I tend to assume everyone on Medium is American so this came as a surprise. I came to Brussels in 2004, was born and raised in England. I read your story about your experiences of the Trans Dark Ages. Nice picture. From my side of the fence I can agree that all we had was the occasional sensationalist headline, I think we actually thought it was a sort of urban myth ‘they can change a man into a woman now’ etc. I certainly didn’t know about gender dysphoria until recently, there’s a lot to learn.
On reflection, de-transition is rather like ‘going back in’ for a gay man. I didn’t think it through until after I wrote it, thanks for not jumping on my ignorance. I’m following your Medium now, so you may hear from me again. I don’t quite have the confidence to write to French, it never ceases to amaze me the places and subjects where I can find yet another person who speaks better French than me.
Bye for now.
