Her gender transition set her free. So did her detransition. (19thnews.org)

Adriana Del Orden started her detransition two years ago. As a lesbian, she has no regrets about the steps she took when she was younger to live as a man. Changing her gender and body over time has made her feel, in her words, powerful and magical.

“I just feel like such a power source. The transition, and then detransitioning,” she said. Del Orden is genderqueer, which means she doesn’t fit into a male and female binary. She enjoys expressing herself as a queer, masculine woman, as well as embracing her femininity. And although she is no longer a trans man, her masculinity brings her a lot of joy — especially since she was forced to repress it as a kid.
