Detransitioner/Desister Stories - People you know or heard about deciding to return to their original gender/sex

[Legoshi]

There has been a growing trend of misguided individuals (predominately female) detransitioning after realising that being trans wasn't just working for them. While detransitioners and desisters are overwhelmingly female, I've noticed there hasn't been a lot of attention given to MTFTM detransitioners who went through this process. I knew someone who was an MTFTM desister who's living his best life right now. Here's his story in full detail.

Spoiler: MTFTM Desister Story

I had an ex-friend during high school who was nothing but trouble. We ended up having fights and eventually fell out. Defiant of authority and could be nasty or charming when he wanted to be, it turned out he later suffered from depression. I didn't really understand at the time and I wasn't very empathetic (I was an arsehole as well). He missed a few weeks of school and ended up having to be asked to leave at the end of the year because of how much of a piece of work he was. He gave others a lot of trouble and was very close to getting an expulsion. The last I ever saw of him in person was at the beginning of the next school year and it looks like he was asked not to return in person.

Fast forward a year later, he changed his name and ended up transitioning and making a support account for transgender children. Mind you, he was a minor at the time when he was planning to be an MTF. All that really changed was his hairstyle way before any hormones so no physical alterations whatsoever. When I looked at the comments of the posts on the transgender children, most of them were downright unsupportive, claiming that he'd never be a woman and that he was messed up while a few said he was still valid. Nevertheless, he identified as being trans up until about 2018-2019 when he decided to legally change his name back to his original one. It turns out that he was just slightly gender-nonconforming/androgynous and didn't fit in the mold of his socially conservative friends and family while suffering from typical teenager issues, depression, and ADHD. During the time he was struggling with mental health issues, councilors and psychologists who didn't have the best intentions consulted him and most likely misled him into believing he was trans. He never took any hormones in the end, so he was lucky that he didn't end up doing any permanent damage to his body like becoming sterile as he was able to conceive with his girlfriend. I think those negative comments on the posts, despite being harsh and unsympathetic, helped him realize the truth and prevented him from taking serious risks that could harm him forever.

I wonder how many people who have been duped by huge pharmaceutical companies and trans ideology are out there. I hope more detransitioners and desisters will speak out more and tell their truth and we prevent minors from making irreversible changes to their bodies that may not solve their problems at all.

EDIT: I decided to add the term "desister" for those who haven't medically transitioned before deciding to revert back and fixed a few errors.

trannies are gross

I do not care why is this in Politisperging?

I just want to laugh and rage at politics. Give Deep Thoughts its own basement.

I find it funny that @Null tanks A&N and shit talks it while bragging about the site's growth...how much of that growth is Chantal.

Oh edit for: How much more legal shit has OnlyFans posting cost you vs political shit?

Do we have a community watch thread for this or nah?

i see girls who transition back into women and they look completely normal except they have a balls deep voice and it just makes me sad they have to live with that at like age 20 for the rest of their life

This is probably because the people who give most attention to detransitioners are the terfs and they despise male to female troons while seeing female to male troons exclusively as victims. Interesting story though, I wonder if these misdiagnoses of trannies are doctors being cynical and trying to make money or if they genuinely can't tell.

There are cases of transgender identifying females/FTM's being sexual predators or murderers such as Kael T. Block and Lynn Benton. Kael T. Block was a photographer and founder of XX Boys, a photographic project consisting of FTM portraits alleged to have committed multiple sexual assaults and rapes of women. She fled the United States to France to avoid any convictions. Lynn Benton was a police sergeant who transitioned to male convicted of murdering a spouse and conspiracy to murder in 2011. She was also discharged from the police with misconduct during her job for possessing pornography on police laptops.

I know one (mtf back to m) but he doesn't talk about his experience because I can't imagine being groomed is a pleasant discussion... but I do wish he'd post about his experience somewhere. Basically coomers on 4chan encouraged him and he bought into the identity. I blindly was supportive years ago because I was unfamiliar with trans identity and didn't know what all it implied. Because of only receiving support and praise, he almost got female feminization surgery and thank fucking God he didn't go through with it and instead stopped taking hormones and received a mastectomy to detransition after transitioning had caused him so much additional mental illness.

My story is eerily similar to your friend. I never took hormones or did anything permanent, just changed my social media name before I changed it back, and came out to some family and co-workers.

Then I came out as "just non-binary" instead and yeah that was a thing, but again no body mods so no physical damage done.

I did feel like I was pushed into it a bit by an online friend who swore up and down I was just like him/her, in all fairness I'm an autist and flat out stated I wished I was born a girl. I've always been faggy and a loser drowning in mental illnesses.

Then the gender therapist I went to tried to rush me on hormones. I was already way past puberty so idk why he was rushing so much. I ultimately declined.

Do I still wish I was an gorl? Yes and no. I want the good parts, the pretty outfits, the freedom to dress how I want, the lowered expectations (im physically weak and dumb as bricks), the social support, to be seen as sweet and friendly instead of a potential creeper.

But being a non-passing troon wouldn't give me any of that.

Also, no way would I wanna deal with all the biological female shit like periods or childbirth. Not to mention the high chance of rape, sexual harassment, sexism...

Final verdict: Early pre-puberty troons like Kim Petras and Jazz Jennings have it the best. They pass fully and can look pretty and non-threatening, but don't gotta deal with periods or pregnancy.

But if you're post puberty, just stay a closeted girlyfag. If you need to online RP as a female character, do so when nobody's around.

I think there's a growing trend of not only young women and girls, but young men and teenage boys transitioning because they're deeply uncomfortable with certain secondary sex characteristics (i.e. body hair for males and breasts for females). Putting these vulnerable individuals on hormones and encouraging surgery teaches them to not only not accept themselves and learn to feel comfortable in their body but it influences their peers who think irreversible changes to the body are trendy.

I know a guy who is a deeply religious individual, and during a 3 year period got married (to a woman), had an affair with a man, got found out, got divorced and then began transitioning to become a woman. This was either encouraged or at the very least not challenged by his quite liberal religious community that surrounded him and possibly saw this as an opportunity to show acceptance or score woke points or whatever. He began presenting as an unconvincing female, very easily entered a gender reassignment programme but after a course of hormones I guess he had a "what the fuck am I doing moment" and cancelled this all.

So far, so good right? Anyway, he got married to someone else, had a kid and is presently rumoured to be having an affair with another man and still considering re-transitioning if you get him drunk enough.

I suggested to him he might just be gay or bi and that the whole transitioning thing (which looked really awkward anyway) was probably just a way to deal with the conflict between being gay and being religious - becoming a female would be easier than being gay to him perhaps?

I think it was too real for him - he really didn't like that I called him gay (despite him literally fucking men) and hasn't spoken to me since. I stand by my thesis though, with more self acceptance and the right partner he could be out fucking all the dudes he likes and living his life authentically.

A friend of mine ended up reversing her ftm transition. I was pretty horrified; I talked with her when she got her breasts removed and tried to say all of the right supportive things. Then I was talking to her again when she got new breasts installed.

I feel like I ended up supporting her into making the wrong decision the first time. That's a lot of money and pain to go through, not to mention what she must be going through emotionally.

When I was 16 I thought I was trans ftm. I played with the idea a bit, strapped my boobs down. Turned out though I WANTED to be a woman I was just too insecure about my lack of inherent femininity; I didn't know how to be a woman, being male seemed easier. Eventually I learned how by going outside of my comfort zone to try new things and accepting myself how I am. Wish I shared that story with my friend tbh, but it's hard to be that vulnerable in this environment.

I feel really bad for James Shupe and Kiera Bell.

Do you have any idea how insulting the troon movement is to women? What you loved is the sexist bullshit society and fetishists like you force on us.

Only good troons are ex ones, preferably with wrecked bodies, who serve as a warning, or the 41%

David Reimer. The (((doctor))) accidentally burned his dick off when he was getting circumjewed. This quack psychiatrist John Money convinced his dipshit parents that it would be a good idea to chop his balls off and turn him into a tranny since he didn't have a dick. He/she was still interested in boy stuff despite being a eunuch that was forced to live as a girl, and he decided to detransition back into a boy. He eventually got married and adopted some kids, but his wife eventually dumped him, probably because he still didn't have a dick. He ended up blowing his brains out at age 38.

Found this in an FB group I'm in - boy detransitioning from 'non-binary' after being forcibly raised as gender neutral by abusive parents.
School psych is worried that he is turning into a transphobe.

What a fucking asshole this Lorenzo is.

Legit, this is the type of zombie sociopath that gets her panties in a bunch if you refuse to use pronouns and here Arielos is refusing to acknowledge this kid knows he's a dude and wants to be.

Also you are his "enemy", bitch.

Sadly I think stories like this are going to become really common - not sadly because young people will be waking up to this nonsense, but for having parents that are so selfish and willing to multilate their own children for asspats. Just think of how many troons and enbies we've seen through this site that have young children. We're going to see this kind of shit for the next decade or so. And the cherry on this shit sundae is that the shrink is too busy drinking the troon-aid to actually help this poor boy.

Disgusting.

Similar story, only I went through with the HRT for a brief while, I was post pubescent but already quite effeminate so I figured I'd still get a decent result. While the physical changes were so-so mostly what I remember are the emotional changes, some of them even being kinda nice. The way I remember how I sensed my surroundings during that time is different, the smell of rain, the coolness of winter wind on my skin, stuff like that that usually I tend to be pretty numb to and that dont really stick out in my memory outside of that stretch of time. It was an interesting experience all things considered.

Since then though I've gotten over gender as a concept so I see no further need for HRT or transitioning. These days I'm content to just be myself and I have no regrets since the experience helped me become more in touch with my emotions and as far as I can tell hasn't left any permanent changes to my body since I wasn't on it for very long.

Probably wouldn't recommend it as a common treatment for emotionally stunted boys though.
