Minor correction: stenosis means that the tube is abnormally narrow. Thrombosis means that clots are present. Embolism means that the blood vessel has been obstructed. Thromboembolism means that the obstruction is due to clot. (There can be other causes of embolism, such as air or fat).
Thank you. Stenosis is narrowing. My intent was to convey that thrombosis is a narrowing or blockage specifically caused by blood clots that are not moving. Embolism is when the blood clot (or as you point out also fat or air) is moving.
Thrombus means clot, which may move. Embolus means something that causes blockage of a blood vessel. Embolism means the blockage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embolism
I believe they're often caused by bladder being unable to empty entirely due to various physical issues, stagnant urine building up, and dehydration making that urine highly concentrated.
Yes both stones and repeat infections are a consequence of incomplete emptying... Incomplete emptying is a consequence of such a brutal surgery, and that fact is obvious to any person with a bit of training in human anatomy&physiology, much less the 10+ years of medical training required to become a surgical specialist.... Im so pissed. All those involved should have their licenses permanently revoked..
I mean, I learned it via Google a while ago after seeing a terrifying photo if a removed bladder jack. If I can join the dots for this woman and her ' team's can't it really says to me they don't give a damn about their patient.
His is a sad story. He was deluded, betrayed and then defamed. How dare Mount Sinai have banned him? But then, those monster surgeons knew they had done wrong and that Yarden was doomed to sepsis. Yarden then chose. I feel for his parents or partner when they found him.
These are so hard, and so powerful. We must not look away. Thank you, Ex, for finding the fortitude to prep and present the Dead Names memorial gallery. Please take very good care of yourself.
I recall the older back-and-forth videos between you & Griffin, and she had so much attitude and naïveté. These posts show how she began to wake up to the horrors of illness and deterioration. It is heartbreaking to know she could've grown into a content woman, able to enjoy a strong body and its pleasures and capabilities. This is a very uncomfortable compilation of posts. I am sad to know that people can be so dreadfully misguided, and so disrespectful and ignorant of the gift of a body.
It sounds like the gender affirming surgery kept being prioritized or at least offered in a carrot on stick way even as she was developing more and more life threatening complications that eventually did kill her.
I do think that by the end she must have realized that being 'trapped' in a healthy body wasn't even comparable to being trapped in a dying one with male affectations.
The sheer butchery if it all, and the callousness if these doctors and medical teams.
It seems for all the trans glorification, they're treated as third class patients whose surgically-induced cascade of complications and chronic pain and infections are seen as an irksome moral failure of the patient, not the entirely experimental procedures that were visited in them.
The urology segment in particular had me furious. The bladder stones caused by being consistently unable to empty her bladder properly due to the butchery, and never should have happened. These medical teams need to be prosecuted for being so negligent. The callousness astounds me.
National Review has an article today https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/10/money-is-driving-medicines-embrace-of-child-transgenderism/ which made me think of when Griffin posted gleefully (in 2021 or '22?) about how little she had to pay out-of-pocket for the surgeries she had to remove her breasts and uterus and her subsequent supra-pubic armskin-roulade attachment (phalloplasty). I seem to recall she paid out-of-pocket ca $5000 of her medical bills which THEN added up to ca $700,000. That's probably a a small sum compared to what came afterwards – the surgeries to fix the failed surgeries, the pulmonary embolism, heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, respiratory failure, kidney infections and failure, staph, fungal, bladder infections, sepsis, and post-sepsis syndrome. I can't help but wonder how much money Griffin made the Transenstein/Frankenstein medical machine before she died. That this is allowed to continue is a crime and monstrous abuse, not only of these poor kids, but of medical resources and the people who really NEED them – and the people who PAY for them! You and me!
This one is like a particularly relentless horror novel. She knew the surgeries were killing her, but she had to try to stay up-beat and pro-surgery. The thing she thought would solve all her problems, the thing everyone told her would solve all her problems, only caused more and more problems of every kind, until finally the surgeries killed her. It didn't help her dysphoria, it didn't help anything. Her diary is a harsh look into a horrific fad. The surgeons and therapists and teachers promoting this must be held accountable for so many young lives destroyed.
So heartbreaking that this young woman had to suffer so badly and no one around her helped at all, I don't know how a person can sit and watch a person suffer like that and ignore it. Worse profit off it.
This legit made me cry. I don't have no where near her problems, but I have chronic pain and a few messed up organs that interfere with my every day life (don't want to get into it), not life threatening, but I understand suffering and frustration with inept doctors. Poor, poor, girl. The absolute HORROR.
The most distressing story I’ve possibly ever heard. And I’ve heard a lot. Rest in peace poor baby girl. Peace from your physical and emotional pain. I’m sorry you were lied to in the most obscene way. This has to stop!

The bladder stones are a predictable consequence of urinary infection: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12135839/

This is going to be important. I predict, unfortunately, that this is the start of a wave.
We will see. Yarden's is the most viral video of mine on Twitter that's actually my video. 325k and rising

This one hits me hard. What an unbelievable amount of suffering for such a young person., and that's just the parts she was willing to share.
These are so hard, and so powerful. We must not look away. Thank you, Ex, for finding the fortitude to prep and present the Dead Names memorial gallery. Please take very good care of yourself.

We could have switched lives if we switched birthdays. She was a good kid.

I do think that by the end she must have realized that being 'trapped' in a healthy body wasn't even comparable to being trapped in a dying one with male affectations.
Sick travesty that this was allowed to happen.
Its so ridiculous. We arent trapped in our bodies, we are our bodies
This is so heartbreaking…

On a nicer note, love the new hair, Exulansic!
99% of these poor souls parrot the "it's my body's fault" .. they may complain about "rude" docs but never about the mutilation.
This is so heartbreaking.

sounds like her parents have mental problems too.
