De-transitioned individual shares her story: 'I kind of feel a little bit mutilated and like an experiment gone wrong'

Jasmine, who previously underwent life-altering gender transition measures, still suffers lingering consequences.

According to the Telegraph, she considers the pursuit of gender transition to be a "mistake" but adds that "because I was a child, I also think that part of the onus is on the various professionals that treated me."

At the age of only 15, she was referred by a transgender charity to the Gender identity Development Service clinic for kids and young people at London's Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, according to the outlet. At age 17, GIDS patients were shifted to adult services where they could get gender-reassignment surgery, the outlet noted. Jasmine said during an appointment at the adult clinic she was referred to be prescribed cross-sex hormones and added to a waiting list for breast removal.

Jasmine, who has shared her story as part of a documentary, according to the outlet, said that she took testosterone for more than one year, causing "irreversible" bodily changes — she needs to shave her face daily and her voice is "significantly lower than it was before."

"I don’t really know what it’s like to have the body of an adult," she said, according to the Telegraph. "I don't really know how it’s affected my fertility or my internal health."

Jasmine noted that sometimes she is envious of other women.

"I kind of feel a little bit mutilated and like an experiment gone wrong walking through society sometimes. I feel, like, sometimes jealous of other people, women, who are biologically female. That they still have their natural voice, their natural characteristics. And I don't anymore," she said.

She noted that she had learned about the concept of transitioning via social media. "I watched videos of people transitioning online documenting the voice changing as they go on hormones or vlogging their surgeries, for example. And they look so happy. And I wanted it so badly," she said, according to the outlet.
