If you’re professional identity is still in the works when you detransition, switch your focus to that rather than gender identity. Occupying a more respected role in the workplace will do a lot for dysphoria. 2/

Don’t go into any kind of debt on appearance changes. If you want to do something like laser hair removal wait till you’ve saved the money up. In the time you’re saving the importance of the appearance change might diminish. 3/

It’s unavoidable that ppl will judge you for detransition, either that you’re flighty or immature or bigoted or whatever. Try to find some gratitude for the character this is going to build. 4/

Don’t let any member of the press tell you “visibility” for detransitioners is important. What’s important is money/health/wellbeing for detransitioners. Press has, to this point, never increased these for a detransitioner. 5/

Pull back on talking to trans ppl if you feel the desire to “save” them. Not your lane. Also the project of saving yourself is not complete unless you are debt free and constantly spiritually fulfilled. 6/

If detransition is not a project of you getting grounded and more effective at building a daily life you LIKE than you’re wasting the opportunity. Ideology and other ppl’s lives are fundamentally not the point, the point is you + living a life you’re proud of. 7/the end.

This is really good advice. I was so ashamed & driven to have laser when I started detransion & I did have 3 sessions but then covid hit & I couldn’t have anymore. Now I’m actually ok with my facial hair. It doesn’t bother me that much & I don’t know if I will continue laser.
