Counselling/therapy wasn’t compulsory. If you wanted to, you could go on a waiting list for counselling before your evaluation. Most people I’ve spoken to didn’t opt for that because they’d already made up their minds that they needed HRT.
People ask “why did you transition?” For the same reason *every* trans person does – I was certain it would help me. I didn’t know I was wrong. I assumed if I was wrong, the gender clinic would realise that. Evidently, they agreed I was doing what was best. That’s the problem.

This needs to be said over and over, by every detransitioner for whom it's true, until people who haven't personally faced GD understand it. Thank you for bringing your experiences to the table.

Yes. Is there a list with basic info including 1) age of trans self ID 2) length of therapy 3) age of puberty blockers and/or cross sex hormones 4) current age 5) name of treatment center 6) detrans y or n 7) name of detrans support group

I saw counsellors/psychiatrists pre-transition, including a stay on a psychiatric ward. I was clearly unwell. They said “stop drinking and you’ll be fine.” I drank to numb my issues – it didn’t cause said issues. I was ignored, and I'm hurt by the mental health field for that.

I know I can’t empathize but I’m genuinely sorry you went through. I can’t understand how traumatic that experience must have been for you but thank you for having the courage to talk about it
