NOTABLE TESTIMONIALS

I Spent 13 Years Living as a Man. But After My Spouse’s Exposé, I’m Detransitioning

But looking back, I realize the thing that threatened me the most about Jamie going public was something I didn’t want to face. This was the knowledge that my spouse and a growing chorus of knowledgeable critics were right. They were right that there was something fundamentally amiss with the message, especially to young people, that a swift gender transition was a safe, all-purpose solution to profound problems.

Why ‘Gender Dysphoria’ is a lie

On X, Dr P – a qualified clinical psychologist with 30 years’ experience – posted a particularly enlightening article: Why ‘Gender Dysphoria’ is a lie. She convincingly shows how we have once again entered a Psychic Pandemic, which is harming untold numbers of lives. Furthermore, there is no clinical method that can diagnose gender dysphoria.

The Psychic Toll of Living a Lie

What price do we pay for living a lie? Here I’m not referring to a woman pretending to be a man – demanding that everyone affirm her new gender identity and lying to herself, telling herself that they all believe her, telling herself she is a man now. No, I’m talking about the lies required to live with someone who believes these falsehoods. There are so many lies every day – lies of omission, lies of commission, lies to her, to yourself, to others. It is exhausting.

“Do as I say, not as I do”

A brilliant piece, in which every word matters. It shows deep empathy, without fear of putting the finger on the wound. Michelle is clear, real transsexuals do not exist and gender dysphoria is not a legitimate condition. It is not enough to just protect minors, but everyone must be protected against a so-called ‘care’ that dissociates people from their bodies and denies reality. Any restraint is not appropriate here, because as she writes: sometimes the truth is not “nuanced”. The curse of being a “moderate” is that you end up alienating both sides of the debate.

How we created a self-hating generation

We should stop telling children that they’re the “experts on their own lives” and repudiate a static model of selfhood as a fait accompli at birth. Sure, some inborn essence is particular to every person, but it’s a spark; it’s not a fire. We could stand to return to the language of forming character and making a life for yourself, while urging teachers to exercise the guidance they’ve been encouraged to forsake.

Gay Not Queer

Finally, I am not queer because, ultimately, its identity erases my gay male sexuality. Gay identities are based on biological sex; gender identities erase biological sex and replace it with gender. Gender identities erase homosexuality. Conversion therapy tried to erase me years ago; I am not queer because if I said I was, I would erase myself.

What Conversion Therapy Means To Me

This is the Conversion Therapy that the pro-trans movement wants to ban. Behind the specter of electroshock and forced conversions is this truth—that therapy that addresses the root causes of a person’s feelings of being in the wrong body often causes those feelings to fade away.

Light Persists – How My Mum’s Love Saved My Life and Led Me

Transition wasn’t appropriate for me – is it for anyone?

For years I believed that rejection from girls and affirmation from boys was proof that my sex dysphoria was a “legit” feeling. I’ve never actually considered if it could be the cause of it. I was extremely distressed because of my puberty, I cried at night and prayed to be turned into a “normal boy”.

No, trans is not ‘the new gay’

It’s often assumed that being trans is somehow very similar to being gay. But the truth is a little more complex – and we’d like to show you how.

Transition your body, Destroy your mind

How “gender affirming” surgery affects women’s brains: What no one is telling these females is that negating their sex means negating their health, longevity, mental acuity, and possibly their independence at a young age. The people who are affirming today exploit these women and girls for profit and blatant self-interest. Is it supposed to be a mercy that young onset dementia will leave these women unable to rage at their loss?

It’s Not Gender Dysphoria

You’re not going to solve the problems that caused someone to identify as someone they cannot become by feeding them hormones, and telling them to change their pronouns. Or doing surgery, the only thing you’re going to do is create more harm, more destruction and more abuse.

A childhood is not reversible

A clinical psychologist, with over 15 years of experience working with adults, children and families, explains the dramatic consequences of social transition in children. This is no fiction, in the first nine months of 2021 90 children between the ages of 4 and 11 registered at the gender clinic of UZ Ghent. It illustrates – something that is far too little realized – that making transgenderism socially acceptable is not innocent.

We’re Lesbians on the Autism Spectrum – Stop Telling Us to Become Men

An open and enlightening testimony about autism and homosexuality. Everyone should read this story so that the gender dysphoria debate is not just limited to ROGD, but also to those who were gender-nonconforming in childhood.

The Hormone Health Crisis – Endocrinologist William Malone, MD

Our DNA is gender dependent, XX and XY cells are different and respond differently to hormones, in terms of which genes are switched on and off. It should not be surprising then, that wrong things happen when cross-sex hormones are taken. Puberty inhibitors and cross-sex hormones are used in a state of deep scientific ignorance. By applying unscientific principles, tragedy results. Eventually, the people who were harmed will stand up and testify to what happened to them, and this will force awareness and change worldwide.

This testimony was written by Laura Becker, a woman who stopped the transition, looking back at her pre-transition self. We thank Laura for her permission to publish this inspiring work. It was originally published on Genspect.
