1/10 "At the age of about 14, I gradually began to question my female gender. In retrospect, it strikes me that I always wanted to get away from something I hated, rather than actually wanting to get towards something. That makes a huge difference to me nowadays. 2/10

TW: Physical and sexual abuse, self-harming behaviours.

"I'm a 24 year old detransitioned female.
I was a tomboy growing up and aware of my attraction to other girls at an early age. 1/13 My mom remarried and I began living a nightmare of physical and sexual abuse from her new husband. I didn't know how to tell anyone and almost thought maybe it was normal. 2/13

1/10 “From age 14 I started to feel disconnected from my body and that there was something wrong about my strong gender nonconformity. 2/10

This is the 30th #detransition story that we've received! Thank you to all the inspiring detransitioners and desisters who contributed since the beginning of our project😊

"I am a bisexual woman in her 30s, who used to consider herself as genderfluid trans for about 8 years. 1/9 As far as I can remember, I've always been attracted to women more than to men... but I didn't feel allowed to be attracted to other females. 2/9

“I was abused and isolated as a kid. I did not have many friends. I went to college and found my tribe by starting a black woman’s organization, but it wasn’t long before white trans people came and bullied us into letting them in. 1/8 This was the first time I came in contact with the authoritarian nature of the community. At the time I was honored and even joined an organization to educate about gender and sexuality on campus. In college I identified as non-binary transmasculine person. 2/8

"I'm 30 years old. In total I spent around 6 years on T. For a short while I was so happy with the results. But it didn't last. T made me really hairy (like bigfoot hairy) and acne prone. I hated the bottom growth (still do). And I hated how... emotionless it made me feel. 1/10 I got a hysterectomy in 2018 because T had caused severe uterus and vaginal atrophy and pain. I bled so much after the hysterectomy I nearly died. It was traumatic. 2/10

This is Carol’s story. We would like to send her an immense amount of support and thank her for being so open with us about her experiences. ❤️

1/10 “Transgender identity offered me an explanation for why I was wrong. I’ve felt different my whole life. I never felt like I was really a girl because I never seemed to be able to act like the other girls acted. 2/10

"I grew up in a city in southern Germany. My childhood was great until I joined a GNC-phobic and later homophobic school in my early teen years.
1/8 I became anorexic, later depressive and suicidal. My mother had hypothyroidism, she was depressed and emotionally abusive. By age 16 I went to the youth care and moved out. Two schools later I quit school and lived on the streets in Europe for a year.

This is a really inspiring story that was sent to us by another detransitioner. There is not just one way to deal with gender dysphoria, and we are happy to welcome KJ’s perspective and experience on our page. 1/8 “I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted out of transition. I wanted to feel comfortable in a body that never felt like mine. I wanted to feel confident and happy. 2/8

“When I was 14 I started dating my first real boyfriend. He quickly became very disrespectful of my boundaries, groping me and saying things I was very embarrassed by. This turned into a couple situations of blatant molestation. 1/6 I was already more masculine than most girls my age and that paired with being violated had me thinking I was never meant to be a girl. I’d developed a hatred and fear of my body. I’d disassociated from it in a way. 2/6

Today we would like to share this inspiring story that was sent to us by Bray.
Happy 30th birthday to her, and congrats for living as her authentic self ❤️ 1/9 “I will be 30 years old next month. I have been looking forward to this birthday for a long time. And even more so now that I am living my most authentic, true life.” 2/9

I had the opportunity to be part of Laura Dodsworth’s project about detransition featured by The Sunday Times Magazine. I am glad with the way I and other female detransitioners were given that space to share our personal experiences. I’m feeling proud that we’ve done this. 1/5

I have to admit that I was bothered by the title “The Detransitioners - What happens when trans men want to become women again”, and I have to say something about it. 2/5

Recently, we gave some of our time to the BBC World Service, which resulted in a written piece and a radio documentary about our personal detransition experiences and Post Trans. You can find both on the link below. 1/5
bbc.com/news/stories-5… We are very happy and proud of the journey our project has made. A lot of interviews, conferences, exchanges and especially human connections have grown from it over the last 7 months. 2/5
