I had to watch this multiple times as I couldn’t grasp what the Tiktoker was getting at due to all the innuendo and false labelling of the clitoris. When I realised what had actually happened to her, I genuinely felt sick to my stomach and horrified. WHY would anybody do this?! Was she so unfamiliar with her own female anatomy and clitoris that it enabled her perception to be twisted this badly by an unscrupulous doctor? Did she ever even touch it before starting ‘transition’? It’s heartbreaking how taboo the topic of female pleasure is - how many girls have been afraid to explore their own bodies because of the shame?

To blame the surgical abuser would be too extremely painful; the helpless reality of victim-hood under the power of her abuser---

Agree. It takes the whole victimhood movement to a new level. But curiously leaves gender stereotypes, unlike her anatomy, intact. The male doctor mansplains to the woman who says yes sir and then blames herself when things go wrong. Where is her rage? Does she hide it in order to keep her fake friends?

Sunk cost trap…

Simple release. Simple metoidioplasty. Clitoral release. The deliberately deceptive naming of these severe mutilations with these bland gaslighting names is so cynical. Her clitoris was not "trapped" or restricted or incarcerated, ffs - it didn't need "releasing"! The naming makes it sound easy and freeing, and sure, to some extent just cutting body parts off people is straightforward: snip, there it goes. But the idea that these deeply invasive cutting procedures will have simple, limited, controllable outcomes is deliberately misleading. Everything is connected to everything else! I can't imagine her pain, and that surgeon is a monster.

All of the terminology is simple/infantile/deceptive. Add to your list, "top surgery" instead of "elective mastectomy." "Bottom surgery" (though a lot of people do refer to the shortened "phallo", but probably b/c anything penis-related is A-OK to talk about), "jack-o-lanterning" (gag), FFS (facial feminization surgery, though the other initialism comes to mind here, too)...heck, just "T" for testosterone. Oh, and my favorite, "titty skittles" for estrogen pills.

Haha, titty skittles is hilarious. I agree - I was thinking about all the other euphemisms as well.

Particularly insidious is the medical-jargon type of euphemism, which is technically correct but also sanitises and legitimises what is being done. "Elective double mastectomy" is in fact, a medically unnecessary total breast amputation. People WINCE when I say "amputating genitals" or "amputating breasts", but let's call it what it is.

There is a long medical history of downplaying what doctors are doing by making up a word for it. Symphysiotomy is one of the sickest acts of violence ever done to women: that is cutting open (sometimes with a hacksaw or bolt cutters) a woman's pelvis if she is struggling to give birth vaginally because her pelvis hasn't spread enough. Sometimes these women have never walked again and are incontinent for life. Welcome to the nightmare that is knowing there are women out there who had this done to them in living memory. You could also call lobotomy "an ice pick to the brain", but just Greekifying or Latinising the terms doesn't make it a legitimate thing to do to people.

I hate to Godwin myself, but I bet Mengele had a lot of euphemisms for his experiments in torturing people to death, and we don't accept those are legit.

And we decry this in the Third World.

Yes first world countries taking female genital mutilation to a whole new level. The same people that will decry third world countries female genital mutilation will gladly "affirm" mutilation because they think someone is "trans". When is this crazy going to end???! Sorry you had insomnia, Exulansic, but thanks for another great video!

Imagine being that divorced from reality. Wow.

Apparently this person is a life coach and "trans keynote speaker." How much of this (for this person and others) is just an attempt to make a living from being an influencer? What kind of money are they earning and what is the source, I wonder? Brings to mind that other person you featured - can't remember their name but they were English - who went from something (autistic maybe?) to trans to having fibromyalgia and those topics were the source of the content they were producing. Just trying to find the right niche that'll make them a millionaire...?

And a lot of ATTENTION 😉

I can't help myself and often look at the tiktok channels if I can read them from the videos here. There's another one on this channel where there's a comment from another metoidioplasty patient that is fairly appalling. Maybe you should check their channel (vampirespeyder) too, based on this exchange...(warning, kinda gross)

The self-hatred of these people never ceases to amaze me. Yet this one seems to have tremendous free-floating resentment and anger without being able to focus on the source. There is self-blame, but to me it comes across as phony. Of course religious fanatics cannot blame their gods, no matter what, and in this religion the surgeons are top-tier gods.

These predatory surgeons belong in prison.

“Heads up on manliness “!😂😂😂 how are you clever and funny in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep? Me, I’m smoking cigarettes on my balcony and not funny at all!

Just a thought- who seems angrier and more aggressive in the aftermath of this Frankenstein-ish tragedy? Male to female or female to male? This woman sounds like many women who have a hard time placing blame on anyone other than themselves. I too find myself feeling sympathy for this person ( maybe because she’s a she?) and I ( if I’m being honest) have contempt for most of the males who want to be women.
