At 02:06 he calls detransition as “a really awful word” because “90% of the time you read it, it's being weaponised.” He says that when you say “detransition,” people think you mean transition regret, which Dr Turban has a problem with This'll be a theme throughout podcast 2/x

At 02:30 Turban says detransitioners (like me) who realize that they've made a huge mistake and who regret having undergone gender affirmative transition are “not the reality.” He says “most of the time [detransition] probably doesn't mean they regret having transitioned.” 3/x

Replying to @ImWatson91
Thank you for listening to this tire fire of a person speak for so long. I don't think incould do it. He makes so many hurtful, incorrect statements and continues to try to speak FOR us, without speaking TO us. He aggravates me to my bone and I'm glad you dissected this for us.

I almost feel obligated to respond to him. I remember what it was like at the beginning of detransition and how emotionally vulnerable I was. If I had heard him say this back then, it would have really gotten to me. Now that I'm doing so much better I can't let his lies slide.
