Estrogen was a milestone for me in my transition. I was nonbinary for many years, then 4 years as a woman on on E, now closing in on 2 years off, or back on T, as I like to say. I'm still walking through the world as a woman, but changing my hormones without changing my identity has allowed me to renegotiate my relationship to my body and see her differently.

I appreciate you putting your thoughts and experiences into words, given the size of your platform within the queer/nd anglophone world. More needs to be said, more possibility space opened, socially, to allow "detransition" to be what it usually is anyway, just another form of the original impulse to transition--not to reach an imaginary stability, but to be a continuous participant in the process of becoming.

it’s so comforting to read this. The pressure to feel perfect certainty kept me from scheduling top surgery for years! thank you for reminding us that grasping around in the dark is just the human condition 💜
