Literally makes zero sense. There’s also this Joe Rogan interview clip that’s really good and he asks someone something like “okay, a kid is born a boy but identifies as a girl and you’re saying that makes them a girl, so why give them hormones if you say they’re already a girl?” The interview was stumped.

If the logic goes you are a boy if you say you are a boy, but simultaneously you are medically transitioning to appear more like a boy, then you admit what a boy is, yet the trans logic counteracts that. And then on top of that there’s a lot of trans people who flat out just say gender isn’t real which also counteracts everything. Makes no sense

Honestly i loved it. Finally having captured on film a whole slew of progressive people with credible titles who refuse to be logical is both mind boggling, mind numbing and frustrating. But these people are everywhere! It heavily resonated, shocked me with the background research that has given way to gender ideology, and disturbed me at the lack of research on hormones as well as the studies that have concluded how horrible they can be for peoples health long term. How has common sense become so radical? I’m happy this film is out there because it shows how pressing information like that in this film are in this day. We need this type of content in society. It’s inspired me to want to speak my truth and be part of the needed voices rooted in reality that actually give a hoot about the safety of children and their healthy development. Makes me want to get his book for every child. And i guess I’ll be labeled transphobic. I’m heated rn i just finished watching it

Before I transitioned, I felt like I didn’t want to but that I had to as if I didn’t have a choice. It caused me great anxiety and depression. The cure? Stop, meditate, breathe. Listen to the song Vienna by Billie Joel. Listen to the song Let it Be by The Beatles. Stop the rush to make any moves forward in its tracks. Clear your mind. My best advice to you is go somewhere new, even if only for a day, that is out in the world with regular people, not an underground scene. And once you’re done there, go to another. And another. Get out in the world and out of the environment you’re used to. Observe. Breathe it all in. Don’t make any conclusions just take it in. This advice might seem unrelated to dealing with femininity, masculinity, etc. it is and it’s not. It is because it’s not. Your “identity” is more than your appearance (mannerisms, clothing, hair, expression). It’s about how you show up in the world and your core beliefs. Youre a soul in a body. What sounds like a healthy body. Once you take some time to yourself and clear your mind, look into how testosterone in females affects your heart, blood pressure, sleep apnea, vaginal atrophy, skeletal health

I’m so happy I acted against my ego and took back my brain to logic, even if it stings to accept my faults. Years down the line gender ideology will go down in the history books as a failure and I refuse to be part of it. Or maybe it won’t be documented like this and people won’t continue to come out of the wood work, but the fact I feel that way speaks volumes to me so i still refuse to sink with that ship

Basically same as what everyone said: wait on this. It sounds like everything happened fast and not that long ago. My sister gave me the advice- before it felt like I “needed” to have the mastectomy, but know that it’s not a need. It’s a want. This is also not a need, it’s a want. The want vs need is a change in mentality, and with time you’ll reach a stable place where you will know that your worth isn’t dependent on it. It’s a personal choice and having time on your side is really comforting. One day at a time

Insurance covers breast reconstruction. And honestly, some people don’t know what to say. Now, my parents who didn’t speak up, yes I have anger towards them for that because that’s their job in my opinion. But friends and stuff don’t have that responsibility. My friends told me they were worried about me but were advised that I had to be the one to figure it out. At the end of the day, they were right. And i did figure it out. So did you. You need to give yourself credit where credit is due. No one knows your struggle like you do. It’s not that they don’t care! What ifs will make you go crazy if you let them. Try to focus on the now

I keep hearing: heal/change the mind instead of changing your body, which raises the question how do you change your mind? Broadly asking the question- how do you change your mind- without necessarily focusing it about dysphoria, brings about answers like: new experiences, talking to people who disagree or are different than yourself, read about things to expand your knowledge etc.

The real answer is that changing your mind cannot be forced. It has to be natural and it comes with time and exposure to new things. I’m not necessarily telling you to “trust” the process, like this will be magic. But I’m saying to go off on a curious limb and allow yourself to be open minded. Observe different ideas and see how you feel. Being open to change is only the first step to actually changing. It’s a slow process but very worth it and brings a lot of peace in my experience. So yeah in a way it does require a leap of faith, but that is life.

Everything now a days is always- how can I achieve something in the fastest amount of time possible- but we’re not programmable machines, everyone’s brains are different and some things take experiences and processing those experiences to make seemingly unrelated things click.

Studies show people “grow” out of dysphoria, not “get rid of” dysphoria. I hope this helps

All i can really say here is you’re really not alone. I relate to everything. I heard someone say once, “if other people are going through it too, there can’t be something wrong with you.” There’s nothing wrong with the you inside. Or outside. You’re alive. Bruises look worse as they heal so this feels bad right now but getting real with yourself and your feelings is progress. Im in the exact same boat. Keep the faith, keep going. Everyone wants you to be happy and healthy.

Sorry if this is straight forward, but sounds like a pivotal moment or wake up call. I had many of those when I was in a very similar position to you. The, knowing I just didn’t fit, and observing is at the end of the day a powerful thing. I think you know what you need to do in your heart. Logistically, to detransition I was very lucky. I quit my job where everyone knew me as male and moved back home with my parents. I did a remote software engineering bootcamp for 40 hours a week for 3 months, going by my birth name and on camera, and spent months after applying to jobs. By the time I had a job, my hair was grown out a little bit and I started laser hair removal on my face, I had a new social media account with my birth name. Plus the time at home with my parents, though hard and needed to be temporary, was a blessing for getting back on my feet. Now, I am me. 2.5 years later, living out of my parents house with a good job. Try not to be sad about last night, but see it as a guiding light to where you want to be and figure out your game plan to get there. You have to think long term, have patience, have faith and know that this path will allow you to process in your own time, but believe me that healing is on the other side if you be good and honest to yourself. Take care

Maybe those questions aren’t meant to be offensive as you’re perceiving them. Odds are, they are trying to be respectful by asking and not assuming though the question is received as slightly jarring or insulting, it isn’t inherently insulting. I’m sorry to be blunt, but you are the person calling yourself an anomaly, repeating it to your conscious brain so your subconscious will think it too. You are accepting this to be true based on what you think others think. Even though you know for fact you’re not an anomaly. Many of us in here relate. Logic and emotion operate on different sides of the brain. And right now the emotion is strong. Feel it full, feel it through, and let your deep breathing do the rest. Surrender and your mind will lead you to the logic that’s in your side. Do not find reasoning to back your emotions (that you are an anomaly, an it, your life is over, you’ll never fit in) cause that’s all so far from the truth! Finding reasoning to back your emotions is like finding connections to make a conspiracy theory seem convincible. It’s a way to feel like you have more control in situations. Though you can’t control others you have the ability to control your reactions. Don’t give weight to the self hate. You’re more than that and you know it otherwise you wouldn’t be feeling self proclaimed pity or posting here. There is a part of you that is so hurt and deserves better. Find some real friends. They are out there. I consider me to be a real friend even though you don’t know me. You’re not alone not a chance
