I started socially transitioning and identifying as transgender when I was 12 years old, and I was fast-tracked onto medicalization at 13, starting with puberty blockers and testosterone. Before, I went on to get a mastectomy at 15, and I stopped transitioning at 16 when I realized that I had regretted my transition.

The team of the medical professionals that helped me to push me, really, to transition never presented any other options. They said that the rate of regret is less than 1 or 2%. And they even lied to my parents that I would be at risk of suicide were I not allowed to transition. At the age I was, I just wasn't capable of giving informed consent.

It's seriously affected both my mental and physical health. I'm still recovering to this day. I don't know if I'll be able to conceive a child or safely carry to term, and I certainly won't be able to breastfeed.

I mean, it really affirms not only my own experiences with going through the entirety of transition, especially the surgery, but also that of all of my other detransition friends who've also had these surgeries and these other individuals who've reached out to me and have gone through them.

It's almost kind of vindicating that there are studies now that are showing the harms of what these surgeries do, not only physically, but also psychologically. And it really takes down this narrative that these surgeries are beneficial to the patient, that they create better outcomes for mental health and overall quality of life.

I guess the culture around these studies and the research around this was more focused on prevention of cases like mine, prevention of regret, and mitigating the risk of detransition as much as possible.

These researchers, these doctors, these providers don't really ask questions that are geared towards people like me or outcomes like mine of regret, of detransition, of choosing to go out the other way, and of this potentially not being the right path. I certainly was not asked that by my own healthcare providers. I was never followed up with about how I was doing emotionally really.
