YouTube has censored the story of a young woman who underwent an irreversible surgery as part of an attempted gender transition. Meanwhile, pro-transgender videos of biological women who underwent double mastectomies remain on the platform uncensored. …

Her story has garnered almost 100,000 views on YouTube. But at some point since the video’s December 2022 publication, YouTube censored the video, making it viewable only on its platform. That affects whether readers can see the video if it has been included in a news story or on a news platform.

“This video is age-restricted and only available on YouTube,” reads a notice on the video. No images can be seen, and the background of the notice is black. Clicking on the link allows viewers to access YouTube.

But in the age of fast clicks and short attention spans, the censorship has indubitably affected how many people are seeing Mosley’s story. And this is just the latest video from IWF’s docu-series on detransitioners to be censored by YouTube, according to Victoria Coley, Independent Women’s Forum vice president for communications.
