I forgive him.
I don't forgive any of the doctors, nurses, judges, lawyers, and advocates involved. They took a sick man and encouraged his delusions for political gains. For the medical professionals it goes against their Hippocratic oath. For everyone else it goes against common decency and compassion for the sick.
Good luck Mr. Shupe.

It is sad that the medical professionals have been placed in the political environment they're in. They're afraid of being sued for discouraging him.

Something's fucky with OP's post. Voat tally went from 14 to 6 instantly....

We are getting an influx of either trolls or what most of us would call shills.

This is an interesting note. @bfwilley is also a cancer mod, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if he is also a vote manipulator.

There may be something going on with the site. Yesterday evening I was seeing posts with +NaN and other strange artifacts around.
Could just be some back-end maintenance / bugs or something.

Never once in the entire article does he take responsibility for his own actions. The entire article is "If X had behaved differently, I would have been saved." Never "If I had behaved differently..." The whole article is professional victim-hood. Change all the tranny mumbo jumbo to "Put my finger in a light socket" and you will see how ridiculous it is. "If only the doctors had Told me not to put my finger in a light socket, I would not have shocked myself." The doctors gave him everything he asked for, and he still bitches.

He clearly states he was messed in the head throughout the piece.
[–] Luminx ago
Yet he threatened to get meds himself if they didn't give it to him. Like RandomGoater said, he blames everyone else except himself...stating your messed up in the head is not an excuse. He clearly knew he had issues and should have sought treatment or therapy. Instead he concluded he wanted to be nonbinary and that it would solve his issues...
If you havent noticed most of these people get brainwashed into thinking this way, then blame mental illness and doctors for allowing it. Then rant about how messed up they are.
Zero sympathy for this "thing".

This is the only 'coming out' story I'll ever applaud.

I feel sorry for the guy. He was vulnerable and dealing with some really messed up stuff. He goes to get help and instead of help, he gets a political LGBT agenda shoved down his throat. I wonder how many people are out there that aren't actually LGBT, but are convinced they are by people who are basically recruiting for LGBT.

People in this guy's situatuion should sue the medical professionals that encouraged this.

I can understand this. Sexual abuse is far more common than most NPCs know, and damage it does is immense. I was there, too. Thankfully, I was too embarrassed by my confusion to go public, but I’ve had “risky sexual encounters” as well, with much regret. Eventually, if you get your head back on right, you see this transgender “nonsense” as an actual agenda, being pushed by you-know-who. Might I suggest observing the tits on Baphomet. But the aspects of God are male and female, strength and beauty. When those two come together, you have the creation of life, and homosexuals and transgenders will never get to experience the divine pleasure of creating life in their own image, as God did for us.

Very interesting you bring up baphomet. These people worship baphomet which is exactly why theres such a strong support for the transgender agenda. God bless you.

We know you're mentally ill, so go see a shrink.

Now my thing but you feel to grub your meds and jump on the victim train to nowhere.
