This post might cost me some followers but I finally need to speak out about my experience.
For the past few years I identified as a transgender man. Until I realised that my transition was nothing else than a coping mechanism. 1/6

I understood that, to me, identifying with gender means to identify with toxic stereotypes. Meanwhile, I neither identify as a woman, nor as a man, nor as any other gender. I am biologically female and that is all I need in order to be a woman. 2/6
Detransition doesn’t mean that I simply live as a cis woman again or that I‘ve never been trans. It means that I choose to deal with my gender dysphoria in a different way and that I am now healing from the negative experiences that I made as a woman in our society. 3/6
I respect trans people’s gender identity, their pronouns, and I respect that there are people who have a different definition of what it means to be a woman or man. And I believe that we don’t have to hate each other just for having a different opinion. 4/6
I know by first hand how hard it is to be trans but the discrimination I faced back then was nothing compared to the hatred and loss of friends that I experienced after coming out as detrans. 5/6
This being said, I am done explaining myself and I am sick of feeling like my opinions are something I need to hide. 6/6
