Hi. I would love to read more about your story. Where can I find it? My kid has also selective mutism since early childhood. She has also been seen by others as this mute weird kid, and believes her life will be fixed when she changes her gender. What made you to desist?

Hi! I'm on twitter @n4r0g8 and I'm in the process of writing more! I recently started detransitioning about two months ago when I got to the darkest point I'd been at and was going to take my own life. I have also developed a close relationship with God over the past three years, and I started feeling extremely guilty about what I had done to the body God had given me instead of learning to love myself. So when I got to the point I was going to give up, instead I prayed. Then it was like my hands were moving on their own and I ended up on r/detrans on Reddit and read everyone else's stories and realized I wasn't alone. That gave me the courage to go to my doctor and get prescribed estrogen to start to undo whatever can still be undone. I do plan on writing about what brought me to detransition more in depth soon, I'm hoping it can be helpful for your daughter! That's why I'm doing this, I feel like the system failed me from the very beginning because nobody knew what to do with me. So I've got to fight for the other kids being failed. Best of luck, I'll pray for you and your daughter.
