  • Ritchie Herron is a detransitioner, a man who at one point in his life identified as a transgender woman. Therapists, surgeons, and the trans community all lied to him that being a woman was a realistic and positive goal. After receiving vaginoplasty, or penile inversion, he experienced crushing regret. He was not warned about the terrible aftereffects of the surgery, such as total numbness, and phantom limb sensations. He is now taking legal action against the NHS.

    Mutilation at its best! When I started Testosterone ( I’m born female) to change my appearance to male it was such a fast process. I spent 20 to 30 mins with a psychologist , after that I was written a script for Testosterone. This whole gender affirming care happens so fast for us. We can get it all done for free here In NYC. The doctors don’t care at all and we are all science experiments for these surgeons.
    I don’t regret my transition , I’m living as male but I know I would never be a bio male . I had top surgery and I can not feel my chest or nipples lol it’s been 8 years. You can’t speak about this without being called transphobic . Thank you for bringing this topic to light . We need more people to talk about this . Many people with bottom surgery are unhappy but portray online that they are happy and everything is functional.

    When I was in my early 20’s and the world was still sane I had one child and did not want any more kids, so I asked several (9)gynecologist to remove my fallopian tubes, every one of them refused, regardless of how much money I was willing to pay, they all said “NO, you are too young and you might wanna have more children in the future “. How did we get from doctors who cared about patients to butchers that only care about money? I’m happy to say that I’m glad those doctors cared and today I have 3 more children.

      Because trans people have been born deformed as intersex, this has been well established within the scientfic field. They are LITERALLY born in the wrong sex, no it is not a myth, we have suspected this for decades, but since 2017 we know this for a fact because of the way how gender identity is developed in utero during the 2nd trimster. Trans people are regarded as intersex themselves when it comes to their unique anatomy, they dont think they're the opposite sex, they are on a very fundamental leve which destroys the illusion of the systemic definitions of biological sex, purely man-made, not nature made, so much so that people believe someone's gametes should define your biological sex, when from the perspective of nature herself gametes are part of the sexual characteristics like any other, which people constantly change through gender affirming care the moment they go exercising or styling their hair in a more masculine or feminine way. Sexual preference and gender identity are not "chromosomal", they are based on hormone exposure in utero and in early development. There is a tremendous amount of research on this. You can make a genetically male rat behave like a fenale and vice versa based on hormone exposure. This is why those of us in neuroscience have real issues with "gender is a social construct" and gender fluidity. Gender roles are a social construct, but sexual preference and sexual identity are not. They are biological. This is how gays and trans act based on the same development, gender identity starts during 2nd trimester, whereas sexual orientation during the 3rd trimester. That's why denying someone their own chemical attraction towards the body of someone else is equal to denying someone's chemical attraction of gender identity towards their own body. Sexual preference and identity is not binary, but its defintely not "fluid" for any individual. It would be better to describe it as a spectrum. Sexual identity and preference are complicated, they are not binary outcomes, but they are also not cultural constructs. They are more akin to a bimodal distribution with very long tails. Culture can act as a filter, that tries to restrict us to one of the two peaks. For a long time the science has been used the same way as religion to oppress and greatly confuse people by defining for others what is a man and woman, it has managed to cause much repression and confusion for those who deviated from such an artificially created norm for centuries.
      The entire hormonal and surgical treatment we need to regard as a holistic care that tackles the entire body, just like a diet or yoga. When we are sick, we don’t change the mind, we change the body that affects the mind. Trans healthcare is amongst the first that avoids the monstrosities of the past where people were pushed into lobotomy, electrical shocks, psychotherapy and sent into mental institutions, anything just to change the brain so people could fit into their norm and social constructions of the gender, now the approach is to change the body form instead, yet that is the threat to the system that exploits the body in order to oppress the mind that seeks authentic self expression, calling it an ideology is a way how to make it seem like they can force the change in the mind again. The truth is people spend so much energy and effort clinging to physicality to argue their bias. It's ultimately not about physicality. It's an issue on a higher level of psychological and spiritual. The body is just a vessel of the karmic world for us to use and manipulate to reflect us, not a material object such as a body to manipulate us to reflect it. The entire life is about correcting our karmic imprints on the matter of our being. We use
      gametes to sex the bodies to uphold a sexual contrast/polarity, however in case of trans bodies, it would take using less binary markers of the body to support the sexual contrast in their sexual relations, this si the entire paradox.
      It is a child abuse to push children into the wrong puberty and actually should be considered as a sex crime, and many of us out there are working to establish it that way, in fact it is almost equal to being raped! There will always be mistakes and regret in a medical treatment, however people weaponize this by using people’s fears. In India there is about 4 million of trans people, in the US slightly over 1 million, so it is a guess there could be around 30 million on this planet, there's very few detransitioners in comparison to the majority once you start asking gender therapists about their clients. Some kids need to go on hormones before puberty, some don't, gender dysphoria is genetic, it tends to cause stress on the nerves conected to the heart and bowels, and sometimes causing psycho-somatic symptoms on the body because of the never-ending stress caused by the wrong hormones flooding into the brain. These children should not wait because of someone's fear that they might change the mind in the future. That is insanity, who does that to other things that happened in childhood, because as children we go through numerous life altering irreversible things that can never be taken back. Once we grow up it is our job to learn to live with what life has given to us, pure and simple, just like with any condition we are born with.

      Surgeons can ONLY EVER DESTROY sensation. It's physically impossible (despite what advocates of """gender affirming care""" may claim) for surgeons to send you away, with sensation that you didn't walk into the hospital with.
      This inevitable loss of sensation may be an acceptable price to pay, for a surgery that's physically neccessary...
      ...but by definition, (so-called) "gender affirming care" is NEVER physically neccessary; it's ALWAYS purely cosmetic, with the sole aim of making the patient conform to opposite-sex norms.
      And even worse, when this "gender affirming care" is done on the genitals, this totally physically unnecessary surgery is being done on the area with some of the MOST FINE, DELICATE (so easiest to destroy/hardest to maintain) nerves and blood vessels in the body; It's the area where surgery is going to do THE MOST (totally needless) damage to sensation.
      Not to downplay the loss of sensation in the stomach. But the much finer, more dense nerves in the genitals, means that genital surgery will inevitably result in MUCH more severe loss of sensation.

    My son had a squashed disc, it is a very painful condition and lasts a year usually before the intense pain lessens. It causes inability to walk, pain when sitting, sleepless nights, etc, and total distraction of the mind, being unable to concentrate on one’s job, just focused on the pain all the time, day after day, week after week, month after month. Pain medications don’t work, don’t minimise the pain, but often cause bad side effects. My son had a Bupa health plan so he went to see the consultant with the view to have the disc removed and that would end the severe pain because it was difficult to accept at least a year of severe pain if the operation was not done. The surgeon told my son, he would do the operation if my son insisted but he didn’t advise it. The surgeon said “ you’re just a young man, and if you get this operation you will walk like a man of 50 , so don’t get it, endure the pain for the year and let it heal naturally.” The surgeon said that many surgeons would do the operation without warning of the consequences because they do get well paid for doing the surgery so he said “ if you seek a second opinion, don’t be surprised to hear a positive message different to what l have told you.” My son decided not to go ahead with the operation and was grateful that the surgeon had warned him by telling the truth.

Some transitioners do well, consider any complications, to have been worth it; IMO we should be glad for them. Successful transition depends on many psychological and physical factors (some which can't be known in advance), so simplistic 'pro' and 'con' positions don't make sense. What's needed is that actual individuals are fully informed.

The doctor is affirming and confident that you can achieve a great outcome if you will follow all the steps and directions, submit to the extreme surgery and endure all that’s involved in recovery. Then all the dreams of finally being who you believe you should be blow up like a bomb. Now who are you? This is horrendous and the doctors performing these surgeries should be held accountable.

    What sickens me to my core is that they (teachers, political backed doctors, politicians) press this transition onto pre or mid pubescent children. That is a violation of every right that child has to growing up with as few cares and responsibilities as possible so that they can focus as much of their youthful energy and sponge-like brain into their education and social-education (yes, hanging out with friends is education as life experiences are inherently educational). To press this onto a child at that age strips all of that away. It is the worst form of child abuse I can imagine. And parents are getting thrown in prison for resisting it. This was a very well done interview. Sasha knew exactly when to just listen, and had the perfect mix of empathy sympathy and curiosity in how she executed her questions and remarks to this person. This is definitely a video that needs to be shared around to open up people's eyes. I am very much for personal freedoms and individual choice in life. I support LGBTQAA+ very much as a group. But these realities are things deliberately hidden by the main stream media as well as both the Woke Elite and working-class Social Justice Keyboard Warriors alike. People deserve to be able to see perspectives of all sides of things.

    If this doesn't tell you, like Ritchie said, that this is the body being traumatised, I don't know what will. Your body is not supposed to be anything but what it IS, male or female.
    The medical profession has been so unethical pursuing these Frankensteinesque, experimental projects that literally destroys the human form and the natural equilibrium of 'human nature' and what is meant to be.
    It's truly shocking.

      Why would they not do something for which they get paid a lot? Apparently the big explosion in surgeries started when OBAMACARE said the surgeries had to be covered. Then other insurances did the same. I am not a psychologist but it seems clear that a lot of these are gay men who seem to get positive feedback for being trans so they go with that rather than being called gay.

No amount of surgery can turn you from one sex to another and he is living proof of that. I feel as though the surgeons are literally just interested in the money and are happy mutilating people irrevocably because it doesn't affect them personally. Wanting to change your sex is a mental illness and this delusion should never be fed by the medical professionals, that is so morally bankrupt and should go against everything that medical professionals should stand for. Parents who are pushing their children on to this road to mutilation and lifelong misery and depression, should be thrown in jail after having their children removed from them...this is abuse, pure and simple and more people need to speak out against it.

There’s no right way for women to disagree with men. The issue isn’t the way we disagree, but that we’re aren’t willing to lie down and do what these men demand. Something to consider💜

There us no feeling" (a lot of post ops were ashamed at that time to be neutered/eunuchs, so they lied...because no men wanted to be with them, only gays wanting to have anal sex. No promises were kept.)
      Especially cruel if done before puberty--out if fear of beards or embarrassment over breasts coming, so they have zero reaction during any kind if sex, unless they have watched a movie and try to fake the theatrics.
      And they also don't tell you it us no better than drag, so stuff your bra, wear dresses and make up or destroy your body...you still don't feel like a real man or woman. They say 70% have thus disappointment.
      Ad to think, it is all to change what 99% if people will never seem Tour pain and loss for nothing.
      There should be many documentaries and graphic movies and testimonies before they are allowed to do it to an old adult.

    Great interview with Richie! He’s so intelligent and insightful, cuts right through the bullshit being pushed onto the general public. We are all very thankful for his voice. Wishing him the best for his legal case.
