Jazz Jennings was the TV poster child for going trans and using puberty blockers.
00:00:05.660
The show promoting child transition called I Am Jazz is still running in its eighth year
00:00:14.080
I happened to see a few clips on Twitter the other day and decided to check in and see
00:00:19.200
Well, he had his bottom removed and inverted and now has a binge eating disorder, is obese,
00:00:25.760
depressed, and says he doesn't feel like himself.
00:00:29.140
His mother acts like it's not a big deal and all is normal.
00:00:33.660
Let's check out a little trailer for this new season.
00:00:43.460
Two years ago, I was on my way to one of the greatest institutions in the world, but I
00:00:48.780
was actually struggling severely with mental health issues.
00:00:53.520
I started binge eating and I gained weight and more weight and more weight.
00:00:57.020
And now, almost 100 pounds heavier, here I am today.
00:01:11.560
I can't do so many things with my body that I used to be able to do.
00:01:19.320
This is my first formal date with a trans woman.
00:01:26.560
He has two balloons they put under his skin right there.
00:01:30.180
I don't think I've done something like this carefree in a while.
00:01:33.100
This is a great first date with an amazing and beautiful woman.
00:02:08.960
Sander, he gets along very well with transgender women.
00:02:31.820
could I see myself with someone who's not received her bottom surgery yet?
00:02:48.340
We're not putting butter on it right now, Jazz.
00:02:53.560
Even when we think we're doing something right,
00:03:13.820
They're just going to let Jazz in because it's Jazz, right?
00:03:22.380
Remember there was that conspiracy regarding that it was actually a girl
00:03:29.540
Because as a technicality here, I know it's a side issue,
00:03:31.780
but are you telling me that this boy, as it's getting fatter,
00:03:35.940
is also getting larger and larger breast implants?
00:03:47.840
but it's just, I just looked at that and it's like,
00:03:50.740
it all kind of swelled up, you know what I mean?
00:03:53.880
Wouldn't it just be like smaller, like whatever it is,
00:03:59.580
When you see younger pictures, it's like it was a boy.
00:04:07.320
I mean, because they really were launching this...
00:04:14.760
You got to really consider whether you could even go up to school.
00:04:23.680
I can tell you that it's different now because it's now or never.
00:04:38.280
Yeah, flaunting the scars after having this bottom surgery where they,
00:04:44.980
I'm not sure everything that happened here, but they're cutting it off and inverting it
00:04:53.500
Now, it turns out jazz had severe surgical complications.
00:05:01.280
They don't get into what all the complications are, but we can kind of guess what those complications
00:05:06.140
are when trying to chop off your dick and balls or whatever they do and create a vagina.
00:05:13.900
And now there's another clip I want to play that jazz doesn't feel himself after surgery.
00:05:20.900
Are you feeling like you wanted to start talking about?
00:05:40.340
But the more you're talking about yourself, it gets harder.
00:05:43.180
You're digging in and it's making you put a magnifying glass on what's already difficult
00:05:57.200
I feel kind of all over the place and like my mind is very cluttered and not clear.
00:06:04.620
I really want to understand myself and be able to read my own soul and what I want.
00:06:11.900
And I think I'm kind of breaking down a little bit and spiraling into negativity.
00:06:16.200
All I want is to be happy and feel like myself.
00:06:21.180
No, because you were born a boy unless the conspiracy is real.
00:06:26.540
Now, there's this other clip that's really just disgusting.
00:06:30.040
I mean, I saw I can't find that one particular clip, but Jazz Jennings mom was like, Jazz was
00:06:36.800
talking about, you know, all the problems that he's feeling and everything.
00:06:41.080
And she's like, the mom's all, don't say anything.
00:06:43.760
You don't want to discourage other people from also chopping their dicks off.
00:06:50.140
But that's what I want to listen to a clip like that.
00:06:52.380
Like these people have some severe mental issues.
00:06:56.620
And this is the cruelty of saying that, no, your mental issues, depression, your whatever
00:07:02.880
you're suffering from will go away as long as you just pretend to be someone else for a
00:07:08.140
But of course, what happens as shown is this, that the walls cave in eventually when the
00:07:12.840
high of the newness goes away and then the same old problem rolls around.
00:07:17.060
And that's, of course, why I forget whether it was some of the highest suicide rates that
00:07:22.580
And people have argued, too, that the estrogen they take is like a placebo.
00:07:30.460
And then the reality sets in of what they've done to their body.
00:07:34.440
And all these other side effects and the gaping wound in their body.
00:07:37.500
But yeah, here's a Jazz's mom just reminding Jazz, you need to dilate your vagina.
00:07:51.600
But with her, I'm worried about like her mental well-being and her dilation.
00:07:58.960
The minute she leaves my house, we have a dilation problem.
00:08:03.740
When you don't have that watchful eye, they tend to go back to old patterns.
00:08:08.720
I have woken Jazz out of a dead sleep and taken the dilator and put the lubrication on
00:08:17.780
But Jazz is bad, even when I'm home once a day.
00:08:20.220
I will be so mad if she goes away to college and that thing seals up.
00:08:27.980
And then what, I mean, we're talking about this on the learning channel.
00:08:32.420
No, it's, it's, it's, it's just, um, it's a wound in its body, his body.
00:08:43.060
Well, I mean, how are they peeing and all that stuff?
00:08:46.700
We've seen some disgusting, you know, pictures and videos.
00:08:49.800
How the, how the sausage is made or how it's unmade, new vaginas, right?
00:08:54.960
But, uh, yeah, no, I wonder how the body of all just deals with like just having an open
00:09:03.420
No, I mean, your immune system is, is going to freak out too.
00:09:06.620
Not many people could imagine this like just, I mean, what, 10 years ago that it wasn't
00:09:12.080
this, it existed, but it wasn't front and center in mainstream culture back then.
00:09:21.420
It's just full on like over the last few years.
00:09:23.620
Put a bookmark in this and imagine the things that they will be pushing on us in 2033, 10
00:09:33.740
But, you know, it's going to be some shit with like cyborg parts or machine parts or
00:09:41.560
This story did not begin well and it's not going to end well.
00:09:44.980
In fact, now there are cases where there are people have detransitioned and who are suing
00:09:49.700
clinics and hospitals who performed their sex change operation.
00:09:56.640
What's, what's your reaction to hear Layla's story?
00:10:01.680
We're starting to see so many more stories like this of teenagers that have vulnerabilities.
00:10:05.960
They may have mental health struggles and they are being pushed to transition.
00:10:09.620
And what's interesting with this case is this girl that went to this hospital, the Kaiser
00:10:13.380
Pemiat, Chloe Cole, the famous detransitional, also went there and they have the same attorney
00:10:18.980
who's fantastic, Harmeet Dillon, who is representing them.
00:10:22.140
And Harmeet has said that doctors told parents in both cases the exact same story.
00:10:26.640
They said, would you rather have a dead daughter or a son?
00:10:31.800
Coercion tactic with parents to say that your kid is going to commit suicide.
00:10:35.620
And what's interesting here is the same hospital is basically using a script to try and scare
00:10:40.460
parents and push them into transitioning their child.
00:10:43.060
What on earth is going through these doctors' minds when they think it's perfectly normal
00:10:46.520
to manipulate these vulnerable teenagers to coerce their parents?
00:10:51.000
And I really hope that Kayla is successful in Chloe Cole because this will really open
00:10:56.520
If we can allow these detransitioners to sue these clinics, rebuse, you know, I think that's
00:11:02.520
I mean, they're forever destroyed, their bodies, and they don't come back from it.
00:11:08.460
You don't actually detransition and become what you were before.
00:11:16.240
There's people that are speaking out against that now after they've had these horrific
00:11:20.900
Remember the, of course, appropriately, everyone who's in the conspiracy field, the right Tavistock
00:11:26.940
It was this Tavistock, I guess, part of the hospital there or something like that that
00:11:31.180
were doing a lot of these transitions and stuff.
00:11:33.660
And they try to claim, no, no, it's this very rigorous process and a psychologist and stuff.
00:11:39.040
And then these kids are coming out and basically just saying, no, it was like I was pushed
00:11:46.240
They did this to me when I was like 14, 15, 16.
00:11:49.120
And then all of a sudden I wake up when I'm 22 and just like, wait a minute, I can never
00:11:57.480
By the way, I also checked in on Desmond is amazing.
00:12:00.480
The other promoted boy who was pushed as a child drag performer.
00:12:08.560
But let's play a little clip to remind people of this promoted drag queen kid.
00:12:13.700
Desmond, you're one of the youngest and first drag queen slash kids.
00:12:25.100
From young adults who look up to you for being who you are.
00:12:30.400
Some of the notes I've gotten are like that you inspire me very much and I wish I could
00:12:43.900
We saw your parents in a piece that we did and your parents are so supportive of you.
00:12:48.820
But they've also, they've encouraged you to stay and be who you are.
00:12:53.880
I mean, he is, I mean, he 100% have molested that kid.
00:13:01.540
And this woman is totally clueless and like, yay, look, we're on TV and everyone likes me now.
00:13:10.000
I mean, there's just sick, of course, people as well.
00:13:12.320
But, and then, of course, the customary of that Good Morning America, they're going to
00:13:28.980
And then I checked in on his Twitter from his website.
00:13:36.020
They have these auto, you know, kind of things.
00:13:43.560
I still think he's going to be dead at 30 or AIDS by then.
00:13:48.260
So he's quit being a child drag performer because he's 15 hours old, right?
00:13:57.460
He's going into fashion and makeup where he can be around more pedophiles and abusers.
00:14:06.760
Let me see if I can find the Instagram here real quick.
00:14:16.660
No, it actually makes you sterile and more likely to kill you.
00:14:24.380
This November, Covenant House invites you to join the fight to achieve a world where every
00:14:29.200
young person has access to housing, support, healing, and opportunity.
00:14:33.780
Me, on my way to the trans bathroom to take the fattest she-eat of my life.
