I mean jeeze, his 18th birthday?! That’s pretty young! What if he’s just a bored straight girl rushing into transition for attention or to fit in? I got T just a week after my 18th birthday, everyone knows I was a dummy transtrender, what’s the difference between me and Colton?

Here’s me (bored straight girl) a few weeks after I started T. (Feat. Pre-T boi Jesse) I had made plans for T for almost 4 years at this point. I wish I had something else to fill my time, since I was so bored, or someone like Arielle to tell me what was *really* going on.pic.twitter.com/uCnEtVuah7

Tell me please what makes me a bored straight girl who wanted attention and to fit in by jumping on the trans train, but makes Colton an Uber brave and inspiring REAL trans person who’s identity cannot ever be questioned.

Here’s some more! Bored straight girl starts looking mannish, d’aw :( funny how I let it go so far, two years on T, since I wasn’t a real trans person and never had dysphoria after all. Nope, never had it. I just saw other girls were having loads of fun.pic.twitter.com/uLKxHjf7WS

Now, this isn’t to say that trans activists (like yourself) or the Internet had no part in pushing me to identifying as trans. Like your friend Colton, when I started T everyone rushed to congratulate me and not once was I questioned or asked to explore my feelings.

I would not have identified as trans without the Internet, and the same goes for the other five kajillion new SUPER VALID 18 year old trans men who have popped up in the last 5 years. What makes Colton so different? So valid? So *real*?

I was as real as a trans person can get! Kicked out of my home, wore a binder daily, had identified as trans for YEARS, started my schools GSA, was an exec at my uni’s trans org. Someone like that HAS to be a real trans right? I wasn’t one of the trenders in YT cringe comps.

I didn’t (when I was out) call myself a guy but dress like a slightly nonconforming girl. I started T as soon as I came out. I became more transmed and believed my gender dysphoria made me trans, not SJW identity politics. I was on the right track completely, everything I wanted.

But I still detransitioned because of a million factors I can’t even begin to describe in a twitter thread. Things no one knew, not even me. Things I was never given the chance to explore, since the only thing that makes someone trans is identifying as such or having dysphoria.

Things that are now assumed to be attention seeking or being a boring straight girl by people like yourself, who once cheered me on without a doubt. So yay, Colton started T on his 18th birthday!

But when you and all the other trans activists abandon him and bastardize his life story if he decides this was wrong for him, don’t be confused as to why people are mad at you.

We don’t need your pitty or plastic surgery recommendations, we need this issue to be discussed with the nuance and respect it desperately needs.
