In a 2015 survey of nearly 28,000 people conducted by the U.S.-based National Center for Transgender Equality, only 8 percent of respondents reported detransitioning, and 62 percent of those people said they only detransitioned temporarily. The most common reason for detransitioning, according to the survey, was pressure from a parent, while only 0.4 percent of respondents said they detransitioned after realizing transitioning wasn’t right for them.

Apparently, the idea is that our nonbinary or transmasculine identities are based in either trauma or internalized misogyny; both that can be overcome. Yes, as a trans man I have understandably separated myself from my identity as a “woman,” but this isn’t because I hate women or womanhood. It isn’t because of some trauma I faced while socialized as a woman that I’m struggling to escape. It isn’t a desperate attempt to flee structural misogyny. As obvious as it sounds, I transitioned simply because I am a man.

I don’t want to oversimplify a concept so nuanced and complex, but when it comes down to it, I identify as a man because I am one. The idea of my gender stemming from internalized misogyny seems ridiculous to me because not only am I a man, but I’m also a feminist ally. The two don’t have to be, nor should they be, mutually exclusive.

The idea that trans men are “lesbians in denial” is demeaning and wrong
