I'm still finding language to describe my experiences with detransitioning and the detrans scene I left. Ideologically-motivated detransition is a good start but I'm not entirely happy with it.

I can understand how it could be tempting to see all transphobic detrans people as self-hating trans people, all detransition linked to transphobic ideology as conversion therapy but it's more complicated than that.

I have no idea how many detrans people in the rad fem detrans community are repressed trans people. They could be in the minority for all I know. Regardless, it makes sense to criticize the transphobic beliefs and practices of that community.

Even if not all detransitioning in the rad fem detrans community is conversion therapy, people in that community are advocating conversion therapy for trans people when they encourage us to "reconcile with our sex" or pursue "alternative treatments" instead of medical transition.

And some of them are promoting conversion therapy for trans youth and arguing against conversion therapy bans specifically because they include protections for trans kids. That's messed up regardless of if they're really trans or detrans.
