That line about your young sister-in-law: "I wrote this for her but she is unwilling to read it" is heart-breaking. Thank you for your courage in speaking out. I hope you know how much you, like Jamie Reed, are helping other people.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I wish you the best as you move forward in your life. I am a 74 year old gay man. I also belong to Gays Against Groomers. I think it is very sad that people misled you. But it is awesome that you have a loving environment around you that supports and nurtures you.
> My issue was that everyone around me seemed obsessed with separating boys and girls by telling us what hobbies or friends we were allowed to have, something I did not understand.
Your experience was what it was, but I'm 67 and even when I was growing up the idea that either sex was 'not allowed' to have the hobbies typical of the other was already seen as a stone age attitude.
Your story took my breath away. Thank you for sharing, it was beautifully written. I would expect this piece, like Jamie Reed's, could open eyes and change lives as well.
Wonderful article. Truly enlightening to read about your life. I know Americans would say “your journey”. But it’s your life, and I thank you for sharing this and writing so well
I live in Montgomery Al and my “progressive” friends roll their eyes and say that doesn’t happen around here. Will show them this article for sure. Thanks for being brave!
Thank you for sharing. So beautifully written and I hope you are finding your peace and happiness. I should know not to sneakily read these at work!! I keep crying. I’m so happy for you.
This remarkable story exemplifies the dangers of "gender," meaning cross-sex ideation for those with disabilities. The cult is overjoyed to "be inclusive" but completely unconcerned regarding accurate and responsible communication.
I'm waiting for a section on this in The WPATH Files. Here's a link to quotes from a WPATH surgeon admitting that "complications" of surgeries to insert a tissue tube into the male pelvic region are almost inevitable, because "there's no room" between the prostate and the rectum.
Thank you for this. When you mentioned your sister-in-law my heart skipped a beat. It feels like this never ends but people like you, telling the truth, will hopefully put an end to the madness.
Who is being held to account for this? This should at least involve massive malpractice suits and loss of licensure etc. I hope those cases are coming...

Colin, we need to get these detransitioner accounts into the academic literature. They will be primary sources for historians of this moment.
You tell a heartrending and beautiful story. Your journey back to yourself, with the support of your husband, is amazing.
