Joshua McParland of Belfast began struggling with gender dysphoria at a very young age. "Through primary school people would mistake me for a girl, because I had a high-pitched voice and long hair," he told Good Morning Ulster. "So that's where the confusion of my identity sort of happened ... because I looked so feminine. You're like a sponge as a child, absorbing people's opinions."

As a result, McParland decided to attempt a "transition" to female, and began taking cross-sex hormones at age 17. According to McParland, he had to pressure his mother get permission to "transition," and she ultimately supported him. "As a mother, she just wanted to love me," he said. "I think as a teenager, you think you know it all, and you really don't. I was partying, I was doing drugs, I was just doing crazy stuff." In January 2024, he traveled to Turkey for breast implants to better "present" as female.

McParland's mother is also supporting him as he seeks to reverse the changes he embarked on when he was 17. In February, scarcely a year after he went to Turkey, he had surgery to remove the breast implants he purchased. He has also stopped taking cross-sex hormones. McParland says he now recognizes that he was "running away" from his problems—and that trying to change his sex was wrong.

The catalyst for this realization was his conversion to Christianity, which came just before he was about to get "bottom surgery," which would have involved castration and the attempted creation of a "neo-vagina." McParland could not be happier about the fact that he changed his mind. "That was the first time that I was ever honest with myself, that I actually wasn't a woman," he said. "I was also giving up a future, with a family and kids. You are literally mutilating God's creation. It's so wrong..." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
