Considering detransition after 15+ years due to danger and bigotry (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm an older transguy and "pass" very well but I'm considering detransition due to the dangers of the world. I'm in the US and it's no secret that trans people are being targeted. I've been considering if it would be worthwhile to stop testosterone, don a wig, and play dress-up as a woman until this trans witch hunt is over.

I'm solid in my identity, not depressed or panicked. I've been in many dangerous situations in my life and know how it feels to make decisions strictly for survival. I know I can withstand detransitioning temporarily or permanently if needed. Not being on T and dressing a certain way won't make my identity any less true or valid.

I'm at the age where I really don't care what my outer appearance is or how people perceive me as long as I'm safe.

I could use some feedback from the kind folks here, especially any older transguys.

Disclaimer: no part of this is meant to imply that there is a right or better path for my other trans bros, sisters, and siblings. There is no right way to be your true self beyond what you deem it.

I’m not trans but I am gender non conforming. I don’t think you’ll be in better shape. I was attacked back in 2013 for being perceived as trans despite not being trans.

You’ll be in the same boat. If anything, pass harder?

(Btw don’t mean any offense about “pass harder” but like grey man that shit? I think trans men tend to fly under the radar about what chuds care about)
