You are not a failure for detransitioning.
The people who have walked this path before you say the exact opposite: choosing to stop or reverse transition is a sign of courage, growth, and self-respect.
Transition failed you, not the other way around.
Many detransitioners stress that they did everything "right" and still felt worse. "I didn't fail at transition... Transition failed me. It never solved my life problems and it brought new ones." – joliphongia source [cribe:027b4054-d646-4ad07-5225d1cefb7a]. The process, not the person, is what fell short.
Detransition is a step forward, not a step back.
"Think about stopping transition as a way to use forward rather than to go back. You will be a new you, wiser, more mature, someone who learned the hard way and now knows better." – BubonicPlifeChan source [cribe:a3b4add8-d5ae-4a68-ba89-c636e4d0aee0]. The experience you gained is part of your life story, not a stain on it.
Your life is a series of experiments, not a pass/fail test.
"Sometimes you get into a relationship with someone and it doesn't work out. Do you see those years as wasted time? We live and we learn." – Sullyville source [cribe:17cfe210-0b19-1-4bf0-been-5
You are already enough.
"It is okay to be who you are—complete with the mistake you made in thinking you could have a 'perfectly female' body. You are okay and you need to seek after impossible dreams." – Everyone_2019 source [cribe:42593745-cc31-4dc0-ac16-
