Kia Ora Devlyn,

Sadly for some, the de-transitioning experience for them was 'tragic' =Causing or characterised by extreme distress or sorrow.[If this was not the case, then de-transitioning would'nt be such a big deal]...Plus for the most part when I'm talking about de-transition I'm thinking more about those who do it 'after' having surgery...Pre surgery de-transition can also be quite traumatic, but at least one has still got the parts-even if they don't function as well...

If in some cases it was not such a tragedy, then I'm happy that they survived the traumatic experience...

De-transitioning can't be an easy choice, especially if one thinks of all the pain, stress and 'overcoming' feelings of self doubt it took to transition in the first place...

being deathly honest reading de-transition story often makes me unconfortable.

I am in for people should be able to detransition anytime they want, I guess my unconfort is because I often know very little of the people who detransition. I dont know about there choose, if it was something they truely felt was the right thing to do or if they somehow felt presured into detransition because of people being ignorant.
it makes me feel unconfortable not knowing those things.

I have mixed feelings about reading "de-transitioning" stories.  Reality - transitioning is tough for some and could be more difficult than to live the life they already have and know.  Transitioning needs to be done for the right reasons and some will start down that road and at some point, realize that they were doing it for the wrong reasons.  Transitioning creates problems and adds to the load of problems everyone carries and that load could become to burdensome.  All of this is known and it is not surprising that some decide that transitioning is wrong for them or wrong for now.  None of this bothers me. 

What bothers me is that they make me ask myself questions, questions that at times are uncomfortable and sometimes unanswerable.  I only hope that these stories and questions keep me asking and that one day, I find the answers.
