"I fear that the detransitioned women I interviewed are canaries in the coalmine. Not only for detransitioners, but for womanhood. They all, in some combination, found being a woman too difficult, too dangerous or too disgusting" -- Laura Dodsworthhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-detransitioners-what-happens-when-trans-men-want-to-be-women-again-fd22b7jhs …

We support young people on all journeys, so long as they feel happy and supported as their true selves. It is deeply unfair to present all trans young people as confused and not trans. Feel free to contact us for support.https://twitter.com/Mermaids_Gender/status/1180823708262440963?s=19 …

You have no idea what the detransition rates are. Detransitioners very rarely go back to the doctors who treated them so badly to tell them that they've stopped taking hormones.

In our experience, many people who detransition do so because life is unbearably difficult, precisely because of the hostility they face. But anyone who detransitions because that's their best journey has our full support. We offer that always.

I'm glad you at least acknowledge that people detransition for reasons other than social/familial hostility. For myself and many others, transition was a horrible mistake. One that we will, unfortunately, bare the scars of for life.
