Recently, YouTuber graysons projects (yes, all lowercase, no apostrophe) announced she was detransitioning.
Her story checks every classic detrans box: tomboyish childhood, difficult puberty, anxiety, body insecurities, deep dive into social media, warm landing in the hugbox of the trans community. She came out as FTM at 14-15 and stuck to it for 6-7 years. Went on testosterone — she doesn't say when — but stopped short of surgery. Then she got shut indoors:
Anyway, that's all bland vanilla stuff, just totally cool and normal these days to dabble in schedule III controlled substances at the tender age of too fucking young to stop yourself from changing your body forever despite feeling fine about it overall. The real juice is in the comments. Tons of girls sharing similar stories, saying they were afraid of backlash because the trans community is so cold to detransitioners. Affirming their undying devotion to the trans gods while hesitantly suggesting that being a teenage girl might be hard, and some hard things might not be dysphoria.
And then there's the wack shit.
Most of the comments are supportive of Grayson. She pays the tributes, says she's speaking only for herself, slams the big bad TERFs and Blaire White and Kalvin Garrah for weaponizing detransitioners because god forbid they push people to learn from her experience. Everyone's still valid! Warm and fuzzy genuflections all around. That should satisfy her viewers, but — what do you expect? — it wasn't enough for some:
She tries so hard to say it's all okay. It's okay that she jumped on cross-sex hormones for a trend. It's okay that her doctor prescribed them without digging for the root of her distress. It's okay that a horde of kids came together online to tell her that any bad feeling in the body makes you trans forever and always. Forget forever and always! Gender is a journey, y'all. So her path is longer than the others. So what? A little wandering, cult-joining, drugs, whatever — who cares — it's good for the spirit.

I'm comfortable with my female anatomy, so time to shoot it up with T! Naturally. Galaxy brain. Wearing baggy clothes as a woman? The option does not compute.So I was isolated, and classes had been postponed, and I was just like in that room doing nothing because I had also quit my job because of COVID. Um, and I was just like alone to my thoughts, and so it made me question the legitimacy of my gender, I guess? And that kind of sounds bad, maybe it is, I don't know, but for context I haven't really had an issue with my body in the sense of wanting the female parts to be removed. I was just in general insecure. I think — I think I had more social dysphoria than actual gender dysphoria. Like I would never wear tight clothes because I didn't want anyone to know that I had boobs even if I wasn't particularly uncomfortable with having them when I was just by myself. And it was kind of the same with my voice. At the time I thought I really did want a deeper voice, but also I wanted it more so people would perceive me as male. I don't know if that makes sense, it doesn't even really make like complete sense to me, but I'm also just talking about like my experience and emotions, so I don't think that this needs to be an entirely logical analysis of myself. I'm not really sure at what point it went from I'm a male but I'm mostly comfortable with my female anatomy to maybe I'm not a male.
