Naomi Reacts to Candace Owens Interview with Trans Woman Briana Ivy on Bottom Surgery Complications
Naomi examines an interview between Candace Owens and Briana Ivy, a biological male who began hormone blockers at 14 and underwent bottom surgery at 20. Brianna speaks candidly about internalized homophobia, depression, and the severe medical complications following gender reassignment surgery performed by Dr. Joshua Roth in Indianapolis. The discussion explores how media influence, including Jazz Jennings' TLC appearances, shaped Brianna's identity at age 12-13. Naomi connects this to broader concerns about gender clinics, the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) scorecard funded by Pfizer, and how LGBTQ identification rates have doubled with each generation. Brianna's experience reveals alarming details: a 30-minute consultation before receiving hormone prescriptions, severe post-surgical complications including blood clots and chronic pain, and a surgeon who dismissed ongoing medical issues.
Naomi introduces her reaction to an interview Candace Owens conducted with Briana Ivy, a biological male who began hormone blockers at age 14 and underwent feminization surgery at 18, followed by bottom surgery at 20. In the interview, Brianna discusses internalized homophobia, depression, and the negative consequences of transitioning at such a young age.
Candace reflects on her own childhood, remembering boys who were more feminine and how they turned out to be gay men rather than transgender. When asked when Brianna first thought about being trans rather than just gay, Brianna explains it happened around age 12-13. Brianna had no idea what being transgender was until seeing it online and on TV, particularly watching interviews with Jazz Jennings and her family on TLC.
Naomi emphasizes that what we're talking about is culture, and culture matters tremendously. What young people consume through media has an impact on their thoughts and behaviors. She gives an example from her own life growing up in the suburbs where middle-class and upper-middle-class kids acted like gangsters despite not living in the hood. They learned this behavior not from their environment but from culture consumed through media.
Naomi argues it's not hard to see how children can be influenced by TikTok, TV, or their peer group to believe they are trans, especially when considering how with each generation the number of people who identify as LGBTQ doubles. According to a recent Gallup poll, less than 1% of Americans born before 1946 identify that way, 2.6% of Boomers, 4.2% of Gen X, 10.5% of Millennials, and 20.8% of Gen Z.
Childhood Trauma and Internalized Homophobia
Candace probes whether something happened to Brianna during childhood, noting that when speaking with detransitioners, there are often stories of childhood trauma. She references shows like My 600-lb Life where people reveal they were molested or had bad experiences that made them want to escape their identity.
Brianna explains that shame was the biggest theme throughout childhood. While with girls there was safety, other boys were cruel and would touch Brianna inappropriately. There was a culture where being feminine as a boy was very wrong. Brianna remembers hearing a biological father make comments about gay people, which stuck even though Brianna was so young. Brianna felt disgusted by the thought of growing up as a feminine man and couldn't envision being an adult gay male.
Naomi finds it ironic that people who emphatically support the trans movement don't see the ways it perpetuates homophobia. A young boy who likes to play with Barbies, rather than being acknowledged as perhaps gay, will be told by teachers, parents, and doctors that he's born in the wrong body. Naomi argues that transitioning gay children is just another form of conversion therapy—now this gay boy can pass as a heterosexual girl while simultaneously becoming a medical patient for life.
Naomi points out that while Brianna doesn't say this specifically, she has heard other trans women on YouTube say they transitioned because they are not attracted to gay men. They were interested in heterosexual men because they find them more masculine and desirable. Their goal is to successfully pass as women and date heterosexual men rather than being a gay man dating other gay men. This specific motivation is rooted in homophobia—it's a form of internalized homophobia that doesn't get discussed enough.
The Gender Clinic Experience
Brianna describes going to a gender clinic at age 14. A gender clinic is full of doctors, nurses, various specialists like psychiatrists, social workers, endocrinologists, and surgeons—all within a network or hospital focused on gender-related care or gender-affirming care.
The first person Brianna spoke to was a clinical social worker for about 30 minutes. It wasn't comprehensive—just questions about how Brianna identified and what made Brianna feel this way. After only half an hour, Brianna had a prescription for hormones including estrogen, a testosterone blocker, and a blocker injection administered once every 3 months. There was no requirement to speak to therapists or come in every week to unpack childhood experiences. It was just a social worker for 30 minutes checking a box, then a doctor writing a prescription.
Naomi emphasizes there is no standardized way to test for gender dysphoria. Doctors have sophisticated statistical manuals to test for conditions like bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and histrionic personality disorder. They can even detect when someone is malingering—being dishonest about a condition they claim to have. But they do not have a standardized assessment to test for gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is basically the one condition where you diagnose yourself, the doctor affirms you, and then writes you a prescription.
The Healthcare Equality Index Scorecard
Naomi explains that these doctors are writing prescriptions for puberty blockers for children—the same drug given to sex offenders to chemically castrate them. Many of these doctors are ethically compromised.
She discusses the ESG score created by BlackRock, a scoring system that rates companies on how woke they are. Companies get better scores by doing things that are environmentally or socially responsible. This is why companies like Hershey's put a transwoman on chocolate bars to celebrate International Women's Day, and why Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney for partnerships.
There is an identical scoring system in healthcare called the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), funded by Pfizer and Pharma. Healthcare systems earn points for pushing the woke agenda—wearing a trans pin, putting pronouns on hospital patient doors regardless of whether they are trans, and affirming children and giving them puberty blockers no questions asked. If a healthcare practitioner questions a child who says they are experiencing gender dysphoria, the mere act of questioning will be deemed discrimination and the hospital could lose points. A low HEI score opens hospitals or clinics up to discrimination lawsuits.
These healthcare professionals are being forced to push this agenda, and it's all being funded by Pfizer and Pharma—two companies who stand to gain financially from the trans movement. Naomi references an article from a former nurse who quit working in healthcare and became a whistleblower, which she links in her description box.
School Isolation and Continued Mental Health Struggles
At Brianna's new school, people understood Brianna was a trans student. Brianna was asked questions about genitals on the first day, which became a big debate within the school. Brianna was completely alone for most of the time and didn't speak to anybody for the first 3 years.
Brianna thought transitioning would bring a brand new feeling, but mental health did not get any better. The promise was that once you go down this path everything's going to get better, but there was still bullying. Brianna thought this was going to result in becoming a biological female and experiencing what all friends were experiencing, but there were a lot of things Brianna was completely blind to.
Naomi points out two important things Brianna said. First, transitioning didn't make life any better. Parents are often told they need to affirm their children otherwise the child may take their own life. Some parents go along with transition because they think they're doing what's best, but the most realistic outcome is the child will likely face more bullying and isolation at school rather than less. On top of that, medical intervention will prevent the child from fully going through puberty and maturing into an adult who realizes they are simply a gay adult that doesn't require medical intervention.
Second, Brianna believed gender transition treatment could turn him into a female. This speaks to the delusion being pushed by gender ideologues. It is impossible to change your gender—only your gender presentation can be changed. You can pass as a woman but that doesn't make you a woman. Brianna mentions not fully being one of the girls because of being unable to experience all the same things. Being on puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy diminished interest in boys and removed sexual feelings that most teenagers go through during puberty. Brianna still had low self-esteem and low self-worth, and what Brianna thought would fix that was bottom surgery.
Bottom Surgery and Severe Complications
Brianna saw Dr. Joshua Roth based out of Indianapolis. At the consultation, they handed Brianna a blue piece of paper like taking an order, showing three different ways to do the surgery. The most common and longest-practiced is penile inversion, where the inside of the organ is composed of penile tissue that is inverted internally. Another option is the sigmoid colon graft, where they take a graft of the sigmoid portion of the colon to use for the internal organ. This has lots of complications including typically having a colostomy bag and smell associated with it, plus risk of infection.
What Brianna had was something never heard of until going to Dr. Roth—the peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty. They went in laparoscopically into the stomach and took out the inner lining of the skin called the peritoneum, using that graft to create the internal organ.
Brianna had severe pain all over the body and actually had an epidural because of the pain. Brianna could not use the restroom, and just a few days later had blood clots in the legs—a DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a large clot in the leg. They only discovered it because of a fever. From there, Brianna had to be on blood thinners for 3 months with daily injections and was in the hospital for about 2 weeks. During that time, there was intense fascination with what was being done.
Naomi explains that bottom surgery is still a relatively new procedure increasing in popularity. It's estimated that 9,000 people undergo gender reassignment surgery every year in the US. As these procedures grow in popularity, it's becoming increasingly taboo to discuss possible downsides. According to research done by PubMed, 55% of trans women who have bottom surgery are in so much pain they need medical care a year later, and up to a third struggle to use the toilet or have sex.
When researching for a previous video, Naomi learned of class action lawsuits filed and settled in the last 6 years against the company that makes Androderm testosterone patches and AndroGel. These testosterone treatments are used to treat medical conditions in men but are also prescribed to trans men as part of gender-affirming care. The lawsuits were filed because the testosterone treatment unnecessarily increased risks of strokes, heart attack, and death.
Medical Negligence and Ongoing Pain
Brianna would try calling the doctor saying this feels wrong, that there's no way this is what it's supposed to be like. It looked horrific on the outside—it didn't and still doesn't look like any kind of genital, but something in between. Even when going in for checkups, Dr. Roth kept saying things were fine. Brianna would ask questions about the pain, still bleeding, still having discharge, still in so much pain even two months later. Walking felt like there was a brick—non-stop pain. He said it's fine, it'll go away.
A few months later, Brianna called saying the pain is not going away but getting worse by the day. There was no infection. What was happening was scar tissue all internally from the new organ that was collapsing and causing pelvic floor trauma. Dr. Roth told Brianna there's no recovering this.
Candace tells Brianna that Dr. Roth sounds like an absolute monster who should be put into prison for what he did. She apologizes for what happened to Brianna, calling it horrific and something that should happen to no one, especially when entrusting your life to people who are supposed to be professionals. Candace mentions realizing Brianna was used like a science project—people gawking during surgery, the doctor bringing people to look at his work, then being a coward and hiding from the consequences. She views it as the worst kind of assault. Brianna was only 20, just beginning life, really believing this was going to make life better, and cannot even contact the surgeon.
The Importance of These Stories
Naomi emphasizes it's important that more people like Brianna share their stories, especially because Brianna is not a detransitioner. Many trans activists are very dismissive of detransitioners because they view them as a threat to their ideology, but these are people simply warning others so they don't have the same negative outcomes.
