A self-described Canadian biological male and post-op transsexual is requesting Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) after regretting the decision for gender transition.<\/p>\n

The Western Standard, which is based in Canada, first reported<\/a> on the story. Known on Twitter as “Duchess Lois,” he wrote<\/a> that he was seeking MAiD because his gender transition is not reversible.<\/p>\n

“I’m accessing M.A.I.D as a sterilized first nations person of treaty 6, who is also a post-op transsexual woman of 14 years,” he wrote. “I qualify for it as someone who is sterilized and who has undergone vaginoplasty. Two things that cannot be reversed or relieved.”<\/p>\n

Various past tweets<\/a> have revealed his deep regret about the gender transition experience. “If I could turn back time and do my transition all over again with the knowledge that I have today, would I?” he wrote<\/a>. “That would be something. I wouldn’t have allowed the system to rush me into a surgery that I wasn’t yet ready for. One that resulted in my sterilization.”<\/p>\n

When the process did not go well, the doctors meant to help him did not seem to care. “The last couple of years were very intense medically for me. When I experienced depth loss in June 2021, I had to add a second dilation to my weekly routine to help myself. The doctor wasn’t concerned as she put it, ‘we as females experience vaginal atrophy,'” he explained<\/a>, adding, “2022 came! I was referred to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women (about my hole). It was a phone consultation, nothing more!! I was relabelled [sic] from homosexual to asexual by that doctor?! Then came June 2022. I experienced a rare event of a confusional [sic] migraine that lasted 22 days and during that time I had forgot which genitalia I had and it caused so much stress and I was in and out of the hospital and I tried to raise this concern with several doctors… It was brushed off! I was so confused as to why I didn’t have a penis anymore!! That was the tipping point for me. It’s what changed my life and mind that I can no longer trust this medical system that is captured by gender identity ideologies. It has killed the Indian.”<\/p>\n

Since then, Lois has been told that he does, in fact, qualify for MAiD.<\/p>\n

“I talked to my doctor, and I qualify. She is referring me to the m.a.i.d team. We talked about my concerns as someone with vaginoplasty and long-term maintenance. I do not want to get old in this body,” he said<\/a>. “We also talked about my previous regrets of having surgery so young. And the cultural impacts of me being who I am as a first nations person. I told her I became a statistic.”<\/p>\n

Others in Canada have felt forced to seek assisted suicide or euthanasia when they have not received proper medical care. Jennyfer Hatch, the woman at the center of a pro-euthanasia ad, had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and had previously spoken about her struggle to get medical care<\/a>. Hatch explained that she didn’t want to die, but it was easier and cheaper to obtain MAiD than to get quality health care.<\/p>\n

Others have sought MAiD due to poverty<\/a> and disabilities<\/a>, and have been pressured<\/a> into MAiD, even though what they were seeking was treatment<\/a>, not death.<\/p>\n

And now, it seems that Canada may eventually have another avoidable death on their hands, due to medical neglect \u2014 not terminal illness.<\/p>\n
