Authenticity Assessment: Not Suspicious
Based on the provided comments, the account appears authentic and not a bot. The user ("x0rec") demonstrates a consistent, passionate, and highly specific worldview rooted in their personal experience of desisting after two years of social transition.
Red Flags for Inauthenticity: None. The comments show:
- Personal Narrative: A coherent, first-person account of their own history ("I luckily never went further than wearing make-up... snapped out of it early").
- Consistent Ideology: A deeply held belief system that frames transgender identity as a cult, demonic possession, or mental illness, which is a view expressed by some detransitioners/desisters.
- Emotional Investment: The language is emotionally charged ("fueled my rage," "sincerely hope") and shows a clear personal stake in the topic, consistent with someone who feels they have been harmed.
- Engagement with Community: They directly engage with other users' posts, offering advice and warnings based on their stated experiences.
While the views are extreme and contain conspiracy theories ("funded by satanists"), the passion and internal consistency are more indicative of a genuine, radicalized individual than an inauthentic account.
About me
I started questioning my identity as a man when I was 19 and felt lost, so I tried to live as a woman for two years without medical intervention. I now see my confusion came from low self-esteem and being influenced by a cult-like online community that encouraged me. I realized I could never truly change my male body and that this path was a dangerous lie, a belief strengthened by seeing friends suffer from surgical regret. I was able to detransition socially and have now spent the last five years living peacefully as a man again. I believe true strength is found in accepting the reality of your body and who you truly are.
My detransition story
My whole journey with this started when I was around 19. I was really lost and confused about myself. I never felt like I fit in with the typical idea of a man, and I started to believe that maybe I was meant to be a woman. I began experimenting with makeup and trying to block my testosterone, but I never took any hormones or had any surgeries. This phase lasted for about two years.
Looking back, I see now that a lot of my feelings came from a place of low self-esteem and not understanding how to process my emotions as a man. I think I was also heavily influenced online by the communities I was in; it felt like a cult where everyone was encouraging each other to go further. I got caught up in it, thinking it was the answer to my deep unhappiness.
What snapped me out of it was a major realization. I finally understood that no matter what I did, I could never actually become a woman. My DNA would always be male. The thought of trying to become some kind of “in-between” thing started to feel incredibly sick and wrong to me. This wasn’t a healthy path; it was a lie that was being sold to vulnerable people like me.
I also have a strong religious belief, and I now view my transition phase as a form of demonic possession or a severe spiritual sickness. I believe there are powerful, malicious forces funding and pushing this ideology to demoralize and confuse people. Seeing two of my friends from that time, who had gone through with surgeries, later take their own lives because of their deep regret, solidified for me how dangerous this path is.
I was lucky. I got out after only two years and I’ve now lived the last five years embracing life as a man. I don’t have any regrets about not transitioning medically because I saw the permanent damage it did to others. My detransition was entirely social—I just stopped presenting differently and stepped away from that entire community. I benefited from stepping back and educating myself, from seeing the whole thing for what it really is.
For anyone feeling lost, I want to say that you can wake up from this. Follow your conscience. The feeling that something is wrong is there for a reason. The people who encourage you to continue are not acting in your best interest; they are trying to validate their own choices. True strength comes from accepting the reality of your body and finding peace with who you truly are.
Here is a timeline of my journey:
| Age | Event |
|---|---|
| 19 | Began socially transitioning. Experimented with makeup and testosterone blockers. |
| 21 | Realized it was a lie and stopped. Began detransitioning socially. |
| 26 | Now. Have been living as a man again for 5 years and am at peace with my decision. |

Becoming? It's just getting more apparent.
If you've seen the waves of people who come here to 'troll' (basically deceive others that detransitioning is a bad idea, and that they should keep going there's a light at the end of the tunnel!), you would know just how far these sick people are willing to take it. Just look at some of the comments in this thread and you'll spot several potential detractors.
I'm not sure whether they've infiltrated this sub yet, but plenty of others have been taken down prior to this one, they're very organized and serious about their business.
In their view, allowing others to detransition is admitting defeat, that they're living a lie (which they undoubtedly are).
Best reply, but to add to it. Discussing your feelings as a man, is like pouring out your gas tank. We don’t go about it in the same manner women do and certainly not the same extent. Apparently not even with low test & high estrogen. Turns out, we're actually different.
You clearly have no idea what testosterone does to a female. It disrupts the entire endocrine system, causes PERMANENT virilization that cannot be reversed.
To trivialize something like this is lunacy, take your bullshit elsewhere.
Well done OP, sincerely hope everything works out for you fren!
Lovely story! Pretty much sums it up.
You need to get out of your immediate environment if it's filled with 'like-minded' people who want you to cling onto the cult. People have been brainwashed from a very young age and had their identities crushed, only to be substituted with arbitrary LGBT nonsense.
​
I'm glad it worked out well for you in the end! Hopefully you can inspire others and make them realize that there is a way for them to untangle their minds
Follow your conscience and stop right away. You are 16 years of age, living under a system that has first and foremost, corrupted the image of womanhood by reducing the motherly role to a mere serf, then fed you nothing but pretty lies as a 'solution'. To the point where you're now injecting exogenous hormones that go contrary to your inherent biological composition, which will most certainly lead you down a dark and shallow path filled with nothing but hollow rationalizations.
The sensation you have that "people 'correctly' gender me I feel like they're just lying about seeing me as a guy" is completely accurate, men will ever see you as their true counterpart. Even if you were to put on a great fascade with 10/10 traits (which isn't a reality let's be honest), the moment they catch wind of the fact that you're not a (biological) man, their image of you immediately changes and you're seen as weak.
I'd argue to say that the FtM lie is even grater than the MtF, because us men do regard each other way differently. There are of course exceptions within groups where some inferior men choose to block out these instinctive cues, but the overwhelming majority of men out there operate in accordande with this instinctive behavior. The notion that you will ever be seen as one of us by the majority is illusionary! Please listen to your conscience and quit following people who haven't got the slightest idea what they're talking about.
I certainly don't say this to mock you, but rather as a voice of reason! You are 16, with your entire life ahead of you. Don't fall for the deception that the LGBT-cult and sponsors are pushing so vehemently. Many of us who went down that road and woke up now realize just how corrupt it is, and there are MANY who never made it that far but felt that they couldn't untangle their minds and thus signed out, to the insane point where everyone here knows at least one person. Does that sound like liberation? Or is it literally hell. I've been through it, like many others on this sub, who will speak truth. But many of us have left it all behind us, and thus aren't as active as the infiltrators who Need you to remain dysphoric to justify their own actions. That's the truth about the trans 'community' (look up the definition of a cult), you will eventually come to realize that behind all the wonderous compliments, hides the malevolent intention of "recruiting", a type of behavior among drug addicts who try to justify their own actions by making their peers dependent. It serves the purpose of alleviating guilt, or shame about their own actions, and out of a desire for company to share the addiction with, because deep down they know just how wrong it is, and their conscience is constantly pulling them in the other direction.
Please see things for what they really are, and watch out for people who don't want what's best for you. Accomodating behaviors that will end in someones demise isn't love, it's the complete opposite! Those who encourage you to continue on this path are clearly not acting in your best interest.
don’t let yourself get talked out of your gender identity here
Are you here to help, or continue fuelling the lies? Can't you tell that her conscience is pulling her in the opposite direction. This sub serves a purpose, and many of us whom have been through LGBT-hell are here to expose the fact of the matter.
"questioning own gender transition" is not a sufficient status to be giving advice, it seems that you're only here to talk people out of waking up. She's 16, a child, that you're now grooming to take androgenous hormones that will mess with the development of her brain.
I luckily never went further than wearing make-up and blocking test. But snapped out of it early after just 2 years, an have now lived 5 years as the complete opposite.
Here is MY PERSONAL OPINION, make of that whatever you wish. Respect mine just as I respect yours.
I view it for what it is according to Christian thought, demonic possession. The atheist take of this is mental illness, but I disagree as there’s a spiritual component to it. I don’t necessarily think of trans people like ”scum we need to execute” but rather from an empathetic point of view. I know their pain, they wear it with pride thinking it’s a strength.. Their mind & soul is pretty much twisted as a spool of yarn 🧶 and nothing I say is gonna convince them out of the box, it takes a lot of deprogramming to do. Ultimately I think they’re just lost, brainwashed souls who either fell for temptation (perverted fetish) or the attention from media. Nowadays I’m redpilled on the trans agenda, and don’t really know what else to say because people part of the LGBT community (Albeit I view it as a cult) always get offended whenever someone says they’ve been tricked, much like any other person.
I wholeheartedly hope & pray that many of them realize what they’re up to. What helped me was realizing that ”I will never be a woman” (clique but ultimately true), no matter how I go about the matter it wont change my DNA, and the realization of how incredibly sick the thought of basically becoming an ’inbetween thing’ (kindly put). Me feeling tricked just fueled my rage toward exposing it for what it really is, and I’ve since met poor post-op transgender wmen who deeply regret their choice, two of my friends from back then aren’t with us anymore because of how depressed they were in the aftermath.
To anyone detransitioning and feeling lost. Don’t be, fren. It is my sincere belief that the people/organizations who continuously fund/encourage it want to demoralize us completely. Educate yourself on the matter, realize how this isn’t just some organic movement that gained attraction, but something that had been FUNDED and PUSHED onto us by a certain group of people (in my belief satanists)
Agree/disagree, the choice is yours, open your eyes to the matter and look past social/media, and onto those who control it.
Your problem is clearly not related to sexuality, but rather a lack of confidence.
>I’ve walked around the LGBT circle and ended up realizing that I feel the best when I’m… just what the majority of people supposedly are.
Gives it all away.. and it sounds like you've pretty much been peer pressued into all this :/
My advice would be to read the autobiographies of people who have managed to escape cults of various sorts, you will find a very similar theme (if not 100% spot on). Afaik there are plenty of them out there, especially if you look up "SRA Satanic Ritual Abuse" where people are brainwashed into becoming members of a cult (that does really fucked up things). It goes to show how malleable the human mind is, and the power of groups. It helped me greatly, and I sincerely hope you find the way out..
