I’m so glad Abel is back and speaking his-THE-truth. I admire many detrans folks so much: you, ShapeShifter, Richie, Carol, Alexander, and so, so many more. I love your honesty, diversity of opinions and views, and most of all, your bravery. The butchery you’ve endured is unimaginable, but your strength and willingness to move forward is commendable and so, so appreciated. 💚💚💚🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm appreciating your channel more and more. You are such an intelligent, compassionate interviewer, picking through very delicate subject matter with grace and maintaining the dignity of your interviewees.
Abel: Please please make an appointment to get your T level checked! It's too easy and important to not address. Muscle mass, bone density, energy levels, mood regulation, memory, cardiovascular health, blood sugar & cholesterol are all impacted by inadequate levels.
I've heard from other detransitioners that the realization came very suddenly. I think they must have had doubts they might not have been acknowledging before that, and as soon as they start to adknowledge those doubts, it all comes crumbling down very quickly.
Interesting because that wasn't my experience at all. I was taking testogel every day and acting very masculine, then gradually I started playing with eye make-up and presenting like a stereotypical gay man. Then as time went on I very slowly stopped taking the testogel. Not on purpose, just some days I would forget to take it and slowly those days ended up out numbering the days that I remembered to take it, until one day I just... Stopped. And by then, I had already started wearing skirts and dresses and hair extensions. I never had a moment of sudden realisation that I was detransitioning. It sort of crept up on me slowly until people were using feminine pronouns for me again and I didn't even notice they were doing it because I didn't care.
yes. I remember hearing Corinna Cohn (born Corey Cohn) say that when the girlfriends he grew up with started having babies, he suddenly realized his “trans” state was “a failed fantasy.” 😢
I’m 70 and a woman. My life experiences are being brought up where my brothers were given a better education than me, were respected as altar boys and given more interesting toys, including bikes. I have menstruated over decades, been the target of three sexual assaults, suffered DV, become pregnant with two HG highly dangerous pregnancies, experienced childbirth with standard procedure episiotomies, breastfed my children, suffered peri-menopause, menopause and a female only cancer. What I have experienced as a female is standard procedure for most women, yet not one of those things ever experienced by a man, nor ever will be. A man can identify as a woman but he’s never been there - all he has is male sexist stereotypes, none of the pain, and everything for a male fetishist to gain.
I could relate to a lot of this. I think it was the community that caused my doubts, then one day none of it made sense anymore. Can't explain what caused that though.
I would be curious to know if Abel resonates with HSTS (homosexual transsexualism) or AGP (autogynophilia)? Or maybe a different framework for understanding the root of his GD? Perhaps male ROGD (rapid onset gender dysphoria)? If he’s OK with this line of thought, needless to say.
I believe for some it's neither, AGP or HSTS doesn't always fit the narrative. Sometimes it's just escapism and obsession. But not for sexual reasons. I almost transitioned. Because I was and still am a soft natured guy and was emotionally bullied by my peers. I socially transitioned for a year after a severe breakdown, it was a way for me to live as a different person. The persona I created was outgoing and wild, I actually made loads of friends and TBH it was fun. Although it wasn't good with regards to being sane nor good for me financially. After that year I was worn out with it all, as I knew I was lying to myself. However all the people that bullied me disappeared when I transitioned as they don't wanna hang around with a crossdressing man. So it done me a favour. So once the threat I felt from these people disappeared, so did the want to be female. The only hard part is it still gets me today, as I spent so much time during that year pretending to be female it created a split in my mind. And after seeing myself with hair and looking better than I did as a guy it's hard to look in the mirror and see an aging man. So I think something deeper is going on inside. But I'm pretty sure it's vanurable narcassism. The need to be seen. But I'm working with being a man soft natured guy as that's how I was born.
I am also a detransitioner. Thank you for being brave and speaking up ❤

Brave man, beautiful soul. I am glad he realized what is right for him before it was too late .

Abel Garcia has an extraordinary voice and is a big asset to the detrans space.
Cosplaying a woman is all a man can do. A man can never know what it is to be a woman.
Cosplay isn’t a fetish.
@@markshepperson3603 Who said it was a fetish?
@@barryledgister4496 Autogynephilia AGP is a fetish and why a lot of men think they’re trans or hide behind the veil of protection of trans.
