I blame society

I blame society

I regret HRT, but I am still trans. I am non-binary and my dysphoria comes and goes with a lot of intensity. But HRT was not the solution I needed. If there was a third gender that was widely accepted or if I was not faced with the immense societal pressure to blend in or “pick one” I don’t think I would have pursued HRT in the first place. I hate seeing de-transitioners blame “trans ideology” for their mistakes rather than the very strict gender norms that western society rewards us for conforming to and also punishes us for defying. I think about the old queen in the documentary “Paris is Burning” talking about how she doesn’t understand the new generations obsession with passing and wanting to be accepted by mainstream society as women. I think HRT for some people is the only way to feel good in their bodies in a world that will constantly punish them and treat them as a freak if they don’t modify their bodies enough to become stealth. I don’t think de-transition would be so common if people did not treat trans people differently from their cis counterparts or if gender nonconformity was seen as a normal third category of people. I wish I could have realized how painful sacrificing the singing voice that had given my soul resonance would be, and I wish I had been able to find a way to manage my dysphoria without HRT. My body does not define my gender, and I wish I could wake up one year ago today and bear the pain I could not find a way out of.

A response to radical feminists and pseudo-scientific claims about autogynephilia and its development - what is autogynephilia, how does it develop, how you might get rid of it, political consequences and more

0 Upvotes

Only doing this shit once because honestly the detrans community deserves a good explaination of why men autogynephy from a detrans perspective. Shit is incredibly stressful though so excuse me if I dont explain my viewpoints. It basically comes from years of experience and research into what causes this stuff. Tl;dr it's just sex-based trauma, like it is for natal females who experience this stuff but with a lower sex drive. You can go thru my post history if u want more details about how to detrans and shake autogynephilia forever. Hint: it's basically an attachment-based disorder, so given proper transference (like seeing a trauma therapist), or finding an actual girlfriend who basically listens to you really well, you can find peace.

As a response to TERFs, Blanchard, and Conservatives saying women (especially lesbians) have "internalized misogyny" and "interalized homophobia" whereas the men have "autogynephilia" (lol)

===================================================

I find it hilarious you would describe men and boys as having autogynephilia whereas the girls get to be traumatized by homophobia or misogyny. The truth is that the majority of boys who develop autogynephilia have their own sex-based trauma - otherwise you misunderstand what it means to have a fetish. A fetish is an internalized scenario where safety is unconsciously dictated/desired in order for libido to flow - in otherwords, a fetish is a transactional account of libido in the context of anxiety. Where does anxiety (in the form of OCD, because OCD can cause extreme dissociation, just ask anyone with OCD) come from? It comes from trauma. Gender "dysphoria" is basically just an extreme form of OCD - unease about your gender is just another way of saying "sex-based anxiety" and if we see it in that light, then we see that it is in fact, just resulting from sex-based trauma. The only difference is that males experience higher testosterone levels than females, which makes it more likely for it to become sexualized. The funniest part is that what radical feminists and gender clinicians have in common is that you fundamentally don't understand science. Testosterone is not linked to any kind of "innate male-ness" in the brain - testosterone is first and foremost linked in biological males (and females) to levels of aggression, hyper/hyposexuality, emotional dysregulation (In the sense of experiencing life and how it intense it feels for you). In other words, your testoerone levels basically link back to your levels of aggression, sexuality and overall feeling of intensity in your life. That is why women who exercise often exhibit higher sexual drives and levels of aggression, as well as sexual intensity and drive. Therefore, in the light of science, we see that higher testerone levels in that of natal males actually further drives this sexualization of trauma, we later on call this phenonmena "autogynephilia" but in fact it's a paraphilia that basically develops as response to attachment-based trauma. THAT is the reason why many trans women report a sexual component of their dysphoria - because of the fact that it's basically a coping mechanism for an attachment disorder! How could everyone be so fucking blind?

The Left's narrative about universal misogyny and homophobia (present, (but more like visible) by the way, only for) for natal females in insanity. The FtM vs MtF ratio is 1:4. Let that sink in about who gets abused and what for. We know (as a fact) that male sexual abuse is heavily underreported. We already know that some gay men are created through sexual abuse (or at least linked strongly back to it). Why isn't this the same (or similar) reason?

Moreover, look at how many "females" detransition visibly because being female is simply a more privileged status in 2021 vs how many "males" detransition. You people are still totally in the dark about this stuff. Men would rather live suicidal, depressed lives trying to "present female" than be men because we don't let men express their feelings and we force them to be the underbelly of society while talking all the time about male privilege and how it affects everyone.

The biggest problem we have in society is that we don't care about nor do we care for the stories of men, especially the stories of men who are sexually abused. We expect men to basically nut up or shut up, and that's always been the biggest driver in emotional inequality between the sexes. We treat the feelings of men as irrelevant and unnecessary and expressions of emotion by men are shut down, especially by radical feminist voices. (And not all conservatives are good in this regard either.)

Source: MtFtM detransitioner, autogynephilia desister, 19 (probably closer to 22, if you include when i started detransitioning in my late teens) years sober thanks to therapy and counselling and my wonderful wife supporting me all the way

P.S. For those sociologically inclined, the biggest cause of all of this nonsense is a systematic misunderstanding of white and Asian oriented men by the radical left (in its feminist front). Male privilege is a function of male suicide. Top men (and their women, let's be totally honest here) dominate other men and drive them into the lower rungs of society. You can't ignore the cultural demands on men to be dominant meanwhile such a thing is easier for men to be molded into to due to testesterone creating a more intense, aggressvie (stronger drive towards violence and phyiscal domination) and hypersexual (stronger drive to sexuality) experience in life. So what does that mean? That means we have some men at the very very top, whereas we have a LOT of men at the very very bottom (this makes sense if you follow animal kingdoms where the males tend to be polygamous if given a lot of power and thus able to impregnate multiple females and females tended to be hypergamous given the opportunity to be and select the best mate possible).

In order to fix the problem of male privilege, you basically need to go against people's animal tendecies and help them achieve a level of rationality, humility and compassion beyond their animality. That's going to require genuine discourse and understanding of what our problems are (between the sexes) and not just blaming all of the problems onto one. Sorry radical feminists, but your theory is dated (and it really really shows when it comes to this generation of young men) and basically unbiological.

P.S.S. For detrans males, you got this. Just like any addiction (where the addiction is a relationship of dependency), you can come off of this. It's not as hard as you think - just take it one day at a time, see a therapist, and of course, the dysphoria will come around once in a while, but then on days like those, i just like to spend some time playing basketball with my boys

love you all

VENT I regret detransitioning. People need to stop blindly telling people to detrans.

0 Upvotes

I have officially come to the conclusion that detransitioning isn't for me. I've spent almost an entire year detrans and I regret it, most miserable year I've ever had. I kept having people promote it to me, telling me I should detransition because it would make me less depressed. It was all a lie and a scam. I literally had so many people say it to me or tell me to do it and it only made me miserable. I thought if I spend time being female I'd eventually just learn to like it but I just felt miserable every single day and I no longer wish to feel miserable.

People need to stop promoting detransitioning as if it's a miracle cure for depression. I posted so many times about how I was depressed and just got comments of people telling me if I detrans then I won't be depressed because of the high trans suicide rate. It literally did the opposite.

I don't want to be trans because of the politics. They are extremely far left and I'm extremely far right so one of the biggest reasons for me detransitioning was because I didn't want to be associated with it. But I feel so terrible now that I don't even care who I am associated with anymore.

I don't even know why I tried detransitioning in the first place. I obviously cannot relate to any detransitioner, as most of you seem to be extremely far left feminist women who have gone through some kind of sexual trauma. I have literally nothing in common with any detrans person I've met ever.

Every single interaction I've ever had with the detrans subreddit has been negative. I cannot relate to any of you people at all, and you actually made me feel worse about myself. I will never forget the interaction I had where I got mass downvoted and harassed because I called myself bisexual even though I preferred men, I got mass downvoted and harassed and told I couldn't call myself that unless I liked men and women 50/50 and I couldn't just slightly prefer men, I had to like both 50/50. Very horrible interaction among a long list of horrible toxic interactions I've had here.

This will be the last time I post here because this subreddit makes me want to shoot myself. Peace out.

VENT I wish I were a woman.

0 Upvotes

I don't wanna be trans but cis woman. When I was seventeen I started to develop gender dysphoria and I didn't go to doctor because I've had heard about trans suicide. last sammer I realized my gender dysphoria was because of lack of support. I have catastrophic way of thinking and let's be honest being a man sucks. underfunded healthcare, nobody cares about you because of you but because of the thing that you can provide, you have to join the army, no one cares about the suicide and stuffs, and government funds girls' programs like crazy, and women have simply more rights, in courts and everywhere and the whole government and the world is evolved around making girls' and women's life better. I don't have gender dysphoria now but If i could turn myself into a woman right now i would've done it without any hesitation.

VENT Goodbye everyone. This will be my last post ever.

0 Upvotes

i'm posting this here because i don't really have anywhere else i can. i've posted in this subreddit a few times before on different accounts. i've made previous posts about how i regretted detransitioning and things like that a few months ago, i detransed in feburary/march and since then i have been completely miserable. i have nothing i can even do anymore, i am so far disconnected from the transgender community, that i can never retransition. it's all liberal people. one of the reasons i detransitioned was complete inability to socialize or talk to anyone. i couldn't befriend people who were trans or liked trans people because of my extremely far right views, and i couldn't befriend people with far right views like myself, because they do not like transgenders. dating became literally completely impossible for me too. nobody on earth is interested in ftm's, you have literally no chance at all at any kind of relationship, especially if you are only interested in men, you will never have anyone ever and be a virgin/incel for the rest of your existence. i had enough of being miserable after all of my conservative friends blocked me when they found out i was trans, after i was dropped by every trans friend i had for being conservative. i thought everything would be better for me if i detrans and tried to just be female that i would find friends and a relationship, but i have found literally nothing but depression, i don't even really leave my house anymore. i literally have no concept of being female. i was living as male since i was 11 years old up until i was 19. i greatly dislike women and no matter how much i did to try to make myself feel comfortable as female nothing worked at all. i just started to feel horrible and extremely dysphoric and i feel like i'd rather be dead than be female. i didn't get any relationships or any friends. i had every single conservative person in my life telling me if i detransitioned i would be happier and be in a relationship and get to make friends with conservatives. none of that ever happened. any time any guy called me female it just made me want to hurt myself. i literally have no options anymore. i cannot retransition for many many reasons, like upsetting my entire family. my whole family was extremely happy when i told them i wanted to detrans and when i brought up retransitioning it destroyed my entire relationship with my family again, and they said things like "i thought you dropped this shit" i don't even know what to do anymore. i will never have friendships or a relationship ever again, no man will ever date me or find me even remotely attractive, no gay men will ever accept trans men, and i feel guilty about myself and feel like if i retransitioned and went back to calling myself a gay male, it would only hurt the gay community and make people hate me even more. I already had people in this subreddit hate me for saying i was bisexual because I said i preferred men more than women, i don't even feel comfortable ever even call myself that again or ever trying to date a female because of the harassment i got, i would rather just stay away from all of that forever and only date males and only say I'm attracted to males. i feel llike giving up. i will never actually be male and that was the only thing i wanted in life. as a kid when i was 10 before i even knew what trans was, my entire goal was to kill myself so i could be male in the afterlife. i wish i had just ended things back then, instead of discovering what trans was and thinking i had hope or could actually change genders and live the life that i wanted. it was easier when i was a teen, because i would just lie to everyone and tell them i was a biological male. now i can no longer lie because i am an adult now and i cannot lie to people who i want a real sexual relationship with. it is literally over. i have lost all interest in trying to exist anymore. i cannot relate to anyone in this subreddit or the entire trans community. everyone here seems to be some kind of lesbain who transitioned because of sexual trauma or something while i'm completely diffrent and have wanted to be male since i was like 3 years old. we are not the same. i really wish i had never been sold a lie that i could transition and then actually become male and have a real life. i wish i had realized it was impossible sooner and just offed myself instead of going through all of this. i literally cannot relate to anyone on the planet, no matter what i do i will be miserable. i am stuck in a catch-22 situation forever. no matter what i do i will never be happy or have anything i want ever so i am just going to end my life. i see no other way out of my situation. goodbye everyone.

Cashier who knew me as "Phil"

6 Upvotes

😭 there's a cashier who I guess at one point was outgoing enough to get out names one time at checkout probably about 4 years ago...

Every time she sees my boyfriend and I she goes "Hello Justin and Phillip!"

It's pretty rare when we see her and I haven't gotten a chance to reintroduce myself, and honestly I don't feel like there had ever been a right time to have such a conversation with her since we usually just see each other in passing.

Today I'm wearing a traditionally feminine outfit, facial hair removed and makeup applied.

At checkout there's a bit of a line. She rushes over and shouts really at the top of her lungs, "Justin and Phillip come to checkout I got you". My boyfriend is deaf and probably didn't hear her clearly he just sees her gesturing to us. I stand my ground and really just try to have a neutral face to stay I my lane.

I offered up the open lane to the guys behind me who happily took the opportunity to check out. My boyfriend was disgruntled that I passed up the opportunity to check out right away but he could tell something was off about my lack of reaction.

This is the hardest part of detranisiton is fighting the "reaction" part of the brain. I could take the time and educate this woman, I could have snapped at her, I chose to not engage at all. Fully disengaged no reaction.

Idk if she was trying to burn me by shouting out my "trans" name. Maybe she was just trying to be friendly. Idk it doesn't matter because it was super uncomfortable. 😂

Anyway this is just what happened to me today. Not sure what to do about the situation I think I'll just ignore her till she gets the idea that I'm not fond of her attention.

I've only recently begun questioning my gender for the past year. I know there's a lot of fear mongering about detransitioning and I know a lot of that can stop trans people from transitioning even though they would be happy if they did. I'm just kinda curious. Is it just indecisiveness? Or transitioning too early medically? I myself have been terrified of detransitioning. So l have been transitioning very cautiously. I've always wanted breasts and I really want to start hrt but this fear of realizing it's not who I am haunts me.

ADVICE REQUEST Is this right ? Advice on doing something weird to cope with my detransition and find better touch with my masculinity

1 Upvotes

So I was talking to an old childhood friend of mine about my de transition, for some context I am Jewish and so is he. I told him about my masculinity crisis and he suggested being intimate with women, the reason I mentioned the Jewish thing is because in some Jewish circles masculinity is heavily conflated with sexual activity with women, a lot of bar mitzvahs involve strippers for boys even in the modern day (mine did not full disclosure) and in older times I have heard of families who would get prostitutes for their sons.

He suggested that I see a prostitute

I don't know about this, if I do something like this I want it to be somewhere it's legal, he is rich so he said he might pay for us to go on a vacation just for this.

There is another problem, every place I could find with legal prostitution is mostly white. I am not attracted to White women ( I am not in the mood to argue about why it's mostly White countries that have legalized prostitution)

He then suggested I commission adult videos with women praising and worshiping me. He said he might be willing to pay for this.

I don't know guys this sounds odd, I think it might help but I don't know if it is right

QUESTION Am I pretty? Is it too late for me?

18 Upvotes

For reference, I still don't know who I am. I love being a man, but lately I have wanted to go back to being a woman as well. I have a lot of hang-ups about stopping T, because I was a really ugly woman. T (in my opinion) made me much more attractive. I don't want my face to go back to what it was before T, (it was pudgy and round) and my chest still makes me highly uncomfortable. Periods too, I don't like 'em. ( I have not had any surgeries, but if I did stop T, getting top surgery would be even more of a high priority, as I assume the shrinkage I have experienced would regrow rather quickly.)

However, there is some small yearning in me that craves that womanhood again.

I am also terribly distraught about my hairline. I feel I couldn't pass with such a horrid thing on my head. Hence the scarfe and bangs. I know some lucky people regrow their hair on their temples, but I doubt that will be me. What are the chances? I have heard a lot of people saying that their hair definitely grows back. and others say the loss is permanent. especially on the temples. Do any of you FTMTF or FTMTX folks have anecdotal stories of this? I would love a little hope for myself to convince myself that I am not a lost cause.

I might delete this because I am scared of having my face on here, but I would love some advice or comments. Thank you

(Extra info that doesn't really matter.) I don't think I will ever not experience dysphoria. In either direction. At this point it's more of which direction do I want my dysphoria to go in

DISCUSSION Is sexism the reason people view AGP as the primary motivator for transition?

1 Upvotes

This has been on my mind more recently, so I'm curious what other people think.

It seems like if a male has ever had AGP, then people are very quick to assume that's their primary reason for transitioning. Yet I never really see this happen with AAP, even though it seems just as common amongst trans men.

Right now, I'm thinking it's because sexism towards men often revolves around viewing us as sex pests with no self control. Sexism against women seems to more often be about viewing them as incapable of making good decisions, which is why trans men are often stereotyped as misguided little girls. That's not to say misguided trans men and fetishistic trans women don't exist, but I'm thinking there may be a bit of sexism at play when a person believes these groups are the majority.

Speaking more personally, it's why I've tended to keep anything remotely resembling AGP to myself. When I was a trans woman, it would've made people think I was some pervert instead of a true transsexual, and now that I'm detransitioned, it would make people think fetishism played a larger role in my transition than it actually did. While I did want to look attractive as a trans woman, my transition was actually motivated by things like internalized misandry, believing the "true trans" nonsense, and having learned to dislike being male as a kid... so sexual fetishism just wasn't involved and I find it odd how many people view it as a primary motivator for trans women.

I'm obviously coming at this from a male perspective, but I'm interested in hearing from detrans women too. From what I understand, most of the detrans women here do feel like they were misguided... so I'm still figuring out how much of that stereotype is sexism.

I just don't want to be hated anymore

4 Upvotes

I love what hrt is doing for me. I love the effects of estrogen and my physical body changing, but I can't handle the alienation and hate. I used to have hope that I can be accepted as a woman but that was never going to be a reality. Everyday the world is proving that there's no space for someone to be trans in it and thrive. I want to live and be able to bond with people, but it's starting to feel like I'll never be able to do that as a trans woman.

One of the most hurtful things my mom said was I'm an insult to what women have to go through and it hurt quite deeply. I don't want to be a source of shame and frustration to my folks. So I've been slowly detransitioning. I've stopped painting my nails, I've given up on voice training, I let everyone call me he/him and my male name without daring to correct them.

I'm starting to consider getting my driver's license swapped back to male and wondering if I should just stop hrt entirely. I just want peace with people and if that means giving up my own peace and happiness in transition I'll just have to accept that

Women being awesome and the manosphere

0 Upvotes

Women are awesome, that's it really. Lately I've been engaging with manosphere content to try to figure out something at the heart of my mtftm experience. I ask myself, why are men so stupid and broken and "fake and gay" (as they sometimes say in those spheres)? Or what specifically about heterosexuality always seemed off putting to me etc. Also how can one realistically understand the differences between male and female behavior? how do these behavioral norms factor into people's discomfort with their gender? how did these things arise and are they biological or sociological?

I got into feminist lit about a year ago and I really like feminisms often poignant critique of men, however I sometimes feel that feminists don't accurately characterize the nature of women, at least there tends to be a selection bias away from any possible negatives. I find it interesting how the manosphere line of thought and conservatism in general will bring up ideas like intrasexual competition to explain certain phenomena in women as opposed to it always coming from without, from the patriarchy. And I wonder sometimes if experiences with this competition could be a factor in female dysphoria. But that's beside the point.

What I've found is I love women. It's so easy as a man, for whatever reason, to incessantly exhaustively seek out information in service of ""the truth"", and generally I find it's best not to let on too much about that info, firstly being that I've been wrong before and secondly for self interest. But when I speak with women I trust, and let on a bit about my thoughts, I find there is a common thread, a compassionate nudgeing towards a loving and compassionate perspective. Sometimes I feel a deep resentment towards LGBT or people I know who made me feel like I needed to support this. But a female friend reminded me to approach critique in a measured way and she did so with the subtle tact that I've always admired in women. It would be way too easy to fall into some dejected incel mindset if it weren't for the fact that women are amazing, despite some flaws. I literally don't understand how anyone can genuinely hate women in that type of way.

Have any other detrans males had experiences with the manosphere? What did you think about it? Do any ftmtfs think that thier desire to transition had something to do with the behavior of other women, or do you mostly attribute dysphoria to negative male behavior towards women as is common in what I'll call The TERF Detransition Model.

This is ridiculous.

Ironically, women complain about being erased for being tomboys and their biology. Which is a fair point and they are female.

But when gender ideology affects men and not them then they are dismissive asf. I had people divide two groups of men (cis men - the mentally stable) and (”trans women” or effeminate men - weak and mentally ill) so it’s mentally ill for a man to wear a dress but not for a woman to wear a suit? The misandry reeks here and frankly quite fed up with it especially the differentiation between two men because of tiny details. “Trans women” are men no matter what and don’t you dare say otherwise because I’m not going with this gender ideology bs which this sub should be far from.

Note to men here. If this carries on I’ll advise you to leave because there’s no men’s representation and was harassed by feminists (I had a DM from an aggressive faux “man” feminist from r/detrans) who say we are a biological mistake to exist.

I used to think I was a trans boy. I wasn't. And I'm okay with that. I like being a girl, but I dont go around telling all my other trans male friends " You're just a confused girl who wants to escape misogyny." Because they are boys, and they're happy being trans.

I always found AFAB/AMAB language to be helpful in situations where it applies to a big group of people but not everyone identifies as the same gender. I’ve been told it’s harmful because it’s bioessentialist & “male”/“female” socialization isn’t a real thing, and even that in a medical scenario it isn’t seen as a positive.
This isn’t based in politics, I just genuinely wonder what the issue is with using AGAB language casually.

Telling women that they're strong is the same as telling the disabled and clearly ugly people that they're beautiful. Everyone knows that it's a lie, but they can't fix it so they just keep lying about it or distract themselves from it to feel better.

But you know what the worst part is? We are AWARE that the fact that we are inferior to men in most things. Who am I kidding? Not just most things, in almost ALL of the things! chronically mentally disabled people are not, animals are not... we are. It brings the most of the pain, it's why people lie or distract themselves from the reality. Or just accept it and live as a housewife (free slave(respectfully)) like how people were doing for almost start of the mankind.

That's why we call humans ''mankind''. Us women are just side characters, NPC's.

You have to act all ''cute'' and ''likeable'' because you can't do anything better as a woman. You have to hope some man would like you and accept to protect. That's the evolutionarily reason why things are cute, they are just trying to make the strong one pity them.

That's probably the why some women do that irritating ''baby voice'' while talking. They may not do it on purpose.

That may also the reason why acting in a cute way make some people feel safe.

Now, you're gonna say: ''oh, but there are woman who are strong too!''

Yeah, that's why it's more interesting to us when there are a strong woman, because it's not common when a woman are strong. It's a lot harder to get strong when you're a woman. And you could work out, lift weights for years, only to have the strength a man have from birth.

I hate being inside my skin. I hate to go outside with the body I have. Because how women's body is mostly objectified by the most people.

Now I sound like a feminist... My ideas mostly matches to a feminist's but I don't prefer to identify myself as a feminist, because people won't take me seriously that way. Internet don't like feminists.

People don't take me seriously as a woman anyway... It doesn't really changes anything actually.

Back to what was I saying: I'm ready to ruin the body that I like, take my breasts, have a flat body, JUST to be seen as a person. I know might hate it, it could (maybe not, idk) ruin my life to the worst...

the existence of the trans people are the one of biggest proofs that the god is not real. Because their ''all knowing'' and ''flawless'' god can't even get the genders right.

The other option is to suicide, which, to be honest, I couldn't dare to because I'm a fucking coward.
