UK Teen Girl Wanted to be Male; Got Breasts Removed, Took Testosterone. Now 23, She Says Doctors Should Have ‘Challenged’ Her Decision — and is Suing.

Keira Bell of the United Kingdom told BBC News she was a tomboy as a child — and the sense she needed to t***sition to a male occurred gradually as she read about it online.

Bell soon sought the assistance of medicine at age 16, went to a clinic, and after three appointments lasting an hour each she was prescribed puberty blockers, the outlet said.

A year later Bell told the BBC she was prescribed the male hormone testosterone, which developed male characteristics like facial hair and a deep voice — and three years ago, she got her breasts removed.

“Initially I felt very relieved and happy about things,” Bell told the outlet. “But I think as the years go on you start to feel less and less enthusiastic or even happy about things.”

In the end, she decided to stop taking cross-sex hormones last year. Now at 23, Bell noted to the BBC that she accepts her sex as a female — but she’s also angry about what happened to her.

“I was allowed to run with this idea that I had, almost like a fantasy, as a teenager,” Bell told the outlet, adding that “it has affected me in the long run as an adult. I’m very young. I’ve only just stepped into adulthood, and I have to deal with this kind of burden or radical difference — in comparison to others at least.”

More than that, she told the BBC that others should have pushed back against her decision.

“I should have been challenged on the proposals or the claims that I was making for myself,” Bell told the outlet. “And I think that would have made a big difference as well. If I was just challenged on the things I was saying.”

Now Bell is taking legal action against the National Health Service g****r clinic, and a judge cleared the way for a full hearing of the case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, the BBC said.

Lawyers will argue that children cannot give informed consent to treatment delaying puberty or helping them to t***sition, the outlet added.

The clinic based in Hampstead, northwest London — which runs the UK’s only g****r-identity development service — told the BBC it welcomed an examination of the evidence. But former clinic staff at the clinic have said teens who want to change their g****rs are given puberty blockers without adequate assessment or psychological work, the outlet added.

Bell herself admitted to the BBC that when she went to clinic years ago, she would say “it was saving me from suicidal ideation and depression in general and at the time I felt it relieved all those mental health issues I was feeling, alongside g****r dysphoria.”

In addition, Bell told the outlet that if she had felt more accepted by society as a teen, she might not have wanted to change her g****r — though she added she wouldn’t have wanted to listen to challengers of her t*********r desires.

“I feel I could say anything to my 16-year-old self, and I might not necessarily listen at that time,” Bell added to the BBC. “And that’s the point of this case, when you are that young you don’t really want to listen. So I think it’s up to these institutions, like the Tavistock, to step in and make children reconsider what they are saying, because it is a life-altering path.”

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

Actually, this is a very common occurence more often than not within a few years the person realizes what a mistake he or she has made. Go to Walt Heyer's "S*x C****e Regret site for "the rest of the story"

Yes: I have read the same thing. Also, an inordinately high suicide rate.

Weasel Loc: In the Great State Of Indiana!!

Exactly Right. But you just can't tell them anything. Believe me I've tried.

Where are the parents during all this? Between this and a******n I blame the Democrats and the main stream media for doing Satan’s work.

American Vet

Too often the parents encourage this.

You cannot change the g****r you are born with. Your outward appearance can be changed to look very similar to the other g****r but the DNA remains the one you are born with. G****r change is an attempted surgical solution to a mental problem

Some places have laws you can't even try to talk the person out of it, it is against the law to. I figure they get what they want , deal with it. No sympathy!

Carol Kelly

She gave it a lot of thought, she asked for it and she must make the best of it. No one is at fault here except this 23 year old, who may change her mind again in a few years.

Yes, in California, for instance, you cannot even attempt to talk a 6 year old out of believing they are not the sex their DNA says they are. To do so is a crime and your child will be taken from you and put either in foster care, or with a g****r confused couple or at least two people of the same sex, those being the only people whocan lovingly care for your child.

Carol Kelly

Me, too.

LogicallyRight Loc: Chicago

Here is the unfortunate case of a bewildered young girl, affected by her own tomboy life style and the left pushing t***sition as normal and pushing even extremely early stages if intervention to affect permanent changes. They start with young children barely out of the crib and diapers and pushing the other sex at them and encouraging that activity. We just discussed wacko f*gs in d**g reading to very young children in libraries. Sick. Could anyone ever expect anything different then what happened to this young lady. She needs to stick it to the enablers and disable them permanently.

There are only two sexes, xx and xy. Excluding some rare accidents of nature like xxy and xyy and they need to find their own way without outside interference and encouragement.

This unfortunate young lady still has a chance to make herself almost whole. Breast implants and stopping testosterone and some limited, temporary increase in female hormones. Wish her luck.

Carol Kelly

Amen.
