Even if you think detransition is 100% the detransitioner's fault and 0% the medical professional's fault, I still don't see how you could object to us telling our stories so that others can learn from our mistakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But come on. I qualified for the DSM category of gender dysphoria as it was used to diagnose me at the time. Like, I'm sorry for identifying my suffering as it was described in the DSM and undertaking the recommended treatment? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's the part that gets me. We're told it's our fault for seeking transition in the first place, but when you're diagnosed by a professional who recommends transition your not going to object, are you?

Yeah, I think it's a pretty unfair reaction! Especially when transition is prescribed not as a purely cosmetic procedure, but as a treatment for a kind of mental anguish that we were experiencing at the time

to the argument: "you got exactly what you wanted, surgery and changes to your body, you were not misled" the place where I feel misled was the idea that these treatments would lead to relief from dysphoria, instead of making it exponentially worse (which it did for me)
