People who formerly began gender transition procedures flooded social media with
their de-transition stories on DeTrans Awareness Day, sharing stories of >depression, anxiety, and fear.
The testimonies come amidst national controversy over whether children should be
able to obtain such procedures. In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has drawn
fire for calling transgender treatments for children child abuse.
Twitter users who spoke out Saturday said that they began taking testosterone as
soon as they turned 18. These users, many of whom are biological women, describe
how they did not feel that they fit in in high school or middle school and >sought to find answers on the internet.
I started taking testosterone at 18 because i was tired of not fitting in with
other girls so thought id make a better man instead, tweeted user Allie. An >autism diagnosis later and it all makes sense now.
Allie, who does not use her last name to preserve her privacy, told The Daily >Wire that theres a big problem right now with how hormonal therapy is being >given as a rushed treatment for gender dysphoria in young people.
That hormonal therapy takes precedence over explorative therapy that might help
dysphoric people understand why they want to be the opposite sex, she added.
Detransitioner Michelle, a biological woman who told The Daily Wire that she >sought to transition to a man, shared that she began transitioning in 2010 at >age 22 and detransitioned in 2020.
I grew up as a tomboy who didnt fit in, tweeted Michelle. I was keenly aware
of this by the time I was 7. I was too loud, too bossy, too impulsive, too >emotional. The girls I made friends with felt conditional, like they would leave
me the moment I did something wrong (and they did).
For years, I struggled with this, Michelle continued. I might have been set >in my ways, but I certainly wasnt mean. I had no idea why it felt like so many
people just immediately didnt like me. My parents enrolled me in social skills
group therapy when I was 10.
Michelle said she began to discover activist gender conversations on the >internet, how her mental health was suffering, and how she became suicidal.
I was vulnerable, desperate, and young, tweeted Michelle. On top of that, I >had people online telling me if you think youre trans, you are and cis >people dont think about gender this much. I heard the only 1% regret it >statistic, and I thought Id be fine. That could never be me.
She continued: What reasons did I have to not trust them? Why would so many >people tell me things that werent true? Why would my doctors go along with it >if I werent really a man? Why would therapists risk my mental health if they >werent sure whether I would benefit from transition?
That is the state of activist-controlled health care, said Michelle. There is
one narrative that is acceptable, and every person who does not fit that >narrative who regrets transitioning, who returns to living as their sex, who >talks about the potential for issues is told to shut up.
De-transitioner Helena Kerschner shared that when she was 15-years-old, >lonely, and hated her body, she got sucked into gender ideology online.
My school encouraged me and i was easily prescribed a high dose of testosterone
at 18, and it was very damaging, she continued, adding the hashtag >DetransAwareness Day alongside two photos showing her at 19 after attempting >to transition to a man, and her at 23.
This is not rare, Kerschner added.
Why are we doing this? Why are we talking about detransition, detransitioner >Twitter user Watson asked.
Because it is important, Watson continued. Because it is *happening.* The >stories will not be easy to accept medical scandals never are. But that >doesnt mean they should be ignored. Quite the contrary, actually.
Watson cited a 2021 study by Dr. Lisa Littman, physician-scientist whose >research is focused on gender dysphoria, showing that out of 100 detransitioners
who participated in the study, 60% detransitioned after they became more >comfortable identifying as their biological sex.
The peer reviewed study also found that 49% of that group detransitioned over >concerns about potential medical complications from transitioning, and 38% >detransitioned after coming to the view that their gender dysphoria was caused
by something specific such as trauma, abuse, or a mental health condition.
The majority (55.0%) felt that they did not receive an adequate evaluation from
a doctor or mental health professional before starting transition and only 24.0%
of respondents informed their clinicians that they had detransitioned, the >studys abstract says.
There are many different reasons and experiences leading to detransition, the

Another detransitioner and outspoken commentator Grace Lidinsky-Smith shared >photos on Twitter depicting her transformation.

In a February 2021 SubStack piece, Lidinsky-Smith shared that no other decision
in her life has impacted her so indelibly, or caused as profound regret, as my
2017 decision to transition FTM: female-to-male.
As I write this, the mastectomy scars are twinging on my chest, she continued.
4 years later, Ive grown older, wiser, and way more cautious. But the scars >remain.
When I realized that being a trans man wasnt what I wanted anymore, I fell >into despair, Lidinsky-Smith wrote. My body was permanently changed. The >surgery was the hardest thing to deal with. The scars hurt. I missed the feeling

DetransAwareness Day alongside two photos showing her at 19 after attempting
to transition to a man, and her at 23.
This is not rare, Kerschner added.
Why are we doing this? Why are we talking about detransition, detransitioner
Twitter user Watson asked.
Because it is important, Watson continued. Because it is *happening.* The
stories will not be easy to accept medical scandals never are. But that >>>>> doesnt mean they should be ignored. Quite the contrary, actually.
Watson cited a 2021 study by Dr. Lisa Littman, physician-scientist whose >>>>> research is focused on gender dysphoria, showing that out of 100 detransitioners
who participated in the study, 60% detransitioned after they became more >>>>> comfortable identifying as their biological sex.
The peer reviewed study also found that 49% of that group detransitioned over
concerns about potential medical complications from transitioning, and 38%
detransitioned after coming to the view that their gender dysphoria was caused
by something specific such as trauma, abuse, or a mental health condition.
The majority (55.0%) felt that they did not receive an adequate evaluation from
a doctor or mental health professional before starting transition and only 24.0%
of respondents informed their clinicians that they had detransitioned, the
studys abstract says.
There are many different reasons and experiences leading to detransition, the
abstract continues. More research is needed to understand this population,
determine the prevalence of detransition as an outcome of transition, meet the
medical and psychological needs of this population, and better inform the >>>>> process of evaluation and counseling prior to transition.
Another detransitioner and outspoken commentator Grace Lidinsky-Smith shared
photos on Twitter depicting her transformation.
On the left: me shortly after top surgery, 2017, tweeted Grace. This was the
darkest time in my life. On the right: me recently. Life goes on, life gets
better.
In a February 2021 SubStack piece, Lidinsky-Smith shared that no other decision
in her life has impacted her so indelibly, or caused as profound regret, as my
2017 decision to transition FTM: female-to-male.
As I write this, the mastectomy scars are twinging on my chest, she continued.
4 years later, Ive grown older, wiser, and way more cautious. But the scars
remain.
When I realized that being a trans man wasnt what I wanted anymore, I fell
into despair, Lidinsky-Smith wrote. My body was permanently changed. The
surgery was the hardest thing to deal with. The scars hurt. I missed the feeling
of having an intact, unscarred body. I was convinced my life had been ruined.
Regret can be crushing for detransitioners, Lidinsky-Smith wrote.
But somehow, eventually, even after the most catastrophic of mistakes, life
goes on, she said. Its still your only life, and you still have to figure out
how to survive. It took me a while, and I learned I could survive.
Above all, I just want to say: you can come back from this, she continued.
People have lived through a lot more. I am not a guide, I have no special
wisdom, but I come to you humbled, scarred, and holding out my hand. You can get
through this, and build a life.

How can you 'detransition' when it's physically impossible to
'transition' in the first place without a full DNA transplant???
This 'gender' horseshit is a redundant m/f distinction...biological
sex gives the only valid m/f determination.
went beyond social transition and have taken hormones, then some of the
effects are not reversible (like breast development in MtFs), and if
you've got surgeries, then you're out of luck.
You can be socially seen as a male if you ever decide to go back. There
is a small chance I might regret my transition, but that was calculated
against several years of trans feelings and certainty about irreversible >>> changes.
It was your choice to become a social reject. As such, I doubt you'll
ever have any social relationships beyond other loony toon trans
freaks, who are few and far between.
Well, trans people are accepted if you are in a decent part of America.
If you are trans and live in deep South, you probably won't survive
long. There are a lot of jobs you can find in trans-friendly states but
if you're that ignorant, stay in your red shithole, please.
