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.

That would imply that you have never engaged with trans discussions on the subject, because any will quickly make clear why trans folk are wary of detransitioners and those who claim to advocate for them but are, actually, simply using them to advance their trans hostile

Narrative. Trans people have no issue with detransitioners, of any sort, per se. It is the way even the possibility of detransition is weaponised to delegitimise transition, medical care, and the identities of trans people. Most of those pushing this are not detransitioners,

“per se” lol the fuck outta here. I've never attacked trans people and I never would. I know transition helps some. But here you are with your talk of “weaponization." I’m not a weapon against you, but you’re very quick to dismiss my experience because it makes you uncomfortable

You asking the question in the space and context you did is extremely suggestive of bad faith. Some intent can be assumed by a brief look at your tl. We’re not idiots here. If you haven’t noticed, trans people have been under a sustained online and msm attack for the past three

Years. If you expect us to not be suspicious and defensive you’re asking from a place of unimaginable privilege for most trans people, even a relatively privileged trans man like myself. But no, in themselves detransitioners present no threat. They may be less than 1%, but yes,
