EP81 It's Okay to be a Man - with NJada
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- NJada is a detransitioned man who began social transition in 2013 at the age of 19, and HRT the following year. He ultimately detransitioned in 2015. Since then he has been gradually working through stages of self-acceptance. After taking a break from the whole topic of gender for a time, he began to get in touch with other detransitioners in late 2018. In 2022 he began to write and speak publicly about his experience on Twitter and Substack. He hopes to share what he's learned about the draw to identify as a woman and how he has come to accept and even love being a man.
My hope is that more and more people like NJada come forward to tell their story. He represents a group of males who are not yet part of the wider discussion. They are needed both as first voice sharing their experience and to show that there is a legitimate category of transitioners who fit a pattern outside of the ones dominant in current discourse. Thank you so much, NJada.
NJada, you may never read this but thank you, thank you, for sharing. As a culture we have a long way to go on breaking stereotypes. You have helped me so much in understanding what I believe is going on with my 14 yr old son. I consulted gender care professions and they just acted like I was transphobic (I'm a bleeding heart liberal so I was shocked). I felt like screaming or crying as I knew there was something else going on with my son and the gender care told me to put my son on puberty blockers after our first session!! My heart breaks for anyone with these struggles especially when they feel so alone. But I implore (beg) gender care activists to realize the complexity of our psyches and rethink their aggressive and often detrimental approach. My son is still struggling with his identity, but he has said that he knows he's not a girl and never will be and that that would probably just stress him out more. We are working on his wholeness and feeling it's okay to feel feminine and emotional. I am so grateful for your bravery in sharing your story.
congratulations on a very honest interview
So the way I understood his story, is that his feelings of gender dysphoria came about from natural puberty-related confusion around his awakening sexuality. It's truly a pity that such a natural confusion got misinterpreted as wanting /feeling the need to be/ the opposite gender, and going on hormones in such a young and still formative age. Thank God he didn't further with that and that his body was able to bounce back from the hormonal intervention.
You say these things, but I doubt you would be fine with people who finally embrace their body while accepting their sexual orientation that is not in line with your religion.
@@khanhminhnguyen7274 Inversion theory was embraced by radical Catholics, notably Radclyffe Hall, almost a century ago. Unless you know Joane personally, I don't think you can assume her perspective based on religion alone.
@@khanhminhnguyen7274 Say that to all of the people trying to permanently sterilize the homosexuals because in their minds everybody is trans.
yes, natural confusion of puberty
@@liberality Are you a Christian too ?
RIP Nex Benedict.
Very nice.
NJada, if you're reading this, as a Catholic, I suggest you look up the theology of the body (it was developed by St John Paul II). You might get a lot of deeper insight and perhaps even aid in inner healing.
Yeah... I'm not sure one of the most infamously misanthropic and sexually repressive theologies to ever exist is going to be exactly palliative in his case. The practice of self castration within the context of Christian devotion is a constant and recurrent element of Christian history from the very earliest days before the Nicene council to the very latest developments within the infinite sectarianism of Protestantism... suffice it to say, the New Testament takes a rather conspicuously Aristotelian view of sex, which is to say that it holds sex in contempt of virtue and faith.
Oh I've just looked at your channel profile and saw you have the Our Lady of Częstochowa (Black Madonna) 😍. I'm Polish so it's close to my heart!
As for the TOB what I especially love about it, and also about the philosophy of JPII in general, is the prevailing theme of the dignity of human body and of the whole human person.
@joane24 whoops realized I was using my old personal YT account
Like I said TOB influences much of my own thinking today whether directly or indirectly. I agree I really appreciate his insight about self-gift as the foundation of creation. How he talks about our lives as God making a gift of himself to us, and we're made in such a way that we can make our whole selves a gift to others, expressed through the body.
I’m a transsexual and still experience gender dysphoria at an adult age
He is AGP. typical AGP story. that should have been made clear in the video. because as i read the comments, many people still don't get it
Porn is so fucked up
