I medically transitioned at 15 years old because I didn't want to be feminine. I was told by my parents, by doctors, and by therapists that I was transgender and I started believing it. My "dysphoria" was a desire to be treated like a human being and not the piece of meat women get treated as. I didn't want to be molested again. I hated my body and how it was seen by society. I didn't want to be undermined and treated as subhuman. I got top surgery at 17. I got my name and all documents changed at 18.
I quit T and detransitioned at 19, but even after seven years off T, I still grow a beard and I'm hairier than my dad. I will always look like a man. I live my life as male just because I feel like an animal mimicking femininity because of how my body looks. Testosterone literally ruined my life. And I will NEVER have the opportunity to be the woman I was born to be.
When I say transitioning minors can be insidious and life-ruining, it's coming from a place of experience. I know what it's like to be a young trans man. The informed consent model hurts young girls who just want to be treated like people.
