I'm comfortable being who I am I'm a woman with stubble and mastectomy scars and a deep voice etc. But I'm happy because that's me. Would I undo my transition if I could? In a heartbeat. But I *can't* change what's already happened. So I learned to love the new me 2/x

It wasn't easy. Between the self hatred & resentment directed towards the professionals who facilitited my transition, I was a mess for a long time I should have taken some time for myself *long* before I actually did. If you're starting detransion, get off Twitter. Now. 3/x

In the early months of detransition, I needed to self reflect. This is ancedotal, you may be different, and that's fine But counseling and online advice did not help me half as much as taking time to talk to myself I've learned a lot from myself and I'm happier for it 4/x

I've seen first hand what some mental health professionals will say in order to avoid the transphobe label I've seen first hand the hate and vitriole online that's directed towards anyone discussing detransition But if you trust yourself, really, you will get through this 5/x

If you care to, take the advice of this one, drunk detransitioner, and adopt the "fuck it" mentality People still see you as X? Fuck it Strangers still call you Y? Fuck it If you can, eventually, accept yourself (as fuckin cliché as it sounds) you will get there. 6/6

I'm not stronger than you, I'm strong in my way & your strong in yours. Don't devaluve yourself. You might struggle because that's what we do, but whatever makes you *you* is it. You do what you need to do, sometimes you're wrong, but do what you need even if it's not easy
