      In my twenties, I dated a guy, before working out that no, really, I'm a lesbian, like I always secretly knew, but didn't feel comfortable telling the world, and wasn't expected of me. That doesn't make me any less of a lesbian. Why would it?

      Of course, some people are innately more fluid, which is also fine. Something tells me he isn't fluid and projecting that onto others, though, so much as just making things up to try to rouse hate in people.

      In my experience, it's only staunchly cishet people who have a vested interest in trying to "disprove" that gender and sexuality, and therefore LGBT people, exist. "But I don't have a sexuality! I'm straight!" I bet he "doesn't have an accent" either.

      The sad truth is that, much like "ex-gay" people, detransitioned people are far less likely to have discovered they're actually cishet and far more likely to be suppressing who they are again, in order to appease other people.

      In my experience, LGBT people don't hate them so much as pity them, even as bigots hold them up as examples of how "it's a choice" when it totally isn't.

      I don't know, maybe some people should stick to writing sitcoms.

      This also glosses over the existence of retransitioners, much like homophobes gloss over the existence of ex-ex-gay people. No, wait, it's *exactly* like that.

      This is, of course, all blindingly obvious. But that’s the point, isn't it?

      The bigots' point is to keep The Discourse permanently at the beginning, to ensure no-one progresses to the level of, say, reading Julia Serrano’s Whipping Girl, in which we can actually begin to have a conversation that doesn’t centre and mollycoddle the privileged.

      See also: "Is climate change real?" When your goal is to prevent progress, then keeping everyone at the first step, simply acknowledging the problem, forcing them to repeat that first step forever and never progress from it, is itself the solution.

      Replying to @zoeblade

      The difference is people who fool around in college aren’t permanently altering their bodies as many who detrans have. You say detrans folk are "actually cishet," but many of us have dysphoria and are same-sex attracted. You’re grossly oversimplifying this issue.
