Ok, so... He didn't try to castrate himself, he just thought about it and then realized it would be an autistic thing to do. And that's why we should hear his sob story and be very sad and cry and donate $1,000 because he's trans. The end.
"This is why trans kids need affirming care; because otherwise we think up grim, scary solutions to our problems." Yeah, children and mentally ill people tend to do that a lot. And it's not like this generation's equivalent of an icepick lobotomy (carving a hole into your taint) is any less grim or scary, right?
I don’t know if I believe it but there is some chance this is true. So, he’s saying that children with thoughts of self-harm should be encouraged for those thoughts, just that they should do it gradually and in a “safer” method? If you’re having morbid thoughts like that at 11, if I didn’t know any better I’d think you were destined to become a serial killer. What other type of child daydreams of casual mutilation?
On that unrelated note if this is true, I feel bad for him. He needed serious therapy. Because thoughts like that at that age are indicative of something seriously wrong deep down.
This literally does nothing to dissuade me that trans shit is batshit mental illness that should not be encouraged in kids or adults. Idk why he somehow thinks this arguement means we should let kids legally castrate themselves because 'they'll totes do it themselves if we don't affirm their delusions'. Doesn't this just prove they need a therapist?

Better a young troon try to rot his own dick off than millions of kids be convinced starting from age 3 that they are expected to question their own sex and choose their own gender, which, since children are suggestible and malleable will cause a good percentage of them a great deal of psychological distress that they would not have endured otherwise.
The only difference is one is done in a barn, the other an operating room. I guess that cuts down your chance of sepsis but considering what going on below deck in the Jazz Jennings household right now, most kids won’t even be spared that.
This Caitlin dude doesn’t appear to be mentally ill, not in any profound way. He’s just another cluster b narc who thinks lying will get him what he wants. He’s no different than the abusive spouse who threatens to kill themself if you leave, or the pedo freak who cries and tells a kid “but if you love me you’ll do this”. Emotional manipulation from a stunted, selfish person whose only true consideration is themself.
Crazy Person: I have thought about castrating myself since I was a child, I knew that my dick and balls are evil and would corrupt me so I have to do what I have to do.
Psychiatrist: *scribbles on pad about his patient’s delusions and possible schizophrenia* Hm, yes, the desire to self harm to such a degree like that must have been difficult for you.
Crazy Person: That when I realized I was trans, the evil in my balls was just my many paraphilias dominating my life and castrating myself will stop that.
Psychiatrist: *crosses out everything* You are a stunning and brave woman. Here is your note to get your cock and balls chopped off. You in no way sound like a budding serial killer.
Holy fuck. This makes me so fucking moti. This kid is going to grow up and realize they totally fucked their life up and join the 41% guaranteed. Top hats incoming but ... I am honestly speechless. Fuck this doctor. Do you remember being 14? I do; 14-year-olds are fucking idiots, they don't know who they are or what the consequences of their actions are like, especially something as physically traumatic as getting their breasts removed! This is insane!
