Welcome to the 21st century. Your viewpoint will no longer be necessary to the public discourse. Tank you for playing.
This young woman regrets her surgical transition and she wants to tell her heartbreaking story. But YouTube will not allow you to watch it via news sites or sharing it. You have to sign in to YouTube and verify your age in order to watch it.
On the other hand, there are countless videos up not behind a wall about how transitioning is wonderful and necessary.
This woman says she needed help with her mental health, not surgery. She compared it to doctors performing liposuction in the case of anorexia. It’s a great analogy. Just because the patient feels fat doesn’t make them actually fat so you wouldn’t consider liposuction.
Daily Signal: YouTube has censored the story of a young woman who underwent an irreversible surgery as part of an attempted gender transition. Meanwhile, pro-transgender videos of biological women who underwent double mastectomies remain on the platform uncensored.
Prisha Mosley spoke to the Independent Women’s Forum’s Kelsey Bolar, also a contributor to The Daily Signal, in December 2022 about the traumatic events that led her to take testosterone injections and undergo a double mastectomy, then to ultimately detransition back to living as a woman.
Since then, Mosley has filed a lawsuit accusing the doctors and medical professionals who transitioned her of medical malpractice and of using “unfair and deceptive trade practices,” causing her years of both psychological and physical pain.
Her story has garnered almost 100,000 views on YouTube. But at some point since the video’s December 2022 publication, YouTube censored the video, making it viewable only on its platform. That affects whether readers can see the video if it has been included in a news story or on a news platform.
“This video is age-restricted and only available on YouTube,” reads a notice on the video. No images can be seen, and the background of the notice is black. Clicking on the link allows viewers to access YouTube.
But in the age of fast clicks and short attention spans, the censorship has indubitably affected how many people are seeing Mosley’s story. And this is just the latest video from IWF’s docu-series on detransitioners to be censored by YouTube, according to Victoria Coley, Independent Women’s Forum vice president for communications.
“While YouTube videos glamorizing and promoting cross-sex hormones and double-mastectomies remain up with hundreds of thousands of views and zero restrictions, they slap warnings, limit viewing, or flat-out remove videos like Prisha’s that warn people about the real consequences and harms of socially and medically ‘transitioning’ and shed light on deceptive medical practices being performed on minor children,” Coley told The Daily Signal.
“This is blatant viewpoint discrimination and the latest example of the bigotry of cancellation,” she added.
