I chose to detransition after my kidneys starting shutting down and I began having liver malfunction. I was on testosterone for 5 years and stopped because of health issues. I then realized that my reason for transitioning had been fueled by the trauma I endured and that no /1
amount of medicalization would make that go away. Instead, I had to get therapy and address the real root of my dysphoria. So, I detransitioned. I was met with hostility and misunderstanding, but I prevailed because I knew it was what was healthiest for me. /2
A year after stopping hormones, I was hospitalized 3 times for mini strokes. My health has been shattered by transition, but I have taken many steps to become healthier and know more about my body. I do not love my body unconditionally. It is hard work. It takes reminding. /3
I do not always love being a woman. But I have grown to love myself more through the encouragement of surrounding myself with empowering women. My dysphoria hasn't gone away, but I manage it. I am forever changed, but I am happy with who I am today.

Thank you all for the lovely support. I wanted to clarify one thing I forgot to mention: I experienced no discrimination from family, friends, or employers during my transition. It was never a motivator for me to detransition, although it might be for some others.
I’m so sorry for what you went through. Thanks for helping me understand more and for having the courage to speak out x
So sorry that you had to go through this. It’s appalling
It sounds like a very hard journey you've travelled. I sincerely wish you well.
I’m not ‘liking’ your trauma, I’m sending love and solidarity. All strength to you.
I’m glad for you you’re healthier and happier now. love your profile picture too, I used to have budgies growing up. Had a blue one called Bruno. 
Thanks! The 2 birds in my picture are actually a friend's, but I have a green cheek conure like that one. I just LOVE birds!
