    Hello! I'm Elle. I'm a 20 year old woman who thought I was a man for 5 years. FtMtF detransitioner. I like to talk about the mistakes I've made, and how things will get better.

    This might sound patronizing but I mean it to be encouraging: the whole “I need to figure things out RIGHT NOW” is a very late-teens/early twenties mindset thing, the reality is that it takes a lifetime

      Emily So true. I remember philosophically analyzing everything. I had to know if I believed in God, if I believed in the death penalty, if morales can be culture dependent, what percentage of me was gay or straight. Now, I’ve accepted there isn’t really a clear answer for any of those things. Sigh.

      I thought I was trans from the ages 14-18. I lived as a boy in high school. Due to family issues, I had to move in with my Dad and finish out my senior year in a new school. I had the choice to live as a girl or as a guy, I still questioned myself even after thinking I felt 100% trans. I chose to live as a guy and it didn't stick well with others. People were nice about it, except a few kids here or there (that's always expected), and I was welcomed by my friends when I came out to them.
      I went to therapy because of what happened when I lived with my Mom (it's nothing too bad but it effected me a lot). My therapist was a very open person and had worked with trans people before, most of them actually transitioning with her help and some choosing not to.
      I went for a year, learned to fully accept myself and how I was born, and deeply considering my life as either a boy or a girl. I was accepted as both and this troubled me a lot because I then questioned why I expect to be treated differently as one or another.
      I thought being a woman was worse than being a man, so I wanted to be a man to be treated with respect. I was wrong to think this and the realization hit me really hard. I'm 21 now, I identify as Agender, and I'm completely comfortable with myself.
      I had a huge identity crisis, and I think I've always questioned who I was and what role I play in other peoples lives. I also saw that my ways of thinking aren't perfect and I have a lot to work on internally.
      I'm very thankful I never went too far into transitioning. And I'm sorry this is long, it feels good to rant.

For example, what sort of courses are you taking? What major are you thinking of going for? Other career goals? Good luck and be happy.

    Once I had began to pass very easily as my birth sex (female), that's when I knew my detransition was over. I had trained my voice to be more feminine (androgynous), my hair is in a nice style, the way I dress is feminine (I used to wear more GNC clothing while freshly detransitioned), my makeup routine is stable... Overall just accepting femininity has been a blessing.

      @WafflingWillow 3 роки тому +12

      @@mootpoint36 Not a dumb question at all, if you mean going off of testosterone. According to some other FtM detransitioners, estrogen, over time, tightens their vocal folds similar to how they were before the effects of T. Perhaps I was impatient to be registered as female so I voice trained a bit to a more feminine range. Estrogen has helped smooth it out a bit. We'll need more cases to determine if estrogen really heightens the vocal folds over time, because right now, I'm not entirely convinced it does anything substantial.

    I identified as "not a girl" since I was 12, before I even knew what trans was, and I was out publicly and passing for about two years before I formally decided to "detransition", I feel kind of weird about using that word because I never underwent medical transition but the process of just stopping seeing myself the way I had been for years was intense and I'm only now 3 years later finishing it, I'm 21 in about two months and I feel like I'm just starting the whole teenage finding your identity thing. I can be actually confident as a woman now and explore femininity in a way that used to just make me hate myself and it's so unbelievably healing and freeing to be able to go out in a dress or a crop top and feel comfortable, and I'm really grateful to you and the other UA-camrs who talk about their experiences with detransition for helping me get there. Seeing how much things are improving for you and how much happier and more hopeful you are makes me really really happy, it's really hard to realise all these things about handling mental health and make those decisions about what to do about it and I'm really proud of you, I'm excited to see whatever content you put out next 💕

Go and live your life and enjoy it! Love and best wishes from across the water xxx

    I love how you're allowing yourself to let go, be free from the past, have a new start, and work on self improvements! I'm of the opinion that all people need to be forward thinking and continuously and actively be self improving. You're doing that and it's commendable. Love from Michigan.

    I like the way you share your story, explaining your feelings in complete detail, and being honest with yourself and other people. I think you're a very smart in some of those areas. Being as young as you are you will have a great future. Keep up the great work and continue being helpful to others by being passionate and honest.

    I think ya totally hit the nail on the head when you said that you don’t want to talk about it anymore because you don’t NEED to talk about it (outside of therapy) don’t let algorithms talk you to go against your inner knowing. Keep being you and everything else will come.
    Also, finding you on here just made my night, thank you*

    I'm sorry you had to go through this experience, but it's made you the person you are today and stronger because of it (I'm a transguy but I'm proud of you for doing this thing that can be so hard) healing isn't linear and if these steps are what you needed to find yourself then don't let anyone tell you that you did anything wrong. I know it was hard but you're gonna be so much happier and healthier for this 😊

    • @catht9653
      @catht9653 4 роки тому +3

      Or... if you don't want it to be about de-transitioning, it seems to me that the underlying issue is the medicalization of spiritual/ emotional issues and also the question of what parents and society best can do when children make assertions that could change their lives. So keep the core issues? Or whatever you want! but I do notice that channels that do well tend to have a theme.... Best of luck to you!

    For five years I identified as a guy, and I also went by the name Luke. For five years I told others to call me that name along with he/him, and I spent so much time agonizing over passing. I had so, so much anxiety and depression. I'm proud to call myself a woman again, and I've come to terms with just being a butch lesbian... even if I still have dysphoria sometimes. It's a tough journey. But in my opinion, coming to terms with who you are rather than living a lie is definitely worth the pain. I'm really proud of you! (And btw, your voice is super attractive right now lol.)

Your boyfriend is a lucky guy to have such an intelligent, sincere beautiful person for his girlfriend. Good Luck with your continued education . Stay safe and well/ This Pandemic has given lots of us time to think and slow down and examine what is important and to set Goals for our future.

    Hi Elle... I don't know how else to put it so I'll just be straight out with it.... my aunt transition from male to female and I think it was the best choice for her she has never been happier.... unfortunately she passed away 12 years ago, it was suicide but unknowing. She loved her husband very much and he loved her... I miss them so much but my point is...... you are gorgeous and there are times where I hear you talkin down yourself. If it makes you feel any better if I didn't know I would have never thought anyting. My grandmother was a contralto.... a female bass singer. She had a five-octave vocal range so she could sound quite feminine but she could sing Bass with the big boys and would often have fun competing with men and would often win with who can sing the deeper note. You do not sound like a man you had a very soothing pretty speaking voice. I'm glad that you're finally able to move past this and I'm glad that you have a boyfriend. Even if you were straight up lesbian I would still be happy for you. I will not keep going on and on, I'm just trying to reach to the internet and give you a really big hug and say bless you sweetheart...
