Just a reminder for when you listen to people being presented as trans persons who regret their surgery:
Norma McCorvey - Jane Roe of Roe v Wade - was presented for decades as a devout Christian (evangelical and later Catholic) who regretted her decision. She was used as a prominent voice in the anti-abortion movement and in the attempts to overturn Roe.
She revealed on her deathbed that she was being paid to take that position. The narrative was also complicated by her 35 year relationship with Connie Gonzalez, later claiming that she was no longer a lesbian before confessing that she was paid to say that as well.
Also remember that when they call the child survivors of school shootings “paid actors,” it’s because that’s exactly the tactic they engage in.
It's always projection. "Accuse your enemies of what you are guilty of."
