More and more public trans figures have decided to speak out and tell their story about the terror they experienced during their sex change process. On this occasion it was Milo -one of the participants of the documentary Transformation produced in 2016 by MTV- who published a video where she defined her transition as "a big mistake":
It turned out to be a big mistake. My legal name is Milo. My legal sex is male. That was changed when I was 15 or 16 years old; legally it changed me, they even changed my birth certificate, my Social Security, everything. Everything changed to 'Milo' and 'male'.
Milo released footage on YouTube (though it is not now available on the platform) where she recounted her experience of the "bitter regret of a transition that left her scarred, hairy and most likely infertile," according to the DailyMail.
I keep thinking about how, if I ever want to be perceived by society as a woman, I now have to do vocal training and need lasers to get rid of facial hair. But I'm so tired.
Transformation was a documentary made by MTV where a group of six teenagers -without resources- underwent gender reassignment treatments sponsored by the network. Milo has since become an icon for the entire LGBT community.
"I regret the medical transition to male."
The woman stated that she cannot even watch the documentary, she claimed to feel "ashamed" and "miserable." In addition, she assured that she completely regretted having made "the medical transition to a man":
This is something I hoped I would never say, but I think I regret the medical-to-man transition. I think I completely regret everything I've done; I've been miserable.
Milo also recounted the serious health problems she suffered after taking testosterone for more than seven years. The woman also had a hysterectomy and double mastectomy, which led to further medical complications:
I feel that I have suppressed a lot of traumas. I think I was wrong. I think I was taken into treatment before I explored all possible avenues of my feelings. I just didn't care about my reproductive organs. I had these thoughts of, well, if I'm a man, then I don't need this kind of .... I don't need these organs.
Milo ended her gender change process and stopped taking hormones after living as a man for several years. Her case reflects the consequences of performing sex change procedures on children or minors. Gender dysphoria disorder has increased 122% in just four years.
