Thread: Musings on detrans support and feminism. Hopefully this won't rub anyone the wrong way, as that's certainly not my intention. So, I believe detransitioners deserve support. By that, I mean detrans men and women. That's who I want to fight for. 1/8
The limited (but growing) support available to those who regret transitioning is almost solely focused on women. This is largely due to GC feminists supporting us, sharing our voices and spearheading the pushback agaisnt trans ideology lunacy. 2/8
Feminism is for females (yes, really). So, it focuses on helping women. I'm grateful for the support I've been given over these past 5 months, but I don't want to just help detrans women - I want to help detrans men just as much. 3/8
I've locked horns with the RadFems I follow/am followed by on here a few times, which is fine. Disagreement is good - it beats living in an echo chamber. Because even when we disagree, I know they fight for women and girls - including detrans. That's all that matters to me. 4/8
Because it matters to me that detrans women and girls are supported, it matters to me that detrans men and boys are, too. Hearing from a suicidal detrans man who feels he has nowhere to turn to will break your fucking heart. He won't go to Radfem spaces for support. 5/8
I guess that's why I sometimes engage in the aforementioned horn-locking with RadFems. I understand their anger towards men, I really do. I've suffered my fair share at their hands, I assure you. I live with those experiences every day. 6/8
But when I think about detransition - which is what I'm personally focused on bringing awareness to - I think of the men and women. I want to help the men and the women equally. It's perfectly fine if others just want to focus on one or the other, but I don't. 7/8
What I'm saying is, as grateful as I am to the feminists who've offered me support, I don't call myself a feminist because I believe that label belongs to women fighting for females. I want to fight for detransitioners, male and female. I hope that clears up where I stand. 8/8
Very wise. For me feminism is about equality for all, which means men and women treated equally. I hope support for detrans men and boys grows x
Thanks for such a thoughtful thread. I do indeed consider myself to be a feminist but I couldn't turn my back on someone, anyone, going through what you do as a detransitioner. 
I guess I’m a feminist but I’m certainly not a radical one. But I completely agree that ANY young person who finds that themselves in this position deserves help and support to get their life back on track - it wasn’t their fault and they’ve all been badly let down
