Off-Topic Detransitioner/Desister Stories - People you know or heard about deciding to return to their original gender/sex

[Squishie PP]

Completely normal but not enjoying puberty, and maybe a little FOMO? Trans.

Aside from being autistic, this was the case for me. At this time in my life, I absolutely hated puberty and what it was doing to my mind, and I spent at least the next 12 years wishing it would go away. I really wanted my mind to go back to the way it was before. To some extent it has, thankfully. Had I been born in the current generation though, I probably would have been perscribed puberty blockers at best and pushed towards SRS at absolute worst.

What does this mean?

One of the reasons puberty is so important to not skip is because it plays a tremendous role in the development of more complex higher reasoning skills.

I hated my sex drive. A lot. Tremendously. I wanted it to go away.

Into your mid-twenties, when you somehow successfully eradicated it?

It is still there, just not nearly as strong. And I have learned to accept it, though I still don't like it very much

It's a normal thing about being a human being though.

Are you uncomfortable with other things that remind you that you're an animal, and not a meat robot?

Hunch- eating disorder?

I've heard it all before, and no, no eating disorder. All of what I said is really water under the bridge at this point. My point in bringing it up is to testify that there are people like me who would be susceptible to being lured into the troon movement.

Despite the sensational title the actual story is actually a bit more mundane than that.

Despite the sensational title the actual story is actually a bit more mundane than that.

The "trad wife" in question is 15 and the mom who wrote the article is a total dimwit:

When my daughter came home one day and told me she wanted to go by her gender-neutral middle name and use they/them pronouns I wasn’t surprised. After all, I gave her the middle name Kiran for that very purpose. I’ve always thought girls with names like “Sam” and “Gates” are cool. I wanted her to have that option.

"I gave my kid an androgynous name because I think androgyny is cool. When she acted on that belief of mine, I got snotty about it."

To my utter bewilderment, her father, who nursed his older gay brother through dying of AIDS in the early 90’s and has been a pillar of the local gay community as the house DJ at the gay bar, refused to even use her middle name as well as they/them pronouns. I still don’t know why, it’s probably his narcissism more than ideology, but it has added to the feeling that she can’t force people to do what she wants.

Wow how surprising, mom is divorced and her ex-husband "is a narcissist."

I was proud of her when she went to an LGBTQ+ friendly summer camp last summer and she reported that, when they asked for pronouns she said, “You can call me whatever you see me as.”

Sends her proto-trooned minor child to a gay camp for some reason.

I actually sent her to camp hoping that the kids and counselors would be so over-the-top that they would drive her nuts and she would decide she wants out of the cult.

"I was just pretending to be retarded."

Here is the "tradwife" part:

Now here’s the weird part of the story. A few months ago (she’s 15 now) she started wearing long skirts and growing her hair out. She rides her bike to school, so wearing a long skirt is a bit of a challenge, but she does it anyway. Then she started researching different religions (I’m agnostic so she’s never been exposed to any). She went to the Buddhist monastery with her father several times and came back with a Japa Mala bag. Then she started waking up at 5:30 in the morning, before me, and chanting for an hour while counting Mala beads. Then she started chanting for an hour before bed every night. Then I caught her listening to gurus on YouTube and reading the Bhagavad Gita.

She got some Tilak powder and started putting it on her forehead every single day. She’s gone vegetarian (I’m keto and very skeptical of vegetarianism so I’m making her supplement heavily). Then we started going to a hippie Kirtan group. That’s not good enough for her though so she’s contacted the university Hindu student group to ask them if there are any more serious Krishna worshiping groups in the area. She wants to go out, in public, with the Mridanga drum she got for Christmas and sing Hare Krishna on the street. Ok Kiran, cool.

Now she’s learning to crochet. She’s talking about how much of a problem it is that people don’t want to have kids anymore and that feminism makes women think they have to work. She refuses to eat junk food and cooks her own food to take to school. She complains about her friends eating nothing but garbage and how it’s affecting their health.

Right. Eating healthy, crocheting, and wearing skirts. And sounds like adopting ("narcissist") dad's religious beliefs.

^ I've told y'all before the PITT parents thing is full of retards. Literally the "I didn't think the leopards would eat my face when I voted for the leopards eating people's faces party!" meme.

Agreed. They are at least sometimes amusing morons and cautionary tales. I started collecting them in a thread that has been dormant for a while.

I have searched the thread before posting to see if Laura Becker has been posted here. There's a previous post about the role of Tumblr in her transition but it seems like her writing below on the role of androgynous fashion on her transition has not shared here yet.

"How androgynous fashion tricked me" into trooning out. Right. And of course she "discovers" that her parent was abusive.

Always someone else's fault.

And she's still an attention-seeking nut who dresses in a way that would embarrass most clowns.

The fashion title was a bait-and-switch, being an article more about her difficulty finding herself and making friends as an autistic kid, but with the addition of photos and notes on how her personal style evolved along with it.

That was an awful lot of words, and I really don't want to hang out with her. However, I do think that there are girls out there who would read it and say "omg, it's me," and the "queer fashion" photos lend her credibility.

Detransition was me accepting that I could be Me with all my eccentricities, while also being a heterosexual woman. I didn’t need to be a gay man to have my personality, preferences, sexuality, mental health issues, and everything else that atomized my soul.​

​

That's the kind of conclusion a lot of super annoying girls need to be walked toward, right?

 

[grenouille crétine]

Laura is who I think of first when the topic of detrans grifters comes up, and is testament to the idea that very few sane people are willing to speak publicly about detransition. I’m not even sure how much she had done for how noisy she is; even if she went the full testosterone/mastectomy/hysterectomy route, she’s not a particularly sympathetic or believable figure.

She has a website (a) selling AI-generated garbage and shilling anything else she can think of, and sucks the air out of the room whenever she’s invited to talk somewhere. There are five separate “About” sections on her eyesore vanity project: “About Funk God”, “Services”, “Artist Statement”, “The Funk God Journey”, and “Meet the Team” (pictures of pet rats).

Schizo highlights:

Who is Funk God? The short answer is... everybody, everything, all of the time. The long answer is...it's complicated, but according to the philosophy of funk, everything in the universe is symbiotically connected to everything else, united under as the chaos of existence. Funk is a description of that chaos, of the universe flowing energy along various grooves.

The title was an ironic play on egotism which combined with her growing love for funk music and poking fun of her differences. Growing up Laura was a sensitive and artistic yet shy and awkward girl who had always been aware of her eccentricity and the love/hate relationship she had with often being labeled as "unique" when people didn't know how to perceive her.

She apparently has a vanity license plate saying “Funk God” and calls her home “The Funk Manor”. There is also a page devoted to memes for some reason, and yet another very long page devoted to a bachelor’s (not PhD) capstone project.

She also really likes Jordan Peterson and I am 97% sure some of the stuff under “AI Art” is meant to be him or used him as a base. Bizarre. ETA: I didn’t think to click through the first time but checked and yes, four of the AI pictures are “Jordan Peterson Garden of Eden”. Two include him fully nude and in one of those he’s kissing “Eve”. What the fuck?

In the artist statement on this other site she alludes more to drug and alcohol abuse. She strikes me more like a half-clean junkie than anything else. I get the sense she's lying about everything, even things it would make no sense to lie about, which is the usual "truth jammer" effect junkies have.

She still has that drowsy, rheumy look of someone who is hitting some sort of pipe and or bottle way too often.

Through marijuana, my social anxiety started to lift, and with my newly expanded psyche, increased energy, and confidence, I began my experimental “queer” phase.

That is- She seems schizo because she fried her brain with weed when it was still forming.

I don't buy the autism shit- she was given a school diagnosis of PDD which is a "fuck it, this kid acts weird but doesn't meet criteria for autism, have you tried parenting?" trashcan diagnosis.

I also don't buy the PTSD shit- at least her framing of it, which is downright bizarre. She claims it's some mystical magical combo of having PCOS plus her mom being mean plus abracadabra um er something something yeah! It's junkie word salad.

This nihilism of prideful and naïve youth, combined with severe depression and emotional dysregulation from a hormonal condition, PCOS, along with attachment trauma from familial abuse, and a bizarre diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified, (now swept under the Autism Spectrum) created a worldview of hopelessness, helplessness, and desperate confusion. I later, at 22, would learn these environmental and biological conditions created developmental trauma, and I was diagnosed with PTSD, but before then, I had only a severely anxious and depressed need to fix myself of why I felt incredibly shameful, lonely, and unlovable.

I agree @Aunt Carol that annoying girls like this need to be gently nudged along the path to "you can be a straight girl and still be funky" or whatever. But they also need to be shepherded way the hell away from the rest of what this hot mess has going on.

Isn't Daisy Strongin (now a tradcath and tradwife) also a fan of Jordan Peterson even during her trans days?

I am seeing a pattern here. Maybe some pooners were using Peterson's take on masculinity as guidelines on how to be a man before deciding that they would never measure up to it?

PTSD is a legit diagnosis for a very specific form of trauma and I'm so tired of hearing these whackos claim to have it. It's usually centered around a specific traumatic event, usually one in which there is a loss of control, and not a generalized sort of trauma over being ill-treated as a child or what have you. It's the one that gives you flashbacks from being in a freak car accident or exploded by an IED in the sandbox. It can be very serious because people with it can legit dissociate and have flashbacks where they think they're back in the event, and that can be distressing, if not dangerous for them and potentially others. It's a very serious thing and not at all on the same level as your mom making snide comments.

I guess they like to claim it because it's something people generally recognize as severe and they want people to take them seriously about being a wounded bird.

Guy wants to detransition, and his wacky wife will likely push him back into trannydom for those sweet, attention points.




I have a feeling that there are quite a few couples out there, whether lesbian or straight, where the transing is quietly pushed by the partner.

So, she realized she's into faggy weirdo men and not normal people? Lady, it's an insult to lesbians to say your BF getting bitch tits makes you exclusively attracted to women. It seems to be one of those rare cases of some lady who is into feminized men for whatever whack reason. If you were really a lesbian you wouldn't be with a man and you wouldn't need to stay with him to wait and come out as a lesbian. You would be a lesbian regardless of who you were with. Sexuality doesn't require you to actively be in a relationship.

Just get real with yourself that you like effeminate, androgynous men. What your BF wants is self-improvement, and you want to drag him deeper into the fetish for your own "opportunity". Quite vile, TBH.
