition or don’t and they can “pass” and look beautiful no matter what. If you don’t fit in either category, and/or you’re unattractive, it’s an enormous burden to bear. I feel like looking GOOD doesn’t get talked about enough in these discussions - aka “pretty privilege” (maybe not an ideal term but there you go)
@@colasfalon6470 "very often, both trans and gay individuals (especially among females) tend to have been RELATIVELY unattractive/competitive as their biological sex" - I think gender non-conformity is a huge part of this. Not being able to "fit" the gender norms for your sex, and getting rejected by the group you're sexually attracted to as a result - is crushing.
I don't know if it's a conscious calculation for a lot of these young people transitioning, to improve their "perceived sexual market value" - as in many cases what they are doing is totally counter-productive, in the case of "straight" people transitioning to the opposite sex presentation in particular. E.g., a straight girl like Helena, transitioning to become a boy - will not end well because who is this "trans man" who is attracted to straight men going to end up attracting? You're dooming yourself to a very lonely life indeed.
The only group I see who would massively benefit are young gay males, transitioning early, and passing as female. These young gay males are attracted to straight men. They aren't attracted even to other gay males. So, transition in their case makes complete sense to me. They tend to be hyper-feminine, hyper-gender non-conforming, someone like Blaire White for example.
You are a great speaker. I bet you would do just as well as she did.
1:10 “There’s a lot of critics of this book, some of whom have read the book” lol that went over most ppl’s heads in the audience
@Mikayla W that’s exactly how to say what he was conveying, actually.
@Mikayla W No it doesn’t, it’s the correct way to say it. In fact I can’t think how else you’d say it?
As if just making it thru your teens wasn't hard enough ?
As someone who does identity as trans this does happen! Although not for me, but I do think it is a shame that this is so controversial. We need to talk about this!!
18:40 “focus on strengthening the relationship as opposed to the goal of making them think differently (have different opinions).” 💯
So good.
It makes me a tad bit mad that im getting ads for something me and a close friend talked about privatly
Loved the advice given toward the end of the interview ... relationship is the # 1 priority.
She is an absolutely beautiful young woman. She is smart, articulate, and despite going through everything she went through she was able to pull through it. She definitely has the type of intelligence I look for when I look for a woman.... 🤷🏼♂️
Beautiful testament 🙏
I’m living this as a parent. Blindsided by my child.
Pray for you and your child. God bkess you.
Why is no one discussing the hormone disruptors in our environment? Might there be a connection between hormone disruptors and the psycho-social upheavel occurring in our society today?
Yes you're right, it's most likely a large contributor to what's been happening to so many but I think the largest pressure comes from the psychological professions. They push this issue quite hard to their patients but are very cautious to keep it almost secret! Why?
That’s a damn great point !
Dr Curtis Duncan wrote a book about that
Omg
That is an interesting question.
Must explore that.
Everything is socially contagious when you are 13-17.
I did not feel safe as a teenage girl. It is terrifying when creepy men stare at your body, and when you are not gaining all the extra strength that your brothers are gaining through puberty. I would have signed up for the extra strength, no question! I started my lifelong habit of doing push-ups and other weightlifting exercises as a teenager, I competed in strength sports, and I would have been so happy if I could have gained even more strength. But I am glad I didn’t ruin my fertility. My sons are great.
I wish that we were not such a sexually dimorphic species - if we were more similar in size and strength, fewer women would be raped and beaten by men. But our sexual dimorphic bodies are just a fact.
She seems to be smart, she's very articulate in all her interviews actually. And she's beautiful.
This is such a great discussion! Thank you!
Have a daughter (17) going through this. I personally don't agree with the lifestyle, and also don't think she is actually trans. This video describes her to a T from the age range, to the social media, and so on. Very encouraging to watch this. I do the best I can navigating it all and supporting my child who I love dearly, it definitely gets hard sometimes.
Thank you for your work.
It's a shame that a few too many people in the comments think the video is about promoting transitioning when it's not, because they didn't watch it.
Right, it started out seeming much different than what it ends as. I think it’s irresponsible to limit the conversation to what it is here and that it will lead to a lot of transphobia. I think what they’re saying deserves thought and that there is a gigantic range of experiences. I don’t doubt her experience. I personally think the real problem is the binary world we live in.
This whole video is a shame. Really missed a lot of opportunities here.
@@aGrapeInUtero this.
@@aGrapeInUtero I agree that the video is regrettably quite short, but I don't agree that it will lead to transphobia because of its brevity; transphobia exists. However being trans is more acceptable than ever before in history, and perhaps detrimentally so, as shown in Helena's case.
I don't agree that "binary" in and of itself is an issue. I think it's the unhealthy way in which youth are trying to discover themselves and cope with their hurts. In the US it's compounded by the lack of accessibility to health care, especially psychological, and combined with the way social media is and ease of access to all kinds of information without the ability to vet or understand said information, large numbers of young people are going to end up in harmful situations unfortunately.
@@kalinkapavlova9398 exactly my sentiments.
Abigail Shrier’s Book has been so helpful and informative in really exposing the truth behind what is happening to this generation of young people who are struggling with this sin.
You've become like the religious people in the story. I find no fault with the LGBT whatsoever. Your turn.
Just to Clarify - This isn’t a Religious Topic/issue & shouldn’t be Viewed as such. It’s a Very Complex Medical & Socio-political Cultural issue, irrespective of Any religious beliefs Or Not.

6:07 “we are not to love thy data as yourself. We are to love thy neighbor as thyself.” So good.
I'm 72yo and can hardly believe what I'm hearing. What navel gazing creatures we've become. Both sexes have male and female hormones coursing thru our bodies. In puberty these are ramped up in erratic spurts until maturity is attained (which comes a bit later for males than females.) If this confusion really exists then it may explain why we once upon a time had rules of no premarital sex until marriage when hopefully endocrine issues settle down. Meanwhile you dress and act your part in the interim. And yes, there is social contagion which we used to call peer pressure.
Same here. 16 and wants hormones. Going on 2 yrs. First the long hair came off. Then change of wardrobe. Next the name. Now severe depression, self harm. I don't know what to do.
Good interview
A good documentary is "What is a women?" where culturally we are giving children to make life decisions at 10 years of age!
Wow, this was really good to hear!
W we we were we
WOW!!!! surprised you are allowed to share this . I think under 18 for anything that is allowed you have to be so careful over. Like she said your brain functions at different levels as you grow. If we looked back on the things we did as kids andthought we knew better Yikes!!!!!
Allowed to share this?
Facts!
@@16tangerines I’m guessing she said that ‘cause the activists could possibly complain/boycott/dox/denigrate RUclips for allowing truth to be shared.
So good
Around 12 minutes and talking about brain development... our brains develop bottom to top, back to front - something drilled into us in studying the brains of adolescents. Our prefrontal cortex is responsible for reasoning, critical thinking, to include determining long term consequences (this is why teens have that invincibility complex). That same prefrontal cortex is not finished developing until we are done growing. For females, this is around 21-22, for males it’s around 24-25. All that to say, everything she’s sharing about not really understanding is backed by brain science!!
Excellent facts...now why do doctors and health officials NOT take this into account when attempting to transition these kids
@@shilohboss8682 Well, I knew what I was doing at 17 when thoughts about medically transitioning first popped in my head. I was more mature than most people of my age.
@@shilohboss8682 coz its all about dollar signs apparently.
If your lifestyle causes you to seek approval maybe it’s the wrong one
so well spoken and so wise for 22!
She sounds like a regular 22 year old. I think you should give more credit to young people.
she's incredibly brave and interesting. the scary part is the number of people brainwashed by gender ideology who will choose to ignore her perspective. but I also think that gradually the tide has got to turn.
Give a decade. a lot of doctors will start to get sued for “misdiagnosing”.
Great conversation🔥
I'd be really interested to see this talk again, but with an afab person with no familial support in transitioning, who researched the medical risks, and still fought tooth and nail to transition to male both physically (hormones and/or surgery) and legally (name change, birth certificate gender change) and lived as a practically cisgender man in the world for several years. Who THEN goes through with the decision to detranstion and be a ciswoman living with the many irreversible both medical & masculinizing effects of Testosterone. Like, think about JUST the social aspect of that person's detransition experience. I have a feeling it would be a very different (and much longer) discussion.
also I agree with "talk to your child, listen to them and help them instead of trying to convince them they're wrong" that's the most important piece of mental health advice for parents, even outside of gender discussions.
What if your kid is wrong and wants to do a massive destructive surgery and/or drugs that will cripple their natural growth and development?
Listening is great but a parent needs to say no alot over the years, and just like parents ban websites, media, clothes and friends from a childs life the same is true with medical procedures.
@@magustrigger9195 Talking to the child and figuring out what's going on can prevent negative outcomes of any kind. Such as suicide, runaways, self-destructive behavior, or rushing to transition when it isn't the right option such as the young woman in the video did. Whatever the child's issue is, that can be figured out by hearing them out, bringing them to therapy if they want it, getting down to the root of the problem. Listening to their needs and helping them get the proper treatment, whatever that turns out to be. If it does turn out they're transgender then the child and parent can do research and talk to a doctor and therapist and figure out as a team what the plan should be.
Most surgeons won't even give gender reassignment surgeries to people under 16 even with parental consent, you have to wait until 18. And danger is present in any surgery requiring the patient to be put under, whether that's a masectomy or an appendectomy. As far as replacement hormones, cisgender men and women take synthetic testosterone and estrogen for hormonal problems, and that same medication is what is given to transgender men and women who want to take hormones. Endocrinologists are very knowledgeable in hormone therapy and transgender people aren't the only patients who use it. The risks are very well known now, none of this is brand new. All it takes is a google search and hundreds of studies will show up at your fingertips. Most places require at least a year of therapy before giving someone the go-ahead on starting hormones (to make sure the individual actually wants to do it), and doctors who prescribe ANY medication at all SHOULD be making their patients fully aware of the risks anyway. Children who think they want to take hormones some day but are too young can take something called a hormone blocker if their parent allows it, which is low risk and is entirely reversible. Then when they're older they can switch to replacement hormones, should that be the right option for them.
Parents can also help their gender-questioning children by offering entirely nonmedical support, such as letting them present the way they want to with clothes, hair, and a different name, until the child is old enough to choose to medically transition on their own. That kind of support alone makes a huge difference to a child's confidence and self-worth, and strengthens the trust they have with the parent. It also drastically reduces the risk of self-harm and suicide in transgender youth. Children are human too, with their own desires and ambitions and feelings that shouldn't be ignored. A parent's role is to guide and protect, not to control with an iron grip. There are few ways to destroy a child's sense of self-worth faster than not listening to their emotions, and telling them everything they're feeling is wrong and that you're always right. Their broken autonomy and self-doubt will follow them into adulthood.
@@turntupmongoose Im sorry but i read the first paragragh and it had once sentence of viable discussion, you wrote a small novel, to likely say "nope im right " condense your thoughts and remove your anecdotal evidence.
@@magustrigger9195 it's not my problem if you decide something is not worth your time. my "novel" was explaining the dangerous procedures you mentioned, about parents making decisions in their child's best interest, and the importance of that process.
@@magustrigger9195 lol, if they are 18 they are legally adults and parents have no power.

Using your own brain and thinking for yourself is highly controversial. 😉
Excellent video 👍
Braindead video
@@jonahr3463 Jonah, nobody cares if you enjoyed it or not lol
There should just be a law that only allows adults over a certain age to transition as kids and teens should not be able to make that decision yet. An adult is an adult and can do whatever they chose and live with the decision but the youth should not as they are so easily influenced and Misinterpreting things. Idk why you would even allow your child to transition when they haven’t even developed their brain fully let alone know anything about sex, gender, etc.
It’s a political thing now , like race and religion have become politicized as well. Identity politics is gonna end up destroying America
Well, now in California, kids can seek and receive hormones and even surgery WITHOUT having the parents involved, at all. Thank Newsom for that.
Hormone blockers can be a convenient pause button.
Could it be the time it takes to attend and address psychological challenges faced during periods in a life
At least someone called it what it is.
Transitioning today, is the equivalent of emo/goth back in the 90s
Exactly what I was thinking!
You should look into the rates of dishonesty in teens who experience emotional distress and cognitive dissonance. Abigail shrier only asked the parents who said it came out of nowhere, not the teens who were lying about who they were.
Is it a lie if you believe something untrue about yourself in the moment?

Js
I blame affirmative action
If you’re a trans that went from a boy to girl but after transitioning you date guys are you still considered straight or are you gay because you were born a man and like the same sex?
This question would never have occurred to me when I was growing up at any age. This question shows how mixed up confused and troubled today’s kids are. And ,YES, you are a kid until 25!
In case someone stumbled upon this in the future: the rules are applied to the gender the person transitioned to. So a trans girl (formerly a boy) would be straight if she likes boys, and lesbian if she likes girls, the same as a cis girl.
She is so beautiful a beautiful woman
Best paid for add ever 👍 glad I watched it.
Que idea my foot!??? NO way.
I thought that it was strange why so many high-school and college students were coming out as trans. None of this happened before social media. It was obviously the cool thing to do and made kids feel special. I hate what social media has done to our kids. Judging their success on how many likes they get. I would strongly recommend that if you have a teenager you strictly monitor what sites they are visiting...
If your life revolves around sexual preference or gender labels, you obviously have other issues going on.
isn’t that the obvious? we need to dig deeper to fix this problem. it’s going to get out of hand before we get a grip on it.
@@summera4019 You'd think it would be obvious, but doctors can't even attempt to "dig deeper" without being labeled a bigoted homophobe and fired. Political propaganda now takes precedent over science in our health care system apparently.
Malibu
Wait, so was she a boy first? Genuinely confused
Born female, decided to become male, but went back to female
No she’s female, but identified as trans-male, and now she’s happily a woman.
I feel like Ben Shapiro made some similar points, even if it was delivered in a harsher tone.
“Is it real?” Yeah guys lets debate if my condition is real. Lmao
Lmao poor you
is it though?
@@summera4019 shut up, thats like saying are you real. outlandish and heathan-like. Nobody debates your rights and debates if you exist so stop doing it to me
@@7GSC251 No one is debating your right to exist, we're saying your *subjective* "truth" isn't congruent with the *objective* truth. You cannot have a society constructed around subjective truths; people have to agree on what is true to as many observers as possible in order to make sense of the world around us. The only way to do that is acknowledge objective truths. I'm sorry if this pains you to read but it must be said.
@@7GSC251 Nobody is debating your rights or whether you exist.
You have the same rights as the rest of us. You exist. The point is that “gender dysphoria” is a disorder about which very little is known, and yet a narrative has been allowed to ferment on social media that anyone whose interests or mannerisms or behaviours are at slight variance with their sex must be trans, and that this must be affirmed at every corner, including the language we use and ultimately the amputation of healthy body parts and lifelong artificial hormones. Not only does trans theory enforce a rigid gender binary (girls/women must be feminine) that confuses sex and gender, it also creates a myth: “gender identity”. It dismisses the real sex differences between men and women, and creates a false equivalence between women/femininity and men/masculinity.
Being an unfeminine woman does not make you less of a woman. Being a feminine man does not make you a woman. Man and woman are biological states of being, not identities.
GD is an exceedingly rare condition. Many of these kids are just experiencing normal puberty. Puberty is tough. I cried for like 3 days when I had my first period. I thought if this is what it means to be a woman, I don’t want to be a woman. But you mature and learn to be at peace with your body. Your brain doesn’t fully develop until your mid 20s, and there is no way that a child or teenager can give informed consent to these procedures.
Sorry for the unfocused comment but I find this issue very distressing. Kids are having their lives ruined by ideologues and unethical doctors and the implications affect us all.
Learn to love your body. It’s all you’ve got.
We don't let kids make decisions like this for a reason.
Imagine what horrible tattoos you'd have if you were allowed to do it as a kid...
I see adults get awful tattoos. Some people are just a danger to themselves
It's all social contagion.
She's so beautiful so that traight female can even fall in love with her
I think the most bizarre thing is that it almost seems as if someone wants to transition all the males into females and all the females into males. And as Scott Newgent says, its all about dollar signs. Someone's making loads on money on these kids and adults who are transitioning. You have to pay for all these hormones, procedures, and meds, right? I mean being gay is one thing, but transitioning is a totally separate thing. As Scott Newgent explained, you can be gay and it's possible that no one will make money off your gayness. But, if you transition, you can be sure someone is driving a Lamborghini thanks to your 'kind donations'...
would you give your 14yo the keys to your car, your bank account and no supervision over what they so with them? Why would you let them make permanent changes to their body before thier brains are even fully developed.
She fails to tell everyone her mother who's a Dr illegally gave her hormone medication at 15! The girl lives in complete trash! And has zero responsibility!
Especially teens, they get confused at home because of the teachings they have. Men are men and women or women
She sounds like a vulnerable kid who was groomed.
Was this originally a girl or boy?
A boy
She’s female.
Born a female and tried to be a man, she’s now back to the gender she was born into which is female. She mentioned she was taking testosterone hormones when she was 18 and toook it for 18 months and then she stopped and went back to the gender she was born into ❤️
Gender
Lol
definitely exists and has gotten strong from 2015. i was a victim of the ideology around this time, thankfully i never went on hormones or anything like that but mentally it destroyed me. i self harmed, i starved myself, i would 'bind' my chest with bandages. im now 19, looking back it was all just issues i had with my body changing along with all the trans propaganda being pumped out online from the mid-2010s and onwards. i'm now totally ok with being a woman because thats what i am because that is how i was born. i couldnt ever imagine being a man and idk how i did when i was 13.
now people are ostracised for having this type of view and honestly im scared for future generations, especially girls, women and fathers of girls. we no longer have spaces to feel safe, the most private spaces we once had are being stolen.

Why did Helena change her story again to fit the current right wing outrage?
Her story is one of a small percentage of trans people. Everyone is valid! Everyone has gender, and that gender had nothing to do with how you were born. By the logic of people who don't believe in transgenders/non-binary people, intersex (people with ambiguous genitalia or chromosomes) people should not have gender. But it isn't true. Most intersex people have gender, no matter where it is on the spectrum.
A big part of growing up is gender. Gender is fluid, and people can think they're trans and then find out they're actually just insecure. Or they could think they're trans and it's true forever!
Don't push gender on kids. No permanent changes should be made before 18 (puberty blockers aren't permanent), but they should have the ability to have their pronouns respected at the time.
Everyone has gender? Where? Where is it? Can you prove that?
@@hitoshura2800 are u implying ur genderless then
@@xflair i don't believe in gender the way the transcult uses it
@@hitoshura2800 everyone has a sexual orientation that's as unique as your god-given fingerprints. No two are the same. One of the letters is for you. You're included no exceptions no excuses.
First world problem.
This world can only be understood when you study the Bible. All the the prophecies are coming to past as it was prophecies. Satan is the author of confusion so unless God reveals Himselt to you (which He doesn't to everyone) AND you accept the call He has on your life, only then will you become unto the knowledge of truth...

Why did you fall for it?
Yeah. Transphobia is a cult.

I thought gender identity had nothing to do with sexual orientation.
