I really love your thoughts here. The part about coming to terms with our finite, imperfect selves should be a bigger part of the conversation. It's a central part of the human condition for all of us, especially when we are young, and the idea of "transitioning" I am sure can be appealing in the face of this struggle. I love the idea of then moving beyond.
Personally, I think literature is a great help (to be or not to be....) and especially existentialism (the absurdity for all of us of being finite; the Fear and Trembling caused by daring to be yourself in the face of imperfections; I and Thou - daring to be fully yourself IN FRONT OF GOD). Clearly, this is a universal human challenge. Thank you for putting it in these terms.
So interesting to read that, apart from English speaking countries, detransitioners from Poland and Norway found their way to Beyond Transition. I can imagine it's thanks to Aleksander Linkowski and Łukasz Sakowski brave testimonies.

Thank you. I also think literature is a great help. I know it is essential for my own mental health.
