Today is a day I can't really ignore, because whether I want to mark it or not, my body reminds me regardless. Six years ago, conflicted, but optimistic, i thought I was doing the right thing getting 'Sex Reassignment surgery'. A Long Story 🧵

Now i get to the point where im detransitioned and the realisation that this is permanent is catching up with me. During transition, I was obsessive and deeply unwell, I cannot believe they were allowed to do this to me, even after all the red flags.

No one told me that the base area of your penis is left, it can't be removed - meaning you're left with a literal stump inside that twitches. When you take Testosterone and your libido returns, you wake up with morning wood, without the tree. I wish this was a joke.

And thats something that will never come back and one of the reason why i got surgery. My sex drive died about 6 months on HRT and at the time I was glad to be rid of it, but now 10 years later, Im realising what im missing out on and what I won't get back.

Then theres the dreams. I dream often, that I have both sets of genitals, in the dream I'm distressed I have both, why both I think? I tell myself to wake up because I know its just a dream. And I awaken into a living nightmare.

Because even if i had a sex drive, my neo vagina is so narrow and small, i wouldn't even be able to have sex if i wanted too. And when I do use a small dilator, I have random pockets of sensation that only seem to pick up pain, rather than pleasure.

So after cleaning myself up, I will find moments later that my underwear is wet - no matter how much I wiped, it slowly drips out for the best part of an hour. I never knew at 35 I ran the risk like smelling like piss everywhere I went.

Then theres the act of going to the toilet. It takes me about 10 minutes to empty my bladder, it's extremely slow, painful and because it dribbles no matter how much i relax, it will then just go all over that entire area, leaving me soaken.

Any pleasure I do get comes from the Prostate that was moved forward and wrapped in glands from the penis, meaning anal sex isnt possible and can risk further damage.

I've been part of a support network for 8 years. Today they sent me a notice stating that as I was detransitioning, I was no longer eligible to be part of the group. Trans people keep pushing away detransioners and act surprised when they fall further into GC circles. Smh.

The best thing you can do for your dysphoric child is to stay as far away from medical proffesionals as possible. Turn off the Internet, get them outside as much as possible and take the computer out of their room. The Internet fuels this addiction.

Detransition wave is here. Its in the data, news, social media etc. I told you so's, won't help anyone nor will it ease the wave of grief and anger. The next phase is the most important, how we receive detransitioners, many of which will still be working things out. Be patient.
