@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS I had EMDR as an adult and it helped with my trauma surrounding CSA but it didn't change how I felt about my body. I'm still glad to be transitioned and if my body changed back I'd do it all again.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS What does it matter? Therapy didn't help me so I did something that did. Why are you so bothered by how I live my life? I'm not hurting anyone.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS I had plenty of therapists as a kid. None of them ever helped with my dysphoria.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS No because the main trauma started when I was 7 and my dysphoria started when I was about 5. I had one traumatic experience as a baby but I don't remember it so I don't think it was that. I had therapy for it and that didn't change how I felt about my body.

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS It was both my breasts and vagina. I wanted a male body not a female one.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS I'm not a sexist. I don't think women are lesser, actually love women. I hated my body and could never accept it as it was. The problem I was having is that I was suicidal because of how unhappy my body made me. I don't use women's space I'm a trans man.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS I had trauma and I don't know if that's why I had dysphoria but it doesn't change things either way. I still had it and suffered because of it.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS I never said I had a gender identity. It always related to my body being wrong and making me feel sick. I had therapy as a kid and it was never helpful. I'm not sexist, homophobic, autistic or a sexual fetishist.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS Despite the fact I would have acted on my suicidality instead of being forced to live as I was before. It helps me because I can accept my body and not want to kill myself because of it.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS Counting transition as negative simply because I have some health conditions completely erases the benefit it provided. But that's how people like you would interpret it.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS It isn't callous to be sceptical about the aims of people performing these surveys considering the political environment. It isn't callous to want the best for other trans people.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@fairnotkind @lara_e_brown @GBNEWS It isn't callous to not want that to be weaponised when it ignores the fact that my life is much better because I transitioned.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@JackMerched No one said that to me. I still hated my body from being a young kid.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@TruthAgape I was raped from the age of 7 by my dad and got pregnant when I was 13. I was forced to keep it by my mum. It was horrendous, deeply traumatising and the labour was misery. It destroyed me, not that people like you care.

@thefempire50 He had bad results, plenty of us don't especially because we ensured we were a healthy weight before getting surgery.

@JournalismSEEN What the group that were outed for hosting a forum where parents discussed methods by which they could abuse their children out of being trans?

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@Midwesthomo77 It doesn't matter if it's a mental illness. If therapy doesn't work then we need something that does and for some of us that means transition.

[Mat hed @Mathed1993]

@RosieDuffield1 No it wouldn't, not unless they were being abusive towards their child to try and bully them out of being trans.
