Pastor John, I previously heard you say that you keep on hearing other people say, what a horrible time to raise your kids with the world in which we live.

00:08

I'm angry. What's going to happen to the kids and the youth? And there's so many like there's so many people who regret this.

00:17

There's more and more and more coming out and younger, too. And puberty blockers that been on puberty blockers.

00:24

And, you know, when we get 30, 40 year olds that are going to be like, did I do when

00:29

I was 16 or whatever, like, and you can't go back. I'm sad for myself, of course, not in a victim kind of way, but in like I need to this process of mourning who

00:41

I was is touching go. So but I'm sad for humanity and the children and what's going to happen when they're screwed up.

00:50

We're going to see what's going to happen. And I really, really hope that all these professionals get their friggin karma, because I know that some of them don't realize and some of them might be brainwashed and whatever, but some of them know exactly what they're doing.

01:05

And I think we're at a time when Christians are going to be persecuted. So you don't need to pretend to be somebody so you can get persecuted.

01:11

I think there's a reality check going on in our country. And I think it's now we're becoming like most of the rest of the world and most of human history.

01:18

Christianity is an alien group of people and the world is hostile to it. And that's where many nations have always been.

01:24

The last few years of my life, and I realized it's been a complete hell. My life has just went down the hill ever since I had so -called bottom surgery trying to be a woman.

01:35

And I regret it. I regret it 100%. I regret too that I ever thought I was trans, that I ever thought

01:41

I could be a woman, you know, and I wish I could go back and not have any surgeries or medical transition or take any hormones, to be honest.

01:51

This transition has costed me so much of my health, both mental and physical, as well as certain relationships in my family.

01:59

Right now, I have osteoporosis, scoliosis. I have a lump in my breast. I have one inch vagina.

02:05

And yeah, so it's like I have no sex drive. I'm trying to do the transition. I'm taking testosterone injection at this point, but I can't grow any facial hair, like nothing is happening.

02:16

I mean, obviously, I still like wearing makeup and stuff, but makeup and hair does not make a woman. So I've been so delusional for all these years, and I just wish my family and friends weren't so supportive of my transition, you know, and I wish they sat me down and talked to me and said like, are you sure it's what you want to do?

02:36

Maybe you'll grow out of this. I have so much to say, and all the things that I say are not going to be like perceived well by trans community, but I don't care.

02:46

I'm leaving trans community. At this point, I identify as one binary person. Any pronoun is fine.

02:52

If you see me as a man, that's fine. You can call me he. If you see me as a woman, you shouldn't.

02:57

I'm not a woman. I thought I was one, but I'm not. Unfortunately, the trans community has become very toxic.

03:04

I just think I've gone too far. Nobody, my opinion doesn't count because I'm the one with complications.

03:10

That's why transition didn't make me happy. And like, I honestly think I'm just as unhappy as I was before transition.

03:16

And what I really needed is therapy and help. I don't think we should look at this and say, well, you know, and we're going to have a very difficult time.

03:23

We were basically made for this time. This is our time, right? Yeah. And I was telling you about my little great grandson, little one -year -old

03:28

John Owen, running around the church for the first tour of the church with his 14 -month -old legs.

03:34

And somebody said, oh, it's so sad what world he's going to live in. What is up? Okay, my name is Matty, and I sound like a dude, but I'm not.

03:40

See, so I transitioned for a few years, and I've been off hormones slash detransitioning for a couple years.

03:46

Here's the deal. When I went to transition, I had to go to counseling to get a letter of referral to a doctor.

03:52

The doctor wouldn't see me without that. But I only had to go to like two sessions before this counselor was like, yeah, you have gender dysphoria.

03:57

Let's, you need to be treated by a doctor. Let's get you this note. She wrote me the letter of recommendation. I took it to a doctor, and this doctor prescribed me testosterone on the first visit.

04:06

Now, I'm not crying and blaming them for my decisions, because I was a legal adult when

04:11

I made these decisions. I knew that my voice would be permanently altered. I knew that I would permanently grow facial hair, which

04:17

I still do. You can't really see it right now, because I pluck my face. Literally, these tweezers are in my car all the time, because on my breaks,

04:24

I pluck my face. Anyways, I was a legal adult when I made these decisions. But now, my issue with this is that they're allowing these things to happen to children.

04:32

Children who can't drive. Children who are not old enough to buy alcohol, because their brains aren't, like, they're not mature enough to do that. Kids who aren't mature enough to apparently buy nicotine, according to the law.

04:40

They can't buy nicotine. They can't tattoo without parental consent, because that's a permanent thing on your butt.

04:45

Why are we allowing this to happen to children? I would have been so much further along in my transition before, like, if I would have started that young.

04:51

And I'm detransitioning. So that would not have worked out the way that I thought it would work out whenever I was that age. And I said, this is where God brought him.

04:58

This is his time. And we come to the kingdom like Esther for such a time as this. So there are going to be challenges.

05:03

I agree. But it's going to be harder to be a fraud and a hypocrite, especially with the internet. If you're trying to hide something, pretty hard to hide nowadays.

05:10

Even phonies in religion are exposed almost on a weekly basis. Well, consent has to be documented, but it also has to be informed.

05:19

And informed means you have to understand what you're consenting to. The problem with me starting it so young was not only that I couldn't consent,

05:25

I couldn't really fathom the full, just the full picture of things. I've also experienced,

05:33

I'm still experiencing a wide range of complications to this day. You know, from the surgery, you know,

05:43

I'll never be able to breastfeed. I'll never have that erogenous sensation in my chest back. I'll never have my breasts back.

05:53

And on top of that, I do hate to speak about it, but I'm experiencing sexual dysfunction at the age of 18.

06:11

That's something that women usually go through when they're pregnant. When they're in their 40s to 50s.

06:19

Right, right. How was

06:28

I supposed to know? So you're in this, this sounds really like hell.

06:34

You're already a confused teenager. You now are hyper -sexualized, hyper -filled with rage.

06:43

And this goes on for, this goes on for how long before you decide, hey, maybe

06:48

I'm not actually a boy? Um, so that went on for a few months and I talk about in my piece about how

06:57

I actually needed to be hospitalized twice due to this. And sometime after, and just as a side note, not once in either of my hospitalizations or any of my mental health treatment that I was receiving because of these extreme symptoms was the testosterone ever mentioned.

07:15

That was never brought up. Like I would write down, you know, I'm a biological female F and I'm on a hundred milligrams a week of testosterone, but none of these psychiatrists and none of these nurses and none of these doctors ever mentioned that testosterone as possibly a reason for my experience.

07:34

Well, I learned my lesson, but my breasts are never coming back. And it's like, it's a much more profound loss than I have ever, like, it's, it's a worst mistake that I've ever made in my life ever before.

07:49

I felt, I absolutely felt like my life was ruined. This person says, I am so bitter. The trans community says that if you detransition and regret what you did to yourself, you have no one to blame but you.

07:57

But I was 10, I was 10 years old. I was obese and I already looked more like a boy than a girl. I despised myself. The internet told me that this was a way out.

08:04

They gave me tips on hiding from my parents who wanted nothing for me, but not to make a huge mistake. I am 17 now. My breasts are completely stunted.

08:11

I have a severe eating disorder and I've never had a boyfriend. I ruined myself at 10 years old and the community that once encouraged me now turns their back and ridicules me.

08:18

I am so bitter. This is a time for truth. This is a time for strength. This is a time to proclaim the gospel.

08:24

In middle school, I was heavy into the online LGBT community. I got the idea that I was trans for some reason, even though I didn't have any dysphoria.

08:31

I came out as trans two weeks before my 13th birthday and immediately my family got me a gender therapist and took me to see a doctor to get on hormone blockers.

08:37

I just told them what I knew a trans person would say, even though I knew what I was saying wasn't how I actually felt. Six months after I came out,

08:43

I got an appointment with an endocrinologist who told me that I was too old for hormone blockers, but I could start testosterone. I wasn't sure if I wanted testosterone, but I went along with it because I felt like I was obligated to.

08:52

At 15 years old, I got top surgery. I was never actually confident that I wanted it. I didn't even like binding and I avoided it if I could.

08:57

Looking back, I don't think I really had dysphoria regarding my chest, but I still had top surgery because I could and I knew that it was the next reasonable step that a trans man would take.

09:06

So I took it. I didn't feel pressured from my family. My main reasoning was that I didn't want to have to bind all the time. I was living as a man at school and it was embarrassing for me to go to school as a boy and still have boobs because what would other people think?

09:16

So I got top surgery. Any bottom dysphoria I ever feel is most likely linked to being sexually assaulted as a young teen because it is not that I feel like I want a penis.

09:23

It is that I feel like I just don't want private parts. I really haven't felt like myself since I was 13 or 14 years old.

09:29

I keep trying to figure myself out and find myself, but I think I left myself behind all those years ago. I wish my parents had made me wait.

09:34

I wish I had just waited. I wish I had spent the time to actually figure out what I was feeling and what I should have done about it.

09:39

I miss my breasts and what little I had because I started testosterone so early that they never actually developed.

09:44

I hate how my hair is thinned and how I'm now bald. The facial hair I have is nice for facial hair, but I hate having it.

09:50

I hate what my body looks like now and what I've done to it. When I look in the mirror, I don't see myself. I haven't for a very long time.

09:55

It's too late to go back now. My family would never understand and they would never accept it. I know my partner would accept it and support me, but I feel like there is no point to even trying.

10:01

My hair, my voice, my body, it is all changed for good and any effort to be feminine just makes me feel like a creep. It is just a reminder that I'll never be the pretty woman

10:07

I should be. It makes me feel so ugly and hurt. Even if I put in the effort to detransition, it wouldn't change the fact that I lost who

10:13

I should have been, who I was meant to be. I lost my teen years and I lost myself. I'm just so lost. I have no idea who I am. I don't know what to do or where to go from here.

10:19

Existing like this is so painful, but undoing anything will hurt other people. I'm scared of talking about this to people close to me. They wouldn't understand.

10:25

I'm scared of the truth, but I need to get to know myself and I want to keep going. This is not an abnormal post in this subreddit.

10:31

I'm not kidding. Just go read some of them. There are so many people that are crying out for help that feel like they are going to be alienated from family members, from friends, from the

10:37

LGBTQ plus community. As intolerant as the

10:43

LGBTQ community is towards those of us from the outside who criticize it and speak out against its many evils, especially the evil it is inflicting upon countless young people, there is arguably one group of people this community is even more intolerant towards and is those who share their detransition stories and expose the corruption and manipulation taking place within the transgender movement.

11:07

But there's another aspect to this story that hasn't gotten as much attention. The girl who changes her mind will not only be stuck with the irreversible changes inflicted on her body, but to add vicious insult to severe injury, she will also have to endure the venomous attacks from trans activists who will treat her like a traitor if she decides that she'd rather embrace her biological identity than continue living a lie.

11:34

So the comments under Casey's video on Twitter are overrun with trans people ruthlessly insulting and mocking her.

11:44

Ruthless. This includes prominent trans activists with large followings who have sent their legions to tear this girl to shreds.

11:52

She's already suffering. She's already in a very dark place, obviously. And they're trying to send her right over the edge.

12:02

This is someone suffering and their response is to mock her and belittle her and express contempt for her.

12:11

Not only that, but most of them are still referring to her as him, you know, so much for preferred pronouns. They've decided that she's a man and can never not be a man, no matter what she says about herself.

12:21

Now, I would go through and read you examples of the sorts of things they're saying, but I think that would be that would not be very productive.

12:27

And I also don't really want to amplify these insults, though. You can go to her page and see it for yourself.

12:33

So this is something to keep in mind when when you and this is why it's important, because when you hear about the the number of D transitioners and people who are expressing regret about their transitions, these are only the people willing to speak out in spite of the mockery and threats and alienation and social ostracization they'll experience because of it.

12:55

How many more would be going public if not for their fear of experiencing the exact same kind of treatment?

13:01

We have already seen several examples of parents encouraging and enabling their underage children to enter into the process of life altering testosterone treatment and surgeries.

13:11

These parents are completely failing in their duties to protect their children and teach them the truth and will face

13:18

God's severe judgment for the evil they are inflicting upon their children. Go stand back so I can see it.

13:25

Okay, but mommy, I don't have to wear this. Are you a boy or a girl? I don't know.

13:32

I don't know who I am. You don't know who you are? Who do you think you are?

13:38

But Christians have hope because the unbelievable evil we see in the culture around us is all part of God's sovereign plan.

13:47

And rather than feel discouraged or scared, we should recognize that this evil gives true

13:53

Christians an opportunity to trust in God and to boldly speak the truth in a culture where it will be very clear who has submitted to what

14:01

God has revealed in His word and who has not. That there is an increasing hostility towards and persecution of Christians should make us excited to be able to represent

14:12

Christ's name in such a culture and to even suffer because of His name as the early

14:19

Christians did. Though this is the best of times, I'm glad I've survived to be around for the adventure of this time where the truth is going to mean more and where the culture fears the truth more than they fear anything else.

14:31

That's a perfect scenario for us to proclaim the gospel. Thank you so much for watching. If you like these videos and want to help support this channel, the best way to do it is to watch these videos until the end and click the subscribe button.
