R4 the Trans agenda and nutty Trans activists want to destroy gay and bisexual culture and identities, and they would love to do the same to the sexes man and woman.

Also with all of how young kids and teenagers are given hormones and surgeries, reminds me of sick things Dr. Josef Mengele, Horst Schumann, and Carl Clauberg did on Jews, Slavs, black people in Germany, bisexual and gay men, lesbian women, and Germanic men and women who refused to submit.

There are trans people, but there's no way that all of these kids and teens who claim to be trans really are. Some are trans, but if they want to transition they have the rest of their lives as adults to make the personal choice to transition and get a life changing surgery, take hormones which will totally change who they are, etc.

Also, Trans people want to force bisexual people to use the terms queer and pansexual, falsely claiming that the term bisexual is 'Transphobic', while ignoring how the actual definition of the word pansexual means someone who will have sex with animals and do other deviant and illegal things sexually. Then you have the nutty trans people/trans activists who will flat out tell bisexuals, gay men, and lesbian women, and even hetero people who have nothing against trans people; but who do not want to date or sleep with someone that they are being Trans.

Jazz is no more feminine than Jenner. Drag queens often have very feminine mannerisms but Jazz does not. I have never seen the show so the short youtube clip was the first experience with body language and voice. She also speaks very crassly and seems to burp a lot. Pulling out a hairbrush and using it in the short clip while talking was also weird. Does Jazz get out much around peers or is life pretty much online?

The voice, mannerisms and obsessive talking about genitals give some clues as to why Jazz is socially isolated from peers. Just seeing the short vid, it is hard to imagine that this show is widely watched by the general public. Maybe in certain circles this manner of speaking is typical but it is annoying as hell.

R28, bisexual people are not into having sex with animals, but pansexuals gladly will such this psychopathic pansexual Alton Brown.

A rarity as a black serial killer, Coleman preferred to victimize African Americans - with Marlene Walters his only white murder victim - and once said he was forced by blacks to kill other members of his race. By the time he killed 9-year-old Vernita Wheat in Waukegan, Ill., on May 29, 1994, Coleman was well known to Chicago-area police as a sexual predator. While only once convicted and sent to prison (where he forced three other inmates to have sex), his rap sheet contained four arrests for rape. He had even been accused by a half-sister of sexually molesting his 9-year-old niece. A prison psychiatric profile found Coleman, a ninth grade dropout with an IQ on the lower edge of normal, to be 'a pansexual willing to have intercourse with any object, women, men, children, whatever.'

by Anonymousreply 40July 4, 2018 4:53 PM

How could Jazz say: I had never experienced any sexual sensations or had an orgasm --- at AGE 17?!

Why has no doctor or therapist addressed that?

Is that due to being put on a blocker so early?

The surgeon was saying that those who experience orgasms before surgery typically continue to do so.

I am honestly baffled that this show is portrayed as some pro-T propaganda when it is a cautionary tale. NO sexual sensations for LIFE (pre or post op) is not normal or healthy. No amount of shopping makes up for that or the loneliness of no peer friendships. No wonder the kid is chubby.

This is really sad. Had not seen the mother, she is very masculine looking. The father seems hen pecked and a bit weird. I read he is a lawyer, no way is he a litigator. No alpha vibe whatsoever.

The whole thing is baffling as I question whether or not Jazz will ever have a penis in the vagina she says she wanted from age 3. Some kids want to be puppies or Orphan Annie, we do not lock them into it or make the family revolve around (financially too!) it though.

On the other thread someone spoke of a grandfather who expressed concerns - is he the father of the mother or the father?

by Anonymousreply 41July 4, 2018 5:08 PM

Actually, the stat has flipped and there are now far more young women identifying as T. Many after being sexually assaulted. It is a very misogynistic world, maybe it makes them feel safer. Many of the young women are on the autism spectrum and have other mental health diagnoses. When Schumer spoke of his lesbian daughter getting engaged, I was surprised. A generation of lesbians has gone T instead, and the ones that remain are targets of the autogyn/MRA/cotton ceiling crowd.

Autogyns make up the next biggest group - they are typically straight men who used to marry and have kids and cross dress. It is a fetish that is lived full time and it is sexually arousing to them. These are the T who are focused on access to women only spaces, it often literally gets them off.

None of it was really his choice. It started at age 5 (or earlier?). He sounds completely brainwashed. Every time he talks it is just the trans program of what you had to say. When he asked questions about does anyone look at a vagina he broke through the trans speeches for a few seconds and the parents just laughed and wouldn't answer him. All they know is the trans speech.

Is he going to school? Does he plan to go to university? Does he have any academic interests? Is this going to be his whole life?

The hairbrush bit was weird. Like a bit of visual choreography to break up the video which was all speaking. Was he told to do that, or is he so used to performing for cameras he knew to incorporate something visual to look at for entertainment purposes? Or was he reasserting he is a "a girl"?

It's all an adrenaline rush and distraction. He's so used to being in the spotlight with media, social media attention and well wishers, etc. As long as he can keep that going he can put off what all of this might actually mean for his every day life. Imagine Jazz working in a hum drum cube farm , not being a celeb, having to integrate being trans into a normal life. He might feel differently. That said, I think he can keep this going for a long time. There will inevitably be a book, he'll be a celeb in the trans world and invited to all sorts of events and speaking engagements, maybe more tv, and on and on. He's clickbait.

IIRC he was close to a toddler (maybe 2?) when his mom decided he was trans. Something about putting on her very female slippers? This hag had three other kids so she should know that kids put on adults' shoes all the time. Instead, she was searching for something that made her special. A gay boy wasn't enough, so she hoped on the Trans bandwagon and will ride it to the end, no matter what it has done to her son.

How has a 17 year old NEVER HAD ANY SEXUAL SENSATIONS? Is this some new eunuch program - chemically castrate in grade school then do the chop and dilate in HS? Dilating seems super unsexy. Unless the blood and pain are your thing.

No wonder they all spend so much time online, they need to be occupied in the 3x a day sessions. I cannot imagine taking hormones that have links to kidney issues, MS or heart attacks and having to lay around 3x a day with a tube stuck in me, motionless.

If every kid who "felt like the opposite sex" was allowed the freedom he was, would we have a gender dysphoria problem today?

Yes, R67. He had a micro peen, so it could not be inverted. One option was to rub hormone creams into it, Jazz refused. Another was to use a skin stretching technique, Jazz refused. Another option is using intestinal tissue, Jazz refused, worried about smell.

Seems that they went with an experimental procedure using some kind of stomach lining tissue, using laparoscopy. Hope it works out for Jazz.

That's horrible about the blockers. Just let the kid grow into a fully-grown adult with a full-sized dick and see where he stands.

Jazz was encouraged to masturbate before the surgery with he hope that after the surgery she would experience sexual pleasure. Apparently she never did, I suspect because masturbating with a penis would scare her into not wanting he surgery because she’d like her cock so much.

by Anonymousreply 72July 4, 2018 9:41 PM

She did enjoy being able to pee standing up.

The tissue they harvested for her fake vagina is from her abdominal wall, the peritoneum. I cannot believe they took a huge swath of that out. Cannot imagine how they did it. It would be like having an instant giant hernia.

Yes, they showed her waking up from the testosterone blocker surgery saying, "I have a boner". Her brothers instantly doubled over in laughter and her mother warned, "Jazz, you are being filmed. You are on camera."

The dad looked mortified.

Jazz did not want to masturbate, or have a tissue expander placed in her scrotum, or have an intestinal tissue graft because of the smell. She basically wanted an instant vagina, please. No fuss, no muss. Ahem.

Whoa, all this stuff about not wanting to find ways to create enough tissue because it meant dealing with his genitalia are warning signs. This is not a kid who's making mature, fully thought-out decisions.

Jazz doesn't seem like a boy, but he doesn't really seem like a girl either--it's that uncanny valley thing--even with the boobs. He's not actually all that feminine, which is strange given that he's been role-playing a girl since he was a toddler. Part of it is the skeletal differences--the forehead and angle of the jawline, but it's also the mannerisms. They're a little bit off--I'm not surprised that s/he doesn't have friends--there's a social awkwardness there that would make it difficult.

Some years back I saw a documentary about two MtFs who detransitioned, including one who'd married twice and had had full surgery. He said that one of the things he noticed is that his body worked better. It was much easier to "walk like a man" because that's how his body was made to work. He'd detransitioned because it was just such an effort to live as trans, so he hadn't some blinding flash of insight, but once he quit the hormones and such, he just found he wasn't fighting his body all the time.

The push for early transing comes from the idea that it will be easier to pass, but, ultimately, you're still facing a lifetime of fighting your body's natural inclinations. Fighting your body that hard is almost a guaranteed way to continue the feeling of dysphoria if you think about it.

But god forbid you should ever mention wanting to "pass" to a T. It is the ultimate insult. I don't get that because it seems to obviously true. Why else start hormones before puberty? Why else use hormone blockers?

Some of these kids are saying it is because the changes resulting from normal puberty would be so devastating, they would kill themselves.

If that is the case, in to the psychiatric hospital you go, sweetie, because this is NOT the mindset of someone who should be undergoing chemical castration and subsequent surgery. If you cannot even have a rational discussion about what you are doing, you should not be pulling in medical personnel.

And as far as Jazz's not being fully committed to being female? She went into a phase where she behaved like an obnoxious frat boy, farting and burping all the time, doubling over in laughter at the disapproval this got her. She is HIGHLY resistant to therapy. Absolutely refuses to have real therapy be filmed. They got a family friend to provide one of the 2 letters of support she'd need from psychiatric professionals. We don't know who the other was. Neither provided any kind of insight into what the hell is going on here.

And if this show was truly interested in informing and educating, they would allow us to see family therapy. Lord knows, these people are in desperate need of intensive therapy.

r14 see r78's post. I've never agreed with the meme that this "the same thing they said about gays." Gays never displayed the same sort of body dysphoria, gender confusion, desire to lop off healthy body parts, need for outside validation, threats of suicide and a host of other mental issues that present themselves in many trans people. In fact, most many gays managed to grow up to navigate everyday life just fine if only by remaining closeted in their public life but expressing their sexual orientation among other gays and trusted friends. In other words, they were comfortable in this own skin with no need for anyone to affirm them as the opposite sex which they never believed they were.

Poor Jazz is a very disturbing kid who seems like a victim of social contagion and put on the path to sexual reassignment by an over zealous mother long before he could think for himself or really have any clear understanding of transgender or what is actually entailed in full gender reassignment surgery.

I hope he/she finds what they're looking for but she has a very rough road ahead of her. The surgery will not magically fix anything.

by Anonymousreply 89July 4, 2018 11:37 PM

The move toward surgery seems more about keeping a story arc going rather than what was the best long-term option for Jazz. Given that there were all these puberty blockers, why push this before s/he was 18. Why really ever do this before the age of 25 when the brain is fully developed?

One of the people in the Atlantic-article-that-shall-not-be-named had loads of testosterone and a mastectomy in her teens and desisted in her early 20s. She's now stuck with a beard, no boobs and a weird low voice. Just don't see why irreversible medical decisions are being made by troubled teens. No surgeon would ever encourage anorexia in a teenager because she sees a fat self in the mirror.

We have enough issues with actual adults like Chelsea Manning, who blamed her poor judgment, in part, on not dealing with being transgender. However, transitioned Chelsea is still not happy--to the point of being suicidal. Why? Because you don't fix internal problems with external changes. If you weren't coping with life before, you won't be coping with it afterwards. The fucking Cinderella narrative needs to stop.

That said, there are people who seem to be genuinely more happy transitioning--I think Lana Wachowski is, though she's probably a worse film maker--but those people are the exception, not the rule. That's because the kind of dysphoria that can be effectively treated by externals is rare. And a teen girl who suddenly announces she's trans after a few bouts with Tumblr is NOT one of those people.

It’s a good point, r86. Girls on testosterone and progestin have reported feeling extremely horny (usually for sex with other females) because the testosterone basically makes their bodies have typical pubescent male urges. On the other hand, estrogen usually diminishes a natal males’ sex drive because his body is not “wired” to be receptive in the same way that a natal woman’s is, but giving more estrogen to a “butch” female would probably make her not only develop more feminized physical attributes but also may make her experience her sensuality in a more typically feminine, receptive way.

You’d think give a gender-conflicted adolescent a little dose of the right sex-appropriate hormones might help clarify things for them and dissipate the gender confusion within a few months. But that’s never, to my knowledge, an option any of them are urged to try.

Instead, they’re launched into a lifetime of expensive and dangerous cross-sex hormone injections and unnecessary surgeries, which perpetuates all kinds of woes.

I think physically, Jazz reminds me of Nia Vardolas’s character in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I looked it up just now to try to find a good scene to link to and instead I saw that Nia and her husband Ian Gomez just filed for divorce yesterday, after nearly 25 years of marriage! That’s a shame. They said they’ve been separated for a year and their breakup is mutual and amicable, but it’s still sad to see.

One thing i wanted to add: not really sure about the parents' rationale in doing the show. The dad is a savvy money manager to be sure, so maybe he negotiated some great terms with tlc. But the mom had Jazz on Baba walters like 10 years ago and started shopping a reality show around shortly after that. So for the mom it might have been an opportunity for more Munchausen attention. But for the dad, it may have been an opportunity to build a trust fund for Jazz so she won't have to work. Let's face it: am not seeing a successful career for Jazz, unless it is in the entertainment industry or something related. And it's a slippery slope to freak show.

Jazz stopped going to school this last year. Now she does online school at home. There was some discussion in the show of a gap year, so her mother could supervise the dilation schedule. During this same time frame, the older siblings withdrew from the show, although one of the twins is supervising Jazz's social media presence. I just hope someone in that family comes to their senses and prevents the whole family from becoming a wacky tv presence.

Wait, so the kid is supposed to take another year off of life, become even MORE out of step with peers, just to stick a tube in her fake vaj 3x per day? She has no job or outlets, it is the worst idea.

Maybe her social anxiety has something to do with the gay man not accepted thing? Or feeling fraudulent? It is very sad. She was not set free in some sense by presenting as a girl.

How exactly does a mother supervise such a thing? Jazz does not seem like a kid comfortable with bodily functions or likely to do something that he/she is not keen on. Blood and pain? Not likely. Unless the mother watches her stick the dilator in and lay there, 3x per day, I sincerely doubt that will be happening.

Not going off to college when you have a parent who is a lawyer just seems like a huge experience to miss out on. She comes from a family that values education and money. Going to GLAD events should not be some life sentence. The less time she spends around people, the harder it will get.

Jazz should go to one of those very trans-friendly women's colleges--like Mills or Sarah Lawrence--something artsy. Unfortunately, she seems a little vapid for that. There's not a lot else going on except being trans on TV.

Of course, at this point, s/he's been so physically damaged that there's a lot of medical maintenance, which means Jazz will be pushed by mom to stay near home.

I read the paper cited by R96. Holy shit. That was a 33 year old trans woman, who had had the surgery 7 years prior, so presumably had plenty of time to heal and build up scar tissue. She had the traditional method, inverting the penis and adding volume with the scrotal sac. Two hours before presenting to the ER she had sex that tore up her neovagina, resulting in severe pain, masking as a urinary tract infection. Bilateral pain, bleeding, air in the abdominal cavity. Could have become fatal, as the torn neovagina was allowing contents to seep into the peritoneum.

Given that so little has been researched on these procedures, i am pretty sure no one has done any kind of a comparative study, in say animal models, or a meta-analysis of case studies over time. So we don't know what the risks of each technique are. Jazz was one of the first to have this abdominal lining used to build a neovagina. I'll look up the literature on the strength of the peritoneum.....

This is a nightmare!!!! Did her well-educated dad do any research on this stuff before allowing that annoying tool Marci Bowers to play erector set with Jazz's innards?!?!?! Can't even say she'll sue because they were doing all kinds of shit against medical advice, starting with putting a 10 year old on hormone blockers. A nightmare from start to finish.......

Andy got into the whole BDSM scene and then went trans. Wonder if Larry was just kind pulled into it because he was so enmeshed with Andy.

Living with an open wound all your live must be hell, is just calling for infections. Women already have problems because of how close the vagina is to the anus, that's why they have to wipe front to back otherwise feces particles and other bacteria can get into the vagina and cause yeasts or urinary infection. And that's even with the natural protections they have that this 'neo vaginas' obviously don't.

If you want to understand the recent trans mania, watch "Aravani Girls" on Amazon. It is a heartbreaking documentary about young gay teens in India who become ‘ladyboys’.

These children are not trans – they are gay. But, they are so in need of acceptance by their parents that they are willing to amputate their cock and balls – not ‘bottom surgery’ to create a neovag, but just have their junk lopped off. They are hired out as dancers and many of them become sex workers.

They have boyfriends within their Aavani community but they are willing to forego sexual pleasure in order to be accepted back into their families. The sad thing is, more often than not, the family will still shun them.

What is happening here in the States is much more insidious. People are being convinced that it is better to ‘transition’ than to be gay and mass hysteria is confirming these ideas. Add a Munchausen mama and you have Jazz.

Sadly true R172. This "mass hysteria" will disappear like MPD and ritual abuse diagnosis, once popular and medically pioneered theories that ruined lives, sanity and families. Dismantling people for profit and out of medical curiosity. Pathologizing what are natural tendencies.

R174, a lot of this hysteria isn't being driven by parents. That's really clear if you visit 4th Wave now and you'll read parents feeling heavily pushed to have their kids transition--that if they don't, the kids will kill themselves. The emotional blackmail's pretty horrendous. The online trans community also encourages questioning kids to cut off contact with their parents and to secretly obtain things like hormones and binders.

Thing is, becoming a teen-age girl in the U.S. is kind of an awful experience--particularly for girls who don't fit the pretty-pretty princess model and are sexually attracted to other girls. There's long been an issue with body dysmorphia issues like anorexia and bulimia. But this is the first time I can remember the distortion and injury to the body being fucking encouraged.

My kid went to a girl's middle school--out of a class of 60, two girls, age 13, decided they were trans. No, they were both unhappy, confused little lesbians. I wish to hell, there was some better support of that, combined with healthy body acceptance.

The only reason that Kim Petras has made it this far in music is because Petras is trans and has some deep-pocketed allies trying to get that career off the ground. Petras' looks, singing ability and personality are all very average and are not going to sustain a solo career. It would have been better to put Petras in a girl group but maybe they don't want the up-close comparison to real girls. They'll try that with the next trans girl singer.

R179, they also do this with bisexual women and men who are femme/butch/androgynous, and you also have Trans people who do this who insist that bisexual people use the term pansexual or queer, as in their minds (or what they call intelligent minds), if you identify as bisexual you are being transphobic, yet they use the term pansexual completely incorrectly as the term means someone who will have sex with animals and other things that are sick and illegal and that LGB people are not into sexually at all.

You also have universities which now promote this hateful rhetoric and LGB students and our rights get sidetracked for Trans people.

I rememer when it was LGBT which at the time I was OK with, but now they have LGBTQIA which stands for queer, interesx, and the A stands for asexual which makes no sense lumping people who are gay or bisexual in with someone who is Asexual who does not have any sexual attraction at all to anyone of the same or opposite sex.

What I am always surprised by is that even in kids like Jazz and Kim Petras, the male always comes through. The older Jazz gets, the more masculine she looks. Petras also looks like a German man, especially the legs. There is something going on with the Y-chromosome that goes beyond fetal testosterone. There are male anatomical features (waists that are too wide, leg muscles too defined, browbones that are too prominent, noses that look male...) that seem architecturally preserved even in an onslaught of hormone manipulation.

R179 I read a recent article about a film about a very masculine/Stone butch Lesbian, who now Hollywood is trying to rebrand as being a Transman, just because she took a man's name and dressed in men's clothing.

I also remember when nutty Trans activists did this with Joan of Arc claiming that because she dressed up in armor or wore what a man would wear in battle and had short hair that she must be Trans. Despite how those fools know nothing about how armor would offer protection, and having very long hair in battle was dangerous as someone attacking could easily grab hold of it.

They are really pushing the pan label to encompass T. Today the singer in Panic at the Disco came out as pan even though he is married to a woman and has written songs about threesomes with 2 women (as a teen, such a role model). Total queer baiting 101, and surely there is an album not selling or about to be released. When he spoke about what he meant he described bisexuality, but that has really been erased and is considered a slur. I agree with the poster upthread that pan encompasses kids and animals and many things illegal or at least unsavory. But get a generation to adopt it (their IRL orientation be damned) and it may start to gain traction legally. Like gay rights victories were embraced by the incest crowd to use as bootstraps. Sometimes I think back to Anita Bryant and think she must have gotten an advance copy of where this was all headed.

Jazz was a miserable teen and I imagine will continue to be unhappy. Such a cautionary tale.

On Fourth Wave Now parents are terrified of losing custody and any say over what happens to their kids. Laws that permitted abortions without parental consent are being extended to cover things like a double mastectomy for a 15 year old, paid for by the taxpayers. That is dangerous and has a staggering recovery period, 6-8 weeks. These kids, many mentally ill AND on the autism spectrum are mere cannon fodder in the chaos war being waged by the T. Tragic.

I am friends with people who are medical professionals and when I asked them how they feel about all of these kids and teenagers starting to identify as Trans or being labeled as being trans, they said (probably since they want to keep their medical licenses) that the kids and teens are trans, even though there's no way statistically that they are all trans just because they question or imitate the opposite sex.

R217, Do your own research. Matt Shepard was arrested for sexually abusing young boys as a teenager and despite what his parents claim-they were deeply embarrassed about having a gay pedo drug addict son, so they sent him away and gave him a monthly stipend of money so he would stay away from them. Shepard knew his killers as they all would use meth together and had sex together, and he was murdered to eliminate competition as he sold meth, or for money owed for a large quantity of meth, coke, or heroin that he had bought and used. But despite all of this he did not deserve to be murdered.

R226, I remember when same sex marriage became legal in various states, and DADT (don't ask, don't tell) was repealed how Trans people and nutty trans activists instead of being very happy for us bisexual and gay people having the right to marry and openly serve in the military and be out and not discharged or killed for it, were very angry and on various LGB sites and blogs posted lots of biphobic and homophobic comments.

Thinking of it now, it looks like the real reason Jazz dropped out of high school was due to the upcoming surgery.

But the parents probably didn't want to frame it that way so they said the dropping out was all due to Jazz's unhappiness at school. They made all this drama about it but they knew Jazz was going to drop out because of the surgery. Realistically, how could Jazz go to high school comfortably after having that type of surgery and then doing all the aftercare that is required? If Jazz couldn't do the surgery and college then high school would also be out of the question.

That's why the family is really full of it.

Jazz IS that loud, annoying queen with the exaggerated expressions. Not one thing feminine about his manner or mannerisms, or Jenner either, for that matter. Loud and crass and fish lipped. Shudder.

I don't think Jazz is autistic. Think back to when the show first started. Jazz had a whole little group of non-transgender girlfriends. The problem is they all disappeared. Jazz also loved to play soccer.

Jazz has become isolated. Most of the friends are now transgender and many of them are screwed-up and/or adults. They all obsess about their transgender status. Often, online life has replaced real life social interaction for Jazz. So it's not surprising that Jazz has become a little odd.

It's literally crazy how things have progressed in just 12 years.

From linked article: Nine years ago, a Belgian film, Ma Vie en Rose, explored the most common reaction to a young boy’s decision to live as a girl. In other words, the parents panicked. So did the rest of the neighborhood, who shunned and ridiculed the boy’s family until they felt compelled to move away. In real life, meanwhile, another famous case in 2000 ended even worse. When Zachary Lipscomb’s parents attempted to enroll him as a girl named Aurora in an Ohio school at age six, a state child protection agency took the child away.

Some therapists insist that such children should be discouraged from living as the opposite sex because, they have found, the large majority of such children grow out of it. Studies show that many end up as gay adults. But a growing coalition of therapists, scientists, and activists disagree and refer to such children—even those as young as three years old—as transgendered, insisting that the child’s new identification shouldn’t be discouraged.

R233 Jazz has indeed dated boys, one a trans boy and one a cis boy. The trans date was a huge disaster. She froze him out completely. I think they went rollerskating, and he tried and tried to have a conversation. Jazz would have none of it. I felt so sorry for that kid being humiliated by Jazz on TV.

The straight date ----- can't remember if that was a result of "dating in the dark" or not. At any rate she liked him better, but it never really went anywhere, and she started dating Victoria, the lesbian, shortly thereafter. Also, before either of these dates, she dated a kid from her old school who was a really sweet and good looking kid. He also had a crush on Jazz, and you would think she woul dhave been flattered and happy. But she once again pushed him away.

I am thinking Jazz is SO paralyzed by fear that she does not even want to convey they idea that she is a sexual being. Even that much is distasteful to her.

R240, yes indeed she played on girls' soccer teams. The other parents wanted to prohibit that, and Jazz's dad, the lawyer, sued. And Jazz played on the girls' team. Recently, while trying to lose weight, they showed Jazz playing soccer and holy cow, she is GOOD. So I can understand the other parents not wanting jazz to play with their daughters; she is completely aggressive on the soccer field.

Jazz's siblings are really quite nice. Not affected, not conceited. Not spoiled. They do express resentment occasionally that "What Jazz wants, Jazz gets."

What I find interesting is that the Dad's family apparently want nothing to do with the TV show. Not clear at all if this extends to cutting off ties to the family. They are never mentioned, never shown. It is as though he ceases to exist outside the nuclear family.

There is a backlash building steam. Jordan Peterson is vehemently anti-trans, as are several major internet vloggers and, on the right side, David Shapiro. The basic position of this backlash, consistent no matter what the political affiliation, is: "This is all make believe. Do not expect me to go along with insanity just because you wish it. Sensitivity to pronouns is insane. Gender is biologically determined."

Their unity is impressive.

Jazz didn't have any chemistry with the girl and spoke about the whole thing in a very clinical way. Earlier in the show, Jazz was only interested in boys but none were interested in Jazz.

In Jazz's mind, if boys aren't an option then Jazz would rather be with a girl than the least desirable option for Jazz which is a trans boy. The mom was pushing trans boys and Jazz wanted no part of it. Doesn't even really seem to have them as friends either.

R191, there are basic skeletal differences between men and women that aren't going to be changed by hormones--the angle of the jawline, the slope of the forehead are two. The shoulder/hip ratio is another. The pelvic bone is, of course, very different, but there are more subtle things, such as the angle and shape of the femur. You can disguise some differences pretty well in a photograph or film, but in real life, the differences in proportion are pretty noticeable--particular the shoulder/hip ratio.

There are broad shouldered narrow hipped cis women and far too many weak shouldered wide - hipped men. It's true that most trans are clockable on somethings, but it's not usually the shoulder hip thing. Here is Trinity The Tuck Taylor. He's not Trans, just a drag queen. His figure is quite womanly. But he's had a lot of dental work as KG would say.

I don't think too much emphasis should be placed on being able to "pass." There is a much more disturbing sociological problem going on. People can now change genders by simple declaration. I feel sorry for Jazz, obnoxious as she is. She's never going to know sexual fulfillment or intimate happiness. It should be illegal to mess with children's bodies this way. Let it be, let her live as a girl. Don't allow children to make adult decisions.

by Anonymousreply 263July 7, 2018 12:33 PM

This is from the linked article below and I agree with all off it.

Society is being engineered in the worst possible way; to view transgender people, especially transgender children, as being completely normal. This is where Jazz Jennings and her reality show come in. I Am Jazz tries to present the family as a normal, happy one that just happens to have a family member who is a biological boy but identifies as a girl. The show is poorly scripted, badly acted, and often comes off as a preachy public service announcement for transgendered people because that’s precisely what it is. In the first episode Jazz’s grandparents stop by and Jeanette (Jazz’s mother) fills them in on Jazz’s hormone therapy as well as the proper and improper terms to use when referring to transgender people. This comes off as laughable because if Jazz has been transgendered since she was about five which her parents claim then wouldn’t her grandparents already be aware of these things?

The other glaringly obvious plot device is that Jazz is always a victim in some way. Jazz’s struggles are bigger than everyone else because she’s transgendered. In fact, no one else in the show seems to have any problems at all. Everyone, from Jazz’s girlfriends to her siblings and parents makes her the center of the universe in every interaction while praising her to the heavens for being so brave in the face of adversity. The goal appears to be to make Jazz, and all other transgendered people, simultaneously the victim and the brave, noble warrior at the same time. Naturally, liberals and progressives applaud this paradoxical freak show because of their own fondness for diametrically opposing ideas along with an aversion to facts or reality.

This you’re-so-brave-because-you’re-a-victim narrative extends itself to all the transgender kids stories found on the website for the TransKids Purple Rainbow Network, a charity aimed at supporting trans kids which was founded by Jazz and her mother when Jazz was seven years old. Every story is a heartbreaking melodrama of hopelessness and despair. At one point, I expected sad violin music to quietly waft from my speakers. Below is a screenshot of the website. Notice how they play up the suicide angle right from the get go.

It was the stuff of horror movies and things that people did not like to talk about - mental health was not talked about like homosexuality or many things back then. It was absolutely nothing like the cheerleading for transkids. This in on TV on prime-time as a good thing - and for kids. This is being pushed at schools, in kindergarten.

Sadly, preschool, R265. Some parents have lost custody for objecting.

When kids are just allowed to be, most will desist after puberty. Many are gay or lesbian, others are straight. Very few persisit after the hormone influx, thus the push for blockers and the screeching about suicide if they are not used.

Sterilizing young kids is utterly barbaric and cannot be undone. In adults, who desist quickly, and who have gone through puberty, some have been able to go on to become pregnant/impregnate. Other effects, such as facial hair or a low voice in women, even after a short time on T, are likely permanent. The cardio, kidney and MS risks may or may not continue after hormones are stopped.

Hormone therapy in children was not rigorously studied and found to be safe. This is all off label. The surgery Jazz just had has only been performed a small number of times. The rate of suicide goes UP after transitioning. This is Mengele territory. He also experimented on kids and did T experiments. Hmmm.

I think that there was one case in Canada and one in UK where the judge sided with the father in having the boy live and dress as a boy. That makes me a bit uneasy too, so many of us were GNC as kids and this is the legal system enforcing male stereotypes. That said, medical transition should not happen until adulthood.

If the goal is passing, it does not seem to matter as much as you might guess, Jazz is distinctly NOT feminine. Nor does she seem happy, despite being described as happy and confident off the soccer field. Obnoxious and desperately lonely? That I buy.

The true goal is creating as many T as possible, thus desistence is a genuine threat that must literally, be blocked. There was an old thread on the hypno sissy porn vids, wonder where that tech came from? Pull in the kids, pull in the cross dressers and autistic IT guys and convert them to autogyns and you have an army ready to push back on rights and safety of women, gays and children.

This may or may not be off-topic, but it’s about kids and gender. Last night my five year old niece made a clubhouse for girls in one of the bedrooms. Girls only. She came to the grownups, complaining that her brother was trying to come in and it was for girls only. So her dad asked if he’d be allowed in if he put on some lipstick and a dress. And she said no, silly, you’re still a boy. And he asked why not. Because you have short hair. Ah, he said, butyou have short hair, too (it’s a chin-length bob), and you’re a girl. And so on. In the end, she just defended her position by saying “but I know you’re a boy!”

Then I went and made a comment about gender stereotypes and trans, and the topic was changed. But it was interesting to see how clear these things are to neurotypical children.

The whole transwomen athletic thing doesn't make sense to me. First for the obvious reason of taking away scholarships/opportunities for women and girls, but secondly, I know of no older boys or men that even want to compete against women/girls. Through my brother, I know several straight guys who are into sports, some competed at college level, and they don't consider women to be their "competitors." These guys want to win against each other. It has nothing to do with not respecting athletic women, because a few of the guys I know are partnered with women who are also athletic, but they know it's not a fair competition in most cases. The only expectation I know of personally is my brother's best friend from childhood who runs marathons with his wife, and she always has better times than he does, but that simply because she's a far better long distance runner.

R292, men in drag competing against women in sports is like me playing my 9-year old in Scrabble. It’s not a fair fight and it’s a hollow victory. It’s punching down.

I have an athletic daughter. She used to hang out with boys, and they’d all go to an athletic field at lunchtime and throw around a football. The boys did their best to exclude her and it hurt her feelings. I explained that they didn’t want to be beaten by a girl (at that point she was taller and heavier than any sixth grade boy), and they didn’t want to beat a girl. That wasn’t sporting or fair, and would make them look like they couldn’t compete with their own. They’d play frisbee with her, though.

And since puberty hit, she’s become a lot more “feminine”, but she’s still a badass. My late MIL was a Chanel-suit wearing LADY but she said she used to run barefoot in the woods with her brothers, shooting B.B. guns and arm-wrestling. It’s all very interesting, how nature takes its course.

R259: There are very few reliable differences between the male and female skeleton, except in cases of very large men. The pubic bone? no. It is only definitive in identifying a female skeleton if the woman has had children, as the pubic symphysis often breaks during childbirth. The jaw musculature in males is usually way bigger than in females and the sites of attachment can be used to identify male. But honestly, there are not reliable differences.

R291: Jazz has nothing but female friends. Some from several years ago, some from her more recent rainbow crap, but no male friends that I can recall. Interestingly, there was one straight boy from her old school who was definitely interested in her as a girl, and they even went on a date to a butterfly house at the end of the first season.

R303, sorry, but you're wrong. A female femur is angled and has a larger knob on its upper end than a male femur. It's actually easy to tell. The pelvis and its proportion to the rest of the skeleton is another easy tell. Both the angled femur and the knob were compensations for the wider pelvis which human females developed in order to give birth to large-headed babies. There are also differences in the angles of the elbow join--making it easier for women to carry (most likely) their ridiculously helpless young, but harder to shoot arrows without getting scratched.

The forehead angle is noticeable enough that you can use it to tell the difference between a male and female brain in an anatomy lab. The difference in the jaw angle/line is enough that it's one of the ways you can identify an XY female with AIS.

So, I don't know where you got your erroneous information, but I studied paleoanthropology--knowing this stuff is paleoanthro's bread and butter. It's all quite apparent, by the way, when you handle specimans--more so than looking at a picture.

"From linked article: Nine years ago, a Belgian film, Ma Vie en Rose, explored the most common reaction to a young boy’s decision to live as a girl. In other words, the parents panicked."

I think that's still the most common reaction. No doubt, there's more parents who are on the trans train and it certainly gets more positive press. But, really, if you were to actually poll ALL the parents whose kids wanted to live as the opposite sex, I think the overwhelming majority would still be panicked. Some might move from that panicked stage to acceptance, but even them I think the majority would have a negative reaction. Don't let the incredibly vocal minority fool you.

R309! Kudos on finding a silver lining!

R305, 306! Excellent points! I hadn't thought of it, but of course you are right. She has 2 born female friends, one of whom is the lesbian girlfriend, Victoria. (There was a bizarre friendship last season with some girl who was a plant, and it was cringe-worthy having her there. Can't remember her name. A singer from some talent competition show.) All of her other friends are M2F teens. That could just be her seeking understanding from friends with identical outlooks on life. But it is strange I think that she now has virtually no non-trans friends.

When the show started, they went to great efforts to highlight that Jazz was a girl like any other girl in her group at school and they frequently forgot that she is not a biological girl. (I personally find that a stretch; come on, these teen girls are going to completely forget that Jazz has a penis?)

R310, I would acquiesce to your superior knowledge of paleoanthropology and evolving skeletal differences. But I have taught human morphology in medical school, have done research on the genetics of patterning in embryonic development, and I am here to tell you there is no reliable means of determining male from female skeletons. The ball of the femur is NOT reliably larger in females than in males and while it is true that females have a different angle in the tangent of hip to knee, that is not related to bones, that is ligament and musculature. If you handed any anatomist a femur of average size and ask that anatomist (or paleo anthropologist) to determine if that femur belongs to a male or female, they might wager a guess, but definitively identify? No. Bigger brain cases and bigger brains are found in bigger people. You should know that the very misogynistic idea that males brains are reliably larger than female brains has long ago been debunked. But as a consistent, predictive (and note I am talking about the ranges of sizes of these structures which which can span considerable ranges, with overlaps at extremely large females and smaller males) marker? No, that does not work. The slope you identify in the forehead (and the brow line) is very obvious in older hominids but not in modern humans --- certainly not as a predictive feature or diagnostic marker.

I know what you are referring to as general principles, but pathologists and forensic specialists would not be confident making the claims you are making.

by Anonymousreply 313July 8, 2018 4:01 AM

R313, If you really taught morphology at a medical school, you'd know I wasn't talking about the size of the human brain male v. female, but the actual shape. You'd know that there are indications on the bone as to how a ligament attaches. And, yes, of course the angle is related to the bone. We haven't grown less sexual dimorphic by the way, if anything, sexual dimorphism has increased slightly in our species, though it's not extreme.

And, yes, a paleanthropologist (it's one word, by the way) could positively identify (as much as one does) a female v. a male skeleton. Being able to do so is something on which students are tested. (I still remember the endless labs on fossilized molars.) It's just not that hard. I'm not sure why you're pretending otherwise. I mean I have an MD friend who knows less about the evolution of teeth than I do, but if you're teaching morphology, I'd have thought you'd know that sexual dimorphism goes far beyond allometric differences.

R323, I don't know what that poster was--but certainly not someone who was an expert on human anatomy. I don't even know why you'd dig yourself into a hole on this one. It's not news that women give birth--shouldn't be a surprise that the skeleton's adapted to do this.

R330, yeah, combining bipedal locomation and large-headed babies results in an evolutionary compromise. Men are better designed for walking than women, but nature doesn't care as long as the women manage to carry and squeeze out the rugrats. And then haul them around a while. The other interesting thing about humans compared to other species is how helpless their infants are and for how long. The newborn of other mammals tend to be (very roughly) at the development stage of an 18-month-old human--able to walk pretty quickly.

But anyway, Jazz's skeleton will be odd--male in appearance, but early fused bones. The faux-vagina won't fool anyone since actual vaginas are tube-shaped muscles attached to other organs. Female reproductive systems are complicated. I'm sure someone is working on it, but making an MtF pregnant is way more complex than transplanting a uterus (which is complicated and pointless enough.)

This has really taken off-- I think because it's a way for parents to control (and even curtail) their child's sexuality and Independence. You know how afraid parents are of their kids' sexuality--it's the subconscious basis for many horror movies, like The Exorcist and Halloween--often with good reason. The child often goes off into his own world, and sometimes becomes very wild- no matter how much of a "friend" the parent tries to be. This way, the parent is in charge every step of the way and hormones are diluted, sex organs dismembered. And sexuality becomes an entirely cosmetic thing, not a drive.

I do know of a younger girl who's socially transitioning. She falls into the baby dyke category--very smart, always a tom-boy--so now she's going around with a boy's name. Hope hormones are avoided so she has a chance at figuring out who/what she is.

It is good if they are getting "reversals," but there is something about that term that doesn't quite communicate what has happened or will happen. A body is not a reversible raincoat.

Same with"top surgery." All the language around T is so twisted.

[quote]We simply can't criticize it without reigniting criticism of gays as mentally ill, unnatural, etc. Only straight parents and health professionals will curtail this trend.

That's a ridiculous parallel, gays don't chop their nuts off.

R353, WE know it is not the same, but you can bet if the idiots ever admit to the mistake about T being anything but insanity or a fetish, than they will say, duh, maybe homosexuality is mental illness, too. In their minds, they are linked together. And the letters LGBT do not help, either.

"penile disassembly"

This thread makes me feel more normal and sane than anything in all my years of therapy. I also must say that when the NYT runs an article on a t-female who calls himself a "woman," the comments are at least 80% women (maybe of a certain age) who resent their right to use the word "woman."

lol, R358!

Jazz is very immature for a 17-year old. Can't imagine how Jazz is dealing with the aftermath of the surgery.

Also, I really hope the surgery wasn't filmed.

From the article at r349

[quote] 'A transgender woman has reached womanhood by the arduous path of achievement rather than by accident of nature. Those who climb Mount Everest have a greater claim to winning that peak than someone accidentally dropped there by helicopter.’

Yeah, real women have it so easy in this society... Also how can this freak say he has 'a greater claim' to womanhood (whatever that's supposed to mean) he doesn't know what it is growing up as a girl, the expectations, the fears, the 'rules of behavior', the period, pregnancy, give birth,etc. No matter how many surgeries he goes through he'd never get the full experience of being a real women.

[quote] Sam said she threw herself into trying to be ultra-feminine when she transitioned the first time. She said: 'In the end I felt confined by a different set of expectations'

You don't say...

Infuriating, R361.

It reeks of sexual imperialism--kind of the way I kept hearing about Edmund Hillary, but not Tenzing Norgay climbing Everest when I was a kid. Native women don't count.

What kind of a name is Jazz?

by Anonymousreply 364July 11, 2018 2:52 AM

They're trying to erase LGB history and now they want to claim what? that they're 'better' women too? I'm starting to think that's true what some people here say, at the end of the day they're just men against women, invading women spaces, some of them even being violent against them.

They never wanted to be just a woman, they feel they're superior than them.
