Exactly and it's the same for cosmetics surgery not only transitioning !

[@ScurvyRascal]

Let me tell you all something: I'm a 43y/o woman who grew up being a Tom boy. I cried a river when I got my period 😭 I didn't want them as it meant I had to become a "proper girl". My mom had to force me to wear a bra. I hated EVERYTHING about being a girl. My sister like spending time with my mum cooking and chatting. I just wanted to be out with the boys, jumping off trees and doing burping competitions! But guess what? I'm a woman. There's nothing wrong with thinking differently, dressing differently or playing differently. Do not let anyone is this social media age telling you otherwise. Its okay to let time do its thing. Be true to yourself, your path and your story. No one else's!

[@Elmocello]

Happy for you, genuinely. However you say this in a way that comes across as your story or journey is the only way it can go. I don't know if you meant to come across that way but if you did then I can tell you it's not true. Of course there are many reasons a cis person, especially girls/women, would feel resistance or fear of their development when this society does not make this world safe for them. But to assume that's the case with everyone and that no true trans people exist is ignorant. Being true to myself meant transitioning. With transitioning a lot of my anxiety and depression went away and a general peace of being more aligned was found. I often catch myself thinking "wow is this what non - trans people experience all the time and I'm only feeling it at 22+". So yeah. One story is not everyone's story. People need to take their time for sure and seek therapy when feeling unsure about their gender so they can clarify what's really the root cause. My therapist denied transitioning to women who just had internalized misogyny or just believed it would be easier for them to be men due to their attraction to women. True professionals know the difference.

[@ScurvyRascal]

@@Elmocello My message was take your time. I never felt any fear about the meaning of womanhood. I just didn't think I was one. I thought some mistake was made somewhere during my time in gestation! I'm straight too, by the way. This is my story and I'm not telling you or anyone else that they're not really Trans. I'm telling you that had I grown up in this day and age, I would have definitely considered transitioning. And it would have been a mistake. I'm not sure why you felt like I was telling people that my way is the only way it can go? I thought I was clearly expressing that it *can* go that way since I'm a real person and it happened like that for *me*. My story, if it helps anyone out there.

@@bsrfuchs55 I was 31. I had my daughter at 28 and it was the most difficult time of my life. I became very depressed during my pregnancy. I just couldn't believe it was happening to me. I kept her because I couldn't come with any valid reason to abort. I was too embarrassed about my feelings. It was very hard too when she was born but breastfeeding somehow gave me some mental peace. I could justify the breasts, you see - they were a tool and I could get my head around that. The clincher was seeing myself in the mirror she 31 after coming out of the shower. My body had changed. My hips were wider. I looked developed and actually, I thought it looked lovely! It was a weird experience but a very happy and soothing one, too. I'm not a girlie type of woman but I don't give a 💩 about that. I feel feminine. That's enough for me!

[@fuzbcuz7613]

Being a tomboy, playing sports, enjoying the loose fit of men's clothes, being uncomfortable with our breasts after puberty...these are normal things that many females experience. I wish someone had made you think twice about things before you made irreversible decisions.

[@casperryborg4869]

To be honest, I think it is just too many parents failing their kids. It is their responsibility to guide the young people through life, teach them how the world works, and if a little girl or boy isn't told that they're fine just the way they are, it isn't too crazy of an idea for them to seek out a community that can "help" them with their "wrong" behavior. In my opinion, some parents today are too scared to tell their kids no, or to sit down and have uncomfortable conversations when needed. This will most likely turn around again, once the general person can see the damage it causes.

[@shahmi94]

I hope more people read your comment. My wife grew up as a tomboy since her family didnt have any male model (a very bad divorce) and she stepped up to fill the role. She did all the usual things you would expect from a boy/guy in the family would do, heavy house repairing, lifting heavy things, protecting her sisters. And instead of feeling she doesnt fit in as a female she sees herself as storng woman, and thats badass in its own way. Just because you fit in with the boys and plays all the boy's games, doesnt make you a boy and dive into the transition. Rethink about it, talk with people against you transitioning, see both side of the arguement first.

Bravo to you for *your* bravery, as well. The sex stereotypes put on us from birth, onward, especially as females, are so harmful. I'm glad you are questioning and challenging them. None of us perfectly fit the stereotypes for our sex, because they're patriarchal social constructs. I had a wonderful feminist biology prof in 1980, who I think was lesbian. She was a great early role model for me, in my first semester of college. She told us "feminine" for any particular species means "any characteristic that the female animal is capable of." She said for women and girls that means being good at science, math, sports; being violent, being domestic, etc. Ditto for males. That was a liberating message for me. I hope you will continue finding the bravery to share your insights far and wide. You will help a lot of people.

[@ALinn-vr3nl]

@@dra2033 I'd like to congratulate you for questioning and seeing through these medicalization practices. I can understand feeling foolish, but there has been almost no information available, particularly to youth or young adults, questioning or criticizing all of this. This has been completely irresponsible and unethical on the part of doctors, journalists, news outlets, universities, government, activists, the FDA, and medical organizations. If they haven't been able to see through all of this nonsense and make more ethical decisions, how can young people be expected to see through it all, when not given the information and perspectives that adults have had at hand, or should have sought out as part of their professional responsibilities. When I was growing up in the 1970s, there were tons of articles, newscasts, and conversations about the problems with sex roles, and how everyone should feel welcome to reject sex role pressures. We don't hear that today. And all of this gender identity ideology is being pushed in schools, government, and especially on social media. So I hope you can keep this in mind when you are feeling critical of yourself, and balance those thoughts and feelings with compassion for yourself, as well. The adults and professionals in the room were not behaving as adults and professionals, and that's their fault. So bravo to you for seeing through all of this, when still very few people are, and support is only beginning to show. You are ahead of the curve, and brave to speak up. I look forward to detransitioners suing the heck out of all those unethical "professionals," to put a stop to this.

[@ruthdurfee4439]

@INTHELIFE we live in a time where we're stacking on labels on labels on labels. INCLUDING tons of "nuerodivergents" aka mental disorders. The reason this is problematic is because it's impossible. You can't say everyone is unique and "on a spectrum" and simultaneously expect there to be a group (with a name) that you fit into perfectly. It doesn't mean you have to be an outsider just because you don't feel 100% validated, heard, agreed with, or celebrated by the members of the group you're in.

[@seraphim108]

@INTHELIFE Agreed, most of the time labels are just used for simplicity. It gets annoying saying the exact definition of the word straight, or trans, or gay, or whatever the hell. Even if someone may not have an exact label for themselves, they can still choose a label they fall closest under to identify themselves. This dosent mean that you have to choose a label, but people act like most straight and cis people weren't the ones to originally shove labels upon us.... now that we create, are proud of, or are alright with our own labels, labels are suddenly bad...? They're just ways to describe an "aspect" of ourselves, a part of who we are. If someone weaponizes it to do a "us vs. them" sort of thing, or intentionally used it to divide, that's on them.

There are plenty of people who want to transition who have other underlying traumas (like most everyone) that they should face and work through. So many of these detransitioning stories are the same, they were suffering and they thought they found an answer.

I think a number of detransitioners were just gender nonconforming with some body dysmorphia. They then got swept up in this idea that they were fully trans.

I convinced my mom to take me to get a short haircut. I ended up with a bowl cut ✂️ because it was 1997 when I was 5. As an adult back in 2015 I was in a same sex relationship and started having those intense feels of potentially being trans again. I bought a freeToM packer and everything. Thankfully I had a partner who convinced me not to transition. At the time it was hurtful because I felt like she was keeping me from what I thought I wanted and needed at the time. I definitely would have detransitioned and would be even more unhappy with my body. Thankfully after losing some weight I realize I just have body dysmorphia. I am also very much gender non conforming. In a way I feel like women should empower themselves to do the same things as men instead of feeling like we have to transition to do the same things. I felt like an unattractive woman for so long from being morbidly obese and dealing with pcos. I thought maybe as a man I would be more attractive, but as I'm getting healthier I'm realizing that I like my female body. Things are starting to take shape for me. I think I would have been mad if I caused voice changes from T because I am a singer. I could have ruined my singing voice. Also I deal with enough facial hairs that need to be plucked as a woman with pcos. I thought as a man a beard would be better, but I can't imagine now having to shave my face all of the time or deal with long hairs growing and tickling my lips... on my face. Anyway I don't know why I'm sharing so much, but I think a lot of women have been convinced that we have to be male to do certain things and our bodies have to be a certain way so some might be pushed more towards transitioning to fit a societal standard. I know that doesn't make much sense because society as a whole is unkind to LGBT individuals.

[@dhsredhead]

Please don't let these videos discourage you from transitioning. There is no rule that you have to physically change your body in anyway to be considered trans. Moreover, a good relationship with a therapist will help you decide what steps you want to take in your transition and what is right for you. I came out around the same time as the person in this video and back then there was only one real path to transition. You had to either transition into a man or woman. Today many therapists are a lot more familiar with non-binary people and that people who are not binary trans people exist and will want to take hormones or have surgery without ever fully transitioning into M or F.

[@ninsters89]

It is a complex issue. As a gay male I can honestly say as a child I would have probably been very tempted to transition to be a trans female. However as an adult I don't care what people say if I wear makeup, act a little camp. I am a gay male with feminine traits. I have male traits also obviously. Transitioning is an option which feeds into trying to put the right peg with the correct box. Round peg square hole theory. Sometimes to be truly happy...it's to accept the peg you have been given and all its originality and realise no box is required. I have been in a long term relationship for many years with another gay male who is attracted to the male attributes I have. That wouldn't have been possible had I transitioned in a possible attempt to try and make sense of my younger brain and my female emotional intelligence. It's ok to be a butch female...or a Tom boy...it's ok to be a feminine male. It's ok to wear makeup...present how you like.the quicker you realise there are no rules for being your authentic self...the quicker you get to happiness and self acceptance. What I would say ..I have also experienced body dysmorphia esp when the male characteristics kicked in with puberty facially. If I had to live with such self hatred, it would have been unbearable. That phase did pass for me. Had it not ..that would have been hell. And for those who are in that, I totally understand going for the transition. Or for those who are catagorically sure they are in wrong gender then traision is a viable option. There is a place for transition and for some it is a really good thing. But for quite a few..they are not waiting to see how they think feel and are going down sometimes a irreversible road. Just try and be kind to yourself. There is only one of you on this planet.

Great comment. Identity is very hard and we don't need other people pushing a gender agenda, especially on young people, but we need to give them space to work it out safely.

[@halyson7648]

Couldn't agree more. I'd add that there needs to be more done to assist young people struggling with gender issues. We can't be allowing children to make such huge life long changes. I'd even argue that it should be pushed off til the brain is fully developed. I'm almost 30 and how I feel today about myself is completely different to how I felt at 10, 20, and even 25. A lot of women are denied procedures to prevent child birth(tubes tied, abortion), usually due to younger age or marital status, or location. Why are we denied but they will chemically castrate children and permanently alter people?

[@tarahhillson]

Very well said. I'm a straight female now but in the 90s I experienced gender dysphoria and was confused about my sexuality for a while. I was a full on tomboy as a kid but went feminine as a teen to fit in. I hated makeup, fancy hair, skirts, dresses and heels. Most of all i hated boys hitting on me. I just wanted to be one of the guys and was interested in male things. By time I hit college I was trying to pass as male. Back then masculine females were assumed to be gay. I was attracted to men but the way my social group assumed and repeatedly questioned my sexuality made me question it. I explored same sex intimacy only to discover I am straight. I eventually grew out of my dysphoria and found a more androgynous way to present and that's where I found my peace. I stayed androgynous untill my early 30s. Been presenting female ever since. I think my dysphoria was more about rejecting the feminine and deterring sexual harassment. I never felt like I was in the wrong body but I was very confused about how to present myself and which category I needed to fit into. I went to extremes before I found comfort in my own skin. Life got pretty awesome as soon as that happened. I am so thankful I am not going through that under current conditions. In my opinion, categories are the problem. We need to stop putting people in boxes. We need to differentiate between true trans, trans trenders and people like me just going thru a phase of identity confusion before anyone goes under the knife.

[@karliegilbert7307]

I agree with you on this. As a gay female whose has dysphoria I believe I could have been easily influenced too if I was an adolescence right now. All of this hypocrisy and shame that the lgbt community throws out when having an opposing opinion is why I’ve made the decision to not be apart of the community anymore. I find it scary we are failing our children.

[@ninsters89]

@Karlie Gilbert I have to be honest..have never felt part of a community either. Have always felt like am outsider looking in on the gay alphabet. I am surrounded predominantly with family and colleagues, all of which are straight. My partner is quite straight in mannerisms.. I am more effeminate but fairly strict and staunch in my ways...almost paternalistic and have been told I act quite non flamboyant. This grouping all people that are anything but straight in this alphabet isn't very representative of the people actually out there In reality. Each of the letters are very different things with their own idiosyncrasies, which differ greatly. Spent my whole life educating those around me, and encouraging them to have a slightly more open mind and possess acceptance, towards a aspect of my character that is innate. The last few years have been so aggressive in its push forward...I think the progress of opinions on anyone differing from Straight, is now seen as a jumbled mess linked with attention seeking and fashionable genfer bending antics. Very unusual time to be anyone these days.

Other people get upset when I say this, but even as a trans man I agree there is a social contagion going on with this.

As a guy who considers himself to be more on the feminine side at least in my brain, I totally understand the blur of the binary. Detransition stories have a special place in my heart because just like me, people like this person look at how they're expected to be and they say "no. I have to do this my way." There is wonderful, beautiful, and amazing power in that. Androgyny is attractive and so many people fail to realize that they fall into that or they end up fighting against it in favor of the extremes. If gender is supposed to be this spectrum of expression, why are so many going from 1 side to the other? There's not nearly enough in the middle to spread the whole spectrum.

There is so much outside influence that sometimes we can get confused who we are when were young. Sometimes our friends can influence us in a confusing way. Every human wants to belong. Sometimes we even change yourself because we want to feel more connected to the people around us. Then we realize that your characteristics are waiting to be discovered.

Regardless of that, I’ve seen some or the Nordic countries have a 6 month rule, where when the person has come out as trans legally they must wait 6 months, see a psychiatrist/therapist regularly before having the opportunity to medically transition.

You're so pretty and strong and courageous to live as you are. It's not going to be easy, but if you look around it's not easy for all of us and we all love, we all help when others are in need.

[@taylortalkslife6496]

I strongly believe people are the most beautiful in their most natural and truest form possible. Males should embrace being males, females should embrace being females, and makeup etc should not be an expectation or pressure for anyone. Embrace what you have and who you are, and I swear people will love you for it! "Gender" isn't real, and your sex won't limit you for about 99% of activities.

Hey do you think people who have a hard time hearing need glasses or people with hard hearing need hearing aids because with out them that’s there truest form

[@Stack4Freedom]

@@charcole400 stupidest comparison ever, those things physically impair an individual and reduce quality of life and so hearing aids and glasses help them with that problem which would otherwise haunt them every second of their life.

@@Stack4Freedom “haunt them for the rest of their life” so what happens to trans people when people don’t let them transition

[@Stack4Freedom]

@@charcole400 let them transition, just not at such a young age. Also another point, glasses and hearing aids don’t have any long-term crippling side affects whereas hormones disrupters and gender surgery do. You can’t get a mortgage at 16, why? Mortgages are decade long commitments which any financial institution is fully aware that under 18s don’t have the capacity to take on. Same applies to this.

@@Stack4Freedom they don’t tho and what do you mean by young age cause it’s not like people are giving top surgery to 10 year olds or hormones there is no problem with people transitioning

Stories like these make you wonder why transitioning is being pushed on children. Why they are being told about it by teachers who are fighting to retain this obscene "right", invalidating the responsibility parents have to guide their children. Only adults (21+) should be allowed to make the decision of whether or not to transition. Only parents should have this conversation and others regarding sex and sexuality with children. Should a 3rd party be required, that is where counsellors come in.

I don't want to downplay people who genuinely have gender dysphoria and the struggles that accompany it, but questioning one's identity has unfortunately kind of become the "thing to do" among young people. It's no longer a taboo subject, but rather almost kind of the cool thing to do. Transitioning should be done for the right reasons and should be taken very seriously.

[@ChimObiajulu]

@@kimberlysevastyanenko3798 I am not going to pussyfoot around issues. That is the beginning of problems and dishonesty. There are less than 1% of the population who have this issue. Those same people have made it a problem for 99% of the populace and demand to talk to our children (dishonestly) about the subject. There is no amount of phrasing the topic that makes it right. No amount of cuddling their fee-fees that makes this acceptable. You have an issue? Cool. Go deal with it. Why do you want to talk to my children about it? Why do you demand to groom my children? Nah fam. Not today, not ever.

Alia is a warrior! She’s helped me throughout my entire journey just by being transparent. I identify a lot with her story even the first relationship thing and hating my chest/ hanging with the boys. I’m also very fluid in my gender identity and don’t wanna label myself anymore either bc I get obsessive. I say detrans only in medical sense like getting off hormones and getting laser hair removal done like she states in the video. I’m Greek and middle eastern and the hair thing is 1000% what I went through too. You look beautiful Alia!

Per the d$m-5, they have a di$order. Not me mocking...this is text book. That said, why are people with this di$order allowed the privilage to be referred to as the opposite gender, yet when certain people (with certain diagnosi$ which I won't name) are experiencing what is known as psychosi$, they don't get the privilage of being referred to as objects, or super heros, or any other person they genuinely perceive themselves as?? Question of the decade! Let's not play games. It's a di$order, and should be treated as such, not pandered, not coddled. Every last one will regret transitioning in due time! (WORDS HAVE SPECIAL CHARACTERS TO BYPASS COMMENT ALGORHYTHM...FREE SPEECH IS NO LONGER FREE, SADLY)

[@KH-vp4ni]

You had surgery and everything and you don't regret it? This is where I have a hard time letting kids take hormones. I feel like you just can't decide these things so young. Permanent damages are real even though I hear over and over they aren't. Hugs and peace to you

I just hate that young women elected to have mastectomies. Feeling awkward is part of the growth from childhood to adulthood.
