“LimpidÄ” is one of several aliases of Nicholas M. Terepka, an American teacher and activist in the ex-transgender and “autogynephilia” movements. Terepka has used a number of online handles, including:
- LimpidÄ
- americandog98
- Strigoi
- speeglet
- hawtdog98
- hawtdogg
According to ex-trans activist Ritchie Herron, Terepka is “lead of the detrans maleās group, which was set up in March 2022 by Limpida following the Genspect ran Detrans Webinar.”
Background
Nicholas Marian Terepka was born in February 1998. Terepka earned a bachelor’s degree from Binghamton university in 2019 and a master’s degree from University of Bridgeport in 2022.
As an adult, at age 21, Terepka took hormones for about two years before stopping.
Terepka shared the following information in an interview:
I began to believe I was trans back in 2013ish, when I was 15 years old. Over time, my obsessive compulsions with regard to gender, gender roles, and being perceived as a man left me almost incapable of functioning (among other problems, exacerbated by heavy internet addiction).
In college, I became a shut-in and joined a left-wing cult led mostly by women. It was towards the end of my time in that cult, in the summer of 2019, that I went to an informed consent gender clinic at a Planned Parenthood in upstate New York. Within about 45 minutes of meeting me, they told me I was an ideal candidate for HRT and gave me forms to sign. About a week later, the prescription came in, and I was put on spironolactone (a testosterone blocker) and estradiol. It took me about two years to realize I had made a massive mistake, and six or so months after that I quit HRT cold turkey ā which youāre really not supposed to do. That was back in January of this year (2022).
In another interview, the show nites add:
L is autistic and talks about living with autogynephilia which he says contributed towards his desire to transition to live as a trans woman. He also had a porn addiction which he said contributed to it as well. In this episode we discuss self-harm he did in the form of nail-biting and the high levels of health anxiety he had as a child. We move on to discuss his teenage years and how he felt an outcast for being a gender stereotype non-conforming male. He was bullied for being a sensitive and sometimes effeminate boy and would often be accused of being gay because he preferred hanging out with girls instead of hyper-masculine males who would pick on him. L then got into a toxic long-term relationship with a girl who was also autistic and ended up transitioning herself to a trans man. L says that this relationship involved him being asked by his partner to perform consensual but BDSM sexual acts on them. He was deeply uncomfortable with doing this and made him internalise fears of being a predator and rapist. He says ‘feminist ideology’ encouraged him to identify as non-binary and then as a woman and we discuss how hearing the phrase ātoxic masculinityā made him feel like his masculinity was something he wanted to escape from.
