Thoughts of Detransitioning - Postgender
Introspection into their life. Their transition, gender, society and privilege. Choices they have made, the effects those decisions have made and issues subscribing and relating to the male identity.
Very interesting imo.
A thoughtful video about deciding to transition and how it isn’t always obvious whether it’s the right choice or not: Carson feels that due to his age, an unaccepting family/profession, and a non-binary identity, transition might not have been the best thing for him — a brave thing to state.
The video also touches a bit on how transition isn’t an all-or-nothing, black-or-white process: there are alternatives if the negative consequences of transitioning are too strong for somebody.

”The answers given here relate to the experience of transgendered fellows who stopped testosterone treatment and whom I encountered over the last years (about 10) and may be not representative for your case.”
I saw this website referenced on Livejournal and thought I would share it on here.
While it is kind of poorly written and contains some potentially offensive information and wording, it did bring to my attention some aspects of stopping testosterone that I had not known about. For example, I did not know that taking your testosterone shot habitually late or on a non-regular basis could put you more at risk for ovarian cysts. It also confirmed my assumption that it’s better to kind of wean yourself off of testosterone by gradually reducing your dose instead of stopping “cold turkey”.
Detransitioning vs. Retransitioning
Detransition and retransition can be as hard as transition in itself.
