What questions do you have regarding the female-to-male transition process, transition regret and detransition that you want answered? I will provide what answers I have, and I invite my FTM and detrans followers to participate where comfortable.

What could friends have done while you were still trans-identified (before you were exploring regrets/doubts) that would have either helped you to think differently about transition (perhaps not possible for this to come from the outside and be received well?) or

By the time I was on T, I was so far gone that questioning was unacceptable. Pre-t, I think I would have been more open to alternatives. My friends knew my past, they could have convinced me. But why would they? When the world was telling them to celebrate me, for my sake.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. I did try to push back (gently, mostly asking lots of questions) before transition, and said I'd support whatever friend decided to do.

Now several years in, it feels like we can't talk about it because friend will only talk about it in ways that invite reinforcement of decision (about passing, being a man, etc.) and I can't contribute to that in good conscience.

If your friend is anything like how I was, T was "there's no going back now" mode, so after changes began, questioning yourself became terrifying.
