I transitioned, and here’s what happened.. (my detransition story) 

The “girly girl-look” is just something society has created. We, women don’t have to look a certain way in order to feel like a real woman. Everyone is different.

Moms don't realise the damage they inflict on their daughters when they chastise them for not being "girly" enough. It plants seeds of doubt in a young mind... Please parents - just love you kids for who they are - not who you want them to be. Praying for you, Maddy. Thank you for sharing your story.

fellow detrans woman here, sending you so much love. religion had nothing to do with my detransition, but i’m happy you’ve found the path that’s right for you. congrats on becoming a mom!!

Thank goodness my childhood was years ago, because i was a tomboy and wanted to be just like my older brothers. Today i probably would have been encouraged to transition. Luckily i was left alone and puberty made me realise i was okay being a girl, but I've never been a girly girl. I only wear a dress if i feel i should! Jeans and shorts all the way. It's evil what youngsters are being encouraged to do now.

What teenagers today aren’t being allowed to do is understand that almost all teenagers girls and boys, go through a difficult period when we are ‘transforming’ into adults! Some girls will never be ‘feminine’ in some ways and the same goes with boys and masculinity. That’s fine we figure it out as we go, as a teen I wasn’t a real tomboy but I wasn’t a ‘girly girl’ either but as the years went on I embraced my feminine traits. It takes years, decades to figure out who we are! I am 60 and still am 🤔.

There is no one 'correct' way to be a girl or woman. There is no one 'correct' way to be a boy or a man. There is nothing wrong with being a 'tomboy' or 'butch' girl. There is nothing wrong with being a 'camp' boy. There is nothing wrong with being L, G or B.

I’m a woman that has been married 42 years to my husband. I worked along side my husband doing work that ‘men’ do. Hard labor. I know men who don’t or had not worked at the level I did. I know women that work like I did. Hard rough labor. But at the end of the day we’re still women and proud of that.

I’m currently transitioning and I’m being told to stop/de-transition. Thanks for sharing your story Maddy.

Even tho I’m Trans and ACTUALLY sTrans- I believe this generation and the next to come are going to make LOTS of similar mistakes in this department!! There has never been a time where ppl are more depressed, mentally unstable, confused, looking to fill the void, addicted ECT I blame society’s collapse, technological advancement and lack of teaching the importance of fundamental self love acceptance kinship and emphasis on inner peace and self transformation! To Transcend enlightenment! Love and peace! Life is eternal, energy is unbroken & we know not what we do!

Dear gawd, I am so grateful this craze was not around when I was growing up a tomboy. Today at 61, I am thankful. I would have poisoned and mutilated my body too

Thank you for having the courage to tell your powerful story. I know there are people out there who want to silence detransitioners, especially those who found God. Keep standing strong, with the help of Christ. God bless you!! 🙏❤️

Thank you for sharing Maddy! Your story is a wonderful testimony to what is possible with the help of God the Father who loves you so much! ❤❤❤

Same, I grew up with all brothers. Wanted nothing more than to be exactly like them. I'm glad we didn't have Google or pharmaceutical companies telling us we were men just bc we liked to play in the dirt and not wear dresses. Today I absolutely LOVE everything about being a woman and cherish the memories I had and continue to have with my brothers. If my childhood were today, Dr's would tell my mom that I should be a boy. They gotta make that $$. Women don't walk around in dresses, high heels, full make up, hair done everyday. Women are here in many forms. It depends on where your looking.

I always thought it was unfair growing up that guys got to wear pants to church while I had to wear a dress and was told to "be lady like." I was glad that Disney at the time had princesses like Jasmine (the only princess that wore pants) and Mulan who were still both feminine but didn't fit the stereotypical girly girl look.

Hi Maddy. That was interesting because you were exactly the same kind of young girl that i was. Not girly at all but feeling pressure to be feminine and lady-like. The difference between us is that I had these problems over 40 years ago! There were no options, no solutions, and of course no internet to help me feel less alone. In one way, I'm glad. If I had been faced with the opportunity to transition, I think I would also have chosen to do that. And it would have been the wrong option for me too. I'm 57 now, I have 4 kids (some probably older than you!) It's taken me my whole adult life to be ok with the kind of woman I am - a rather masculine one. But the best part of my life has been having my kids, I would have been lost so many times without them. Keep speaking out, please. Your courage and honesty is what some people need to hear right now.

My mom is a tomboy, always has been and still is. She’s straight and had two kids. Still dresses like a cute boy, she loves her sneakers and jeans and always has her hair up in a bun. She has a bunch of brothers and was always the princess but she was raised on a farm and rode shotgun in her dad’s truck. Nothing about that made her a boy.

I don’t know why this came up in my feed but I’m so glad it did. I’m a 50ish Christian homeschool mom. Can I just say how brave you are to tell your story? Thank you. It helps me understand the younger generation and issues my kids could face. I’m so glad you had that encounter with God. He loves you so much, no matter where you are in life. You are a blessing to this world. Keep speaking out. You’re a good speaker and could bring others to Christ!

Maddy, your story/testimony is so encouraging! God is faithful and I am so happy that you and He have such a strong relationship together. Jesus changed my whole life back in 2005 when I got born again. I didn't struggle with the same issues that you did, but Jesus took away all my strongholds immediately and I have NOT fallen back into any of them since! Thank you for sharing your story and I pray that your bond with the Lord grows deeper daily. God bless you sweet girl.

Wow, what a powerful and encouraging story! Thank you for sharing your experience. Would love to hear more. ❤️

Very happy for you. And yes you dont have to wear dresses or makeup. Plus your pretty naturally.

my tomboy childhood sounded like yours, we’re KIDS. it’s so normal to feel this way/have these thoughts. and puberty sucksss for everyone. they lied to and preyed on you and put you down a destructive path

I'm 69 and I was a tomboy. I was jealous of boys as you were also but I never wanted to BE a boy when I was a teenager. Never been a christian or needed to talk to god. Things were different in those days.

I started crying when you said, "I gave them the spirit of Love". That's EXACTLY what happened to me, except I was given the spirit of love. We are Christians and taught our children what the Bible says about homosexuals. When my daughter was in their Junior year of college, they either texted me or announced it on FB. It broke my heart because they had just been home two days earlier and didn't tell me face to face, even after I had told them while they were here that I would never stop loving them, no matter what, because I kind of suspected something like that. I cried so hard when I saw the text, that my youngest child thought that my mom had died or something like that. As a Christian, I didn't know what to do, so I cried out to God and asked Him what I should do because I couldn't see myself rejecting them in any way. I have a relationship with God and have had a relationship with God for at least 30+ years at that time, so I know His voice. And He said "As much as you love Hannah, I love her more." He had to say that to me twice because a week later I cried out to Him again regarding this (I don't know, maybe I thought He would give me a different answer?") and He said the same thing "Jennifer, as much as you love Hannah, I love her more." That TOTALLY set me free. It was like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders. I realized it is NOT my job to judge people, it IS my job to LOVE people. So God has given me a Spirit of Love and, I know a LOT of ministers of God, who truly love God, and have a relationship with God, and they have at least one child who is a homosexual. And they ALL have responded with that same Spirit of Love. And have accepted their children plus their partners in love. I still don't understand it, but we don't get to understand everything - we just get to obey and follow His leading. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY - I'm still loving and believing this for my children.

Thank you for sharing your story. There is nothing wrong with wearing boys clothes and competing with boys. I think it's awesome. Happy for you that you found your way in the end! 😊

Maddy, thank you for sharing your testimony! I am so grateful for you.

What an amazing story. One great thing about being a parent and ongoing sanctification, is that you can identify the mistakes your parents made and do your best to do better for your kids, with all the humble hope that they will do better for their kids as well. Thanks for sharing a part of your story. And remember: parenting is building and creating. It has always done a better job for me at satisfying that creative urge that music, the arts or in your case: androgyny and trans may have temporarily have filled. You are able to build the culture within your own home and give the very best parts of you to your children. I wish you all the best.

"Any way, I was talking to God" .... How wonderful is that sentence alone. Communicating with the heavenly father and hearing his loving replies. ❤❤❤

(( 👋🏼. )). I LOVE HOW YOU SAID ‘GOD. LOVES YOU THE WAY HE CREATED YOU’ ,,, NEED WE SAY NOOO MORE ❗️

This story was so beautiful. Thank you for being bold enough to share this ❤❤❤❤❤❤ May God/Jesus continue to shower His love and blessings on you

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. May others be inspired to have these courageous conversations. Much love to you, Maddy. God bless 🧡

”Tom boy” is such a weird expression in english! I live in Europe and speak 6 languages, but there’s no similar expression in any of them. It ’s also so sad that real, wild and absolutely normal women feel ”wrong” if they aren’t interested in makeup and showing of their bodies - I think it’s partly an effect of media etc. brainwashing about how women should look like and behave all sexy. Interesting story of self discovery, you are amazing! All the best 🙌

I just watched your birth story and I am so happy for you. Thanks be to God! I pray you continue to have a wonderful, fulfilling life.

What a beautiful testimony Matt. I pray that God will continue to work in your life, that He will guide you, protect you and keep you under His loving wing. God is already using you on such a huge scale... just by bringing everyone your story. Continue on this beautiful path. Be the change you want to see in the world, just as Jesus led by example, so too are you. The more WE live good lives and treat ppl the way we want to be treated the more they will follow suit. You are beautiful, you are worthy and above all else... YOU ARE LOVED! Sending you so much love and keeping you in my prayers, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

I was 13 with a cellphone that's the problem

7:40 Is so powerful. That is what everyone needs to hear. Not just people with gender dysphoria. Everyone. We all need this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. That very brief statement sums it all up. God be with you and keep you strong and at peace, Maddy.

sending u love and light 🤍🤍🤍, i hope u have healed and feel better within yourself

Wow. Thanks for your honesty, vulnerabilities, introspection and sharing it for the world. ❤

Thank you Maddy. It’s a thing I went through in my head only. I remember wanting to be a boy at that age. At some point I realized that it was a rebellion to the restrictions of being a girl. I knew at 10 years of age that to be a woman was a disadvantage. Relatable in my small way, thank you again.

Objectively speaking, without any effort, you are stunningly beautiful!😅😂

All of this is so sad. Let kids be kids and discover who they are at different stages of their lives. These should Not be decisions children make.

I'm sorry for the commenters trying to bash your religion, people are forgetting how to respect others' views. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't believe in. I'm glad you're happy.

Wow. What an amazing story. What courage to tell your story. Keep your ears tuned to Christ and your relationship with him strong. You will be able to face anything.

Wow! God is so good! I have listened to many detransitioners stories but this was such a special one because of how directly and powerfully God spoke to you and you listened. Thank you for sharing your testimony!

Hi Maddy, this was beautiful to watch ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your story and your testimony. This filled my heart up and I’m so warm inside. That love and peace from Christ that you speak of!!!! ❤❤❤ Thank you for touching my spirit today.

Your video made me happy. May God continue to bless u and your little family with continued blessings....thanks for sharing more ppl need to hear your message that JESUS loves them.

I don’t know why this video popped up into my feed but for some reason I decided to watch it. You are absolutely precious and I know that you are going to touch a lot of souls with your videos. In whatever way that is, I know it’s going to be good. For you and for them💖

I was the same way, so glad the influence of today did not exist

You’re absolutely right! You were made just the way God wanted you. God doesn’t make mistakes and he doesn’t make garbage! You are a beautiful person and you absolutely don’t have to be “girly” to be a girl. Girls can do anything they want, be anything that want and act the way they want. If you’re into things that are more “boyish”, so what. That doesn’t make you any less of a girl. I’m very happy for you! The love of God and Jesus Christ is an amazing thing isn’t it? You are indeed perfect just the way you are! Don’t ever let anything or anyone make you feel like you are less than or not good enough, because that is just plain wrong! You do you and live your life, if anyone has a problem with who you are, that’s their issue, not yours.

I’m a 50 yr old female. Tom Boys were always accepted as the non girly, girls. Was never much an issue. Like anyone, it was more about personality, activities they participated in, and the circle of friends they had that mattered. Today, gender issues are pushed in society much harder and kids feel pressure to choose at a time when they are just learning about life and themselves.

Thank you for your honesty. Please continue to tell your story!

Thank you for sharing your story. The Lord has brought me a long way as well. I also had an encounter that changed my life. May the Lord bless and keep you

It’s amazing you have found Christ Jesus.

Wow truth sets you free and God loves you so much that he saved you and holy sexuality is the best self for all of us may you be a light in the darkness so the masses 🥰🙏 God is real

Wow , sounds like me when i was young . I would pray and ask to be a boy , refused to play with girls toys or wear girls clothes and scream i hate being a girl! I'm very thankful I was born in the 60s or I would have went down that path. I also was in a Christian home and a Christian since I was 7 but, didnt realize until I was older that I was exactly how God made me to be.

I wasn’t expecting it to do that way! I’m not a transgender person, I’m very happy with my womanhood, but it totally resonated with me what God said to you. So thank you for sharing. I need to stop running from His Love!

I hate it when "Christians" try to force you to be somebody you aren't. This is why it's so important to just accept boys playing with dolls and girls playing with action figures instead of having them think that could mean they aren't really boys or girls at all.

I thank God for you, and your powerful and courageous testimony!

Bless your heart. Sounds like you just wanted your family's acceptance for who you are, and once you got it, the protective identity you had built for yourself fell away. I hope your former fiancee is OK and that you will raise your child with the unconditional love you failed to receive. I also hope that your story doesn't invalidate other transgender people's experiences or make them feel less worthy of love and happiness.

Wow! What an awesome testimony of God working in and through you!! The Lord is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story!!!

You're wonderful. Your Video is very inspiring, thank you for making it!

Honey, I just want you to know as a fellow believer. I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself, and speaking the truth because of you, someone else will be inspired to speak up also, and be pointed in the right direction in the midst of their confusion, you are a light in a dark place right now. You are the voice of love and reason that is needed in this hour. God bless you on your journey. I’m so happy you’re doing well and you’re beautiful.

Sometimes it takes a drastic change in life to realize the truth. So glad you found the LORD to, and heard him. You are so very loved by Him. I pray for all who are going through the same in their young lives, just to be still and listen. There is nothing wrong being a girl wanting and feeling a tom boy, thinking girls are pretty, wanting to play with boys. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and vice versa with boys. Keep growing in your walk with God through Christ Jesus, to be the person He wants you to be, to be a mentor, and especially for your daughter.

You’re beautiful ! Thank God for what he has done in your life. Be blessed 🙏🏻

God bless you, Maddy.

Thanks for sharing your story, I have some questions for you: 1.What were your visits with the counselor and endocrinologist like? 2.Do you feel they worked to reinforce your own beliefs about transitioning, or bring up relevant complications? 3.Who paid for the visits? 4.Who paid for the hormone therapy (how much did it cost)?

Awesome story. Obviously not everyone will like or agree with your story. Just keep being humble and honest about it regardless. We’ve been warned about how the world will hate us because of Him so it should come as no surprise that many will not like what you have to say.

Thank you for this beautiful story about God pursuing you. God bless you and your family. Don’t be surprised if you start wanting to wear pink🤪. I’m half teasing… you should wear what YOU like, which reflects how God made you, even as a tomboy. My point is, don’t be surprised if your tastes change. My taste in styles has changed many times over my life (I’m 72)- it just happens.

I don't understand why the trans community has to define women's behavior as NOT tomboy. What??? Like we all had to love pink, big boobs, barbie dolls, and ruffles? We weren't allowed to like sports, love the outdoors, run and play, watch baseball games??? What ridiculous thinking. There is no RIGHT WAY to be a girl or a woman. You can be unmarried, an athlete, a career person, a drummer, pretty much what you want to be or what makes you happy!

So brave sweetie. Blessings to you.

i freaking love you and support you i know it’s hard to go back after you denied and denied for years but you are doing amazing. the roads not perfect but neither is the person walking on it.

Thank you for being courageous and sharing. I felt exactly like you when I was growing up, but never had the though of hurting my body. Hurting yourself is only taught in schools now a days.

It’s so awesome to see a detransition story that is mentioning God! THATS the right way to do everything

What a powerful testimony. God loves us, He is always there for us, He Cares about us and He's always in control. Thank you so much for sharing and God bless you and your family.

His overwhelming love is transformational. Good for you girl. My daughter is my bestie; love her. One Love.

I was a Tom girl and it was great nothing wrong with that. Get to play outdoors like you should and all the kids should. You learn a lot.

I’m really sorry they blatantly just told you you needed to go on T instead of getting you therapy first… that’s where it really screws people up, especially when they already are hella dysphoric and/or have trauma.

Be YOU and proud. You decide for yourself. ❤️🙏🌹

Jesus loves me this i know, for the bible tells me so...is but only a song, BUT wen u say Jesus loves me, i believe it. i am grateful to know your testimony. Keep uploading please. Love you.

wow! Amazing!! You explain everything so articulately and Im so happy you are out there.

If I'm supposed to love myself the way God created me, why did he create me with schizophrenia?

What self respecting, patient caring endocrinologist give a teenager testosterone?! What a disgrace.

What a powerful message. We have a grandson who has wanted to trangender and his mom put him on hormone blockers. We don't know how to support something we don't believe in, so we just love him, and pray for him.

I'm happy for you. I look forward to following your journey.

Te felicito! That’s the way it should be. Only God can make it happen, so many people confused and harming themselves, going through surgeries, hormones…. I hope this testimony goes around everywhere❤️🙏🏼bendiciones desde Peru

Awesome thank you Jesus! You are so loved ❤️🙏🏻

What a beautiful testimony. God bless you, your story will bless many people❤

I grew up as more of a tomboy and I’m so lucky that this propaganda was not around cause I would have been messed up. Now I’m a woman and I wouldn’t trade it for anything and I enjoy being feminine

Thank you for sharing your story with us! :)

I'm a Christ follower. Jesus changes everything keep walking with Him! He loves you!

What a testimony, thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you for sharing your experience

It is insane how much I can relate to that feeling of not being able to trust a man to treat me how a good man should, and so just taking into my own hands. And I think a lot of young women feel exactly the same. Luckily now I am building up my trust that there are good men and trying to change my mindset that became very anti-men. I am not that religious but I do feel like I am more on the right track and the universe or a higher power has helped me see myself for who I truly am and let myself be me. I felt so inferior as a woman for so long compared to men and that I needed to masculinise myself, but I realised I was being influenced by things on social media and I am so so so grateful I have been able to escape that and become a more balanced person, a more balanced woman.

No One has to change their gender to feel one way or another..can be straight and boyish or girlish

I loved your story. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

You need to turn up your volume can't hear ya.

So glad you were able to have a beautiful child. Thank you for sharing your journey. GOD BLESS

Amen sister so happy to hear this❤ God bless

amazing how many come from religious homes

I love that you renewed your faith and relationship with Christ.

Wow!! I love your story ❤ It gives me and others hope for family members that we love and care for 🙏♥️🙏♥️
