    “I experienced transition regret. I had injected testosterone for four
    and a half years, I underwent a double mastectomy, only to very
    gradually realize over time that I had made a massive mistake and wanted
    to detransition,” Sinead Watson, one of the organizers of the Twitter campaign #DetransAwarenessDay, said in a YouTube video.

    “The people who experience transition regret are subject to an utterly undeserved stigma. We’re very often bullied, and insulted, and silenced whenever we try to share our experiences online, and it’s because people
    who discuss transition regret are often accused of having our stories
    and our experiences weaponized to harm our trans brothers and sisters.
    That’s not what I want,” Watson added.

    Watson clarified, “We don’t want to take health care away from trans people. We want the improvement of care for people with gender
    dysphoria.” She acknowledged that transition has helped many people, but
    she insisted that “there are also a growing number of people who went
    through medical transition who deeply regret it, who were harmed by it, physically and mentally, and we deserve the right to talk about our experiences, just as much as someone who doesn’t regret it has a right
    to talk about their experiences.”

    Don't do it Georgieboy. You might regret it. You'll never be the same.
    And Arnie won't love you anymore.

    If you bully other trans people then that's what you get.

    If you have gender dysphoria the risk might be worth it.

    There is no verifiable evidence that gender dysphoria can be treated in
    other ways than transitioning. None whatsoever.
    Gender-affirmative trans care *requires* therapy. That is, unless you go
    the informed consent route, which you can always refuse to.
    Scaring trans people away from transitioning and repressing their
    identities *IS* conversion therapy.
