I'm not denying that there are borderline delusional teens being coerced into trooning out - but it happens way less often than with the male counterparts.
And their male counterparts are more likely to complete suicide too, so yeah.

Less detrans voices.
I can't remember what's more popular: MtF or FtM. The former is more popular over 20 and the later is mostly teens iirc. But that was a while back.
A girl I was friends with during my formative years posted a picture on Facebook the other day just after having her healthy breasts butchered clean off...
I haven't spoken to her in over ten years, but... I don't know, I shouldn't have felt it like the kick in the gut I did.
I always felt solidarity and sisterhood with her as a kid, there weren't many of us that weren't into girly shit and seeing how brave she was gave me the courage to be myself just a little, just as much as I'd allow myself....
I can't believe she drank the koolaid and I'd love to know who fed it to her.
I hate TRA's, deep down I think they ALL know they're lying through their teeth just to be on the 'right side of history', just like the Nazis they're so keen to compare everyone else to. At least there's a bleak irony in their seeming lack of awareness to soften the blow.
I've still felt sick since I've found out.
I would too. Watching someone give in to an enemy, even if invisible, is crushing.
Tomboys and non girly girls really need to stick together. Life and social biology makes you want to be on teams, the key trick is to make your own. But its hard when women are more susceptible to other's opinions and feeling like we need to belong to something bigger. Its terrifying to think all those like you get snuffed out by a need to conform to something they don't need to.
Basically, I feels
I've always wondered what it would be like to see a girl that you've fucked full-on transition into becoming a "man". Even if you weren't that much into her, that would probably still be pure psychological trauma, akin to Oedipus finding out that he fucked his mother.
Probably depends on the relationship you had with her. If you were still her friend, then it would be complex of course, but if it was more of a passing thing, then closer to "what the fuck" I'm guessing. If she was a fucking nut case before then its surprising but not really because bitches be crazy.
seemingly out of nowhere (seriously it’s like my buddy was replaced with a pod person) she starts telling everyone she now identifies as a non binary bisexual transman, starts listing her preferred pronouns all over (even started wearing a fucking pin on her jacket with he/him on it) makes no effort at all to try and pass as male and sends a group message to all her friends telling us what her preferred names are (there was like 12 names there for Christ’s sake)
12 names like 12 disciples... Christ as in Jesus Christ... your friend must be Jesus coming back to life
Once you get to 12 names you have to either pair them down yourself or just be content that your friend will still call you by your old name. That's just too many choices. It's a shame she got volatile, she didn't even stand one deadnaming. Sorry about that, she either is having a weird ass crisis or was planning this for a while as a weird troon baptism to get away from her old self. Wild shit.
My once lesbian friend took to Facebook this week to talk about being a "trans fag" because she's a gay man now. Sigh. I hate this world.
Every fucking month another person I know comes out as trans. It gives me so much anxiety. Like, everyone I know will transition at some point, so I guess I just shouldn't try to get too close to anybody.
And I know this is hypocritical because I used to identify as trans... But God damn, how can nobody I know see how fucked this whole thing is?
You went through it so you can say you see what they saw and still got out of it to be fair.
The thing is, I see a lot of detransitioners go on to have 'reverse dysphoria' and then acting like troons of never accepting their own responsibility, playing the victim, and whining for social media clout point. Even if they don't identify with trans anymore, they still have the mental issue that made them troon out in the first places. A lot of time they still have delusional ideas about their bodies being something that borders on lunacy. I wouldn't say that this is managing. Many want to get cosmetic procedures done - and this feed into medical establishment cashing in another trend again.
I do understand that if they've got their gonad removed, they need to be on hormones for the rest of their life... but not the cosmetic. There's a difference from truly accepting yourself as selling your body to the system, and not all can be returned. So simply seeing detransition as a matter of being another hollow 'brave and stunning'.
All I wish is that those people could accept their body as what it is. And superficial traits from transitioning doesn't stop them from being men/women, if they're born as one. the appearance shouldn't matter.
Man, accepting your body for what it is is one of humanity's oldest struggles. Ever since oog got jealous that ook liked unga more for unga's unique hair color, several hundreds of descendants been chasing that dragon in a sense.
They aren't going to accept it until they mature enough to that point, and its a hard point to reach for them all things considered. Maybe one day, but don't bank on it for most. Most people hate admitting things are their fault, it will extend to the body as well.
Thank you, I appreciate it and I'm sure they would too. I'm not someone who pulls punches or condones woke Twitter/Tumblr shit and T knew it thanks to what I was known for when we met- that may be the reason why she let me get off relatively scott-free and hasn't gone after me despite me not blocking her accounts.
She actually apologized on her Twitter as of late (while not excusing it on her mental illnesses, much to my surprise), but the way she talked about the shit she did to H was like she was just a bad friend then a GF who abused her. And all the while it was her friends that forgave her and not...y'know, the people she actually hurt, but both of them cut off all contact with her, so I guess that's the only way she could apologize.
But if she really was sorry, she would have tried to distance herself from others who would only drag her down into the mire. She knew my stance on things like loli and shota and while she made a display of not letting that shit slide in her servers, she's still friends with a lot of degenerates who draw it, but hey, that's not my problem anymore.
Ofc.
She's not someone I'd count on having a redemption arc. Sometimes people do and it's impressive she even got a good apology off, but yeah, you know her.
If you're lucky, she'll swerve out of the loli/shota containment center and back to a group that gives her attention and love without it. If not, eugh, at least she's not your problem as you said.
