Yarden Silveira, a young detransitioner believed to have taken his own life, had every vulnerability stacked against him. Here, I examine those vulnerabilities.
This poor fucking kid. A whole life ruined and destroyed by these Mengelian fucks. It’s the banality of evil all over again. Because some boxes on some forms were ticked a young man was cut up by “doctor” after “doctor”.
I can’t read any more about this subject for a while, I get so angry.
Thank you for sharing this important story. And thanks for discussing the link to autism.
"Today, mild autism is increasingly prevalent among those who self-identify as transgender. Some gender clinics report that up to 35% of patients exhibit moderate to severe autistic traits, and even one clinic has found that nearly half had formal autism diagnoses."
And:
"Black-and-white thinking—also known as rigid thinking—is especially common in adolescents, autistic individuals, and those with certain mental health conditions. It can lead some to believe that all of their distress stems from being transgender, and that medical transition will resolve it."
My daughter, who is trans-identified and fully medically transitioned, admitted to being autistic although it was never officially diagnosed in childhood.
We are not caring for kids and vulnerable young adults. Lack of comprehensive care and endorsement of "affirmation only" is harming so many young people and the ripple effect from that lack of real care is unmeasurable, but we see it everywhere now.
This article left me in tears, but it was so informative. I could feel Yarden’s hopelessness after being treated like a medical experiment and then discarded by his doctors who had the nerve to deem him a threat and secure multiple protective orders against him. It was a perfect evil storm of the medical and legal communities coming together to destroy an innocent young person already mutilated and ravaged by the doctors’ lies, false promises, and irresponsible surgeries. And now I finally understand why so many so-called “transgender” women decide not to give up their original equipment. Talk about living with cognitive dissonance.
Children (most of whom would grow up to be gay) can no more "consent" to have their healthy breasts and genitalia removed or take puberty blockers than they can "consent" to have sex with an adult. Similarly, parents and doctors can no more approve such permanent mutilation simply because a minor child desires it than they can approve their participation in pedophilia.
Ultimately society will see the truth and ban the practice as we have banned female genital mutilation. Do people support that practice if the parents consent? I truly hope not. It is monstrous to believe otherwise and those who do will ultimately be held to account for their actions. The obscene (now happily fired) bureaucrat Richard Levine among those in the dock.
So sad. I seem to have read about several of these tragedies recently.

I knew this person personally. They were not well and was a chronic liar. Delusional. They weren't related to Stalin. They never became a member of the Communist Party, they tried, but was rejected. They didn't have native ancestry. Their problem has nothing to do with being trans or gay.
An excellent article Christina, it clearly lays out the common pathway to teens identifying as trans and the impact of their cognitive development. I’m so sorry that Yarden couldn’t get the help he needed. My thoughts are with his family. Rip Yarden. I will be sharing your article.
Yarden said he is Stalin’s “first cousin by the fourth generation,” which is a very distant relation, but knowing what we know about Yarden, he took this thing he thought made him special and put it front and center of his identity. Here is a press release he had written about it. https://web.archive.org/web/20161006133853/http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/3059972
It’s hard to know what is real and what is fantasy. He wrote this BuzzFeed article about a speech he allegedly gave at the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. https://archive.fo/qABGw
The speech in the second link is a real speech, but Yarden altered it and inserted themself into it. Yarden was trying to create fake sources in order to make claims appear legitimate. This was one of many such obsessions.
They pretended to be descended from Hawaiian royalty and Native American. I've had so many conversations with Yarden from as far back as 2013, it was nothing but frustration trying to get the most simple truths from them.

Excellent, Christina.
With succinct evidence, you demonstrate why and how trans identities are facilitated.
Exulansic covered the final years of Yarden’s life. She reads from his published works here:

This was excellent. Christina, perhaps you could write a novel based on these themes, to spark curiosity in a wider audience.

Yes, Dave, and in NYC children can "consent" to these MUTILATION procedures before they are legally allowed to consent to sex.
I am fighting the "transmafia" here in NYC and getting mainstream media attention.
Below is just one of the Links and has the entirety of one of my speeches:

Unreal. Thank you for this, Christina. It is not a dissimilar philosophy from pushing "the spirit of MAID" for "mature minors".

The human origin story…..

Devastating story.
A question: Did Yarden really go to Russia, and was he actually related to Stalin? He made those claims in a post, but you don't confirm or deny them.
Yarden said he is Stalin’s “first cousin by the fourth generation,” which is a very distant relation, but knowing what we know about Yarden, he took this thing he thought made him special and put it front and center of his identity. Here is a press release he had written about it. https://web.archive.org/web/20161006133853/http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/3059972
It’s hard to know what is real and what is fantasy. He wrote this BuzzFeed article about a speech he allegedly gave at the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. https://archive.fo/qABGw
There’s a photo he used on his book cover that appears to be him (as a trans woman) hugging Stalin at the Yalta statue in Crimea. https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-History-Emily-Stalin/dp/1329829662
It's also baffling that anyone, most especially a trans individual, would look to Stalin and Stalinism as salvific in the 21st century.
The speech in the second link is a real speech, but Yarden altered it and inserted themself into it. Yarden was trying to create fake sources in order to make claims appear legitimate. This was one of many such obsessions.

That's very strange and rather hard to believe.
