Thank you for speaking out. I’m glad you’re finding comfort in your self and your identity again.
Heck of a journey Ky. Thank you for having the courage to find your path and for speaking out.
I really appreciate you documenting and reflecting on your time in that community. It helps me understand what might motivate some people, and what support could be offered to detrans people to help them heal and hopefully prevent them from turning their traumas into transphobia.
