I’m happy for you and sad for all the kids who have gone through the “care” that trans activists are pushing. We are doing what we can to keep our 18year old away from this insanity but he is sooo convinced it will be the answer to all his problems.
Hallelujah you made it through, body and mind intact, the right of every child. The podcast is no more than a continued celebration of these atrocities masquerading as examination. A pox on the Times.
𝘈𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 is exactly the right word. Dr Mengele was reincarnated as John Mooney, and the spirit lives on in the quacks now infesting the "helping professions".

I knew they were glossing things over with FGs story, but didn’t know enough about it to know how. When FG said they “couldn’t pee” and they just kind of laughed and moved on, I knew there was some serious omission of complications from GAC they weren’t going to explore at all.
Your story, and of many others like you, is so important to tell. Thank you for writing it so beautifully. Going through puberty isn’t necessarily easy, but we can easily say it’s necessary.
Genderism is a sexist, homophobic pseudo-religion that believes in a sexed soul in the wrong body. Or, as even some genderists realise how daft that sounds - they speak of a body that doesn’t “align” with the “gender”. In “trans” people the “gender” and body don’t “match”.
So they coach and then medicate children, and cut up young people, in an attempt to justify the claim that all humans have a “gender”. A disembodied something that is “like sex” but not the body - except, the body should be fixed if these don’t “match”.
I’d rather we were all being forced to take up Scientology!
ChatGPT says that FG's height ended up just below the 2nd percentile for men. In other words, 98% of Dutch men are taller. Maybe that's the result of blocking natural hormones until 18 (or maybe not).
Thank you for this analysis. Such a shame that so many friends and family members that people like you and I have been attempting to educate about the harms being done to children and the politics involved, might listen to this podcast and think that we are either out of our minds, conspiracy, theorist, wrong or overreacting.
Thank you for sharing your story and your insights. It raises so many questions in my mind concerning how we prepare our children for adolescence and the thoughts and questions they may be having regarding their looks, types of attractions to others, how they fit into society and the concepts of stereotypes. Thank you.
And a lot of “transing” these kids has nothing to do with the poor kids but to affirm a nonsense ideology for grown, fetishisistic cross dressing men.

So much truth.
Thank goodness you were spared all of it, including things like FG's ER visit because she couldn't pee, a likely side effect of testosterone.
Keep carrying on!
Excellent well-written article, an insightful take on the NYT podcast.
Your story is so POWERFUL and IMPORTANT.
Thank you.

It would have to have an effect being on it til 18. Everyone deserves to go through puberty.

What a beautiful essay. I agree - I had the same reaction to that interview. It was heartbreaking. Thank you for your insight and discernment.
Beautiful. I have restacked.
