Questions for detrans:
- Was your detransition/desistance based on your own research and self-discovery, or were you nudged by other people?
- Did the general trans culture do anything to "peak" you into detransitioning?
- What was your biggest medical transition-related regret (hormones, surgery, binding etc)? Any social transition regrets (pronouns, identity, public presence as a trans person)?
- While making the decision to detrans, what were the reasons you considered to potentially continue your transition?
1. Self-discovery I suppose, I was sick and stuck in bed, away from the internet outside of watching movies. I just laid there thinking about it all, my future, how much I hated the process of transitioning.
I also noticed how I was relating to the guys in the movie, and I realised, I was a lot more like them. I realised that all the effort I put into looking better physically for my Transition (Exercise) helped me look like them too. And that was when I realised the root of all of it, it was my Physical Insecurity, Body Dysmorphia. I later got diagnosed with it instead of Dysphoria, I just wish they did it sooner.
2. Honestly it was the Pendulum swinging from being Trans. Right as I detrans and realised what happened, I instantly hated Trannies and was disgusted by them all, going down the rabbit hole actually lead to me ending up here. From then on it was just hindsight, what gets me is how close they got to diagnosing me right (Dysmorphia) but then they got it wrong (Dysphoria). I wish one of them just asked if I was happy in my body with all tht fat
3. Let's just say that someone I loved who supported me, died. And he died knowing that I was Trans. I wish I could have told him the truth. It still haunts me to this day honestly. 3am can't sleep level bullshit.
4. Never did, like I said Pendulum swung, it was fairly instant. The sooner off that train the better.
Yeah i see what you mean.One thing about progressives is that they're stubborn in their beliefs and can never admit when they're wrong because they have the belief that they're always on the "right side of history".With trans they truly believe that even if the majority dont support "trans rights" now that the younger generation(who are obsessed with gender)will increase trans acceptance and the "bigots" will die off.
Oh i don't think they'll go away.There will always be trans believers who think sex changes will one day be possible, but i think they'll just be seen as a tiny minority of weirdos like they used to be seen as.There is one question i forgot to ask.I'm sure you and other detrans people here have constantly herd the brain argument from many trans people.Did you or any detrans person here ever believed you had the brain of the gender you identified as?Despite it being their number 1 argument, i never herd of any gender doctors who actually gives MRI brain scans to prove their patients problems were because they were trans.As such, i'm assuming when you went to the doctors you never got a MRI brain scan that would prove your problems were because you were a "woman trapped inside a man's body."If so, did it at any point make you question the entire idea of transgenderism?
I did believe it, I mean it made sense to me. Fundamentally a lot of the "Born in the wrong body" made sense to me.
But that was before I found out there is more to being a Man/Woman than just Brains and appearance.
I hate to say "um aktually there are two kinds," but y'know.
There are people who fell for the gender experience, but grew up/took a moment to think and worked on the underlying causes, the situations in their lives that left them susceptible.
There are also people who turn 180 on a dime, loudly demanding HRT and titchop now now now oh OK cool now I need implants and laser and asspats now now now subscribe to my vlog to stay up-to-the-minute on my pronouns and how to center yourself on me. The melody doesn't change, just the lyrics.
Unfortunately, it seems like it's the latter who are more willing to get into Twitter arguments and, to a lesser extent, testify in front of subcommittees.
I think that ultimately the more helpful stories are going to come from gender atheists, not born-again gendies who reverted to their original faith with the same zeal.
No you're 100% right.
I've been reading the Detran thread for years and I swear the majority of them are batshit insane, on par with Trannies.
It's insulting, honestly it's insulting, they replace one label with another and expect pity points.
I don't blame people here for being critical of Detrans people, I would be too, hell for a while there I thought I was the only sane one cause I never fucking talk about my experience.
But I did start to notice there were some like me, just screwed over by the world and left to pick up the pieces with no help, no love, only hate and despise.
As others have said here, they still maintain the Gender Ideology, they don't realise what caused them all that pain and suffering was the Trannies, the transition, all of it.
The only way they can ever fix their problems is if they admit they were taken advantaged of, only then will they be able to look deeper into themselves and find the true root of their depression, their anger, their sadness.
But they wont, cause it means admitting that somewhere somehow, something went wrong in the process of Trans people getting "rights".
And Trannies are never wrong, they can't be wrong in any situation whatsoever.
Some Detrans people, actually Detrans, wake up and realise what happened.
The other Detrans, they detransition sure, but mentally they're still Trannies.
