This is more personal than I usually go with my tweets, but I want to talk about it. I met my boyfriends mum for the first time recently. I knew prior to it that she was unaware I was a detransitioner. I asked my boyfriend if she knew and he said “she knows you're a woman.” 1/
And I am a woman. I'm a biological female, despite my former testosterone use and double mastectomy. But I kept thinking, “what if she asks about my manly voice or notices any stubble I missed shaving or my flat chest or-” 2/
None of that matters because I am a woman. I need to stop thinking of myself as a detrans woman and now think of myself as a woman. I worry people will question me. My boyfriend's helped me realize that their questions are irrelevant – I'm a woman because I'm a female adult. 3/
His mum was absolutely lovely, didn't ask about my “male traits” and we had a wonderful evening. I will, from now on, only refer to myself as a detrans woman when it's relevant to the topic at hand. Outside of that, I'm just a woman – like any other adult biological female. 4/4
