What I don't understand about detransitioners is... why would anyone listen to them or take anything they say seriously? By their own admission they were stunningly wrong about themselves and made terrible decisions.

Unlike any detransitioner I've ever heard of, I spent a long ass time thinking about how it would feel if I was wrong about having gender dysphoria and ultimately decided to detransition.

"What if this feeling that I think is gender dysphoria is really just normal self-consciousness? What if this feeling is just internalized misogyny?" These were hard questions, and questions I knew I couldn't be 100% certain I knew the answers to.

Clear eyed, and with the understanding that I might be wrong, I made an informed decision to proceed with transition. If there was even a chance that my discomfort really was gender dysphoria I couldn't go on living my life without finding out if the treatment would work for me.

So here come detransitioners. They didn't ask hard questions. Didn't consider they might be wrong. Didn't informed decisions about their treatment. They just glommed on to something that felt right without considering other options. And they're still doing it. It's who they are.

My big "am I trans" moments usually come in the form of something like "I could go back to living as a woman if I just didn't have to have breasts" which a) is not a normal cis thought, and b) isn't a thing I've ever heard anti-trans detransitioners say

I've had moments of feeling like a fraud, but I never felt I wanted to live as a woman or be seen as a woman. I felt afraid people would stop believing I was trans as a manifestation of dysphoria about parts of my body that aren't cis male passing.
