I look at photos of myself pre-transition and see a perfectly normal, healthy girl. I don’t know why I felt so repulsive back then. Was it dysphoria or just extreme insecurity? Both? Neither? I don’t know. The doctors agreed it was dysphoria. Now I’ll never look like that again.

I'm sorry. This whole thing is a medical trainwreck. It won't undo the damage, but that you've stepped back from it says you're already a long way towards self-acceptance, body acceptance. I wish you everything of the best.
Thank you. I still have bad days but ultimately I'm far better than I was. The kind words of support I've been given by fellow detransitioners and others on here have helped, too.
