1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,960 I can't believe this happened. I ruined my life. When you break it down I decided 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,400 that I didn't want to be a woman before I had ever even experienced being a 3 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,800 woman. I had no idea what being a woman was like because I was a child and now 4 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:38,080 I feel like I will never entirely know. I want to say that I really feel like some 5 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,720 people in the trans community and the trans medicalists and the doctors really 6 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:49,280 really target the most vulnerable of us. I have borderline personality disorder 7 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:58,400 and I know for a fact that this is the reason for my transition. It's a very 8 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:04,960 difficult mental illness and one of the core features is not having any sense of 9 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:15,280 self or identity and my doctors knew this. I told them, even though they didn't ask, 10 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,200 um, that I had been diagnosed with BPD um and it was all fine to them. I 11 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,960 wasn't happy as a girl so that meant I was a boy 12 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,320 and I was trans and so I 13 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:37,760 I just um took the cure that was handed to me. 14 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:45,600 um I I was told that I was being given a cure 15 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,600 and I I wouldn't want to kill myself anymore um and it wasn't true 16 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,800 I didn't want to cry in this video but this is such a hard thing to talk about. I um 17 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:13,120 um I lost a lot of things to this and I just hope that anyone else who's going through what I went 18 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:23,920 through as a young girl will not be prescribed hormones and surgery because of other things. 19 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,320 um you know there are so many mental health disorders that make you hate your body 20 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,280 and the solution isn't to change your body it's to fix your brain you know um I just don't want 21 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:45,600 anyone else to ever feel this way I lost my voice I lost my chest I don't know if I'm going to be able 22 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:59,280 to have kids um I feel like no one wants to date me or love me because I'm ruined
