As someone who has actually more or less detransitioned, I really wish the news and politicians would just shut the hell up about gender.
Just let people make the choice they feel is in their best interest, and allow medical research to enable doctors to support people in making choices that are likely to lead to better long-term health outcomes.
If people would stop using my existence to politicize and demonize folks they don't understand, I wouldn't feel like I was "betraying trans folks" by making the choices that are right for me with respect to presentation and HRT.
This shit is exhausting. Just let people live their lives, and let doctors do their best to help them do so in a way that's likely to be positive long term.
I know you know this, but I just wanted to affirm that your journey is your own and you've not betrayed anyone
Thank you very much, I appreciate that a lot
I hope you have a lovely day friend
