Adding my voice to #DetransAwarenessDay
I am a detransitioned woman who first transitioned as a teen almost 10 years ago under GIDS, I've been attending Gender Clinics for 9 years now. I'm also someone who detransitioned because of transition regret.

Thankfully, they're finally listening and helping me. They're no longer requesting I dress a certain way and I've been on Estrogen for 7 months now. I'm with an understanding (as best they can) psychotherapist and I'm moving forward in figuring out what can be done for me. 5/6

But what I experienced those first 8 months was awful. I felt like I was never going get anywhere. I hope with detransitioners speaking out today people will begin to listen to us and our needs for better care and treatment will be heard. 6/6

Addition because it wasn't clear: I've been attending Gender Clinics for a total of 9 years. This is divided between GIDS (2012-2014) and my current adult GIC (2014-current). My experience in detransition has all been under my adult GIC.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. No one should ever have to hear that they must dress or present a certain way to be themselves

This is so horrible. I really hate the role that GICs have in controlling our hormones. The gatekeeping has to stop

Awful that a place that was supposed to care for you treated you like that, just awful. Glad they have changed their tune

'They told me that I was not female anymore'!! 'They said I could prove my "female identity" by dressing femininely and wearing wigs.' I am horrified for you and the state of science and empathy, I'm fully WTFed out. All the best to you, you are brave.

It’s the most regressive shit ever, isn’t it!
