Roundup of Oli London tweets from the week of his detransition:
As of last month, he was still being his usual flamboyant self, calling
this cross-dressing K-pop stan the "Brazilian version of me".
[a][a]
His last regular service tweet was on 03/Oct to plug a German TV show he was on. On the same day, he started tweeting about Christianity, still with long hair, calling this his "Redemption Arc Era".
Was it on this day he found God? Or could he have been waiting till after the TV show to drop the big announcement? Either way, things moved quickly from there.
A few days later, he praised JK Rowling and tweeted a few more times about Christian stuff, and in support of the women of Iran.
Then on the 11th, Oli dropped the big announcement that he is once more A MAN!!!! with HE/HIM pronouns to match (though the KOR/EAN meme pronouns show no sign of being retired).
He personally thanked JK Rowling for converting him back to manhood with the force of her tweets, adding that he'll now finally be able to join the Men's Quidditch team.
(As an HP nerd, I should point out that, despite the author's terf leanings, the fictional sport of quidditch was only ever played with mixed sex teams, ever since its first book appearance in 1997 and all subsequent depictions including the quidditch world cup in book 4.)
The next day, he refers to Jimin as his
ex lover and
ex husband (I'm not caught up on Oli London lore, so don't know if their breakup was announced previously), though even while doing so, reaffirms his ongoing love for the singer.
On October 14th, he tweeted a short video of himself posing with his head freshly shaven and a clump of his hair on a dinner plate, pledging he will auction off his Korean* hair to support the women of Iran.
(*This is seemingly in reference to it mostly being hair extensions purchased in Korea)
He tweets once again to clarify he is back to being a man, and later posts the full announcement with the link to his Youtube video.
In the video, he is wearing his red MKGA hat (Make Koreaboos Great Again). He acknowledges off the bat that his face surgeries and people complimenting his appearance
did made him feel good at first, but the satisfaction was short lived, and that his infatuation with Jimin was unhealthy.
Oli describes being genderfluid in the video and how he experienced some confusion identifying as Jimin, saying that he'd wake up as Jimin on some days and Rosé from BlackPink on others. For what it's worth, he refers to himself as genderfluid in the
present tense, but goes on to say that he's realised being a man is his biology and that he'd be happier living as that. As a result of this, no longer plans to travel to
Bang Cock Bangkok for a penis reduction or breast augmentation.
And for what it's worth, this part actually seems quite genuine. As in, he probably does think genderfluid is a thing, but that it's different from (and ultimately less important than) one's biological sex.
He also shows screenshots of a now-deleted eBay listing for the charity auction of his used hair extensions, with a starting bid of
£1 million British pounds (and £4.45 for postage). The small print describes it as "TikToks most famous Korean hair" and "100% Pure Korean". It specifies that the item is used, with one previous owner and, since it is for charity, returns will
not be accepted.
He ends the video by acknowledging the widespread phenomenon of transition regret. He doesn't seem to think transitioning is bad for everyone, but he does urge genderfluid and trans young people to take their time before committing to anything irreversible, adding that he's open to talk to those seeking advice about it.
He says nothing to indicate regretting his facial surgeries. Indeed, he still seems quite proud of his face. But he unequivocally
would have regretted breast and penis surgery if he'd actually gone through with those.
Hence, on October 16th, he affirms his stance that children and teens should
not be having transition surgery, citing his experience as a trans woman as living proof that people can and do change their minds about these things. He now thinks that people should transition
only if they are well-adjusted adults. He thanks JK Rowling again for his revelations before posting a picture of himself as Jesus.
South Korea also lost a great female athlete that day as he announced his withdrawal from the women's swimming competition with Lia Thomas, given that he no longer identifies as a woman and that this would give him an unfair advantage over athletes who do. He has not yet mentioned any plans to join the men's competition, or indeed any other men's sports besides quidditch.
His shitposts on the 17th are a little more on the nose, including the one where he calls himself "STUNNING & BRAVE" (indicating he is at least peripherally aware of the lingo used by anti-woke people), and another one four minutes after that in which he claimed not to know what "TERF" means, adding that he thinks it has something to do with grass.
He also said that, during the 6 months when he lived as a woman, he respected women's spaces and did not go in them himself (this came up in multiple tweets actually). And in a separate tweet, he mentioned that his discomfort with trans womanhood began at least 3 months prior to his eventual detransition.
It was subsequently announced that the members of BTS, including Jimin, are planning to fulfil their military service. Oli bravely offered to go in Jimin's place, provided that he gets made an honorary Korean citizen for doing so. The South Korean government have yet to respond to his offer.
On what he describes as "DAY 4 of MANHOOD" (still the 17th), he tweeted that he enjoys doing more manly things now, such as wearing less makeup and no longer shaving his legs.
Nine minutes later, he publicly and scathingly called out Ulta Beauty for failing to include more detransitioned KOR/EAN transracial men in their ads for makeup.
Oli would even receive coverage from Fox News, who published an exclusive interview with him about his detransition, alongside social media quotes regarding his pronouns and how he plans to auction his hair. The interview discussed his negative attitude towards children transitioning and the abuse he has received from "haters" over his decision to detransition.
On the 18th, he once again called out woke activists for harassing him. He also told called out Dylan Mulvaney (the "Day X of Girlhood" guy) for mocking women with his infantilising language, telling Dylan that he needs Jesus and should learn to respect women.
I can't imagine why woke people hate him.
