It's #DetransAwarenessDay and I, a #detrans woman, wanted to ask the trans community the following:
How does reading/hearing about the topic of "detransition", including just seeing the word, affect you on an emotional level (the most)?
I said anger, but 'irritation' would be more correct. I see the word and think "ugh, am I about to spend time correcting the misunderstandings of an extremely poorly informed person about how common this is and whether trans medical care is ineffective or harmful"?
Regardless of how common it might be, the framing of medical transition as "harm done" to a "healthy cis body" is what many of those texts really imply, and that is, indeed, infuriating.
Repectfully, the question of how common it is is essential. If it were really the case that 50, 60, 70, 80% of people who underwent complicated surgical procedures came to regret the surgeries and undertook more surgery to undo them, I'd be the first to agree that was a problem.
