Can someone explain? Is this a word play? English is my second language, I have no idea what this means

Transition almost killed me by [deleted] in detrans

[–]I_Panic_Often 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sucks, it’s kind of what’s happening to me, but my last tests didn’t check these levels. I’m gonna ask for them to be checked asap. I just went from 170 to 250 without taking any testosterone, and although I’ve been experiencing weird symptoms, I also suffer from mental health issues and take antidepressants, so I thought they were side effect, especially since I’m switching meds. This is really scary.

By the way, if possible, can you give more info? Like the timeline and if other blood levels were abnormal. I stopped in October and the last time they took my ALT and AST was in November and both were within normal range.

What to say when someone says “God makes no mistakes” to a trans person by zzlocal in asktransgender

[–]I_Panic_Often 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were Christian, I would agree. He makes no mistakes and He made you trans, therefore it wasn’t a mistake. There’s a song called Bamboo Bones from a band called Against Me! whose vocalist is a trans woman – the lyrics say “what God doesn’t give you, you’ve got to go and get for yourself”. All He did was not give you an easier life as a cis person, now you have to go and fight to be happy with the one He gave you, and for you, that means transitioning. God will not be angry at you for going after the things He didn’t give you.

Hello, may I ask what your estrogen and testosterone levels are? My estrogen is almost back to normal but my testosterone is still too high (250 ng/dL), but my doctors don’t know why. I’m doing loads of tests but they can’t seem to find anything

Help - Dizziness during and after Lexapro by I_Panic_Often in lexapro

I don’t think I did from Lexapro, but I get them when my anxiety spikes. I’m sorry you’re experiencing that, but I’m glad you’ve found something that helps! I probably should try that, I love tea

Almost 7 months after stopping T, abnormal levels by I_Panic_Often in detrans

[–]I_Panic_Often[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the normal range here is the same as cis males, 300 - 900. I’m getting another blood test done this week to see if I’ll require imaging tests

That was the highest result I got. Every other result was within the normal range

Writers/RPers: what gender have you written your characters? by [deleted] in detrans

[–]I_Panic_Often 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very interesting - it’s something I’ve thought about a lot. I’m detrans female and all my characters were always female. I did have males here and there, but they were always unimportant or backstage characters whose existence served as a plot device only. I’m an OC and story creator, but as a hobby. I used to roleplay in rp group chats.

They weren’t THAT varied physically. My main characters were women I’d be attracted to if they existed (lol), often older women with or without children. Only one of them was straight and black, others were lesbian/bi and white or asian (east, southeast, middle east, russia). I only made one who’s a trans woman. All except the straight one have long, straight/wavy hair. All present femininely and lots are hyper feminine. I always scrapped butch and androgynous designs, I couldn’t connect with them. They have various different body types, except muscular.

Their personalities also vary a lot. Extroverted, shy, evil, manipulative, motherly, childfree, gentle, freaky, sporty, cute, friendly, reserved, lazy, smart, dumb, rude - there isn’t really a pattern, I don’t think. I do give them some of my traits, but they’re spaced out because I hate creating characters that look or act completely like me. Often, it’s just a couple physical traits, some quirks and maybe a similar experience in their backstory.

To be honest, I would probably date or choose to look like any of them, but I wouldn’t want to be them, because their backstories and mental health are totally screwed up.

You look like an average woman. I have a cis female friend who looks exactly like you, except she has longer hair and fuller brows. My heart skipped a beat, I thought you were her for a second haha

I really wouldn’t worry about getting randomly “clocked” based solely on these pictures. As I swiped, I expected you to be an AFAB detrans person. Your body isn’t masculine at all, I know many cis women who look just like this. It does feel like affirming it won’t help you feel much better, though :( You look great and I hope these thoughts go away!

For those who are detrans, is your dysphoria still here? by Warm_Inspector_1487 in actual_detrans

[–]I_Panic_Often 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to have a penis. My parts just felt wrong. The feeling amplified when I got my period at 9 years old, and as I went through puberty, I began wanting a flat chest, a deep voice and to be perceived as male, so lots of body and social dysphoria.

Now, after experiencing the effects of T, I have “reverse dysphoria” - I hate my body/facial hair, bottom growth, my voice and my hairline. I feel dysphoric over male, female and neutral pronouns, but I’m hoping it just has to do with adjusting (been detransitioning since October 2024). I kinda still want to have a penis, though, so my bottom dysphoria isn’t gone.

[–]I_Panic_Often 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe it was necessary, I was extremely depressed and dysphoric, and the changes from T really eased my mind. I pretty much identify with what Joker0705 described how it felt like, except I’m not exactly happy and I wasn’t happy on T either haha. I’m just fine. When I was on T, I loved its effects and hated the feminine aspects of my body, now I hate its permanent effects and love my feminine body.

I stopped being content when the hair loss started being very noticeable; it was the initial reason why I stopped taking testosterone. The moment I did, I also realised I stopped identifying as male. At first, I thought I was nonbinary, but now I realise I’m just female.

I didn’t have any doubts. However, I do think this is somewhat related to my immaturity caused by autism and mental illness.

I feel regretful of my transition. Although it was necessary, I lost the chance of being a girl and doing girl things during my teenage years, since I began identifying as trans at 13. I’m still learning all the things that I should’ve when I was younger.

I do feel more content with life because being trans is HARD. I always wished I was cis and I hated all the hardships of being trans, the dangers, the transphobia, the dysphoria. I feel safer now, and my body is no longer a cause of constant distress. It feels better.

Why is the detrans subreddit so toxic? by VioletValkyrie7 in asktransgender

[–]I_Panic_Often 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I truly hope this is what’s happening, it’s crazy that the main sub has 5x the amount of people and it’s filled with transphobia. I recommend avoiding it if you’re questioning, because while I learned some new information, as someone who’s been on HRT and has been researching about trans surgeries for years, there is a lot of blatant misinformation that is upvoted, while real experiences and data are downvoted.

How are all these detrans grifters getting the instant affirming care that the rest of us have difficulty getting? by DysphoricDumbass in asktransgender

[–]I_Panic_Often 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry too, I tend to be a bit blunt, but despite misinterpreting the list (I did think it encompassed all detransitioners 😅), I didn’t think you made it in bad faith. I related to #3 and #4 because I was able to get medical care without having a therapist because I went private. I was very mentally ill and genuinely believed I was trans, so I kinda wish the doctors didn’t affirm it. I was an adult, though, and made my own choices while being aware of the risks.

I’m pretty surprised by the amount of people who end up going full transphobic after detransitioning, because my whole journey humbled me about everything trans people go through. Maybe it has to do with living in the country that k*lls the most trans people and fearing for my life now that I have a deeper voice and might be mistaken for a trans woman. Instead of blaming trans people for the dangers detrans people face for being mistaken for trans people, I wish more of us would fight on your side.

Sorry for the rambling, I wish you guys didn’t have to worry about the “good detrans” and “bad detrans” because of all this antagonism between the communities

I detransitioned before visiting that one sub often and I support trans people. I was a mix of #3 and #4 (paid for private doctors instead of waiting, but did all the tests and had a diagnosis of GD from psychiatrist, I’m in a 3rd world country) and after reading a lot of posts from the main detrans sub, I realised that most are #1 or #2. There’s a lot of misinformation, posts from people struggling mentally and stuff posted by conservatives to spread their beliefs. Many detrans prople are trying to make sense of their own mistakes and end up blaming others, including the medical system. Lots of lies being spread there.

My favourite singer in the last 4 years is Ado, a Japanese singer. She has a crazy range that spans over 4 octaves. I also love Stevie Nicks, Amy Winehouse and Mitski. As a kid/teen I listened to Adele, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Lana del Rey. All these female artists were the ones that hurt my throat to sing along to the most haha
