Since this seems to be a point of confusion, let's start the day with a brief explanation of how I use terms related to detransition.https://twitter.com/billy_pilgrim85/status/1354056324963827713 …

A detransitioner is simple- anyone who medically transitioned at some point and then returned to living as their AGAB for any reason, including people who still ID as trans and live as their AGAB due to social stigma or financial hardship.

A re-transitioner would be someone who detransitioned and then transitioned again, again for any reason.

A detransitioned woman is much more specific. This describes a member of a small community of detransitioners who believes that either all trans men or the vast majority of trans men are suffering from internalized misogyny...

Thats not true at all!!! Thats a blanket statement and many detransitioners do not hate trans people its their own story of why it did not work. They are very important to our community as we can learn from them. Stop spreading false information please

Right, which is why I make a distinction between detransitioners generally (some of whom ID as women) and the "detransitioned women's community" who are organized around ideological ground and believe all trans men- including you, Buck, are suffering from internalized misogyny.

My impression qas that many detransitioners had internalized homophobia. Really uncool for you to be coming up with your own catagories and psychological theories...

Coming up with categories is part of my job- I describe what I'm reporting on and if it's not something that has a name it's up to me to name it. I didn't come up with any psychological theories, though- not part of the job, not qualified to do so.
