I try so hard to be positive, but I can’t believe my doctors let me do this to myself. They shouldn't have allowed this.

I'm happy for other trans people I really am. I’m happy they’re happy. I wish I could’ve been happy as a transman. I was, for a while. But now? I’m staring reality in the face and I’m miserable. I’m a hormonally and surgically altered woman and I’m not even 30. My body's a mess.

It’s too late for what I want. I want to hug my younger self and assure her she’s fine as she is. All I can do is watch as transition continues to be glorified. Watch these kids as they lap up gender ideology. I bare the scars of it but even I can’t reach them. I'm sorry.

While I’m drunk I’m going to say some uncomfortable truths. Transition has SO much to do with appearing “cool.” The historical figures I respected, fictional characters I liked, people I envied in my life – they were male. I wanted to be like them. I wanted to *be* them. Male.

I hated womanhood. From my core, I despised it. I loathed being a woman so much. So, I transitioned, and all was grand. I felt free? But no, I was still female. I can’t escape that. I had psychological issues that needed addressing – no, not gender affirmation.

What I needed to hear was this: “you’re not male, you will never be male because you were not born male. You're female, and cannot change that." That makes you think, because it's true!

Watson, I'm finishing up a book on sex and gender, specifically focusing on the social constructionist ideology and the issues you've been speaking about. I've appreciated your insight and courage, and I've included a few of your tweets in my book, referenced :)pic.twitter.com/MVKFNFxTqE

If you're not comfortable with me quoting you, just let me know :) The thoughts you have shared have helped me better understand the issues of gender ideology when it comes to medicalizing and pathologizing gender-atypical play.

I doubt I have a case. I was a legal adult who was deemed mentally competent. I signed all the forms that stated as such. My biggest concern is “trans kids” – that is where law suits are going to explode from. My heart breaks for them.

You are reaching people. You give me hope, and the courage to upset someone I don't think should do it. I hope you are writing a lot, keeping notes. You have something that is worth a lot. And you still have a lot of youth left, believe it or not, to do lots with.
