A thread.
So what is it to be "trans"? We can't collectively come up with a clear answer. People have described me as "realising [I'm] cis", "not truly trans" or even told I'll "retransition later".

I was a GNC kid. I was "truscum". I struggled badly with GD, I bare these scars across my chest. In 2012 I medically transitioned... And that doesn't go away.
People can't wrap their heads around this. I'm not confined within the walls of "gender" anymore. Call me "cis/trans/ROGD" - but I DONT FIT IN YOUR BOXES!
I detransitioned once I began to think outside of the box (and this thinking was only possible once I GREW OUT OF MY TEENS)... Surely everyone should be working towards finding THE CAUSE of their GD? The clinics won't do it. We know the state of MH services globally.
We have seen them retracting from the farce that an individual can be "born in the wrong body". I later realised appearing as something I'm not (no matter how much I felt I was) was disorientating and not fulfilling long-term.
My body was being starved of the very important hormones it needed, I was unhealthy in so many ways. My spirit was crushed and starving of love.
So what, trans is confirmed when you die trans? Or is GD often recoverable and perhaps just more extreme in others? Regardless, I believe medical intervention should always be a very last resort. Why should anyone have to go through the pain if it can be avoided?
