In recent years, there's been a growing trend of misguided individuals (predominately female) detransitioning after realising that being trans wasn't just working for them. While detransitioners and desisters are overwhelmingly female, male detransitioners and desisters exist even though there aren't as many. I happened to know someone who was an MTFTM desister that is now doing okayish??? Here's his story in full detail.
10 years ago, I had an ex-friend in my high school years who had serious issues both at home and in school. We had many fights and eventually fell out. He was to put it lightly, a VERY difficult kid. My ex-friend was often pretty defiant of authority and had a pretty sharp tongue, not just to me but my other classmates. I late found out he suffered from depression and his dad was in critical condition at the hospital (he told me this a few years later). I didn't really understand or know at the time He missed a few weeks of school and ended up having to be asked to leave at the end of the year because of how difficult he was to work with. He gave teachers a lot of trouble and was very close to getting an expulsion multiple times during the school year. The last I ever saw of him in person was at the beginning of the next school year and it looks like he was asked not to return in person.
Fast forward a year later, he changed his name and ended up transitioning and making a support account for transgender children. Mind you, he was a minor at the time when he was planning to be an MTF. All that really changed was his hairstyle way before any hormones so no physical alterations whatsoever. When I looked at the comments of the posts on the transgender children, most of them were downright unsupportive, claiming that he'd never be a woman and that he was messed up while a few said he was still valid. Nevertheless, he identified as being trans up until about 2018-2019 when he decided to legally change his name back to his original one. It turns out that he was just slightly gender-nonconforming/androgynous and didn't fit in the mold of his socially conservative friends and family while suffering from typical teenager issues, depression, and ADHD. During the time he was struggling with mental health issues, councillors and psychologists who didn't have the best intentions consulted him and most likely misled him into believing he was trans. He never took any hormones in the end, so he was lucky that he didn't end up doing any permanent damage to his body like becoming sterile as he was able to conceive with his wife. I think those negative comments on the posts, despite being harsh and unsympathetic, was a wake up call and stopped him from taking any serious risks that are irreversible.
I wonder how many people who have been duped by huge pharmaceutical companies and trans ideology are out there. I hope more detransitioners and desisters will speak out more and tell their truth and we prevent minors from making irreversible changes to their bodies that may not solve their problems at all.
EDIT: I decided to add the term "desister" for those who haven't medically transitioned before deciding to revert back and fixed a few errors.
