I’ll never understand why some trans activists/allies get so defensive and hostile when it comes to detransitioners and #detrans discussion.
This isn’t about you.
#Detransition exists, whether you like it or not. And we deserve a voice just as much as you do.

I’ve never seen defensive or hostile behaviour towards the tiny number of actual detransitioners purely because they’re detrans. However, when those people use their experience to invalidate and try to limit treatment for trans people, then they’ll get the reaction they deserve.
Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I tweeted about my experiance with detransition yesterday, I didn't try to invalidate anybody, and for hours I was called a liar, my dysphoria was questioned, and I was told my depression is my fault.

Yeah - I've seen a lot of it. Apparently all a de-transitioner has to do to invalidate a TIM or TIF is exist and that justifies the most cruel and degrading takedown and pile on. Stay strong.
