How I Healed From Gender Dysphoria

You’re so amazing! Out of all the detransitoners I’ve seen, you’re the only one focusing in on the butch perspective. In my world, so many butches have transitioned. They need voices like yours. I love the way you helped yourself recover through art. It would be cool if you could help facilitate some type of art therapy for detrans people. Also, surrounding yourself with female music, etc is a great idea. I think all women should lean into female influences. It’s very grounding. Thanks for being you and for making me feel sane. Btw, I’m seeing Tori Amos on Friday!

My god, (or goddess!) - I’m so glad I found you. My best friend in college was a butch lesbian who transitioned in the past few years, and it always felt so homophobic to say yes, she’s a man, she’s really just been a man all along; and I was so afraid about her health and that she would think she’s too far gone and that she would feel so alone. But here you are! You’re a little older than we are and you’re off T and you’re happier and you’re finding community. I can’t tell you how much hope it gives me. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I hope I can show her your videos someday.

"Sorry for rejecting my natural existence." That's deep, Carol; I 💗 it.

Your YouTube channel is much needed. I’m a lesbian woman turning 29 & I have realised I have some sort of internalised homophobia (Which I need to work on, overcome). I’m also masculine presenting but very much in touch with my feminine side. It’s nice to see You a proud butch woman. Thank you for educating me with this channel sending love from the UK 🇬🇧

You have a gentle kind beautiful voice

Thank you soo much for making these videos. This stuff is so important to talk about. As a mid-20s butch lesbian with sex dysphoria & trauma, your videos mean more to me than I can express. ❤❤❤

Seeing your humor and bravery helps me being the butch that I am. Thanks so much for gifting us with your perspective.

Beautiful words! I’m just a straight woman that happens to find you by chance. Loved this video it even talked to me. There is not a right way to be a woman…just celebrating womanhood in your own way!

Listening to your story is very healing. From a woman to another one I think you're beautiful ❤️. Thanks for sharing, Carol🙏🏻

This was beyond helpful ❤️🙏🏻 Can't wait to check out the rest of your content. Thank you

I appreciate you being so straightforward and reasonable. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story, Carol. The tips and tricks you shared are so practical. It brought tears to my eyes as a cis-woman (never had any thoughts or actions about being trans) but what you described around acceptance and appreciation of the female body, its weirdness and absurdity, the way it jiggles, the way it changes over time was so powerful, and is something that all born females definitely go through.

THIS is what we should be teaching in schools: how to love and appreciate your healthy body. Health class should be about what a miraculous thing our bodies are, how to take care of them, how to accept things AS THEY ARE and learn to appreciate them. Thank you for another awesome video, Carol!

You talk about painful things, but your message is so beautiful it brought tears to my eys.

Thank you so much for talking about all this, including sex and body dysphoria 🙏🏻

I appreciate you so much, Carol ❤ Thanks for opening up about this.

Love your work, Carol 🎉

Your words bring me to tears. Tysm

Carol, I've been watching your videos and they are so insightful. I really liked your comments on healing rituals and making art. Have you thought about leading workshops for detransitioned women? I think it would be really beneficial for them. Workshops about loving your female body used to be common in feminist circles, and I think they need to make a comeback.

Thank you again Carol
