Your writing is amazing. Every young butch lesbian needs to see this instead of being sucked in by the gender religion and it’s false promises. Beautiful, vulnerable, authentic.

Beautiful piece of writing, Lauren, so clearly explained. (You've got cracking eyes, btw.) The photo of you and Ceri is wonderful, two young people with so much love between them and time to explore their futures together. x

Excellent piece thanks. Makes a real difference to read about a specific experience. I'm sure this will help other women in similar positions so it's hugely valuable

Straight male here.

You write clearly and obviously from the heart.

The contrast with the insanity of gender-woo is stark.

I hope your message is read by anyone being lured in, so they pause and reflect and choose the path you have if they realise they are trying to escape their sex.

Best wishes to you and your wife.

wow you are so amazing. i relate to your dysphoria basically exactly. when i was in fifth grade a baby i had a boy tell me to hold my arms up and jump up and down. i did because i was a stupid literal baby and had no idea and i wanted to play with my classmates. as i did i felt dirty, violated and like something was wrong. i felt preyed on. just one of those early dysphoria memories

Thank you for sharing your experience. It resonates with how I feel about being Lesbian and my own experiences that I've struggled to understand and put into words in relationship to the current ideology attempting to make me conform to something other than myself.

Good for you to resolve your quandary with actions consistent with who and what you feel the case to be.

You may have problems with receiving, but you have no problem giving of yourself. I found this powerfully revealing of your struggles and triumphs. Your description of the discomforts of puberty resonated with me. Now, girls not only have all of this to cope with but also the effects of internet porn on both their self image but also the degradation of young Men. Little wonder they want to escape Womanhood. Thank you for sharing.
