Someone who previously underwent a gender transition, later detransitioned, and then transitioned again.
Detrans Friend: Hey, I thought you detransitioned, but I noticed you started going by a male name again.
Retrans Friend: Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot to mention it. Transitioning is the right thing for me right now, so I'm retransitioning. I'm glad I went through the experience of detransitioning though. It really clarified my understanding of my gender identity.
Detrans Friend: I'm happy for you! I know who to talk to if I ever decide to retransition in the future.
Trans Friend: Doing the paperwork for one name and gender change and going through one medical transition was hard. I don't know how y'all do it.
Retrans Friend: I'm never gonna financially recover from this.
