I wasn’t trying to use triggering language and I’m sorry if I triggered people talking about my own experiences. I’m not a transphobic person, at least not outwardly. I do struggle a lot with internalized transphobia and self-doubt. Especially in recent times. I still sometimes feel like I might be faking transness because of my regrets about GRS. I know I’m not, and I know that I was incredibly happy about every other aspect of my transition, but I still get these thoughts.

I never intended to hurt or invalidate anyone or support those narratives bigots use about trans regret. For the record I hate those assholes. When I came out about my regret on Reddit many of them commented misgendering me and trying to convince me that I’m a man because of my regret. I don’t support these awful narratives about trans people. I know that so many trans people do not regret bottom surgery, and I know cases like mine are rare. I know that this was my fuck up as much as I might blame the transmedicalists who said those evil things to me. I didn’t do research, I didn’t get second opinions. I trusted them and lied to my therapist to get something I never wanted in the first place. I fucked myself over. This is all on me.

I never intended to invalidate, trigger, or hurt anyone. I’m sorry if I did. I just want to be happy again, I just want to feel okay again, I don’t want to hate seeing myself naked and hate waking up. I’m sorry about pain or harm I caused.

    No way, I hugely appreciate your perspective, even if it was hard to hear. I genuinely feel for you and wish there was some way I could contribute or help, but in lieu of hug-boxing you and telling you everything is gonna be alright, please just let me say thank you for speaking about your experiences, as difficult as they were. It’s important that we talk about the good and bad things in the community so exactly what happened doesn’t happen to others.

    I’m just an internet stranger, but if you ever want to vent into the void or need someone to talk to, please feel free to message me. ♥️
