I've watched some of the "I am Jazz" videos commented on by the brilliant Exulansic and each time all I feel is horror. This is exploitative child abuse and everyone is a winner except (eventually Jazz). Who watches this programme for entertainment and feels fine about it?! Every time I hear a story like the one of Leo, and the detransitioners mentioned in the book "Trans" I am horrified. There is no informed consent here! Informed would mean they know the risks and they know the side-effects and long-term effects. As Exulansic said during "The Mess We're In", I don't want to be around when Jazz finally realises the full extent of what has happened. She already has mental health issues (seen in the trailer when she thinks Harvard would bad for her mental health and says her mind goes to dark places) - I want to scream at her - "of course it does, you're being abused so other people can feel entertained and your family can make money".

On a related note - I see Lush have spun why they have left most social media (except the cess pool that is Twitter funnily enough), into an attack on social media platforms. Nice try Lush, many of us know you're trying to come up roses after encouraging girls to bind their breasts. Your shops may smell like a sultan's boudoir but we know it's just to cover up the real stink.

I read on Twitter that the documentary will be subtitled in English by next week.

That documentary sounds like a horror movie but if that's what it takes to shine a light on the cult of gender identity...

To think the vast majority of kids with gender dysphoria get over it fairly quickly, but instead of letting them get over it, they give them "osteoporosis... bone fractures, deep regret from voice changes, injuries, deteriorating mental health and significant weight gains."

So what would Laurie Penny, Owen Jones, Billy Bragg et al say to these kids?

The problems lie with the Transhausen parents. Who amongst us would allow our kids to suffer like this? I know teenagers are a nightmare but allowing them to mutilate & ruin their confused wee selves like this is negligent & an abdication of parental care & responsibility. Give it a few years & the litigation will speak for itself.

The usual Circular illogic: "transwomen...told the doctors about how they needed to shift the focus from potential harm to children to fighting transphobia."

Don't define transphobia....just say "Its transphobic because we say its transphobic".

"That’s ‘Dysphoric’ And of course, there’s Exulansic’s channel, which made me understand that ‘I Am Jazz’ is the first time a child has been abused onscreen for the purposes of entertainment."

Tobacco, armaments, slavery, pornography, trans surgery etc … now its in the media. some people have no morals, ethics, no nothing.

I just watched the Jazz video his family is disgusting...get out son and don't look back.

The whole lot of them have no redeemable features.

They are bland, boring nobodies exploitering their son's mental issues.

Capacity of man for cruelty and sadistic pleasure in using and abusing others. So much for civilised.

Admittedly this is a superficial point but if you're a body conscious young male, you've got no chance of steroids being prescribed.

I understand women have to jump through hoops to get HRT prescribed too.

So what the hell is going on?

Some stats: 440 kids in sweden given blockers last five years, 87 of them given for more than three years. They seem to not have done controls of skeleton on atleast some of these kids (the boy in the show had not any controls done until his back started aching) https://www.google.se/amp/s/amp.svt.se/nyheter/granskning/ug/vart-femte-barn-som-fatt-stopphormoner-har-behandlats-for-lange

What is clear from watching Exulansic's video is that not only should Jazz have had a thorough mental and physical health screening, but so should the entire family. My apologies to anyone whose eyes are too close together, but I have observed over the decades that often comes with a less-than-stellar intellectual capability. These parents and grandparents appear to be moronic, very simplistic language skills, virtually no capacity for critical thinking, little capacity for empathy which even some severely challenged people possess.

The pharmaceutical industry makes a big profit from all the treatments it promotes. I would say puberty blockers/cross sex hormones would rake in a considerable sum. Big Pharma is very powerful, and there are many examples of it not acting in the best interests of its patients:

In 2009, Pfizer, the world’s largest drug company, agreed to pay $2.3bn (£1.4bn) to settle charges of fraud and civil and criminal liability over its promotion of off-label use of four drugs:

https://www.businessinsider.com/pfizer-to-pay-23-billion-in-biggest-fine-every-for-deceitful-advertising-2009-9?r=US&IR=T

At the time, according to the US Department of Justice, it was the biggest healthcare fraud settlement in the department’s history. But to put it in context, the New York Times said that the $2.3bn amounted to less than THREE WEEKS of Pfizer sales (www.nytimes.com, 3 Sep, “Pfizer to pay $2.3 billion to settle inquiry over marketing”). So where is the incentive for them to stop?

Not the most trustworthy industry then. I think there will be a lot of lawsuits in years to come, when the side effects of some of the latest 'treatments' come to light. Pity it will be too little too late for a lot of people.

How is this news?

Cover ups are routine in organized crime.
