Trans Get Twitter-Banned For Trying To Save Troubled Youth

Liberals are getting ridiculous with their bans and canceling. There is no such thing as freedom of speech for conservatives on popular social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. So when post-op transman Scott Newgent started explaining the horrors of sex-change surgeries and how hormonal therapies have terrible side effects, Twitter banned Newgent’s account. I guess libs don’t want confused people to hear a dissenting opinion that could make them rethink their position.

Newgent’s story:

“During my own transition, I had seven surgeries. I also had a massive pulmonary embolism, a helicopter life-flight ride, an emergency ambulance ride, a stress-induced heart attack, sepsis, a 17-month recurring infection due to using the wrong skin during a (failed) phalloplasty, 16 rounds of antibiotics, three weeks of daily IV antibiotics, the loss of all my hair, (only partially successful) arm reconstructive surgery, permanent lung and heart damage, a cut bladder, insomnia-induced hallucinations—oh and frequent loss of consciousness due to pain from the hair on the inside of my urethra. All this led to a form of PTSD that made me a prisoner in my apartment for a year. Between me and my insurance company, medical expenses exceeded $900,000.

During these 17 months of agony, I couldn’t get a urologist to help me. They didn’t feel comfortable taking me on as a patient—since the phalloplasty, like much of the transition process, is experimental. “Could you go back to the original surgeon?” they suggested.

Several lawyers suggested I had a slam-dunk medical malpractice case—until they realized that trans health doesn’t really have a justiciable baseline. As a result, treatment often is subpar, as I have experienced first-hand.
