How to feel better when you’re “detransitioning”
(Or experimenting with your birth gender)
After all, I’ve masturbated to the idea of detransitioning for years and years. I am “detransitioning” for a week/month(s), it’s hard to not feel my sex addiction triggered
These are things I find helpful
Get out of the house, look up parks, museums, cafes, interesting neighborhoods around you, and just go out for walks. Go to board game nights or go to the cinema
Get genuinely cute and affirming accessories or clothes, not just kinky and hypersexual stuff. Let yourself feel the innocence of your birth gender
Sign up for a membership with your birth name, with positive experiences that you had, maybe you went out for a walk at the museum, and you sign up for their membership card with your birth name
Use guided meditation. Arousal means your body is very tense, and meditation not helps you to relax, but also find love and truth within you, and many of these meditations are genderless
Enjoy art as your birth gender. Listen to music, read books, read comics, paint, watch movies, go to exhibitions, see how you look at the world in a different perspective.
Be open to introduce your inner child to yourself as your birth gender, you would notice that you’ll be kinder on yourself and put yourself on a good path
Have positive experiences as your birth gender or birth name! Keep this side of you fresh, reclaimed, positive, energetic.
Know that you can always go back to your previous gender. Nothing is black and white, you can be a bit of everything. But if your birth gender longs to be seen and nourished, give them some love and attention.
Tell a friend. You can tell them you’re experimenting with gender. (Or you can even tell them you have a detrans/misgender kink and you wanna explore yourself more outside of it.) You can tell them you wanna try xx pronouns and xx name, to see how you feel about it. I have queer friends who’s excited for me, which made me feel calmer and more normal.
Know that you are not your trauma. Maybe there’s a lot of trauma tied to your birth gender, but those trauma isn’t the totality of them. They will have new life experiences, you will be surprised by how much life they have in them, and they will be so grateful to have a second chance in life.
I surprised myself by how much love I have found in this “detransition” process. Being he/they has taught me how to be strong and gentle, and I’m letting my she/her self be loved in ways that she couldn’t in the past.
Have a gentle “detransition”/experiment with your birth gender.
Please feel free to message me your thoughts or fears. Or inbox me your birth name with pronouns you wanna experiment with. I would reply to them with gentleness and care. You don’t have to commit to anything, I just want to give a space for our birth genders to breathe, to be and be seen. 🤍
Q: Isn’t this detransition? I thought you are a detransition KINK blog.
A: There’s a lot of sexless aspects of kinks!
For an example, pups might like to get fucked with collars on and their asses up, but they might still like to be softly petted, and drink water out of the bowl to refresh themselves as a pup.
The same can go for gender. It might be good to be called a “good girl/boy” when playing with your junks, but there’s also a lot of things outside of the bedroom to try. And as someone interested in mental health, I find this process therapeutic. I don’t know who I will be in 2 months, but right now I feel gentle and loving. And also naughty and kinky. And that’s good enough for me.
