This video, which isn’t exactly a detransition video, is a 24yo FTM talking about the trauma of going through
phalloplasty, and experiencing menopausal symptoms as a very young person, in an interview with two younger FTM
YouTube personalities. The three talk briefly about their concern over influence on their audiences.

I don’t know how any full grown person can watch a video like this and not think these young people needed a pause.

All,
In an earlier email, I talked about how treatment being unavailable because of law would serve as a deterrent, using the example of how kids aren't pestering their parents to drink
because they know the law says they can't until age 21. This excerpt reinforces this.
Page 58: "It is not rare for preoperative transsexuals to abandon their quest for reassignment; it is not well-established that such cases are more likely to involve secondary transsexuals,
but this is what we would predict. Shore (1984) reports the case of a young man who was positive he wanted sexual reassignment, was favorably evaluated for surgery, and was on his
way to the hospital when he learned the hospital had changed their policy and now prohibited sex reassignment surgery. This man, soon thereafter, changed his entire life-style and
reportedly gave up his sex-reassignment plans."
Speaking from experience, this is very impulsive stuff in many cases, and the lowering of barriers in today's environment is creating a far more dangerous landscape. Remember, I got
hormones during my first visit to a mental health provider.

So, for one we are shifting the fight from inside the home with the parents to the state, and two, we are putting up a roadblock to the impulsiveness that's inherently characteristic with a lot
of the co-morbid mental health issues these children have.
