When I was 16, I planned to be dead rather than be an adult woman.

In my case, the distress was social rather than physical, but it amounted to suicidal ideation and persistent, continual feelings of alienation from womanhood. I still struggle with the latter and probably always will. Being female in a society that hates female people is tough. It's been made very clear in this culture that we're considered inferior to men, sexually, socially, and in every other way.

If you're active on Reddit, I recommend r/detrans. For YouTube, I would check out the Pique Resilience Project. All of those young women started transitioning around age 15 and were detransitioned by 19.
