As someone who went through the transitioning process, I can confirm that it was, in fact, anything but rigorous. Transition was presented not only as the best option, but the only option to alleviate my dysphoria. Testosterone and a mastectomy did not help me.

If I could go back to 2014, I wish my other issues had been explored more. I wish I'd been seen more - I was seen 3 times before being prescribed Sustanon 250. I was very depressed and dealing with a lot of baggage, I'd have benefited if my problems had been explored further.

At the time I wanted to transition because I had convinced myself, thanks largely to online encouragement, that transition would help me. I was in deep denial concerning my other issues.

There's not a lot of support out there from detransitioners, I'm afraid. We're seen as a threat to trans people, and are shut down accordingly.
