LMAO it's funny, bc you could see the entire trans thing itself as natural selection. Even the alleged 'saved' trans kid would still be sterilized and thus selected out of the gene pool. 'I don't care if everyone is sterilized as long as one person feels they were sterilized for good reason.' Absolutely deranged, but their ideology is hypocritical and anti-human so this is not surprising at all. Every trans person is a potential detransitioner, if they look deep enough.

It's annoying and frustrating, but at the end of the day they are living a lie and will have to confront these thoughts within themself at some point. Closing your eyes to detransition and writing it off as something entirely different from your own experience is just a way to delay the inevitable. Maybe they'll never detransition, but they won't be happier in transition because nobody is happier living a lie, so they will either live an unhappy life where they lash out at others for their own gender insecurity, or they'll realize how stupid they are being and move on like the rest of us. Transgender ideology is built on pillars of sand, it's annoying watching their hypocrisy and shenanigans, but it's all a sign that this won't last, because it can't stand up to any honest discussion and people see through that.

This is what having medical transition as an option at all did to us, not reasonably excluding a male from a woman's sport. This was never an issue until people started trooning, it isn't about your body being 'stereotypically feminine' it's about whether or not your testosterone exposure gave you a physical advantage over other women. Trans women definitely have the organ size, bone structure, and some of the muscle mass of their natal sex, being on estrogen alone is not enough to level the playing field for someone who has gone through male puberty. To suggest that just taking estrogen alone is enough to reverse the processes of male puberty and make it fair for them to compete with natal women is pseudoscientific.

What fear mongering is there about detransition? Just acknowledging it at all as a risk? We moan all the time in here abt how there isnt enough of a discussion about detransitoin, most people blindly believe the less than 1% statistic and dont look into it any further even though we do not have conclusive data to make that claim. My main factor for detransitioning was realizing I had joined a cult that preys on my insecurities, hope this helps👍

A kid saying they wish to be a girl isn't something you need to give any more thought to, kids say ridiculous things all the time. I don't believe in medicalizing gender dysphoria at all, but even in cases where people argue it is necessary it is when they are in such deep distress about their sex that they would (allegedly) sooner kill themself then live another day as their sex. This is not the same as some kid saying they want to be a girl because girls are pretty. Kids are silly, enjoy your kids silly moments, don't take this as a "sign" and end up creating something that isn't there. Being transitioned as a minor is such a uniquely perverse and traumatizing experience, don't inflict that onto your child.

Yeah I totally get you there. I kinda did basically socially isolate myself except a few friends and family for a while, I don't know that it helped but it was what I felt I needed at the time. At the end of the day, at least you know now and didn't live your entire life as this. It feels like coming back from being a junkie almost, lol, like sobering up and feeling the shame of all your actions. This will pass, the way you are feeling now is just all the compounded shame you never let your self feel while you were in la la land. It's like your bodies way of telling you this isn't good for you or what you want, but you were denying it for so long that you are feeling it all now. If people could accept you doing something so crazy, of course they will accept you coming back from it. One day at a time my friend, but this is all just a part of healing and moving on. Shrooms help if you like that kinda stuff

You can't customize your hormones, taking just a bit of E is not better for you than being fully on it, you still aren't producing testosterone at your regular capacity and then you will also be low in estrogen. You need a dominant sex hormone, being low in either because you want to be feminized is just going to give you osteoporosis and blood clots. That is not very feminine or cute. I am certain you can find a way to cope with your body and stop destroying it, other than destroying it in a different and more convoluted way.

Lol 10-15 years might be too late to start worrying about it. Sure, many of the risks of transgender medicine are more long-term, but people still do develop them as young adults. If you wait 10-15 years to worry about it and find you have lowered bone density or increased clotting or weakened organs, even if you start addressing it, you still may have lasting effects. You also need to consider that you aren't even planning to use this already risky medicine in the way it is intended to be taken, have you talked it over with your Doctor? Your bones are still developing in thickness and density into your late 20s, and the sex horomones you are messing with aid in this process. You might mess up your organs and bones permanently, but you also might not, if that is a risk you are willing to incur over something as silly as a minor cosmetic difference in your appearance, then I hope it all works out for you and you find happiness.

If you are having this much doubt pre-surgery, just imagine how overwhelming and sickening this doubt will be once you cut your penis off. Detransition seems so much more daunting than it ends up being when you look back on it, but if you are already this certain you aren't trans, there is nothing else you can do. Detransition is your only next move if you value your life and your body, even if it is hard and painful. You've transitioned once in a non progressive area, if you can make it through that there is absolutely no way you can't make it through detransition. You are stronger than you think, and we are rooting for you please don't get the surgery and please listen to your doubts 🙏 praying for you

Being transgender is a fetishization of the opposite sex and thus all of their functions. I doubt they are conciously thinking of it as a fetish, they just think they want to be a girl and don't fully understand why they feel that way. They haven't realized that the "euphoria" they get from imagining birth is just sexual gratification they get from picturing themselves as the other sex.
