Hi. I’m a nineteen-year-old ftmtf Detransitioner. I’m not sure what to put here, so here’s info about my Transition & Detransition:
I was born in 2002 and grew up really insecure. I heard about being transgender on online forums at a very young age and came to the conclusion that I was a trans boy. I transitioned at 9, started HRT at 11 and at 12 got a botched double mastectomy. The surgery went horribly and my chest was completely torn apart and scarred all over, surgery lines everywhere as well as numbness and multiple infections. At 16 I got a hysterectomy, rendering me irreversibly infertile, at this point I was having serious doubts and basically a mental breakdown.
I attempted suicide twice before deciding to Detransition. Got death threats from supposed “friends”, harassment, doxxed, banned from sites and forums, the usual stuff Detransitioners get from the Trans Community. I stopped HRT and Detransitioned at 17. I am now infertile and my body is wrecked and I am the most suicidal I have ever been.
I am currently studying Biology and Neurology at University.
(There are more of our stories at r/detrans, if you're thinking of Detransitioning there are a lot of supportive people there. My advice for people thinking of transitioning is to wait until you're 18, and speak to numerous people who both agree and disagree with you. Keep in mind HRT, Puberty Blockers, and Surgery are NOT reversible.)
Also, don't downvote people for no reason, it's not very nice!
Hey Pandas, If You Could Change One Thing About The School System, What Would It Be?
Got 5 Things! Here we are: Firstly, the excessive amount of Homework. I don’t want to have to be doing six hours of science per night, but oh well, here I am. I’m not saying effectively rule-out homework as a thing, but tone it down a little. Well, a lot. Secondly, we need to learn some basic Life Skills. Finance, Economics, Cooking, Cleaning (both boys & girls!), Self-Care & Hygiene (would have helped some kids in my class 🤮) and the rest of the basic stuff you gotta know. Thirdly, Single-Sex Bathrooms & Changing Rooms. It’s SO uncomfortable having to basically get naked with a large, hormonal male staring at you from across the locker room. I don’t get how some people think this is inclusive. Fourth, the Bullying Situation. We need more opportunities for people who experience bullying to be able to seek help (sometimes anonymously due to embarrassment or shame) after being subjected to harassment / bullying at school. Lastly, more lessons on acceptance of your body. You only got one, there’s no point in endlessly comparing it with others and wishing you could change things about yourself, it just leads to dysmorphia. You’re fine EXACTLY as you are!
Hey Pandas, How Did You Join Bored Panda?
I clicked on “register”, then filled in some personal information such as my name, shoe size and date of bah-mitzvah. I then received an email with a link to confirm registration, which I clicked and at that moment my account was complete. Thanks for asking.
