I want to use my past experiences to help people understand the rad fem detrans women's community and transphobic feminism but I also know there's only so much that can be learned from one person's story. I'm not sure how much of what is true for me is true for others.
I'm not sure how representative I am in terms of people who get involved with anti-trans feminism or detrans communities. Maybe I have a lot in common with others who join those groups but maybe not. Hard to say without studying those groups, talking to many people who join them.
I'm just one person trying to make sense of my life and what sense I make of it will almost certainly change over time. I more I examine my own life and learn about other people's lives, the more complicated people seem and it becomes harder to explain them with simple theories.
I don't need my life to prove some larger theory. Of course my life fits into the larger whole of reality and I want to understand that as best I can. But I can't understand another person's life and what it means just from knowing my own life.
I try to stay humble when offering my perspectives. I've been contacted by others who find my writing relatable, so I know I'm not totally unique but I don't want to overgeneralize. I want people to have space to tell their own stories, make sense of their own lives.
I can't explain why all people detransition or join transphobic groups. All I can do is talk about my own experiences and what I think they mean. I want to stay open to new information and other people's perspectives. I want to keep learning and listening to other people.
