A trans man says denying transgender medical procedures to minors is akin to mass murder, but admits he was “too young” for his own double mastectomy.
The comments came from Reece, a trans man, interviewed by Dr. Phil during an episode that focused on transgender people who underwent medical intervention at a young age.
Reece said starting his transition journey at the age of 11 was “overwhelming and scary” but in hindsight he was “grateful” and said allowing minors to explore this is vital to their mental health.
He said denying medical intervention to children who are ready to explore their “true gender” is more “traumatizing” and “transgender genocide.”
A trans man, named Reece, has said that denying transgender medical procedures to minors is akin to mass murder, but admits he was “too young” for his own double mastectomy.
The comments came from Reece, a trans man, interviewed by Dr. Phil during an episode that focused on transgender people who underwent medical intervention at a young age.
“Being able to start my transition at 11 years old was so overwhelming and scary, but exciting, and I’m grateful,” he said.
“Let’s say a trans person came out at 8 and had to wait until 18 to start hormone replacement therapy and couldn’t even get puberty blockers, so their body now has to go through puberty for complete”.
“That now makes the transition 10 times more difficult (sic) and traumatic.”
Legal regulations to prevent these procedures from being performed on minors are “horrendous” in the eyes of Reece, who called it “life-saving medical care.”
“It’s extremely important that trans youth are able to transition at puberty, I think without that all these kids who know who they are deep down inside would never have the chance to live their childhood as their truth.” And I think that’s just horrendous,” she said.
“I think it’s just a transgender genocide. If she hadn’t been able to transition at the age she was, she wouldn’t have made it to 18. I don’t think the government should deny trans health care. It is health care that saves lives.’
Reece, however, contradicts himself by saying that he wishes he had waited instead of having his double mastectomy at the age of 15 when he was eligible.
I didn’t want to wait. I was eligible at 15′, she said.
I went looking for it at 15 years old and I was too young to do it myself at that age.
“Someone who has a bigger chest who is also that age would definitely need it if they felt so, and I think they should be able to get it.”
After Reece reemphasized the importance of transgender medical procedures and how denying them is a death sentence, another guest, Ryan, who lamented his temporary transition, asked about the societal pressures that “drive transgender ideology.”
‘What do you think of this that is going around in society, where many people are being written off for questioning the overstatement?’ she said.
‘For example, if I had a friend who identified as transgender, I would want to ask. I would say, ‘Why do you think you are transgender?’ And not because I don’t think they should transition or because I hate trans people.
“I just want to make sure that they are making the right decision for them. Because hormones and surgeries are very, very permanent.
Ryan added that he believes there is also great pressure on medical professionals, who are often labeled “transphobic” if they deny trans care.
“I feel like a lot of doctors are also put in a corner, because if they deny trans care to someone because they don’t believe they’re trans or transgender, they may be labeled transphobic,” she said. .

“I have no idea what kind of consequences that could have on his medical career.”
“I feel like a lot of people get pushed into a corner and just give it to everyone out of fear of what might happen to their career if they don’t.”
As transgender politics has become more common in the past decade, some young people have regretted their procedures and questioned why society allows minors to make such important decisions for themselves.
In an exclusive to DailyMail.com, one of those people recounted her time at a de-transition seminar she attended, saying she often felt isolated from the trans and transition community.
In a post on her Substack blog, Michelle Zacchigna, 34, who uses the pseudonym Michelle Alleva, said she spends a lot of time in transitional spaces.
In late November 2022, Michelle said she attended a symposium on detransition research held at York University in Toronto and was “disappointed” by the way they “downplayed” experiences of regret.
She criticized health professionals who provide diagnostic claims and claim that teaching that “gender identity is innate, people who identify as transgender are born that way, and that transition can save their lives” is having an effect. contrasting in many
Tennessee became the latest state to completely ban gender-affirming health care for transgender youth after Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill Thursday banning surgeries and hormone treatments.
Transitional Canadian woman Michelle said she feels ostracized by others like her and feels “nauseous” as the community continues to push for medical intervention on behalf of transgender people.
Michelle detailed her troubled time in school, which fueled her feelings of anxiety and depression.
They joined a wave of conservative states to pass or consider laws restricting gender-affirming health care.
Mississippi’s bill banning surgeries, hormone therapies and puberty blockers for minors was signed into law Tuesday.
As of last June, more than a dozen states were implementing or considering such laws, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Similar bans are making their way through legislatures or have recently been passed in Utah, South Dakota and Iowa.
