When I see efforts to study detransition being accused of “transphobia,” a few thoughts occurs to me: What are they so afraid of? Don't they care about dysphoric youth? The existence of trans people already proves that transition helps many – that is not what's being questioned.

If there is evidence that transition also harms some, we need to know that so we can help those people, too. Anyone who accuses studies on detransition of being transphobic are ignorant at best and malicious as worst. Stop only thinking of yourselves for once.

The problem is that truly transphobic people are referencing detrans people in their cause, and some detrans are pretty GC as well, so detrans is automatically sus and it's captured a lot of clinicians and researchers.

I don't see being GC as a bad thing. When I see genuine transphobia I will call it out, but given the rise in gender clinic referrals detransitioners, we need answers. Dysphoric people deserve adequate care and they're not getting it because clinicians are afraid of activists.
