(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A young woman who was on the brink of transitioning into being a male, announced she is a woman on Tiktok and is being ridiculed for it. I was going to start testosterone today, said the Tiktoker, Maya. I was going to start transitioning into being a male, but i had a major epiphany the other day and I came to the realization that i was not transgender.
I devoted so many years to trying to convince myself that i was a malebut I realized that I wasnt.

Subsequent videos posted by Maya give insight into her condition.
When asked if she felt like she was being forced or pushed into the hormonal sex change, she explained that years of therapy encouraged her to go in that direction:
I wouldnt say pushed or forced but i was encouraged, she explained. I didnt really know what gender dysphoria was until I went to therapy for my eating disorder.
She said that therapists introduced her to gender dysphoria and encouraged her to continue down that line of thinking.

I was just a kid! Maya explained. During an intake for an eating disorder facility that i was at I was asked what my pronouns and what my sexuality were

From that moment on i started questioning my sexuality and my identity.
