Speaking for others

It is disappointing to see detransitioners who try to generalize their experience and apply it to others. 

They may still have cross gender feelings which their transition did not properly address and so they invalidate the results of others. The problem is that motivation can be very varied and each experience is unique. 

Ray Williams has been saying how happy he is having detransitioned but then has been jumping on the gender variance as illness bandwagon. He was clear in his early videos that his motives were primarily sexual in nature and assumes it must be the same for others. He states he didn't want to be seen as a "crossdresser" and thought there would be less stigma going the transition route. Not all transgender people medically transition. 

Ray could have saved himself the trouble by accepting himself as he was and adopted the gender variance formula which works for him while forgetting outdated labels. Some who are happy transitioned have even left comments saying they have zero regrets but are happy for him nonetheless.

Turns out that Ray is uniquely qualified to speak only for himself.
