About me
I am a masculine woman who is now happily married. My journey started when the internet convinced me that my discomfort meant I was trans, and I followed that script without being challenged. I don't fully regret it, but I wish someone had asked me the hard questions back then. I've learned that you don't need to fit a perfect box to be loved for who you are. Now, I'm at peace, having realized I was just a different kind of woman all along.
My detransition story
Of course. Here is a summary of my experience based on my own comments.
My whole journey with gender was complicated, but it ended with me realizing I was a masculine woman all along. I was never a very feminine person, and I'm still the kind of woman who gets mistaken for a guy pretty often. That used to bother me, but it doesn't anymore.
Looking back, I think the internet played a huge part in confusing me. It created this echo chamber where if you felt different or uncomfortable with yourself, the only answer presented was that you must be trans. There was no room for other ideas. If a doctor or therapist had questioned that desire instead of immediately affirming it, they would have been called transphobic and "cancelled." I believe we created a world where wanting something means you should immediately get it, without any real challenge. I wanted to be seen a certain way, and I passionately went after it without stopping to think if it was really the right path for me. The system didn't fail me; I was just following a script I found online.
I don't regret my transition entirely because it led me to where I am now, but I do regret not having someone ask me the hard questions. I've had an amazing life. I had a fantastic time when I was single, and I've been happily married to my husband for six years. My experience taught me that people like people for who they are. Men will like you, and you don't have to fit into a perfect box of what a woman or a man is "supposed" to be.
My advice to anyone struggling is to shift your focus away from the internet and onto your real life. Get out more. Don't get so caught up in the small details of your appearance. It's a difficult thing to do, but you're the only one who can take control of your life. Ultimately, I wish everyone peace and happiness, whatever that looks like for them.
Here is a timeline of my journey based on what I've shared:
My Age | Event |
---|---|
Early adulthood | Lived as a single woman, had an "AMAZING" life, embracing my masculine traits. |
Six years ago (from 2019) | Married my husband, continuing to live as a masculine woman. |
Present (2019) | Reflecting on my past gender confusion, now comfortable and secure in my identity as a woman. |

I’m not in any position to comment, but you sound like a wonderful person to be around. It sounds like you have a loving relationship with a great girlfriend that supports you and loves YOU.
I do hope that you find happiness, wherever that road may take you.
I am a masculine-ish type of woman. I can roll it up, but not a day goes by that I’m not mistaken for a guy. Been married to my husband for six years and had an AMAZING single life. I’m saying all of this to say, “don’t let movies or anything tell you what people like. People like people. And men will like you.”
This! And get out more. Don’t delve so much in to your hair no longer being lush and full, or the beard stubble. I’ve seen lots of people give you this same advice but you seem to brush it off every time.
Your focus HAS to shift. And it’s going to be difficult, but in the end you’re the only person that can take control over your life. The internet isn’t going to do it.
I do wish you the best, but most of all I wish you peace!
“The system did not fail you. You wanted what you wanted and you set out passionately to attain it at all costs.”
THIS!!!
This needs to be a signed document every single time a prescription is given out for gender dysphoria or hormone treatments. The patient should have to write that statement out and then sign it.
Nobody failed you. The internet created the greatest echo chamber in history. The internet also created a world where if you disagree with, argue with, or don’t fully embrace something you are an -ist or -phobe.
We created this world. Now we have to decide what we will either create or destroy next.
Unnecessarily operating or medicating anyone is wrong. It’s horrible and should be prosecuted and stopped.
I just wonder what would happen in this Internet society we live in that if a person went to a therapist or a doctor and expressed ... I don’t know ... and the doctor didn’t immediately affirm that persons wants or desires and immediately write a prescription - what would happen? Would that doctor be labeled as transphobic because they didn’t believe something you said or desired?
We live in this “cancel culture” that the moment something isn’t openly celebrated its doomed. And the world will know it through Yelp and Google reviews, blogs, Twitter, vlogs ... you name it.
But we created that. The I-thought-it-I-want-it-I-am-this ... and we want it NOW!
