I obviously don't know Keira Bell. But I have seen quotes from her that say, in effect, transition doesn't work because it doesn't change one's body enough. Which is... interesting.https://twitter.com/Lux_fae/status/1356689157557530625 …

Found a podcast by Keira Bell talking about her reasons for detransitioning Listened to it so you don't have to Wherein, at the 24-30 min mark, keira talks about her reasons for detransition and admits she did it for her ideology alone. Thread:

Being unsatisfied with the incomplete results of transition is a very specific complaint, and it's one I've seen echoed by a lot of the younger detransitioning women online. I think it's concerning.

As an outsider, it looks like shifting goal posts. They're no longer claiming you can be free of dysphoria by embracing your womanhood & loving yourself. HAHA DUMMY WE KNOW THAT DOESN'T WORK Instead, they want trans men to accept they're broken forever and nothing can help.

And, that really worries me. Because it is taking a truth that is very painful for some people, particularly binary trans people with the most severe dysphoria, and weaponizing it against them.

It is, to be clear, a true thing. Many trans people experience no or extremely low dysphoria post-transition. But the results aren't perfect, and no one claims they are. There will usually be differences between a post-transition trans body and a cis body of the same gender.

The trans community has done, in my opinion, an incredible job of normalizing those differences and encouraging people to accept and even celebrate them.

For people with very severe gender dysphoria, this can be alienating. They can't just accept their way out of their continued symptoms. If that worked, none of us would transition in the first place! So It festers and eats at them, and turns them mean.

Medical transition is such a personal process. For me, testosterone and binding was they key. I want top surgery bc I have asthma and binding isn't great for that, but otherwise I tolerate binding fine and wouldn't necessarily need surgery.

For someone else, top surgery might be the key and HRT feels optional or even non-preferred. And, for someone else, HRT, top, and bottom surgery might be necessary- or even feel not quite good enough.
