We are back!
As many of you might have noticed, we have been reducing the amount of work that we put into this project over the past two years. We’re happy to announce that we will be posting detransition stories again.

I had the opportunity to be part of Laura Dodsworth’s project about detransition featured by The Sunday Times Magazine. I am glad with the way I and other female detransitioners were given that space to share our personal experiences. I’m feeling proud that we’ve done this. 1/5

I don’t like the idea that I at some point lost my womanhood. I don’t think that any treatment, surgery or change of behaviour made me less of a woman. It’s exactly realising this that led me to detransition. I don’t need to perform femininity in order to be a woman. 3/5

I was born in a body that happens to be female and all the experiences resulting from that have made up my womanhood.
So no, I don’t “want to be a woman again”. I always was and always will be one. To me, detransitioning means embracing that rather than fighting against it. 4/5

No more looking away and no more running away. Today, I am "just" a woman, and that's a good thing. Since then, my gender has only played a subordinate role in my life because I no longer believe that a changed gender could solve my problems. Only I can do that." 10/10

Hi, I'm Eliott, and here is what detransition means to me. It felt important to share this because there are a lot of misconceptions about what detransitioning actually is like. There are so many ways to experience it, and I hope to see more of this diversity in the future. 1/3

Since that day, I finally feel whole as a woman and as a person. I feel at peace. I don't feel "manly" anymore. Instead, I feel I am the most accomplished version of my woman self. I'm female, bisexual, and I wouldn't be anything else. Being myself is the greatest blessing." 9/9

Transition preoccupied my mind and took away from the trauma, I began focusing on my body, looking for the same imperfections that my mother had found. I became consumed with thoughts of my body and sought to find a way to put an end to the constant ridicule. 4/10
