🧵1/ "Milo" from MTV's 2016 documentary "Transformation" is detransitioning. "I feel like I've kind of suppressed a lot of trauma...from when I was a teenager going through puberty & I was bullied at school by other girls for being kind of weird & stuff."

2/ "Also, just feeling like I was going to be an object for men if I kept my body the way it was. Which I know now isn't true."

3/ "This whole time, I've kind of thought less of women, as much as I hate to say it. I've always kind of thought of women as 'less than'."

"This whole time, I've been a woman- & all of these thought that I had as a teenager were thoughts coming from a girl's mind."

4/ "I think I was misguided...I think I was rushed into treatment before I explored all possible avenues of my feelings. I think I was also afraid to admit that I was uncomfortable with sexuality."

5/ "I have all of these feelings- still, to this day- that I never worked through or addressed as a teenager. They are still there."

"I completely regret everything I have done."
"I just am exhausted."

6/ "I'm heartbroken. I don't want to be made into a horror story. I don't want my story to be politicized."

"I know I cant blame myself, because I was a teenager, and I thought this was what the solution would be- but it's not."

7/ Milo went on testosterone at age 14 (7.5 years ago). She had a double mastectomy at 16, a hysterectomy- due to terrible pain- at 21, then one of her ovaries ruptured and had to be removed. She thinks she may be autistic. #detrans
