I’m just going to warn you upfront that there is some very disturbing content coming your way here, so if you tend to become queasy you might want to give this a pass. The story that’s been going viral on social media this week involves Jazz Jennings, the transgender star of the reality TV series “I am Jazz.” He was pushed into “transitioning” to be a girl by his mother at the age of five or six and went through all of the steps associated with that process as a child. Cross-dressing led to hormones. He was put on puberty blockers for most of his life, leading to full genital mutilation surgery before he was even an adult. And now, in a video clip where he’s talking to his mother, he tearfully confesses, “I don’t feel like me ever.” (PJ Media)

If there’s a perfect test case for “transitioning” young children, it must be Jazz Jennings.

Born Jared Jennings in 2000, Jennings gained fame at a young age, barely 6, when he publicly identified as trans and received all the positive reinforcement from his mother and even celebrities like Oprah that any child could ever crave…

Jared chose the female name Jazz after Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin, his favorite Disney princess. But now he says on his current TV show, I Am Jazz, “All I want is to be happy and feel like me, and I don’t feel like me, ever.”

This video clip of Jazz has made it out into the wild and it’s hard to watch. The is someone who clearly seems to be melting down.

The Spectator offers a brief, sanitized version of just some of the tribulations that Jennings has endured for more than fifteen years.

Following the initial surgeries, Jennings gained over 100 pounds through binge eating and experienced a range of mental health disorders. Jennings’ mother, Jeanette, deflected theories that those difficulties were caused by the penile inversion vaginoplasty and argued that Jazz had long experienced mental health issues.

By way of full disclosure, I have never watched this television show, though I was aware of it and I’ve seen some commercials promoting it. I recall initially being annoyed that Jennings had chosen the name “Jazz” because there are so few of us around. I’ve run across two girls in southern California using the name, though I believe those are short for “Jasmine.” Aside from them, there just seemed to be me and the trans television star. (I only recently learned that there is another Jazz Shaw who is a spokesperson for Cal Fire.)

With that said, what was done to this young man as a child should have been illegal and his mother should have been locked up. I’m not going to go into the full depths of the specific medical procedures and the horror show that followed. But if you have the stomach for it, Megan Fox delivers the truly disturbing specifics. You’ve been warned in advance if you choose to click on that link. I’m going to have nightmares after reading it.

It’s still not entirely clear if Jazz Jennings has reached the stage of full regret or if this was a temporary phase. But it won’t matter either way. It’s too late now. The physical damage done to Jennings as a child can never be reversed. He has no sex drive because of all the hormones he was given. He has never experienced an orgasm. He will never father children nor will he bear children. (Because he’s still a male.)

Meanwhile, his mother has become famous and wealthy because of the reality TV show she launched. The abuse of her child was displayed for all the world to see. And she was held up as some sort of “hero” in the trans community for normalizing what was happening. If you know of any young people in your orbit who are experiencing gender confusion and talking about following this path, please print out that article from Megan Fox that I linked above and give it to them. I already knew that these experiments could produce very bad results for people, but until now I had no idea it could be this bad. And it needs to stop.
