I promised myself I wouldn't tweet about this. But I've had a few beers, so here we go. A recent conversation I had annoyed me. This isn't a jab at that person - you know who you are and I love you - but this *mentality* gets to me, and I want to talk about it. 1/5

The jist is, "detransitioners are all either autistic, dealing with internalised homophobia/sexism and self-hatred, or are socially pressured into transition." This isn't true. While many may be one or all of the above, not all are. Maybe even most aren't - we don't know. 2/5

That's the problem. We *don't* know - we can't know. The relevant studies have not been done yet. I've spoken to many detransitioners who transitioned for tragic reasons, but not all of us are victims and certainly don't like to be thought of as such. 3/5
