To My Fellow Detransitioners — Genspect It has been two and a half years since I posted a video online expressing that the transgender path I’d been on for over six years was over; that I was ex-transgender, and detransitioning. A lot has happened since then. My wife Grace, (who was on testosterone for six months because she also was sw...

EP81 It's Okay to be a Man - with NJada 29/02/2024

NJada is a detransitioned man who began social transition in 2013 at the age of 19, and HRT the following year. He ultimately detransitioned in 2015. Since then he has been gradually working through stages of self-acceptance. After taking a break from the whole topic of gender for a time, he began to get in touch with other detransitioners in late 2018. In 2022 he began to write and speak publicly about his experience on Twitter and Substack. He hopes to share what he's learned about the draw to identify as a woman and how he has come to accept and even love being a man.

On a post from a follower seeking resources for her granddaughter, I posted a reply to a comment that was subsequently removed.

Here's what I wrote:

>>Please edit your comments and remove the political commentary or your posts will be removed. This page is not about politics. If you can't keep your political views out of this conversation, you will be blocked from commenting.

This page exists to share and resources for those who are detransitioning/desisting.

This page is rooted in love, kindness, and compassion. If anyone sees anything that is not aligned with those values, please let me know. Talking about detrans stories is not hateful, though there is much gaslighting and silencing of those who share their stories. Do not erase or minimize their experiences.

As this page grows, I am unable to read every comment and reply, so I rely on followers to help keep this page respectable.

From a follower...please add resources and/or advice in the comments:

>>My granddaughter wants to detransition back to female.
What kind of Dr would she use to change her voice back to female?

Waxing doesn't remove her facial hair when it grows in. What Dr. would she use to permanently remove facial hair?

Lastly, she had top surgery. She now wants to get small size breast implants. Is this possible?

Thank you for your help. This is really a big mess, and we don't know where to turn.

Thank you

Meet Daniel, today's ...

(In his own words, Twitter 🔗👇)

>>After 6 years of “living as a woman” I detransitioned. Was I happy? Sometimes. Did I still want to die? Yes. Did I start loving myself more? No. Do I regret going through all of that? Yes.

Going through transition was an interesting experience. It brought me a lot of good times and a lot of bad times. My life in transition wasn’t always bad. I had a good job, I met people I would have never met and now I’m engaged to my partner who I would have never met either.
I felt good. I felt like I’m someone because I went that far.

My body was struggling. I was depressed and I wanted to end this life. I felt like I needed to play some role all the time. Even though I believed I was who I was supposed to be I was still so unhappy. Then I realized that my transition was just a mask behind which I could hide myself from the world. It was not about having a good relationship with my body and myself. I hated myself. I wanted to look nothing like me. The more I looked different the more I liked it. I just wanted to be someone else.

My intimate experience was worse and worse. Guys were into me even though they knew I was trans. Some of them didn’t mind. I didn’t like being in a relationship with them and even though I tried it didn’t work out anyway. It was about me. I didn’t want to be in a relationship with a man. I wanted to be a man. Then I started to regret my decision to transition. It’s been almost 2 years since I started to struggle living my trans life.

I detransitioned and sometimes it gets really tough. I still regret my past decisions and I blame doctors as you know from the interviews and tweets.

I hope someone will see this and just understand that transition will never heal the hate inside the person. They will always hate themselves. They will always hate their body. They will only be saying that they’re happy because they think they’ve done something good for their life. It’s not true.
We need to stop this demagogical ideology.

I remember meeting her at the screening of Detransition Diaries where she hoped to one day feel brave and confident enough to speak publicly about her experience.

I had an 85-year-old friend who had severe osteoporosis towards the end of her life. As she lay in bed, nearly every movement would cause micro fractures along her back. I remember her telling me that it was intensely painful 😢

At the age of 30, I was diagnosed with after breaking my foot and my elbow while practicing Tae-Kwon-Do.

By the age of 40, I was diagnosed with full-on due to my frequent and long-term use of Prednisone for my autoimmune disease.

Now age 50, I am terrified about what the future holds for me as I continue to age.

Please reconsider putting your child on and cross-sex hormones. They need their own hormones for proper skeletal growth. Anything else is basically an experiment with your child as the test subject 🙏

FTM DETRANSITION: Deciding to go back 06/11/2022

Meet Xandra, today's ...

Xandra speaks about having a positive outlook regarding detransitioning, but also acknowledged there are additional issues for those who surgically altered their bodies (which she did not do).

She also stresses how she made these decisions as a full-grown adult. As much as we advocate for children to remain intact in their healthy bodies, she feels that adults as well should not be given access to gender-affirming care that medically alters the body. Even IF the medical transition feels 100% right, is it worth shaving ~10 years off your life for this? Especially given the fact that we really don't know what long-term effects there are from cross-sex hormones.

Check out her story on YouTube...

Y'all should know who Chloe Cole is by now. As one of the youngest and most outspoken Detransitioners out there, she receives more hate and harassment than anyone I know.

(interesting to note that she NEVER experienced any such hate when she was trans-identifying, only as a Detransitioner does she have to deal with this on the daily)...

Her bravery, poise, self-assuredness, and confidence shine through though. It can't be an easy road, but this young woman is leading the way that (tragically) so many others will follow.













PS, Wondering what a "graft" is?...🔗👇

Not everyone who detransitions regrets their transition. Some folks feel like it was an important part of their becoming who they are today, and they still show undying support for the trans community, transgender medicine, and the affirmative care model.

However, there's no doubt that the resources and support for folks are nearly non-existent. And the medical risks involved will still continue to have an impact on their long-term health and life expectancy.

"My whole body is a scar. My voice is a scar." 22/10/2022

"I was just, I was a dumb teenager....by the way, this whole process has taken a lot of humility. Luckily, it was necessary because it came it came to a head where I thought I could either keep living in that delusion or humble myself severely and start talking about this stuff. So, you know, I'm not part of any of this stuff and some of it's hard to talk about. But yeah, I was a dumb, very easily influenced teenager because I had that that pain, that that hole, you know, from day one."

Another heartbreaking expressing regret over the irreversible damage done by Gender Affirming Medicine.

My Detransition (ftmtf) - a few thoughts 22/10/2022

Meet E Mauss, today's from Germany. She started puberty blockers at age 13, testosterone at 15, double mastectomy at 17, and today she talks about the 'switch' that happened inside that led to her realization that she had made a mistake.

You can see how difficult this journey has been so far, and she speaks with such determination to move forward without judgement and shame...but you can also clearly see she's struggling with these feelings still.

My heart goes out to her and all the folks out there who are going through this experience. You are not alone. There is support for you (link in comments 👇).
