I told them, "I am a woman and I regret my transition" and they told me that I was not female anymore. They said I could prove my "female identity" by dressing femininely and wearing wigs. My gender non-conformity was used against me as some sort of "gotcha". 4/6
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.
Requesting you dress a certain way?
They are no longer insisting I dress femininely to "prove" I am a woman (not sure why they suddenly stopped... but I did send very complain-y letters to them about it.)
I'm so, so sorry. I'm a hetero female, & I had to have a full hyst in '03. When I moved, nobody here would refill my estrogen HRT, bc I'd had a blood clot in '06 (altho I'd already been on lo-dose HRT for 8 years w no probs).
Had to quit cold turkey, then go w/o for several years until a few angels actually listened. It's really miserable (and unhealthy!) being without — glad you're finally being heard.
