In the report of "why degenerative teenagers regret changing gender", the New York Post stated that those who changed their minds after transgender and decided to change back to the original number of teenagers in the original gender are growing amazingly.

After changing gender, they regret it

"I have been disappointed. I really lost the organ," said Chloe Cole, who was 17 -year -old, who was 17 years old, said sadly.

When Cole was 12 years old, she determined that she was a cross -gender. At the age of 13, she came out to her parents. In the same year, she took adolescence blockers and was prescribed by the doctor. At the age of 15, she underwent double milk resection. Less than a year later, she realized that she had made a mistake -at that time she was only 16 years old.

"I can't keep quiet," Cole said. "I need to do something for this and share my warning story."

According to the New York Post, in recent years, the number of children in the West has experienced gender anxiety. Although it is difficult to get exact figures, between 2009 and 2019, among the children receiving transsexual treatment in Britain, biology men increased by 1000%, and biology women increased by 4400%.

At the same time, a report released by the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles in June shows that the number of young people (13-24 years old), who has been identified as transgender since 2017, has almost doubled The report is based on the health survey of American Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2017-2020. At the same time, the report estimates that 1.4%(about 300,000) among young people aged 13-17 determined that they are transgencers, and among adults aged 18 and over, this proportion is only 0.5%( About 1.3 million people).

In addition to the surge in the number of adolescents of self -determination, the number of women who are transgender are also increasing. According to the New York Post, although from history, the transgender from men to women is more common, this situation has recently reversed, and women's transformations to men account for the vast majority.

Dr. Lisa Littman, a former behavior of Brown University in the United States, created the term "Gender Anxiety of Fast Send" to describe this part of the cross -gender population, usually refers to the sudden change in adolescence or adolescence. Girl with anxiety. Litman believes that this may be because adolescent girls are easily affected by their peers in social media.

The 23 -year -old Helena Kerschner's experience confirmed Litman's view. Cutana is from Ohio, USA, and is a transsexual person. When Kesuna was born, she was a woman. At the age of 14, she felt gender anxiety for the first time. She said that the social network platform Tumblr was full of the content of cross -gender activities, prompting her to transform her gender.

"I have experienced a very isolated period in school, so I turned to the Internet," Kesuna recalled. In real life, she and her friends turned around; however, on the Internet, she found a community that welcomed her. "My anxiety must be triggered by this online community. Before Tumblr, I never considered my own gender, nor did I feel like being a girl."

In addition to being anxious, Kesuna also felt the political pressure of transgender. "This community pays great attention to social justice. People have a lot of negative views on gender (gender identity as biological gender at birth), heterosexual and white girls, and I think these negative information was targeted at me at that time."

In addition to Kesuna, Cole also had similar experiences when he joined Instagram at the age of 11. "I started to contact a lot of content and some radicals about LGBT," Corne said. "I saw the overwhelming support on the Internet, and they received a lot of praise. This really moved to me because there were not many friends at that time."

Degeneration is getting lower and aging and in a hurry

According to the New York Post, experts are worried that many young people seeking degeneration have deteriorated without appropriate psychological health assessment.

Dr. Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist who specializes in gender, sexual orientation and identity, is a transgender woman who has helped hundreds of young people through the transition period over the past 30 years. Although Anderson supports degeneration, she is now worried that some young people accept medical degeneration without appropriate restrictions or supervision.

Anderson believes that the increase in the "Detransitationrs" like Cole reflects that some young people are "moving forward too fast" on gender issues. She is also worried that some doctors may default to the definition of medical degeneration is a remedy for young people's mental health. "When other important issues of children (before the transsexual) are not fully resolved, medical professionals are disappointing their children." Litman also conducted an online survey on the degenerative person last year. 40%of people also showed that 40%of people It is believed that their gender anxiety is caused by psychological health, and 62%believe that medical staff conducts investigations to understand whether psychological trauma is a factor that causes them to make degeneration decisions.

"My anxiety, depression, and physical image problems are intertwined together," Kesuna recalled. "I have the conclusion that I was born in the wrong body. If I became transgender, all the problems in my life will be resolved."

Cole also has similar experiences. "Because my figure does not meet the aesthetic standards, I started to doubt whether I had something wrong. I think I am not beautiful enough and not suitable for being a girl, so I am still a boy. Beautiful, but I have been suppressing this. "

Cole agreed to Anderson's point of view, and she also believed that more psychological assessment was needed to determine whether psychological health issues could affect the desire of transsexuality. "Psychotherapy needs more attention," Cole said. "We can let these children no longer hate their bodies, but we immediately invest in irreversible medical treatment."

According to the New York Post, in fact, degeneration is becoming increasingly aging and hurried. According to the World Professional Association for Transngender Health, adolescent blockers are usually used when children are 9 years old and their bodies develop their first signs of development. In addition, although the Endocrine Society (Endocrine Society) recommends that the age of testosterone and estrogen is 16 years old, teenagers who usually want to degenerate are injected at the age of 13 or 14. For severe surgery like breast resection, sometimes it is also implemented in children at the age of 13.

Although the medical intervention of the minor needs to get the consent of the parents, many parents will affirm the suggestions of medical professionals and agree to perform surgery and hormone therapy for their children. Some parents even worry that their children may be self -harm if they refuse to treat.

"It is difficult for parents to know how to evaluate their children. They rely on experts to tell them to a large extent," said Jane Wheler. Welller was a medical lawyer of the US regulatory department. "It is obvious that there are many concerns about whether teenagers or minors can fully understand the true meaning of medicalization (degeneration)."

According to the New York Post, medical professionals in the United States usually follow the "Affirmative-Care Model" supported by the American Psychological Association, and they only need to confirm the gender identity expressed by patients, regardless of their age. Therefore, there are "dependent gender transformers" often reported that the prescription prescription medicine is easy.

Taking Cole as an example, she quickly completed the entire transformation process from the blocking agent to breast removal in just two years when she received her parents' consent. She said that the only resistance she met came from the first endocrinologist she saw. When she was 13 years old, the doctor agreed to give her adolescent blocker, but did not agree with testosterone. After that, Cole said that she went to see another doctor, and the doctor prescribed her prescription medicine without any obstacles.

"Because all therapists and experts follow the mode of equal rights, there is not much control during the entire degeneration process," Cole recalled. "Professionals seem to be promoting medical degeneration, so I thought this was the only way to make me happy."

Those who regret degeneration will fight in the rest of their lives with irreversible medical consequences

The New York Post stated that a variety of studies have shown that as many as 80%of anxiety children may eventually stop anxiety gender issues, or accept their physiological gender without resorting to degeneration. Therefore, many professionals believe that it is wise to postpone medical intervention as long as possible.

On the other hand, all transsexual medicines have the risk of side effects. Critics believe that these side effects are too serious, and children cannot fully understand. In the short term, adolescent blockers will hinder growth and affect bone density, and long -term impacts are still unknown because adolescent blockers were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993. The side effects of testosterone include high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, thrombosis, and even infertility.

But at present, there are only 3 states in the United States -Arkansas, Arizona, and Texas -have introduced policies to restrict gender identification treatment for minors, including surgery, hormones and language treatment. For those who eventually regret their transsexuals, the consequences of hormone therapy and transsexual surgery may be devastating.

Like Kesuna, testosterone caused her emotional instability, and eventually she was hospitalized twice due to self -disabled. During the hospitalization, she realized that her degeneration was a mistake. "I looked at a set of my photos. I saw a lot of changes in my face. I looked very unhappy. I realized that all this was messed up. I shouldn't do it. It was a very dark period. "Cole also said that testosterone changed her skeletal structure, permanently turned her jaw contour to sharp, and the shoulders widen. She said she was still annoying the increase in her body and facial hair. Her breasts also had a big scar, which was left by her breast cutting. "I sometimes can't bear to look at myself. That will make me disgusting."

The most worrying thing is Cole's fertility. Although Cole hopes to have children one day, she does not know if her egg survival ability will be damaged for many years of injection testosterone. Cole is looking for answers with the doctor, but her medical prospects are not clear. Cole said: "I still know nothing about my overall health."

The New York Post stated that the topic of "de -gender conversion" is often criticized by the group of cross -gender activity groups. They claim that stories like Corr and Kosana will be used to slander the entire transgender movement. Studies have shown that up to 86%of transgender adults believe that degeneration is the correct long -term decision for them.

However, the New York Post pointed out that as more and more adolescents have made a major transsexual medical decision with permanent influence, the number of "gender transformers" will definitely increase, like Cole is the continuous growth " One of the groups of gender converters. Moreover, it is sad that many people will fight against their minors in their lives, because this decision brings irreversible medical consequences.

It is reported that this is why professionals such as Anderson feel that it is necessary to speak for these "gender transformers". She and her colleagues are worried that discussions on gender conversion will become "cannon fodder of cultural war". And those who will always live in the consequences of the rustic degeneration also refuse to silence, "I hope my voice will be heard," Cole said. "I don't want history to repeat it. I can't let this happen to other children."
