I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at a gender clinic
I injected testosterone for 4 and a half years
I underwent a double mastectomy
I lived as a trans man for over 5 years
I regret having done so
I am a woman who detransitioned
And I'm not the only one.

At the point of diagnosis, what other treatment path could (or should) have been offered to you, and do you think you would have chosen it? Thank you for sharing your story

I was struggling with depression and trauma at the time I was put forward for hormones. I think therapy to address my issues outside the dysphoria would have improved my mental health and diminished my desire to transition.

I am a trans person, who intends to stay transitioned, but I strongly agree with this. There needs to be a functional theraputic component to gender care. What form it should take is difficult to say, though. I don't like the idea of more gatekeeping, but support is needed.

I feel my doctors did a reasonable job in diagnosing my dysphoria, and informing me of the medical risks, but once I was prescribed hormones I was kind of turned loose. I sort of expected that transition would be a magic pill that fixed all of my problems, and it *was not*

I’m so sorry. If you therapist had questioned your gender dysphoria they would have been criticized for not supporting your truth. How could they have approached that differently? Do you have any ideas?

Have heard so many people say they transitioned to try escape trauma & expectations
