A young man who previously identified as a trans woman after being castrated by doctors has warned others not to follow in his footsteps.
The young man, known only as Kobe, has revealed that he bitterly regrets his decision to transition and was told by older trans people to “play the suicide card” to get treatment.
He started puberty blockers when he was 13, had his testicles removed when he was 19 – and now suffers from severe back pain that he fears could be osteoporosis, with puberty blockers linked to bone injury.
Speak against Fox newshas described how, despite his thoughts of being trans, he now realizes he was an “effeminate” gay boy who enjoyed playing with Barbies but was uncomfortable with his sexuality.
Kobe also told the outlet that if he hadn’t been “indoctrinated” with the gender ideology, he probably would have stayed that way.
He said, ‘I was always an effeminate boy, I was very feminine growing up. I liked Barbies, I liked pink.”
At age 11, Kobe, pictured here, said he told his parents he was transgender, which was quickly dismissed.

Kobe continued, “If I had never been indoctrinated, I think I would have just remained an effeminate boy. I saw it as a way out of my homosexuality.
At age 11, he said he told his parents he was transgender, which was quickly rejected.
It wasn’t until a few years later, at age 13, that Kobe came out as transgender again, saying he had used “suicide tactics” to transition.
He said, “I started using the suicidal tactic, transition or death. It’s such an unhealthy mindset.
“The older trans people teach us to say things like that to get health care and stuff.”
From there he was put on puberty blockers and then estrogen at age 16 before later undergoing castration surgery at age 19.
Despite all this, Kobe said it didn’t help his mental health and wasted time.
Kobe continued, “I was like ‘Oh, wow, this is so amazing.’ I’m stuck in my transition, but then everything started to crack and I couldn’t ignore the complications.
“I couldn’t get over the fact that I kind of mutilated myself with the permission of a psychiatrist. It’s insane now, looking back. It’s just self-harm, you know.’
He now suffers from permanent growth retardation from the puberty blockers and also suffers from chronic pain in his spine and needs to be checked for osteoporosis.
In addition to Fox News, Kobe had also appeared on the podcast of Benjamin Boyce to talk about his decision.

Kobe also developed an eating disorder from taking the hormonal drugs that caused problems with his metabolism.
Despite being off the hormone drugs for months, Fox reported that Kobe even had to quit numerous times during their interview after they compromised his cognition.
In an endorsement letter authorizing him to undergo hormone replacement therapy, it labeled Kobe as happy and mentally stable.
Despite this, he told the outlet, “None of it was true. I was mentally unstable. I hated myself. I wanted to die, and I was constantly trying to become something that wasn’t.’
His surgery was subsequently canceled and he instead opted to have his testes removed as a ‘middle ground’, believing testosterone to be ‘poison’.
Kobe was accepted by the family and “passed” as a girl, but after all the interventions, he was still unhappy.

Now that he is taking testosterone, which he will have to do for the rest of his life, he feels ‘alive again’
Without gonads, Kobe will have to take artificial testosterone for the rest of his life, which he recently started.
On taking testosterone, he said, “I feel alive again. I feel confident. I just feel great. And it just proves that sex hormones are bad.’
As for his future plans, he said, “It’s just reconnecting with things I used to enjoy before I got sucked into this.”
‘Because when I lived as a trans I had no hobbies or interests, I actually had nothing. It just became this caricature of a woman and everything based on it.
“I’m trying to regain my manhood now and everything. It is difficult. I have breasts, I have a woman’s hip development because I started taking estrogen young.
“I have no gonads. You know, it’s hard. My skull has never really been masculinized.’
When asked what he wants people to know about him, Kobe said, “I see myself as very strong for what I’ve been through. I am quite a compassionate person.
“I care about kids suffering from gender dysphoria and stuff. And I think they deserve help. But I don’t think that helps.’
