Another lawsuit. We will be seeing many and the extent of this damage in the years to come
"Don't they have to sign a waiver? I would have thought their govt. would have closed any loopholes that might come back and hit them in the pockets (well, actually UK taxpayer pockets). But anyways, this MAN's journey is very disturbing...and sadly it is not a one-off. Here are some excerpts from the article...
THEN: He claims NHS failed to take mental health crisis into account before procedurein his 20s, he stumbled across the idea of gender dysphoria in an internet chatroom. Older men on the forum convinced the vulnerable young man he ‘must be trans’. After a series of breakdowns, in 2012 he decided to seek professional help. He was referred to a psychologist, who did not dissuade him of the notion he had gender dysphoria, and then to the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service, run by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust. According to Ritchie, he was diagnosed with ‘transsexualism’ after just two 30-minute appointments. A psychiatrist recommended he take medication to block his testosterone production – the first step towards gender reassignment. The only attempt to put the brakes on came from a close family member, who came to the appointment at the clinic with him. Ritchie says: ‘She told the doctor I was on a high dose of antidepressants and had lots of complex issues, and yet they were referring me for gender treatment.’ So why did he go along with it? ‘I was 26,’ he says, ‘but I was very vulnerable.’
In July 2015, Ritchie received a referral for vaginoplasty surgery. He says he told the psychiatrist he was unsure and turned it down, but continued to receive therapy. In 2017, he was given another referral for surgery, to be performed at the Nuffield Health hospital in Brighton but paid for by the NHS. Ritchie refused it again – but says he was told that if he did not accept the referral he would be discharged from the service. This sent him into a ‘tailspin’, he recalls. He believed it meant his therapy would also be withdrawn, which had been a ‘lifeline’. He had recently admitted he felt suicidal.
NOW: It takes him ten minutes to empty his bladder, a process as painful as it is slow. Any sex drive is long gone. In fact, he says, his crotch is numb, ‘shell-shocked’ from the damage done to him under the apparent care of the NHS. The UK govt. is making money off of these poor dekusional souls. It is a new source of revenue for them. But anyways...curious to see how lawsuits play out in this and if that picks up steam across the pond over here in the US. The "detransitioners" are definitely shunned...they could help bring down the whole deck of cards and call into question WHY govt. are perpetuating this without proper safeguards to really evaluate a person's mental state of being. But parents are ph0bic for wanting to keep these ideologies away from kids in school/media.
