• I'm a former FTM trying to process my transition and the ideology and circumstances that led me to it.

• I am starting this blog as a way to offer my support to anyone who is considering or reconsidering gender transition. In the current climate, voices critiquing transgenderism are often intimidated into silence. I want to create a safe forum for those who have journeyed down, any distance, the path of transgenderism and now have doubts.

• Took me until I was 30 to realize I was a lesbian. Took me another 8 years and a trip through postmodern gender/queer theory, including a time identifying as transgender, to finally make peace with my body, my sex, and my orientation – not to mention my place in the world.

• I transitioned FTM at 16, was on testosterone and had a double mastectomy by 17. I’m 20 now and back to understanding myself as a lesbian, like I was before I found out about transition and latched onto it as a way to “fix” body issues created by the challenges of growing up in a deeply misogynistic and lesbian-hating world

• I prefer to remain anonymous for now, but go by TWT on the blog. I transitioned MTF at age 19, and retransitioned to male presentation at age 39. I never imagined that this would happen, as I believed that I had an essential female identity that required me to transition both socially and physically. However, there was always a part of me that was still restless, even after transitioning.

• I’m Hailey! I’m 21 years old! I’m detransitioned and disabled and a lesbian! I’m a radical feminist, a gender abolitionist, kink-, sex- and sex industry-negative. I like eusocial insects, walking around barefoot, The X-Files, Steven Universe and petting dogs.

• I destroyed my binder after years and years of struggling with dysphoria over my breasts. You can do it, too.

• This is the online diary of a lady in the midwest who was trans and now is not. There’s lots of processing of gender feels and tons of being unhappy about patriarchy in this online diary. She is always very happy to meet other detransitioned people

• Older gentleman with trans regrets

https://redressalert.wordpress.com/

• I transitioned ftm in the 90s, and subsequently stopped trying to pass as male. I have been “detransitioned” for many years but am just coming into real clarity about what it all meant. I’m inspired by the women much younger than me who are “getting it” much more quickly than I did, and putting themselves out here. I started my blog to let these young women know they are not alone, and to build connections.
• There is also a tmblr blog http://redressalert.tumblr.com/ which I think is the same person.

• The personal blog of a detransitioning, lesbian feminist anarchodyke.

• A blog containing the personal thoughts and ramblings of a maybe-lesbian-maybe-bisexual woman who lived as a trans man / non-binary individual for 2 years before realising it was worsening my dysphoria, rather than helping it.

• I'm a formerly self-identified trans woman now living as a non-gender-conforming gay male trying to unlearn transgender politics and help others who are struggling as I was.

• I lived as a transman for the past 7 years, without much relief of dysphoria or gender identity disorder. I have completed top surgery and a full hysterectomy during this process and continue with my HRT.
• I am not making steps toward any kind of detransition in a physical sense. I do not feel this word reflects the reality of my choices, and after spending so long in communities being unable to name my experiences, I want the language I use to reflect me. I am reidentifying with my womanhood and I am a gnc woman. The processes I went through to change my body are not reversible and I will come to a place of peace with it.

A FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF BOYS WITH GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER by Devita Singh

• 2012 This study provided information on the long term psychosexual and psychiatric outcomes of 139 boys with gender identity disorder (GID).
