It's ironic that the existence of people who detransition doesn't actually invalidate transgender identitities, while the existence of ex-members of the ideological rad fem detransition movement does invalidate that movement. That's because the two groups make different claims.https://twitter.com/reclaimingtrans/status/1356577847654105089 …

On the other hand, the ideological rad fem detransition movement claims transition is ineffective, the desire to transition is caused by living as an AFAB under sexism, and feminist consciousness raising can eliminate the need for FtM transition entirely.

This means that if someone comes out and says it doesn't work, that has a far larger impact. Bc the key claim isn't that rad fem ideology might help some dysphoric people some of the time- the ideology seeks to explain all AFAB transition and eliminate the need for it.
