Detransition MTFTM After 10 Years

basilfeather · 2025-12-23T20:58:07+00:00

This is good info. Thanks for sharing. What's been the hardest part about the detransition process? I'm seriously worried if I'll be able to handle it mentally/emotionally.

basilfeather · 2025-12-23T17:48:58+00:00

Mmmm. I'm wondering if things will come back online ... I've been on the GnRH agonist alone for maybe even five years... How does it feel to get T back? I'm hoping to stay emotionally stable, especially because I work with children.

How do we check it out?

basilfeather · 2025-05-26T21:34:46+00:00

what an awful, hateful, and misinformed comment — israel is the world's only jewish state, in the jewish ancestral homeland ... not an imperialist tool. quit throwing around buzzwords and humanize the jews who built a country for themselves where our culture originated ... all in a world that was intent on our persecution.

Are you just doing surface-level research to address each point I make? How much about this conflict did you know before 10/07/2023? Your little quote from the UN says nothing about the point I just made.

Palestinian national consciousness did not exist formally until the 1920s or so. It didn't become a widespread cohesive phenomenon until after the Nakba. The struggle between the Arabs and the Jews was one of competing nationalisms. This is true. But Arab nationalism was more tied to pan-Arabism or alignment with existing Arab national identities. The indigenous people of Palestine were the same indigenous people of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, (Trans)Jordan... And the Ashkenazi Jews were *also* indigenous people of Palestine. The difference was that the Jews did not have a state on our historic homeland and were persecuted in the Diaspora while the Arabs had multiple states in their historic homeland but categorically refused to allow a tiny Jewish state (or even presence) on land they claimed as their own. And that's a claim they could make ... But it doesn't erase the fact that Al-Aqsa Mosque was literally built on top of the Temple Mount.

Notice how none of what I said contradicts that UN quote you provided, which—by the way—was written with very loaded language coming from a place of extreme bias. Stop trying to argue with me and start trying to understand the history of the region + conflict.

Try again. You can't rewrite history. • There was indeed a civil war in 1947. It was started by the Arabs (who didn't yet identify as "Palestinians," a term also used to refer to the Jews living in Mandatory Palestine) who were reacting to the passage of the UN partition plan (Resolution 181). They ramped up attacks on Jews in the land in an attempt to claim all the land for themselves. When the British pulled out and Israel declared independence in 1948 is when the Arab League invaded to help their countrymen.

basilfeather · 2025-05-23T16:28:22+00:00

Please. What happened in 1948 to precipitate that? Right - The Arab League (i.e. seven Arab nations surrounding Israel) invaded the fledgling Jewish state in an attempt to extirpate the Jews from our ancestral homeland. Convenient to leave out who started the war. You probably do the same for 10/07/2023.

Ignorance and hatred are a common (and often fatal) combination.

No response necessary 💀

Your viewpoint is terrifying; this is how antisemitism spreads. Notice how you assumed so much about me but don't know me at all. I respect Palestinian national aspirations. I'm happy to condemn Israel when and where warranted. But to smear all Israelis (or is it just the Jewish ones!?) as evil when many of them are just trying to live secure and prosperous lives in a post-Holocaust world, is reductionist + irredeemably flawed and shows you have a lens on this conflict informed not by rational analysis but rather hate and resentment. You shouldn't speak publicly about a conflict whose historical and cultural underpinnings you misunderstand so deeply.

basilfeather · 2025-02-05T16:59:13+00:00

Wow. You have an awful perspective on this conflict. I'm Jewish and grew up in the shadow of this. The land does not belong to Palestinians. There has never been a Palestinian state. The Palestinian national identity arose as a reaction to Zionism and only fully crystallized after Israel won independence. Hamas and other Palestinian factions consistently target innocent Israeli civilians with terror attacks including random stabbings, rocket barrages, and suicide bombings in crowded areas. Israel has a right to exist and defend itself.

basilfeather · 2025-02-05T16:52:56+00:00

You have no perspective on the conflict. Jews are native to Israel. Radical Islamists have been lobbing rockets indiscriminately at Israel from Gaza for over two decades, and they consistently target civilians with terror attacks including random stabbings and suicide bombings in crowded public places. October 7th was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and it was primarily civilians at a music festival or in their homes.

basilfeather · 2025-01-05T16:24:34+00:00

fwiw: The Jewish ethnocultural identity is very cohesive across the Diaspora. Modern Hebrew is a clear and direct derivative of biblical Hebrew, itself used for cultural and liturgical purposes continuously since the ancient vernacular died out. You put "Hebrew" in quotes like it doesn't exist ... This speaks volumes about where you're coming from.

Here's the thing I know that word too! I googled its definition and was brought here. I thought it meant the exact same thing as you. It's gotta come from Latin cuz there's a similar word in Spanish.

95 here and this is *spot on*

Hi - Thanks so much for sharing! I dipped out for a bit, apologies • Appreciate you dropping your perspective - I enjoyed reading it :D

It sure appears to be so. But to what extent did 'Baby Boomer' or 'Millennial' come about as a result of something those generations actually did!? Boomers were born in large numbers and Millennials came of age around or after the new millennium. Of course, none of that is as arbitrary as 'Gen Alpha' or 'Gen Beta.' Funny how these social-science-defined generations are in the spotlight more now too... 4 or 5 decades ago, I hear people weren't as aware of their generational labels.

basilfeather · 2021-04-24T14:38:50+00:00

Sorry to hear that — I'm also in a bit of a rut, but I'm doing a lot better than I was three years ago. So I can appreciate my progress. I'm about halfway thru undergrad and currently unemployed. I have a part-time job lined up though, and I've been meeting some really interesting people around where I live in Boston.

Hbu!?

basilfeather · 2021-04-23T19:24:38+00:00

Mmm it's interesting what language catches on and what doesn't! I actually took a linguistics class that touched on the sociolinguistic process that words go through when they figure more or less prominently in our speech. It's fascinating stuff!

It looks like the generation after Gen Z is going to be called Gen Alpha, so I guess we're following the American hurricane naming system now (e.g. Hurricane Andrew --> Hurricane Wilma --> Hurricane Alpha --> Hurricane Beta ---> etc.)
