- In this deeply personal episode of "True Colours," we delve into the journey of Euryale Enitan, an American graduate student who made the difficult decision to detransition after nine years of identifying as transgender. In "Episode 2: Detransition," Euryale candidly shares her experiences, highlighting the challenges and regrets she faced throughout her medical transition.
Growing up in a conservative environment with rigid gender norms, Euryale struggled with her identity and internalized societal perceptions of masculinity and femininity. Influenced by older transgender individuals, she embarked on a path of transition, seeking a sense of community and belonging. However, as she began hormone therapy, Euryale encountered numerous physical complications, including genital atrophy, swelling, and rashes, which persisted long after ceasing hormone treatment.
Euryale's detransition journey also involved undergoing breast removal surgery, a decision she now deeply regrets due to unforeseen complications and the loss of future fertility and breastfeeding capabilities. She opens up about her struggles with post-surgical depression and self-harm, shedding light on the lack of comprehensive information provided to individuals undergoing gender transition procedures.
Throughout her narrative, Euryale highlights the challenges of accessing supportive healthcare and therapy services for detransitioning individuals, emphasizing the societal pressure and lack of understanding surrounding detransitioning experiences. She raises critical questions about the ethics of medical interventions for transgender youth, particularly concerning the administration of puberty blockers and hormone therapy without sufficient informed consent.
As she reflects on her journey, Euryale underscores the importance of allowing children to explore their identities without imposing predetermined gender norms, advocating for a more compassionate and nuanced approach to addressing gender diversity in society.

I’m a female but I felt very masculine when I was a teenager, I dressed as a boy because I didn’t like how women and girls dressed at the time,
But I just found out a was a tomboy girl who then grew up to like embracing my femininity by myself, I’ve never got any pressure to transform my gender or forced to be feminine, and I thank god for that,
I was just a kid going through a phase.
Please let kids be kids.
I had the exact same experience. It scares me to think that if I had been encouraged or even aware of changing genders, I would have made a huge mistake.
Ditto
Same here. I was a total tomboy and loved it. I'm a happily married woman with one great child who was also a tomboy yet like me, now she's matured she likes to dress up, put the makeup on and embrace her femininity when the occasion calls for it.
I was a feminine boy, didn't think about being a women as i liked my body and only didn't like how others treated me, then in later 20s i started gym, got addicted to it and became your "traditional man" lol
@@nomoskarramin637 and there’s nothing with that,
The more you take your time and embrace your masculinity, the more mentally stable and comfortable with your own body you’ll be.
Don’t listen to how misinterpreted masculinity is, but discover how beautiful it naturally is by yourself ,as you’re actually a man, and know what it feels like to be a man.
"Let kids be kids" ✅️
I mean this in the kindest way - if someone is so easily influenced by others as to change their gender, that in itself must be a mental health issue. I believe that being so susceptible to persuasion as to undergo surgery with such drastic, life-altering consequences, is not the act of a rational person and is symptomatic of a deeper underlying problem. That said, what about (instead of people undergoing surgery) we expanded our notions as to what is feminine and what is masculine? I believe if society was more tolerant of tomboy-women and girly-presenting-men then we would all be happier in general. It might even be enough to resolve someone's gender dysphoria without going under the knife and ending up infertile for the rest of their lives.
some were kids tho
She didn't have a family/community, and the trans group she met acted like a community that she was missing out, which is why it was easy for her to get influenced by it.
This is why kids need good adult role models else they'd find it themselves and its not always a good pick.
A lot of it has to do with it being pushed SO hard on young people especially and almost everyone is afraid to speak out.
We were going in that direction for awhile. There was way more acceptance of feminine men and masculine women in much of society. Then suddenly it became the focus to start doing body modifications.
@@santiagorincon1219 The point is that they are easily influence, so read properly, bcz you have no point. What is the point if they were kids? Easily influenced was and is the bottom line, brainless, stupidity and Ignorance.
as a detrans woman myself, i really feel for her and resonate with her story. i was on testosterone for 5.5 years, starting just one year shy of legal adulthood, and also had my breasts removed. i’m filled with so much regret. i’m currently fighting to try and get breast reconstruction covered. we need to bring back prolonged, non-affirmative therapy before medical transition.
Bon courage ❤
I knew I was trans by age 15 and I told my family by age 17. I decided to live my life as my "chosen" gender from age 18 - 28, without any hormones or surgeries, just so I could make sure this wasn't some phase. I'm 36 now, been on Testosterone for 7 years and I've never looked back. I'm so so so much happier now and it's even made me a more productive citizen (I couldn't even leave the house before because of how bad my dysphoria was). I feel bad for all these "kids" but I would never allow someone under the age of 21 to make such a permanent decision without some kind of counseling.
That is totally different. I agree everyone should have extensive therapy because it's helpful in general, especially if you're wanting to undergo such a serious change. I'm glad it worked out for you! :)
Thank you for telling your story.
All the detransitioners I've seen always say how easy it is to aquire hormones, this one saying you get practically get it the same day, whilst all the actual trans people say how difficult it is, that they had to go through xyz therapy sessions before they were even approved. So what is the truth?
I've been asking myself the same question. Although based on the feedback I've been getting from medical professionals including pharmacists where I live (which is in a big North American city) it seems like it's more likely that it is extremely easy to get a prescription for hormones & the starting of the transitioning process seems pretty easy.
The truth is it varies depending on the doctor, country, and laws. I know trans people who say it was almost too easy and they were lucky it turned out to be the right thing for them. There’s also the confirmation bias of detransitioners being the ones who stricter GPs would refuse hormones to. Those people never transitioned or found another doctor who was more quick to prescribe.
Personally for me it should have taken up to 2 years but with law changes in my area I might get them 8 ish months into my evaluation/ therapy. But definitely for me not as easy to get as some may have had it/ made it out to be. The program I’m in has really dug down into why and what makes me feel this way. I definitely don’t feel left out on information that should have been given.
It took me more than 1 year for me
for myself and my friends who have been/are currently on hormones, it was easy. i got my prescription from a clinic within two months back in 2013 with no therapy required beforehand. the only obstacle in my path was getting a parent to sign because i was a minor, which my dad did sign off on because he thought he thought it would help. i was candid about my mental health struggles, self harm, and suicide attempts with the doctor, and yet was still given the green light for testosterone within a handful of appointments. that’s just my experience, though.
It seems like a lot of these detransition stories begin with girls not being allowed to be tomboys and boys not being allowed to be femboys or just gender expectations constricting them which leads to them taking an extreme, usually after searching for answers alone and social media, and medically transitioning. I’m trans, but I find it sad to see that sometimes trans people can be very pushy online, too. It’s a very complicated issue, especially when discussing gender affirming care accessibility because some need it, but others really don’t.
Overall, I think it’s important to try to figure things out without the opinions of others and the internet, do your own research and find scientifically-backed information through peer reviewed sources, and to really give it some thought. You don’t have to take hormones to be trans. If you have serious gender dysphoria with your body and there really is no other solution, then do as you must, but if not, then maybe don’t and just socially transition.
Therapy may help, but be careful because they can be biased and push either for or against. Their decisions should be based on observation and science and be professional.
In the end, it is your choice, and whether it is people pushing you to do it or to not do it, they aren’t the ones making the choice and living with the consequences.
THISSS! I was feminine all my life as a boy and thought i was trans when i wasn't! Some people just want to be masculine or feminine! People can't respect that and when people change genders, they don't respect it either!
I cannot overstate the bravery it takes to detransition. You don't have social media to back you, if anything social media with all they can to silence you. Anybody can transition, a very select few are strong enough to recognize their mistake.
This isn't to say everybody who transitions did so erroneously, but I would argue the overwhelming majority do it for attention
I appreciate how it begins with how they perceived women and men. Too many, among us all, try too hard to be men/women and to please who knows who. Some of us maybe just need to be Human and not care so much about our gender. I totally know and respect that some people are truly transgender and must transition at the very least in identity, but we need to discuss openly about the importance of not being a caricature of gender stereotypes and about being authentic, yourself, more free from standards/norms, etc. The option to not be binary is also there.
It's a trap for young people that feel isolated. Teenagers should be given enough time and space to decide what life do they want...
This generation of youth, maybe the last one too, havent had a wave of punk rock (the last prob the scene/emo kids), these musical alt. subgroups usually would habe soaked up youth that feel different - the youth that now are transing.
It takes a lot of courage to say what you said. May God bless you as you continue to share your story with the world.
She just exposed the hypocrisy of those people who are forcing their beliefs on us😤
Oh but u are oppressed and is basically a slave to Muslim men ur nothing but child birthing machine and has no real freedom Muslim men can marry 4 wives but u can't where's the equality
literally just "i was raised to think women were weak and submissive, and im not weak or submissive. So i transitioned."
@@nekohmia we need more awareness campaign to guide our teens and kids
@@aisabegum3046 each generation has progressively become more left/central, which is a great thing as there's more diversity and less extreme right/left efforts. It seems like the US is just a breeding ground for lies tho. Guess we can thank the Republicans and Democrats, for selling out and telling lies to benefit the ultrarich, for that.
What God created is the best! No one should be changing themselves like that.
Of course, you won't be comfortable after transitioning because you won't align with what you are truely made.
Don't behave delusional and start getting inspired by the pretty appearance you see after transitioning.The happy faces you see you never no how someone is not having peace of mind and soul and believe it that's important.
Peace of mind and soul ❤
OMG. Really horrific
Thank you for sharing your deeply personal experiences and I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. It is all upside down.People who are glamorising transitioning need to see this sort of content but they are often singled minded when they want to transition. I tried commenting on youtubers channels as I felt like one person in particular was destroying herself and had made the wrong decision. I got a lot of hate back from channel members. Unfortunately many will not listen until it is too late.
Thank God people are talking about this. The love bombing when one joins the cult of trans is overwhelming. Leaving the Cult seems isolating and cruel. God bless her ❤️

Another story that is going to write history where we can all look back and see how sad and damaging this Affirmative Therapy is. My heart goes out to you & everyone going through this. This was one of the main reasons i didnt continue to become an LMFT because of the pressure on therapists to follow this agenda.
Very brave woman for sharing her story. Thank you for your insights and I hope that you get the healing that you want and that you can have a beautiful life going forward.
You are so brave for sharing your story!! Stay strong, you have no idea how many people are watching and that you are saving!! ♥️
Thank you for being so brave and telling your story. Hopefully this will prevent others from enduring a similar fate.
Conducting a medical procedure or even medication without clearly naming the risks and consequences is illegal and unethical. That is commonly known. I don't understand what medical services were thinking when treating this person without much thought. I am pro-trans rights (or Human Rights in general), and this brings up major ethical and health questions, and is telling about the quality of medical services in some parts of the USA. Changing gender physically is a huge decision, with consequences, and really must require a solid psychological analysis to avoid mistakes and of course solid information. Sounds like fast-food medical services to me.
She said she wasn't told side effects, or long term effects, but then goes on to say that teens ignore them when the doctors tell them. An inconsistent story
Mind you, it boggles my mind enough that I question what really happened. If it is real, US federal services need to act upon that US state medical services.
@@nekohmiashe said "the young teenagers doesn't care reading the form before signing them papers" ‼️‼️🧐🧐
There’s also the issue of abandonment of the patient when the patient decides they want to de-transition
People may have regrets. I have great sympathy for your facing up to these enormous challenges in your lives.
I'm sorry for what happened to you and thank you for sharing. I hope you grow to love yourself as you are
I was living as a man for 7 years. I’ve met Jesus last year. Now I’m back being a woman.
Exactly how you were created to be. God doesn’t make mistakes. I believe it’s something they put in our food or water to create such havoc.
@@jetmechgirl9022 something “THEY” put in your food or water? Really? Ok
@@enough1494 yep, they
@@jetmechgirl9022 who is “they”? In terms of the food and water comment. Thanks
Your goverment . We vote for them but they don't care about us.
Someone had to say that!!! Thank you for spreading the truth
Holy cow! Her eyes look dead. 😢
My thing is almost all teens feel weird in their bodies, they are going through so many changes and may think something is wrong simply because of how rough and awkward being a teen is. I think there should be extensive therapy prior to being able to change anything. I have a preteen daughter and shes definitely not happy with the changes going on, but shes set in the fact shes a girl, shes also never been exposed to public school or social media. I feel bad for anyone who transitioned and regrets it, i also feel bad for trans people in general because thats such a rough path in life.
This needs to be seen by a lot more people than this.
Her tone is so casual but her voice sounds dead Jesus Christ. Woke up after surviving four days of coma. Gotta say though, if this didn’t break her nothing else will.
i think human rights have been so ignored in this area. a person must understand the implications of any surgery, its risks aftercare, possible unwanted effects and the same with any medication. i think as sterilization operations are not permitted until 25-due to the huge number of requested reversals that someone making this bigger choice before then, when their minds have not finished developing, is malpractice. i also think psychiatrists should give consent, as changing gender, does not help with underlying issues.
Sad & heartbreaking 💔 there is no way to go back …. But that’s not in the brochure.
Pretending anyone could detransition from how time changes us all feels like a desperate clinging to eternity.
Kids are now a science experiment for doctors and so-called experts.
Tell your story again and again! And expose the community that got you into this.
This is so heartbreaking 💔😢I really feel for her❤️😢💔
My sister used to be a tomboy she used to hate dresses and want to wear out older brothers clothes this was over 20 years ago
My mum just allowed her to wear boys clothes but also forced her to wear dresses sometimes
She didn’t think “does my daughter want to be a boy”
I always wonder how many people avoided the trans cult just for being too late to join the trend. I recall hating being a woman as a teenager and i if i wasn't such a stubborn person i probably could have saw this as a way out of self hatred.
I have one of those Minds that won't stay put in my Brain and I'm aware of several past lives. I'm a 72 yr old feminine grandma but I also "remember" being a warrior. Most of my past lives were of men so I come across as androgynous...but can also get real Girly. When I need a Power Attitude I bring up the memory of the Warrior.
From what I understand sometimes when we Reincarnate we get stuck in a rut. If you have mostly been a male your Soul will choose a Female body....again and again until you feel comfortable IN THE BIG PICTURE being a HUMAN. What you don't learn you come back to until you do. And that can be about security, love etc. My son, who I dearly love but can't trust, has been my assassin many times.
That "therapist" should be ashamed.
"The adolescent population is highly vulnerable to driving under the influence of alcohol and social maladjustments due to an immature limbic system and prefrontal cortex."
Private parts used to be private. These days everyone, including children, are talking openly about their bits and pieces. Whatever happened to modesty?
actually, the lack of ownership of your own privates is long standing. see: circumcision
😢
This is heartbreaking 💔 🥺😭😡

Poor thing. She looks like she’s got lipoedema too. They shouldn’t have messed with her hormones, that triggers lipoedema badly.
This is sad , their doing this to a lot of young women which are not even fully developed to understand the Big decision their making. Such a Sad Sick World 🌍
No kid is born in the wrong body
Wow, that black woman has on so much makeup that I thought she was a white brunette for a second.
I agree. They gave her the wrong skin tone makeup. She looks very pale with it on.
She is black?
she's actually going through cancer treatment; she's wearing a wig and the drugs affects her skins appearance. she said so elsewhere in the comments of this video.
@@shade221 The makeup artist failed then because you wear makeup to look healthier, not to continue looking pale and sickly.
@@miamipalmbreeze there's only so much you can do with makeup if you're physically ill from a disease thats trying to kill you and drugs that are killing you trying to kill the disease.
They tell you everything when starting testosterone. Read the pamphlet
atrophy was never mentioned in my pamphlet
