Isaac uncooked has an excellent breakdown/ response video to this.

Noah is trying to to hold onto the “safest” means of remaining prepubescent or adolescent in their development. I’m not sure if it’s a direct result of the early sexualization young women face so early on or part fetish.

I feel like society still pushes an anti female or sexualized female mindset in many areas and this why for many GNC women, they feel this is the safest choice. It’s sad, there’s so little research on this type of situation Noah is in. I hope that the medical pitfalls aren’t too harsh for them later in life.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the trans sphere the fetish works both ways. Many times partners virtue signal by piggy backing on the supposed sexuality and identity of their partners.

He prefers the female body, but has a problem with dating women. Whether this is rooted in the fact that he no longer feels “special” (identifying as gay without being gay) or a deeply rooted misogyny are both possible.

Unfortunately, you no longer fit his kink or fetish. I would take a long look at your relationship and determine whether or not being with this person is actually good for your journey.

I think that as a male, it’s difficult for you to see how AGPs, sexual violence and a continuous social need to recategorize the female experience as anything other than female continues to harm women.

I have nothing against terfs, I can understand the struggle.

Exulensic had a series on exposing these complications.

In a sad way, it’s fascinating how we’ve come full circle from convincing cultures to give up male genital mutilation (like in the form of eunuchs for a variety of reasons) to considering it “safe” for feminine boys. We spent so long trying to prevent this happening to young boys and know you can find much of general society promoting it.

My heart goes out to young men suffering. Your body is beautiful the way it is. You’re allowed to be feminine and express yourself as you like.

Oh it 100% is, but there’s merit to a lot of it.

Many women or young girls are taught they cannot be gender non conforming. They’re taught they’re made for marriage and kids. They’re taught they’re made for men. That only boys can be with girls.

There’s a LOT that goes into young women transitioning, of course, however a piece of its core deals with thinking whatever makes them up is not female (for whatever reason).

It’s not conscious, but it’s there. There’s a constant in belittling the female experience in all forms.

I don’t think it’s everyone’s experience but I’ve seen this trend among younger women (especially those who grew up in western gender ideals). So, I saw the meme and thought it a good share.

I wonder if they realize that they’re actually trying to confirm the notion of biological determinism and innate gender roles that people spent decades dismantling.

They think transition is the only treatment of dysphoria and it really isn’t, but apparently cancer is a better option.

Saying children have “informed consent” as a minor will bring up even more issues in the legal system.

However, I am happy for this. Social transition, therapy and allowing themselves to grow is best for very young people. I don’t this was truly for reasons of child safety though (like I would hope)

The only way this will make a real difference is if we see funding for mental health in our young people.

Word usage is key here. This is also voluntary. We also have to consider most detransitioners don’t see their doctors after because they’re often judged.

ETA: if that’s the most extensive and longest study then that just show how unreliable trans care is.

But you were never male.

Those moments you felt strong- you were still you. You had this body, you had those feelings.

Do you feel trapped in gender roles due to society or/and religion? That could possibly be why you’re feeling this way. You don’t have to be a certain way as a female, yes females have more difficulty in some things but it’s unfortunately life.

No one is saying you can’t be masculine and present in masculine things. Don’t let the rules and rigid of cultures dominate you if you fit elsewhere.

Your mother is right in some things-

-bodily dysphoria is fairly common for pubescent young females. This is because (generally) as a children we’re not sexualized and during puberty- the heavy discomfort toward sexuality that is IMMEDIATELY thrust upon females is fairly overlooked.

You have to immediately be comfortable with being sexualized and now there’s going to be people attempting to take advantage of that.

Sexual assault can absolutely add to this bodily discomfort and cause you to want to seek safety away from the body that you feel discomfort in.

For me, I still have gender and body dysmorphia but I grew up in a unique situation and can work through it in other ways.

I do think you should wait on testosterone and perhaps give yourself time to adjust to adulthood.

There’s a LOT of health repercussions to testosterone (I was on a low dose) and I don’t think many young peoples realize that they’ll also have major personality changes by going through menopause due to these decisions if they continue
