I’m also very, very glad that I eventually became aware of the damage I was doing and changed course. There's still a lot I want/need to do to be accountable and heal but I don't feel stuck in the past anymore.

I wrote about transphobia in the detrans women’s community, focusing on my own past behavior. I’m sorry for my past actions. It’s very disturbing now looking back on what I used to believe and do.https://link.medium.com/Irf9GECMedb

Much of the transphobia in the detrans women’s community grows out of transphobia in parts of the lesbian community, particularly among some lesbian feminists. It’s upsetting to see how parts of a culture built to liberate women/lesbians has devolved into a hate movement.

I see addressing transphobia in the detrans women's community as part of a larger project of addressing transphobia in lesbian communities and reckoning with how lesbian feminists have contributed to transphobia in the larger society.

Thank you for writing this. At a couple of points you touched on the potential to trans and detrans people to work together and provide resources for both, which really just highlighted for me how sad the current state of affairs is...
