Dysphoria and Detransitioning

[@TheMoonkitty]

Beautifully stated. Keep making your voice heard. It is so very important.

I really appreciated how you talked about this. I don’t seek out much detransition content normally and I found it odd to find this on my recommended, but I did genuinely really appreciate how you were able to talk about your own individual experience whilst also not putting down trans people who choose to transition or stay transitioned. Personally I have never taken hormones but I can definitely relate to that whole “Not caring anymore” part, I suppose I assumed it came from the exhaustion the trans identity brings in and of itself, and the constant defending of your own choices. It feels easier to not care. Much love towards you and your future journey in identity and self-discovery. :)

"trying to be the best version of [one]self" is a good way to put the search for authenticity :)

[@emilyhayward9231]

YOU LOOK GREAT! YOU ARE MAKING A BIG TIME DIFFERENCE!

[@grumpysincebirth]

Onwards and upwards!

[@demonicastar]

It's crazy to me that someone as good looking as yourself would have issues with your appearance. You remind me of a young Alexis Arquette , I hope it gets easier for you, from some of the comments I've read it seems that quite a few of us see you very differently from what you see.

[@WearyWayfarer]

Thank you.. thats the clear difference between dysphoria and dysmorphia

[@demonicastar]

@@WearyWayfarer thank you for clearing that up ❤️

[@NotevenTony]

I really liked the bit here about euphoria. There’s some real wisdom there. Truly Good things come through suffering and not pleasure is what I’ve learned

[@WearyWayfarer]

Thank its a angle ive not heard others talk about :)

[@Fitnessmtftransgender]

Please can I speak privately 😢 for over a year now, I have been struggling with my identity, and I want to dextrans after Being on HRT for 5 years

If it matters at all, I thought you're quite handsome, you look like my childhood friend a bit, and there's nothing wrong with being androgynous too, event though I see you as a handsome guy. Actually I believe being naturally androgynous should be normalized and accepted more, without focusing on pronouns... Who cares. We're just ourselves. And hormones are bad... Even being female my health has suffered so much from prescription estrogens that I will never ever take them in my life. There are phytoestrogens, BTW, that are as potent and much less harmful, even have positive effects, that one can dose individually.

I'm a trans man and I'm Incredibly happy and content with taking hormones and it solved a lot of my issues. but I still really appreciated this video because not only does it not blame trans people It's obviously coming from a very sincere place. The whole narrative of What makes a trans person is their dysphoria Is incredibly toxic for trans people as well It's Very sad to see trans people say they are born in the wrong body And it needs to be fixed Yes Statistically less than 1% people regret transitioning But their experiences and stories are still important for the future success of gender affirming care. I really related to what he said at the end When I stop giving a shit about passing and society's pressures things got so much better for me

reppers when it doesnt work and they have to lie on youtube to convince themselves otherwise

[@grumpysincebirth]

what does reppers mean?

[@TomsGarage007]

@@grumpysincebirth short for repressor - someone who represses their trans identity consciously or subconsciously, usually through denial, most extreme would be going to the military (which actually happens more than I thought) to prove masculinity (which usually fails anyway), most simple would be ignoring and avoiding it if you are unable to transition due to financial. emotional (maybe you already have other mental issues to deal with) & social factors (people around you won't accept you). Or you get the nutty ones that think the cia has implanted a brain chip in them to make them trans or something, or drinking soy, like my loony mate (they're chill tho). Not everyone who is questioning and especially not detrans is repressing, maybe they just don't know wether they're cis or not yet, and I think most detrans know, because they went through transition and that's usually a pretty good test to see if you are trans.

[@TomsGarage007]

Trans people exist therefore detrans people exist, everything has a regret rate, a repper probably wouldn't quietly and calmly accept themselves as post trans, with being happier for it (like he seems to be), which is a paramount factor in deciding any transition in or out, and that doesn't seem to get mentioned enough with the most popular de trans cases in discussed in popular media (because they're usually conservative moral panic shock cases.) And alot (as you probably know) detransition & re transition due to external social factors. If he was a repper he wouldn't be happy or at peace about it. It would probably show, like someone repressing their transness due to religious ideology. But you could be right, but usually detrans people do alot of introspections and you know, have transitioned, so that is a pretty good test - they're not really cis tho because cis people categorically haven't transitioned, and wouldn't have the experience (which often actually results in more not less empathy for trans people), so really they're more like post trans, like ex Christian, because if you were deep enough in it for a long enough time it will always be part of you in one way or another.

[@evepreviouslyknownaslenenjoyer]

@@TomsGarage007 ""detrans people"" are just cis people who use OUR resources which arent meant for them, realize they're damaging their bodies, and then go whine about it online and to the media, which in turn makes it harder for actual trans people to access things like hormones

[@spiderbootsy]

@@grumpysincebirth its cult talk

[@NotMuchToDoToday]

what the hell you never even asked your friends to call you by the correct pronouns? im happy for you and all but also i feel like you probably put yourself in the absolute worst situation while you got transed up dude like ya gotta assert yourself and insist upon yourself sometimes
