In the aftermath, struggling with PTSD and substance abuse, he turned to the NHS for help. Instead of exploring his trauma, he was fast-tracked through a system that affirmed his confusion as a "gender identity" issue. In this raw and unflinching interview, Michael reveals how a lack of safeguarding and a "don't question, affirm" policy nearly led him to irreversible surgery. He discusses the physical toll of five years on hormones, the moment Richie Heron’s story saved his life, and why he chose to walk away from a community that demanded he cut off his own family. Is the "affirmation-only" model protecting vulnerable people, or is it failing the very individuals it claims to save? Michael’s story is a powerful look at institutional accountability, the complexity of male trauma, and the courage it takes to reclaim one's reality. #Detransition #NHS #MentalHealth #Psychology #TrueStory #MedicalEthics #Heretics #AndrewGold Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 00:00 The "Gold Star" Gay Man’s Story 02:15 A Nightclub Trauma That Changed Everything 05:40 Why the NHS Ignored My Safeguarding Needs 09:12 The "Ideal Candidate": Fast-Tracked to Hormones 13:25 What 5 Years of Estrogen Does to a Male Body 18:50 The Reality of "Successful" Surgery vs. Regret 23:15 How Richie Heron Saved My Life 28:40 Breaking the Silence on Detransition Rates 33:10 The Truth About Fetishism vs. Trauma 40:20 Choosing Reality Over Affirmation 46:30 Entering Women's Spaces: An Open Confession 51:15 Coming Home: Healing the Family Rift 54:30 My Final Warning to the System Learn more about your ad choices.

Chesterton "Heretics," a series of essays by Gilbert Keith Chesterton. First published in 1905. Read by David "Grizzly" Smith.Chesterton had a sense of humor, had a sense of drama, and had sense. He was a man of strong opinions, and quite willing to argue vehemently for his own opinions, even with his friends -- and they remained his friends -- like George Bernard Shaw and Rudyard Kipling. Seems to me that's hard to find anymore.He wrote prolifically. He wrote humor. He wrote mystery novels, the Father Brown mysteries in particular. But he also wrote his opinions, his religious opinions and his opinions about religion. "Heretics" is a book about religion and politics, theory and fact, morals and efficiency.What I most admire about "Heretics," written a bit over a century ago, is that his arguments are exceptional, and that so many of them are still quite recognizably true. He argues that the weakening and devaluing of religion has also weakened and devalued heresy. He argues that Early Church Collection Volume 3 by Various Loyal Books This collection begins with Augustine's exposition of the Apostles' Creed, a confession of faith attributed to Gregory Thaumaturgus and a series of statements on christology. Then come two works attributed to Hippolytus and a treatise addressed to Tatian arguing, without using Scripture, for the existence of the soul.
