I usually like to keep this page 100% devoted to my music, but in honor of #DetransitionAwarenessDay, and the fact that my personal experiences have shaped my art, I'm going to share today that I am a detransitioned woman. 🧵
I struggled with dysphoria and not feeling at home in my body since I was 5 years old. A lot of it had to do with me being a sensitive, eccentric child who was bullied a lot (I now know that I am probably undiagnosed autistic.)
At 13, I found out about transgenderism from a site online. From that point on, I started believing that my mental health issues were caused by my being born in the wrong body. I came out to my parents, but they didn't affirm me & were afraid for me to undergo medical changes.
I am a 26 year old trauma survivor. I transitioned with testosterone at 19, a double mastectomy at 20, and de-transitioned at 22 when I was diagnosed with CPTSD from childhood abuse, abandonment, and the medicalization and identity crisis. #IAmDetrans #DetransAwarenessDay… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
I was diagnosed on the autism spectrum and with an endocrine disorder called PCOS, both of which affected my mental and physical health severely. I experienced chronic psychological, emotional, and verbal abuse throughout my development, and had an attachment disorder.
I experienced suicidal ideation, severe depression, anxiety, and social isolation from age 12 until 22, resulting in complex PTSD and subsequent traumas from coping poorly with the initial childhood trauma (substance abuse, abusive relationships, love addiction, self-harm.)
