Jazz Jennings Was "Transitioned" At 2 And Had Surgery At 17: "My New Vagina Fell Apart"

Jazz, originally named Jaron, was socially "transitioned" by kindergarten. Jazz's mother, Jeanette Jennings, claims that Jazz started asking at age 2 when the "good fairy" will come and "change his penis to a vagina." A doctor diagnosed Jazz with gender dysphoria by age 4.

Jazz was then given puberty blockers at the age of 11, which effectively interrupted Tanner Stage 2, which means Jazz will never experience healthy sexual development and the ability to achieve an orgasm.

These medical interventions, combined with a very public life on reality television and glowing reviews from mainstream media, have made Jazz a prominent figure among transgender youth. However, Jazz's journey has not been without severe complications.

At 17, Jazz underwent "gender confirmation" surgery in the form of castration and the construction of a "neo-vagina." Sadly, the surgery, meant to be the culmination of the transition, resulted in a series of devastating complications. Just after the operation, Jazz's surgically constructed vagina began to split apart—a traumatic event Jazz vividly described as hearing something "pop." This complication led to hospitalization and the need for three additional corrective surgeries over the following years​.

One of the most painful aspects of Jazz's post-surgical experience involved the use of a dilator—a plastic tool that had to be inserted into the "neo-vagina" multiple times a day to keep the cavity open.

The process, known for being incredibly painful, was made even more disturbing by Jazz's mother, who confessed to waking Jazz up, applying lubrication, and demanding that Jazz use the dilator. Jeanette even threatened to perform the procedure herself if Jazz did not comply. Many have called Jeanette's actions child abuse and raised serious ethical questions about the roles and motivations of those around Jazz.

And despite all the medical interventions and affirmation from millions across the world, Jazz has still expressed a deep dissatisfaction with the results, recently stating, "All I want is to be happy and feel like me. And I don't feel like me, ever." This tragic admission underscores the painful reality that the so-called "lifesaving healthcare" Jazz received has not brought the peace that was promised.

Many are also wondering if Jazz may not have chosen this path without coercion from the adults in Jazz's life, particularly Jeanette, who has been an aggressive advocate for Jazz's transition. Similarly, the Jennings family's decision to document Jazz's transition on television, exposing Jazz to public scrutiny from such a young age, has led to concerns that the transition may have been driven by external motivations, such as fame and media recognition, rather than Jazz's authentic desires​.

Adding to the controversy is Dr. Marci Bowers, a surgeon involved in Jazz's procedures, who has acknowledged the irreversible nature of puberty blockers, particularly their impact on fertility and sexual function. This admission is troubling, especially given the use of puberty blockers in Jazz's treatment, which stunted penile growth and complicated surgical outcomes. Despite the devastating lifelong effects, Bowers and her allies continue to push for "gender-affirming" surgical procedures for children and teens.

Jazz's story suggests there are real dangers of early medical intervention for gender dysphoria. Rather than a celebration of transformation and self-acceptance, Jazz's experience seems to point to traumatic consequences that can arise when the pressures and decisions of others shape a child's life.
