I've been sober for almost a week and it's been hard. Everything is amplified, including my dysphoria. I don't know how other detransitioners get through this. The messages I've gotten from young detransitioners & trans people regretting their transition make me feel ashamed.
I tell them they'll get through this, that I'm here for them - I'll listen. While the latter is true, the former, I don't know. I can't know. I'm not a professional. I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't know how to help, beyond being an open ear.
I know with the ongoing virus and lockdown this may seem a small issue, but to me and manu others, it's reality. Will there be help for us once the lockdown has been suspended and life has returned to normal? I doubt it.
I've spoken to so many detransitioners, each with their own lives, memories, experiences, struggles, sorrows and triumphs. One thing remains: every one feels abandoned and rejected by their gender clinics. Every one felt they had nowhere to turn to. No help to seek out.
They were trans. I was trans. We suffer from dysphoria. Some really need support. But where is the trans community? Attacking us. Calling us traitors and fakes. They don't want us. We're "traitors". Well, fuck you. You self-righteous, self-serving arseholes.
You can't save people. They have to do that themselves. The best you can do is listen and maybe point them in the right direction.
I opened my Skype to people who need a professional (and free) ear three weeks ago. My ID is 'mindsci'. I have a personal life (inc wife/family &c) so can't be free 24/7 but if you or anyone else wants to say 'hi' and chat, please do ping me and I'll get back to you.
