On a more positive note, since I reposted the scar picture, I want to put it side by side with a more recent picture. I am determined to thrive, in spite of what has happened.

Funny how they only do this with Christian iconography, it’s such a boring and completely safe version of “look mom! Look how edgy I am!”
You want to actually be subversive, why not do one of the other religions like Islam or Judaism? Or any other religion?
It’s officially been a year since I made this account and started publicly posting about detransitioning-
I’m in such a better place than I was a year ago it baffles me just thinking about it. I feel so much more confident and sure in myself in ways I never really thought…
If I had a dollar for every time a trans activist says surgery doesn’t happen to minors I’d have enough to pay to reconstruct the boobs they chopped off me at 16
I opened Twitter this morning and started crying. I NEVER would have expected the amount of support and kindness I’d receive by posting a video of me just talking about everything. I’ll try to read through everything as the day goes on, but thank you so much y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@jk_rowling
I was one of the detransitioners who told my doctor I was detransitioning, I told her I was in pain and was too young when this all happened, I got no help or support. The only response I got was “this is just part of your gender journey”
That’s not the response of a medical…

To be fair, it’s American McGee, he’s always dealt with mental health stuff in his work. So while a little odd at first glance, once I found out it was him making these, it’s not that out of line or anything and not sinister.
-Hot flashes
-Dizziness
-Nausea
-Unable to really keep food down some days because of being dizzy/nauseous
-Joint pain
-Extreme pelvic pain
-Very likely can’t have kids
All from being post-menopausal at 21 due to “gender affirming care”
Kids can’t consent to this.
#detrans
Through trans ideology I was deemed able to consent to have my breasts chopped off at 16, but to this day I’m still not old enough to walk into a store and buy a can of beer
“I knew our son was actually a girl because he was drawn to pink things and dolls”
“I knew our daughter was actually a boy because she hated dresses and liked superman”
No. Your kid isn’t trans, you’re just a narcissistic regressive sexist puritan medicalizing normal behavior.
If you’re a full grown adult who had children and THEN decided to transition, yeah I’m gonna think it’s really weird you would now advocate for the sterilization and removal of body parts from young people so they’ll never have that chance
I’ve seen a lot of people saying they hope I get back my life that was taken from me and that they’re sorry this happened. Thank you and don’t worry. If the best revenge is a life well lived then I’m gonna make a life for myself that will put ‘em all to shame!
Was very hesitant to post this just because I was hurting a lot in that first picture.
However I think showing the sheer difference here is simultaneously hopeful and damning.
A month before I decided to detransition vs now

Oh so now you want to say stuff to people’s faces? Megan if you can’t even tell the difference between the biological sexes maybe you should stay far away from this topic.
@HelenWebberley
Stop lying about us. I’ve lost so much of my physical health from transitioning.
There was no discrimination or hate or abuse at all, matter of fact I was treated pretty good by society.
Stop it. You sound ridiculous.
THE WPATH FILES
Advocates of gender-affirming care say it’s evidence-based.
But now, newly released internal files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) prove that the practice of transgender medicine is neither scientific nor medical.

@Sidewalk_Steve
I will never understand how a parent can have two or more kids dealing with what everyone is told to be a very rare issue and then not have any kind of deeper thoughts about what is going on there, even when I identified as trans I thought that was odd
If you’re an adult who is happy with your transition, I’m overjoyed for you. But what I’m talking about here isn’t about you. It’s about a predatory medical industry that goes straight to physical intervention instead of the root of the issue with mental health treatment.
@JeremyShawMD
She wouldn’t even make eye contact or really acknowledge my presence when I was there for this being filmed- she couldn’t even look into the eyes of someone who was hurt by what she promotes
Megan here has yet again shared something saying minors aren’t getting surgery. So I’m retweeting this as a nice little reminder.

#detrans
I was groomed, preyed on, and exploited by predators online as a very young teenager- and NO ONE around me questioned if the resulting trauma from that could have had something to do with my desire to escape my body at that age
@HazelAppleyard_
People in the comments of that post are awful wtf
“There’s no harm in it”
THERE ABSOLUTELY IS HARM IN ENCOURAGING DISASSOCIATION WITH ONE’S BODY AFTER TRAUMA

#detrans
When a clinician’s response to a detransitioner who came to them in pain and seeking help is simply “this is just part of your gender journey.”
That statement is not made to comfort the patient harmed, but to allow the clinician to ignore the harm done.
The fact that some people genuinely do not believe I’m biologically female just proves to me that y’all do not understand how drastic the changes can be from taking testosterone for as long as I did.
@HelenWebberley
Adults “affirming my gender” lead to being 21 with joint and pelvic pain so bad I can’t get out of bed and no breasts.
Does your “heart of hearts” give any shit about that? Or are those of us harmed just collateral damage so you don’t have to think about anything besides your…
@L__G__B
It’s not hate.
It’s every single cell of my body triggering it’s fight or flight response in a way so primal that is exclusively reserved for protecting from predators.
That’s my reaction to Jeffery Marsh.
The further away I get from the time I spent in transition,
The more determined I get.
The more free I get.
The more hopeful get.
I will take my life back.
I will take my health back.
I have so much life left to live and I’ll be damned if I let what happened hurt me anymore.
“You don’t want kids medicalized and made into permanent patients, therefore you’re against kids expressing themselves and don’t want them to be loved and accepted” has to be one of the biggest mental stretches I’ve ever seen on this app.
There really is a weird kind of hurt in watching trans creators who I looked up to as a teen, who’s videos and posts I showed my parents, who I thought were kind and nuanced people, absolutely tear apart and be so cruel to detransitioners who share their stories…
When you tell women that they aren’t woman enough because of their interests or because they’re tomboys, you know who also hears that message?
Young girls. Those same girls who hear the exact same sentiment from the transgender movement.
Girls who when they’re told again and…
Luka began medically transitioning at 16, but opted to detransition in 2022.
@ChrisCuomo
asks her what changed her mind. "I grew up and matured a bit more. I really thought about my future in ways that I was just not capable of at the time," she says.
#CUOMO
One thing I’ve learned over this past year of being public with my detransition is the fact that there are people out there who, whether out of spite or convenience, don’t want to see detransitioners get better or thrive in any way-
Proving those people wrong will be glorious.
This might be seen as a hot take/unpopular opinion coming from me, but I would honestly caution detransitioners, especially those who just recently detransitioned, about being visibly public and putting themselves out there in that way.
Detrans stories are important, but being…
When I first detransitioned, I was at one of the lowest points in my life, it truly felt like I had nothing left to lose. My body was falling apart, I was scared, I didn’t know where to turn. I was truly at my rock bottom.
But the one nice thing about rock bottom, is that from…
Dylan Mulvaney is your standard narcissist man who never grew out of being that one attention seeking theater kid. Yet all he did was put on glitter and a wig and women desperate for a new kind of stereotypical gay best friend cheered him on and gave him influence. Wtf.
There is no hate in anything I say, please don’t use it as a source of fear. If you’re a parent use it to light a fire of protection in you, a child use it to question, and if you’re an activist for that stuff- use it to seethe that I’ll never be dragged back down to your level
Twitter- “Are you sure you want to see this reply? It might be offensive or mean”
Me- *clicks yes*
The reply- “Wishing you all the best and I’m so sorry you went through all that”
Me- 😱😱😱😱
However will I recover
I was a scared kid who thought doctors were going to help me…and look at how these butchers talk about what happened to those like me behind closed doors
“Patients need to own and take active responsibility for medical decisions, especially those that have potentially permanent effects."
There is evidence within the WPATH Files of WPATH members, as well as its president, Marci Bowers, blaming their victims.
Idk who needs to hear this but there isn’t hordes of people and captured professionals telling children that they’re going to k*ll themselves if they don’t get knee surgery and harassing into silence those who regret that procedure.
So maybe it’s not comparable.
If a detransitioner has a positive thing to post about their health or future and your first reaction is to mock them or make fun of them for missing body parts- you’re a sick individual and have no place saying you are fighting to protect the vulnerable.
I think some activists need to take notes- notice how when I was called a man I didn’t fly into a temper tantrum or claim “literal violence”?? That’s because I genuinely don’t give a shit because my sense of self isn’t reliant on forced validation from strangers- just saying.
Something I think people need to understand-
My health issues caused by transitioning started when I was still identifying as trans, before I really ever considered detransitioning. And do you know what help or advice or any kind of answers I was provided from within that…
No child should ever have to suffer through what I’ve dealt with, and so you better believe I’ll fight to make sure they’re protected- I’m going to be the adult I desperately needed to protect me when I was young
I completely understand the curiosity of wanting to know what I looked like pre-transition. Maybe I will share that eventually, but this is just a reminder that what you’re asking for is pictures of me at like 14-15, so please understand my hesitance.
Vulnerable and distressed young people who are having issues with body image or self identify need competent mental health care to work through those issues, not surgeries and drugs they can’t even consent to the effects or understand the long term impacts of
@EndWokeness
God forbid a woman *checks notes* have short hair??? Wear a suit???? Seriously now, this type of attitude isn’t helpful, last I checked she’s not claiming to be any weird identity.
I sit here tonight, curled up reading a book and watching the snow, and for the first time in awhile I really feel like everything is gonna be alright.
There’s so much good in this world, and I can’t wait to work to be a part of it.
The Adam’s apple, the way my jaw is shaped, my hairline, the fat distribution on my body, the fact I do have to shave otherwise I get somewhat of a shadow on my face - THATS what testosterone will do to a teenager girl after a long time
@senatormachaela
@DontLegHatePAC
Letting kids grow up whole with actual care not experimental and sterilizing medical practices isn’t hate. It’s protecting kids and giving them a chance.
I think the people who say “you can always just get breast implants” to detransitioners, even when said with the best intentions, truly don’t understand the rather intense process full reconstruction would be, because it’s not “just getting implants”
Call it what you want-
Innocence, magic, childhood wonder, letting kids be kids.
It’s the job of a healthy society to help protect that.
And if society is failing to do that job?
Then it’s our duty to step up and fix it.
Trans culture talks constantly about cracking “eggs”, therapists can only affirm, they don’t help you with your past trauma no matter how severe it is, co-morbidities are being ignored in the name of “not gatekeeping”, so many places online and now in real life twist normal…
