Uncomfortable topic time: Restarting T and Retransition I doubt I could ever restart T, not after how far I've come. But I'd be lying if I said the desire never popped into my head. And I'm not the only detrans woman to contemplate it. 1/5

But, "just because you're a little different from other women doesn't mean you're not a woman." I know. But detrans women aren't "a little" different from other women. When you're balding, bearded, boobless, with a man voice and Adams apple, you're very different from them. 2/5

Speaking to those who restart T, I get it. I don't agree with them but I do understand them. 2 things: 1 They regret transitioning, but the T changed them so much they feel detransition is pointless. 2 They got no help. Untreated dysphoria = a surge in desire to restart T. 3/5

Dysphoria is a mental illness and requires treatment. Transition may help some people but it evidently doesn't help them all. Lack of alternative treatment creates more detrans folk, lack of help creates more retrans folk, lengthening clinic wait lists, harming trans folk. 4/5
