About me
I was born male and my journey started with a deep discomfort in my own skin, which I now see was fueled by a low opinion of men and a lack of self-love. I transitioned, had surgeries, and lived as a woman for years, but my health collapsed without testosterone. Introducing it back was like waking up, restoring my energy and mental clarity. I now understand I was always a feminine man and that the idea I could become a woman was a powerful fantasy. I am detransitioning, dealing with the permanent changes from surgery, but finally learning to love and accept myself as the man I am.
My detransition story
My whole journey started with a deep discomfort in my own skin, but I now see it was never about actually being a woman. I was born male, and for most of my life, I felt like a very feminine person trapped in a male body. I hated the idea of being a man because I had a low opinion of men in general. I was raised by a single mother after she divorced my father, who was physically abusive and had molested a girl. I was taught, by proxy, that men were bad. I had a serious lack of self-love and I now recognize I had narcissistic traits.
I started dressing in female clothes from a very young age, around four years old. For a long time, I was convinced this was proof of a female brain inside me. I now believe the driving force behind my transition was autogynephilia (AGP), which is a sexual kink where a man is aroused by the idea of himself as a woman. Mixed with my low self-esteem and other issues, it created a powerful fantasy that I eventually tried to live out.
Seven years ago, I socially transitioned and started taking estrogen. I was absolutely certain I was a woman. I even changed my name to Sara. Eventually, I had both top surgery and bottom surgery. For a while, I lived fully as a woman. But over time, my physical and mental health seriously declined. Having no testosterone in my body made me weak, emotionally unstable, and killed my sex drive. I felt like I was pretending to have a libido. My body just wasn't made to run without testosterone.
The turning point came when I started wanting to have at least a female level of testosterone to simulate a female hormone profile better. But the more testosterone I introduced, the better I felt. I ended up injecting a healthy male dose, and it was like waking up. My energy levels, sex drive, and mental clarity came roaring back. I started lifting weights 5-6 days a week, eating a clean diet focused on red meat and fish, and avoiding processed vegetable oils. I felt amazing for the first time in a long time.
I realized I couldn't go back to estrogen. It was poisoning me. I came to understand that I am, and always was, a feminine man. The idea that I could become a woman was a fantasy. We can't change our sex. I now see "gender" as just another word for personality. It's a social construct, not something real or tangible. There's nothing wrong with a man having a feminine personality or liking feminine things. The problem was my lack of self-love, which made me seek a complete escape from being a man.
I am now detransitioning. I'm stuck with the physical changes from my surgeries; I have breasts and have had my genitals altered. I refer to my body as mutilated, and I have regrets about the permanent changes, especially the surgeries. If I had had a proper therapist who challenged my beliefs instead of just validating them, I believe I would still have my penis. But I don't regret the journey because it led me to where I am now, finally learning to love myself.
I still have dysphoria, and I still struggle with suicidal thoughts, but I understand them now and don't let them control me. I'm keeping my name, Sara, because it's who I am now, and I'm embracing my femininity as a man. I'm in a relationship with a man, and I present in a male-ish way, though my breasts seem ridiculous to me now. I plan to get top surgery to remove them.
My thoughts on gender are simple: it doesn't matter. I care about people as individuals. I believe men who identify as women are just feminine men, and that's okay. What's not okay is the medicalization and the harmful treatments sold to vulnerable people like I was. I benefited enormously from stopping hormones, adopting a healthy diet, and returning to a natural testosterone profile. I am a man, and I'm finally okay with that.

I'm in a relationship with a man. I could imagine if it didn't work out, it would definitely be pretty much out of the realm of possibility finding a partner that suits me. I understand and that's the price I have to pay for my stupidity. But at least I now love myself for the first time in my life.
I present male'ish breasts at the moment seem a bit ridiculous but that will be taken care of.
You have to temmebyyou were there at one point and some of them eventually will be where you are now.
I used to Soley be attracted to trans people romantically but after detransition my attraction went over to just healthy testosterone based feminine men.
I think my ick with transwomen is the amount of mental illness pretty much each one of us has. They are not good for romantic relationships as a man with no libido (they will say they have libido but we all know it's a fake one) just isn't going to give those same connections that form for those with love language being sex/intimacy. We become weak, sick, immune compromised all for the name of feminine aesthetics. Also once you study the DSM-5 and cluster B personality disorders, you'll see transgender women are rife with narcissism. Those are not attractive traits.
From this point on its only going to be healthy well balanced people with proper hormone profiles for me.
This is pure gold. All the internal shame forcing us to bend this way and that for acceptance when we really are something so much more real.
This is exactly how I feel. Estrogen poisoned my mind and made my body very weak.
Back on testosterone I'm a new man. A strong but feminine man keeping my new feminine name. Dressing how I want to dress in what I like absent the toxicity of the trans title.
I wish you well in your new you. Self acceptance is everything.
More kids growing up antisocial because social media equates to an avenue where antisocial are encouraged and welcomed without show of worth for instant friendship and what they see as positive reinforcement for our queer quirks.
I hope that sentence was at least a touch smaller than the maximum tolerable amount😬.
From my experiences, we are all just very feminine guys or guys that get excited by feminine things including fantasizing it. And you know what? Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I'm somewhat feminine but also like having big muscles even though I realize or just finally admit, I'm just a man who happens to be fem when not being sporty.
I won't stop being me, I'm just going to be me with healthy body healing and mentally stabilizing testosterone.
So definitely doubt. It's healthier to doubt than to modify your hormones profile outside of eating clean (meats and fruits are great!). Before anyone should start playing around with hormones, be as clean and healthy as you can. You never know, maybe you'll be happy loving yourself if the body you love is working amazing. It's ok to embrace fem styles as a man. Just be happy you're also a man.
Your first mistake is wanting to be part of social media. That whole place is filled with narcissism.
If you want to play in a pool of sharks, don't be surprised when you get bit.
While it's very entertaining to watch certain people's YouTube channels depending on the topics and your interests, a lot of it is s*** with s***** people. When I dettansitioned, I deleted pretty much all of my social media except for my tictok Channel which is basically dirt biking through Forest trails. Hard to get s***** people commenting by just having GoPro video of me flying through trees 🤣
You've always felt like a girl. Even in "boy mode". Think about it...
You feel like you 100% of the time your whole life. You are a girl. You've always been a girl. Therefore logically you have always "felt" like a girl.
Start thinking in terms of masculine and feminine energy. Girls and boys can be in either their masculine energy or feminine energy. Start basking in your feminine energy. Research it and enjoy womanhood.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being a feminine man. They're are some difficulties depending on your sexuality regarding romantic companionship. If you're straight, it's a bit harder finding a compatible match. If gay, not so much trouble there.
But other than that, it's very very very much okay to just be yourself. They world is much more accepting of feminine men and masculine women. Just be true and honest.
It's called self love.
It's ok to be a feminine man. After almost 8 years and having multiple surgeries to make me look female, I realize I'm just a feminine gay'ish man. I still have dysphoria but I am making the smart decision to not make choices based on feelings anymore. Everytime I do that, things long term go bad
Make based choices that use common sense. We can't "transition" that's impossible. We can only pretend. Pretending for so long just makes us realize we aren't in reality anymore.
Let's stop pretending. You are a man. And you aren't a manly man and that's ok. I'm a feminine man and I love the small amounts of makeup and feminine hair and clothes... But I'm done pretending I'm a women. It's not right nor fair to actual women.
Transitioned 7 years ago. I knew why I was doing it too. We kind of all do it for the same reason. Generally sexually based on the male to female side. We all knew we were women inside....
After my bottom and top surgery, having relationships and intimacy both with and without a penis, the declining physical and mental health of having no testosterone (it really effects the emotional stability), and just pretending I still had a real sex drive, I just couldn't do it anymore.
It started with wanting at least a female dose of testosterone so I could at least really simulate female hormones profile properly. After that the more testosterone I had, the better I felt. I ended up injecting a healthy male dose and I felt whole again.
I realized I'm just a very feminine gay male that now has a mutilated body. But at least my energy levels, mental capacity and emotions and physical health are all back.
Oh fyi, this was all possible because eating clean and lots of red meat. No vegetable oils. All this really helped clear my mind.
