#DetransAwarenessDay was put together by a group of detransitioners to discuss our experiances and concerns. This has nothing to do with "the ‘gender critical’ transphobes." We won't let people be mislead to think detransition is a hateful thing - it helped many of us.

The problem is that it's being pushed prominently by Kiera Bell and transgender trend. If they weren't in on it it would be really different. I'm glad detransition helped you.

Keira bell is a detransitioned woman, why wouldn't she be in on #DetransAwarenessDay ?

Of course she should be. But she is also fighting to increase gatekeeping for trans people in the UK and I can see why that gives the wrong impression

Here's someone whose endocrine system is being controlled against her will by the GIC. Kiera Bell is part of a movement to hand even more power to these systems, and to the courts too. This is a problem for trans people and detransitioners alikehttps://twitter.com/MediocreDruid/status/1370367061478813696 …

I firmly believe that people should be able to change gender presentation, hormones, pronouns, names etc as many times in their life or as frequently as they want to. The gender clinics need to have an affirming, not gatekeeping role for this to happen.

The Keira Bell case focused on children receiving puberty blockers. Finding it's highly unlikely that young children would be competent enough to give consent to being given blockers or understand the long-term risks and consequences of treatment. It was to protect children.
