      Cool That's fine They should live their lives however makes them happy Saying that they've been "irreparably damaged" and that "thinking you're trans when you're not" is this grievous harm is fundamentally transphobic though

      The thing is, if you take a strictly neutral view of it -- "Thinking you're trans when you're cis and thinking you're cis when you're trans are exactly equally bad" -- the prevalence of the latter is obviously so much higher that bringing up the former as a problem is a sick joke

      But yes I know you're carrying water for obnoxious conservatives who play this card with every damn thing "If you think about it, *Christians* are the most oppressed religion in this country" "The people most pressured to renounce their sexuality these days are *straight*"

      It is very analogous to the "ex-gay" phenomenon By what the ex-gay folks think of as the dictionary definition of the term, no one, including today, had or has a problem with what they theoretically mean by "ex-gay"

      I.e. "I used to fuck dudes when I was in my 20s, then I stopped" Fine "I had a serious boyfriend and then I dumped him because I couldn't stand our 'lifestyle' together anymore" That's a shame, but okay "Now the thought of fucking dudes makes me sick" Sorry to hear it man

      "Instead I fell in love with a woman, and we got married in a church, and now we have a monogamous trad life in the suburbs with five kids" Happy to hear it, glad you're doing well "And I'm here to tell you other gay men are like me and need help" Okay NOW we have a problem

      The term "ex-gay" was loaded for exactly this reason To an extent, yeah, use whatever terminology you want to describe yourself, but "ex-gay" became the name of a movement about branding being gay itself as pathological

      This is the issue with the so-called "detransition" narrative, that there's a neutral, normal state, transition is something done to you, and "de"-transition is restoring you to normalcy The actually neutral way to look at it is that it's just two transitions

      You tried one thing, then you tried another thing That's what life is, a series of trying things You may well try a third or fourth thing in the future What's disingenuous is loading it with this significance about having a thing done to you and then undone

      Someone who "detransitions" is generally not equivalent to someone who never transitioned at all -- there's no going back in life, only forward, there's no magical rewind to an "original state" -- and while some are aggrieved and see this as "damage" many don't

          And everyone is entitled to their regrets, sure But when someone starts *weaponizing* their regrets to say they should have been *forcibly prevented* from making choices by Wise Elders who foresaw their regrets -- and this extends to *others* as well -- we've got a problem

          When I say the "abortion regret" narrative is "fake" I don't mean to say that there aren't real women out there saying all the shit that narrative consists of, that they were tricked into killing their baby by secular society and want to save other mothers from grief etc etc

          not to mention a lot of folks who detransition do so because the world is pretty inhospitable for trans folks and they can’t deal with it, or literally can’t afford it.
