Like others here have said, most people are supportive from all angles, but of course it's always tough to figure out if they ultimately will be harsh about it.

It's okay to admit to being wrong, or even admitting if you allowed yourself to be misled. Being humble enough to say you are wrong shows honesty, integrity, and growth. Something many can't seem to figure out and would rather live outside the scope of reality and find ways to justify their ideas in any way possible. Being honest with yourself about who you are and being happy about it is much mentally healthy way to live.

For someone to rub it in your face is dispicable, especially for something so personal to you. This is something that really depends on the dynamic of the relationship, and hopefully they are supportive without being overbearing. There's also no need for them to be let known all the details. They'll prob notice the changes, but when the time comes to say something, best thing to do is be honest and forward about it. That time could also be when you're comfortable enough to ask people to address you by the pronoun you want or name. One step at a time, and you'll feel the payoff soon.

Someone on here said it really well one time.

There's a difference between gender non-conforming and being non-binary.

One is not conforming to gender roles, the other is ignoring biological science.

To me, detransitioning is coming to accept the biological reality, however still being comfortable to be self-expressive and free willed beyond gender roles.

It's okay to be flamboyant and self-expressive, it's not okay to lie to yourself. Now we're at a point where there's psuedo science being made up in an effort to reaffirm the lies being told to unstable and sexually confused youth, and they're targeting that vulnrable demographic very openly.

The sooner we accept the person we were born as, the sooner we find ourselves in a happier state of mind. That is a truth that has continued to exist since the beginning of man. To go against the reality is to manifest the corruption of a stable society (which is what they want, this is a classic ideological takeover tactic.) It's unhealthy and hurts the people.

oversexualization of women

The human experience loves sex, regardless of gender. See now, I had to use the word gender instead of sex because I needed to differentiate. That's why that word exists, but they're trying to change definitions with neo- or psudo-genders.

Anyway, humans will always like sex. Some will be moreso sexual and some not interested at all. It's natural. However, we've introduced new sexually driven personalities that goes against biological realities. We may be apex creatures, but we're not gods. We can't just change our biology. I don't really like religion, but because of all of the weird sexualization in mentally twisted ways, I can see their intent on ensuring a nuclear setup. Sometimes tells me this has been tried in the far past with aristocrats.

We're animals that naturally want to breed, and that's good for the growth and benefit of the human species. Being gay, was one thing we can handle and still maintain growth because of where in the timeline we're at. However, transitioning has proven to be dangerous due to the affects it has on both the mental health and physical health. There are very few actual trans individuals, however we're marketing it as if anyone can be which misleads people down a very unstable mental path. It's like we're trying to fosture a society of mentally unstable and depressed citizens. And it's targeted at the youth, whom are very malleable and still figuring not only themselves out but the entire world. And we're indoctrinating them into a false reality.

Though, after reading subs like this and just having normal discussion in the real world- it's become more seemingly like that this is just another generational fad that will certainly die out once those that are targeted have grown and dealt with the trauma of the experience. There's been fads in the past generations that's died out and they look back it with cringe. This is more or less the same once we wake up to the reality of there simply being two genders, and specific exceptions of hermaphrodites in very rare genetic breeding failures.

A person's sexuality is not a gender.

I've read a number of your comments, unfortunately you seem rather hung up on the idea that this would improve your social life.

The issue with the logic your following is that it's contrary to our current social standards which are rooted in our natural biology. It's not a bad thing to have feminine behaviors. I have feminine reactions because it expresses my words better. At the same time going diametrically against those social standards dictated by natural circumstance, being transitioning, would only cause a further mental rift for yourself when it comes to social interactions. There is a natural social block because you can't be something you're not, and people will reject you because it's unnatural. It's natural behavior and also healthy to conform to the realities of social standards set by nature when it comes to this. Being rejectionist of such realities in an attempt to understand or better your situation would put yourself on a long path that would be too mentally damaging to ever fully recover from due to not following natural reality. You'd always carry that weight.

There's nothing wrong with having a slim body so long as you're a healthy skinny. That's exactly me, I look like a twink. However if you're incapable of doing 10 pull ups chances are you are unhealthy. Having mostly body fat and no muscle while skinny is not healthy, the same goes for larger individuals. Take it from someone who is low on the BMI and is skinny, yet still has enough strength to move heavy oak furniture alone. Being low on BMI doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy or not, but can be an indicator. Even though I've been told I have some feminine characteristics behaviorally and physiologically, I haven't found it to be a limiting socially because I look physically healthy now compared to myself in the past before eating more and working out. All it took was a bit of realizing that I was out of shape and that it's not good for myself physically, mentally, and socially - socially because people naturally are gravitated towards healthy/attractive persons that are down to earth with reality. There's nothing wrong with that, it's natural to find attraction with more healthy people.

Again, please try to push towards natural solutions rather than against. Don't let the definition of what's natural be manipulated by "experts" that are dictating what you "feel" when we don't even fully understand our own brains, because there is clear evidence that following natural order is more healthy and avoids mental disorders. I really recommend eating more, a balanced healthy diet, and working out a bit. It's super healthy and revitalizes you not only physically but also mentally. You'll feel more confident, it will generate more testosterone, and you'll find yourself being more desirable socially. I really hope you can also move past the misled interpretations that one sex is better, both sexes are equally important for our species growth even with their natural adaptations.

There's a lot of money being dumped into marketing this stuff, because clinical and psychological "care" including hormones make a lot of money and it's cheap to synthesize. They also are politically inclined and want to influence others, obviously.

So when you search trans anywhere, expect the onslaught. This is why I use adblockers and alternative apps like Reddit Is Fun.

Ooh i misread a bit, my bad. That's still awesome though! It's not like it's necessarily too late, mid 20's is just went it starts to slow. With steady progress you can always acclimate. It's great that you are focusing on your body. I never worked out in my life until 6 months ago and there really is something about working out that makes me feel fulfilled more than just the less feminine body, not that I'm complaining, I kinda like the balance I'm nearing, and I do feel more confident, even if society is so used to larger people that they are so unacquainted to the healthy skinny :) I hope you continue your progress there's nothing better than being honest with ourselves about not only how we feel but who we are.
