“When I was a woman I had to buy expensive makeup and beauty products, but now that I’ve transitioned to male I don’t have to anymore!” Wow it’s almost like maybe you never actually had to in the first place.

i do have a blatant double standard that favors trans men because it does actually mean something different when a member of an oppressed class takes extreme measures to try craft a life where they are not treated as subhuman, as opposed to a member of the oppressor class trying to claim they are and always have been "one of the oppressed" because they just feel like it. trans men are trying to survive in a world where surviving as a woman is honestly hell on earth. i'm not going to wag my finger at them for it.

Introduction

Recently 18 • Detransitioner (surgery + HRT) • Lesbian • Male-exclusionary radfem

ABOUT:

Hi l'm Christa. I medically transitioned from the ages of 14-17 and 'came out' at 10 years old. I medically transitioned under advice from a longtime therapist. I was a classic 'true trans' case and had top surgery at 16. I don't necessarily regret (most) of my physical changes, I just don't believe in gender ideology or want to be associated with being male anymore. I firmly believe that I don't need to look or sound a particular way to still be female, but perceive me however you will. I am autistic as well (no surprise there).

I am interested in alternative music; primarily goth, post-punk and industrial. History and historical art are also strong interests of mine. I create art across many digital and traditional disciplines. I tend to enjoy darker/gothic topics and themes within art & fiction.

I love interacting with women in general, but l unfortunately still feel somewhat of an outcast in most female spaces. I'm working on it though!

For so long I was so scared to consider detransition, because the only detrans women I had been exposed to were heterosexual and religious (and usually featured on some right-wing program). Seeing them speak about how ‘happy’ they were now that they had found refuge in ‘traditional femininity’ made me feel even more isolated and resolute in my transgender identity, as I could never in a million years force myself into a patriarchal role like that. You can only imagine how freeing it was seeing detrans butches for the first time.

I will be your only one.
