She is 31 years old, and she is suing a psychiatrist for approving a gender transition after just one meeting. Yes, she transitioned to male

before realizing it was a mistake. And now she's suing a psychiatrist for approving her female-to-male hormone treatment after just one meeting. You know, we are always told in life to measure twice so we only have to cut once i would think you know nowhere would that be more true than when someone is contemplating gender reassignment surgery i know you might be thinking well it's female to male hormone treatment so nothing to be cut but that's not

true because jay is upset that the psychiatrist uh the gender transition and the fact that the psychiatrist signed off on two surgeries to remove her breasts and uterus. So therefore, things do get removed. OK, now let me explain some details. It was 19 when she first met Dr. Patrick Toohy, a better psychiatrist in Sydney, Australia. Jay is now 31 and she was introduced to the doctor to determine if she was suitable for a transition. Now, this is what the specialist, Dr. Patrick Toohey, wrote that Jay was very young and needed a throughout psychiatric workup before embarking on her own treatment. That's the clinical way of saying she was too young to be doing this and she might

change her mind later. So don't let her do this until she's old enough to make a more educated choice because right now she could be making a permanent decision based off temporary feelings but after his first meeting with the teen too he concluded that jay suffered from gender dyssorphia and was fit for testosterone therapy i had to look up what that uh dyssorphia word was that's just i think i and now i don't think it's dysmorphia it says dys dysphoria they don't say dysmorphia it might be dysmorphia maybe they missed them i don't know but i had to look up what that was but that's just a clinical way of saying she feels like she's in the wrong body there is a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity now well next time jay went to go see dr tui she told him she was eager to undergo top

surgery to have her breast surgically removed as part of her transition so tui approved the double mastectomy and they got rid of the tatas okay a month later jay met with tui for the third and final time to discuss having her uterus removed now the doctor according to the lawsuit wrote that he could find no reason to not proceed with the hysterectomy so she got cleared to get her power u removed now nearly a decade later jay who no longer identifies as a male is suing the doctor for professional negligence she says it's the doctor's fault for green lighting hormone therapy even after she told him she suffered from social social phobia and she alleges that he was negligent and not reminding not recommending she get a second opinion ahead ahead of her hysterectomy okay even though the doctor strongly recommended that jay seek social and family therapy but jay chose not to listen she chose

not to heed that recommendation and the doctor still gave her what she asked for now jay is suing wow jay said in 2016 four years after the surgery when she started receiving psychiatric treatment from another doctor is when she came to the realization that she should not have undergone the hormone therapy uh are the first and second surgery so let me get this straight at 19 you come to me as a woman tell me that you're really a man i tell you go talk to a psychiatrist you don't take my recommendation and then persist to insist on the surgery and later on in life when you don't when you do go seek psychiatric treatment and realize you're not who you thought you was and you was

who you was before you got here and decided to have surgery now it's my fault you won't assume me in the court documents jay argued that too he should have realized she might be autistic and referred her for further treatment how the hell am i supposed to know if you autistic you you asking too much of me as a doctor because truth be told i'm sure it's a bunch of doctors when people come in for gender transition they would like to diagnose a lot of these cases that psychological disorders but if they did that I guarantee you it would be a problem I guarantee it would be people complaining saying I should be able to go into a doctor and request a sex change without

a doctor labeling me as having a mental disorder when the reality is we all know nobody should be making such a permanent decision at that young of an age come on people 19 years old and you want to renovate the whole car jay said in a statement that the hormones and surgeries that she requested left her suffering from injuries disabilities and complications including early menopause anxiety and depression impaired psychological functioning and diminished capacity for employment employment ma'am you requested this you requested this and now that you changed your mind you want to suit a doctor who did this surgery come on man now wait there's a little more jay felt when she

was 17 something was wrong with her because she was attracted to girls so she went online and read about gender dysphoria so she decided that what she that's what she had and she must be transgender because of this of the discomfort that she had in her body or maybe you're just a lesbian maybe you're just attracted to women the fact that she thought the source of her distress was not being a man is only because she had the option you know to be other things we might be throwing too much at these kids we may have to shorten the menu a little i mean damn when you present kids with 68 different gender identities, I can see how this can be confusing to some. But one thing's for sure, two things for certain.

The doctor should not be held liable for any of this. Jay, you made a choice, and that's what life is. A matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. So what's the solution? I don't know. I just know that when you're 19, regardless if it's a sex change or any other matter, just give yourself some time before you rush to any life altering decisions. OK, I'm reading the timeline of some of these choices. And to me, none of this should have happened this fast. But you have to live with your choices. We are what we choose to be. Some choices we regret.

Some will haunt us forever. Some choices we're proud of i know you're living with regret right now but that's life i don't have anything else other than you know this is a prime example of why you shouldn't make permanent decisions based off temporary feelings please uh give jaylen gadinos the sweet sounds and the dinos, the sweet sounds, and the hammer tones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey. Do y'all think that doctors should be held liable in this situation? No. Not at all. No. No. thank you for that dunk. Do y'all think that doctors should be held liable in this situation? No. Nope. Not at all. No. No. She made choices.

Exactly. Not at all. All right. Well, this Saturday is Angela Yee Day, and she has a bunch of performances and a bunch of things going on at her Angela Yee Day. Yes. It's a lot of Caribbean vibes. The West Indian American Day Parade is happening next week.
