About me
I started identifying as trans when I was 12, and my parents quickly put me on puberty blockers and then estrogen. Looking back, it all felt rushed and I never had a chance to truly question it or understand the permanent effects. The hormones changed my body in ways I now hate, like giving me breasts and a higher voice, and have left me with serious health problems. I stopped everything at 16 and now realize my discomfort wasn't a true identity, but a confusion that was medicalized too quickly. I feel like a victim of a system that failed to protect me, and I'm now trying to heal from the damage.
My detransition story
My whole journey with transition and detransition has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. I started when I was just 12 years old. I was a kid who didn't really understand what was happening, and my parents took the lead on everything. I began identifying as trans and was put on puberty blockers almost immediately. By the time I was 13, I was taking estrogen.
Looking back, it all felt rushed. I didn't have the chance to really question it or understand the long-term effects. The process felt more about affirming a feeling I had rather than treating a deep condition. I now believe that what I experienced was more of a discomfort with puberty and maybe some internal confusion, not a lifelong identity. I think the system failed me by not being stricter. We need to discourage transition as a first option and make sure psychiatrists have much stricter policies for diagnosing real gender dysphoria.
The medical changes happened fast. I did voice therapy to lighten my voice, and even now that I’ve stopped hormones, my voice is still permanently higher and lighter than it should be. I developed breasts from the estrogen, which I now have to hide because they cause me a lot of distress. I hate them. My face is rounder, and it makes people mistake me for a girl who is trying to look like a boy, instead of just seeing me as a male. My body feels scarred and ruined.
I stopped everything recently, at 16. Detransitioning has been like a wake-up call that made me question everything much more deeply. I now have serious health complications from the medical intervention. My testosterone levels are way below average, I’m much shorter than I was supposed to be, and I will most likely be infertile. It’s devastating to know that a choice made for me as a child has permanently affected my ability to have kids one day.
I don't think I ever had true gender dysphoria. I think I got gender dysphoria from transitioning. I started to feel wrong in my body because of the female characteristics the hormones gave me. I began to feel uneasy and uncomfortable in a way I never had before medical intervention.
My thoughts on gender have changed a lot. I think a big problem is that we've made gender into something it's not. There are tomboys and femboys who can be masculine or feminine without needing to change their bodies or medicalize their identity. I wish we could change the wording from "gender" to "gender roles"; I think that would clear up a lot of confusion. The community has changed, too. It used to be for people who were truly suffering, but now it feels like it's been taken over by people who just want to be different or invent new identities. This overshadows the people who genuinely need help.
I have a lot of regrets. I regret that it was so rushed. I regret that I wasn't challenged more to think about it. I feel like a victim of a system that was too quick to affirm instead of care. I feel angry at the medical community that allowed this to happen to a child. Now, I even feel uneasy when I see a trans flag or meet someone who says they're trans. It’s not that I hate them; it’s a trauma response from what I went through.
I found a lot of comfort and clarity by talking to others who have gone through the same thing here. In other spaces, sharing my story got me banned, which showed me the true side of some people. It helped me make up my mind and realize I’m not alone.

I got Puberty blockers and HRT Since I was a child and now I have medical issues with my ability to get kids, im also way Smaller now and will most likely not grow to my expected hight. I recently talked with a doctor again saying my testosterone is way bellow avarage. How much do people ignore to stick to there Hypocritical morals?
The Trans Community in recent years has changed a lot because it went from people with Dysporia to ,,I want to be different,, and the people who want to be different and invent Biological Invalid Identities are the loudest and are overshadowing the sane trans peeps. Gender dysphoria is a real diagnosis but it should be chalanged to make sure that you have it. When I started transitioning, I was 12 and started Hormones at 13, which was completely rushed if you observe it afterwards. There was even once talk about Medication for Genderdysporia, but since then, people that changed their gender won't exist anymore. So Trans Activists talk against stuff like this, even if real Trans people would be blessed by it. But, Yea, Making a flag for everything and making others validate you because everything is valid is Just Cult behavior.
I get you, I transitioned with 12 and go hormones with 13 and now with 16 Stoping I still get people asking me if I was FtM instead of just a male. For me my body is Scared and ruined, having Breasts that I need to hide, a voice that got very high from voice therapie and my face is rounder making me get missgendered to a point where people dont take me sereusly. The sentence "all wounds heal with time" really makes me think about how long it would take to come back from this but I think the best aproach is to search for comfort and people that expirience the same. It helped me a lot giving my story here while the same story got me banned from sub's that once supportet me. It show's the actual side of people and helped me to make up my mind
Yea, I agree to some extent. Personally, I'm just going with science and what current conditions are and don't follow ideologies because they are mostly bad against science. Science says that gender dysphoria is an actual condition. Homosexuality is normal in nature and so I stick with that.
I know that, but currently I feel uneasy when I see a trans flag or judge instantly when someone is saying there trans and I know transphobia is not an actual phobia but rather Transcism I still feel uneasy with trans people If you get what I'm trying to point out
I always feeel very emotional about the topic since I got transitioned as a child and I wish I just could ignore the conversation sometimes but I feel like the people who want to transition kids and make everything more uncontrolled are a loud minority since a lot of trans people just live there life without trying to be SJW's.
I will disagree, there is a lot of evidence in science that genderdysporia exists and I would not approach this issue by banning transitions. We need to make sure that only the right people get to transition, make psychiatrists have a stricter policy on diagnosing gender dysphoria and not encourage transition but discourage it. Banning transition is extremely bad for real Trans people since, as you said, the suicide rate is extremely high, but banning transition would make the problem just worse.
TL;DR
Discourage transition and make a diagnosis stricter instead of banning it.
Whats transhobic about this sub? I made a post about it once and most say its not but people are to sensetive. I agree with them, being critical of the medical system that brought u in this state makes u angry and I can understand if some say trans is not a thing BUT, I would still say that people that are actualy suffering from gender dysporia should get the treatment they deserve but if you validate everything then people get hurt from the treatment. Its not transpobic to be protective
To be fair, transitioning is a treatment method for gender dysphoria, and I don't see it as anything you treat someone with if you don't have it. There is tomboys and femboys that can be masculine or feminine without transitioning and that is slowly dying out since people make gender to be something more then it is. If we at some point developed dysporia dampeners that would be a huge win for the trans community becouse u wouldn't need to transition to treat dysphoria. So yea it would be great if stuff like this gets developed!
Yea I mean I don't think GD gets better from pronounce but rather going into care, that's why I'm also skeptical about this Gender euphoria becoise it could also just be you being affirmed, like you would be wearing nice clothing and someone giving you a compliment
