About Rob Doyle. This is the ritual

Rob was very addictive and dark. Somehow i felt I have to read it out loud. first time i read an entire book out loud.

I was having some muscle pain and thought a bath would be a good idea. I had this bath salt for sore muscles. When i put it in the water i saw it was red. A bit weird laying in a red water. But i did. For 3 hours. And finished the book. Exhausted from reading out loud for so long. The acoustics was great. I never heard myself read. Never liked my voice. I did a bit now. thirsty, surrounded with all this water.

I always tried avoiding “scary “ stories. Thought if i don’t know, then they don’t exist. Now it’s like sports to me. I workout and become stronger. Or more real i guess. I love to read edgy stories nowadays, so that they strangle me a bit . they make me uncomfortable. They take me to reality.

Rob is a lot like Huelbeque. They must be besties. He was a training for Huellbeque in fact.

Don’t know why, but i had to share this. And i could only share it with you. Guess you can use this as a tip on reading “scary” stories. Laying in hot tub in red muscle relaxing bath-salt.

Love you

bisous

Merci

When The Color 8 ask u on stage

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

Andrew Doyle: For those who don't know your experience, it'd be quite good if you could just briefly explain to us what happened to yourself.

Ritchie Herron: Sure. I transitioned as an adult at the age of 26 and at the gender clinic. I think my first appointment was January 2015 after a 15 month wait and the first question I got asked by the psychiatrist was, do I want surgery. To which I responded, no, I think I wanted some therapy.

So, funnily enough, they gave me therapy at the gender clinic. Now, I say therapy - it's gender affirmation therapy. So, any doubt I had was managed, and I was introduced to concepts like internalized transphobia, cis-sexism, and any sort of doubt that I had I had to bring to the table.

But once I had that initial diagnosis of transsexualism, I was essentially told that everything is all related to trans. There's no possible that it's related to anything else. I brought up the concept of my obsessive thoughts, I've diagnosed with OCD since before I entered the clinicm the possibility of autism, and I was told at the very beginning that, no, you can be trans and have OCD.

But when I actually had the surgery in 2018, after rejecting it several times, I told them immediately I regretted it and I was told it was because of the OCD.

So, it felt like I was in this impossible scenario with the gender clinic that I was the one who was doing the questioning, quite rightly, because as Bob said, it is patient-led and so it should remain like that, but if I'm presenting a doubt then then I think that should be heard probably.

And also, we need to really talk about the pathway to surgery. So, you don't get any information at the gender clinic about surgery. They don't give you any videos, they don't give you any sort of interactions with others who have got it. For instance, i heard about another clinic that, in their pre surgery group, they introduced people who had had surgery, and the referral list for surgery dropped dramatically, when people realised what it's like living like this, and it is very, very difficult. You only hear the positives.

Doyle: Could you maybe tell us some of your experiences of having surgery, and I know that you've said that you regret the surgery that you've had. Could you maybe tell us a bit about that?

Herron: Sure, so I had what's called a penile inversion with scrotal graft, which sounds a lot more horrific than bottom surgery, or GRS or SRS, because everything gets fluffed up with this language, which is a big part of the problem.

But essentially, what that means is my testicles were removed and my penis was inverted, muscles were torn away, and I've now got a cavity in my crotch that is called a neo-vagina. I knew it was irreversible at the time, but I was -- I had a lot of red flags, shall we say, which is one of the reasons why I'm bringing them to task.

And I think when you sit outside and you're thinking, well, why did you do it in the end, which is a justified question, but when you've got somebody who's very vulnerable, as Bob was saying, where you've got this idea that this will, sort of, make things better, and quite frankly, I was a little bit delusional as well with what it was going to do, because I wasn't given the information to make that real informed choice. I was just told that if you don't get it now, you might not be able to get it in a few years anyway, because the wide rumours about the services closing, wide rumours about surgeons retiring, and we keep getting told that they were the best surgeon ever.

Ritchie was in his 20s. There's a lot of talk about protecting kids, but adults need to be protected from this model too.

It's a standard trope of genderists to turn around and say to detransitioners like Ritchie, well, he has only himself to blame, he knew what he was getting himself in to, and bleat "informed consent" as a magical shield of protection. None of them can actually tell you what "informed consent" actually means, or how what these people experienced actually qualifies as "informed consent" -- mostly because they won't listen to them in the first place.

However, every apologetic they offer is always accidentally an argument against these practices.

i love useless special interests! for example i realized recently that voice actors/voice acting is one of my lifelong special interests and i LOVE when i hear a narration in an ad that sounds like just a generic Narrator Voice but i immediately know (or at least have a suspicion of) who it is. the key bank ad on hulu came on and i almost immediately recognized the narrator as katey sagal (tbf im obsessed with futurama but i actually didn't clock her until a specific inflection change halfway into the ad and i suddenly heard leela and peggy bundy talking at me). recently there was an apple watch ad that had ty burrell. and another one, i don't remember what the ad was for (possibly metro pcs?), that i'm 99% sure was retta. my ears prick up like a dog when i recognize a voice. i will likely never have any actual productive use for this knowledge other than creeping out my friends but i like having it anyway
