It's very weird to see some people say I'm "attacking" detrans people. I'm not attacking anyone, I'm saying that in the detrans community I belonged to, transphobia was tolerated and promoted and that ends up hurting trans people.

I used to engage in the same kind of behavior I now criticize. I used to believe the same transphobic bullshit. I don't think I'm better than transphobic detrans people because I've made the same mistakes. People can change how they act and think.

Naming harmful actions and beliefs is not an attack. I'm not saying these are bad people who need to be punished. I'm saying these are harmful actions that people could change. I would love it if transphobic detrans people recognized the harm they were engaging in and stopped...

...but I'm also not counting on that happening. By naming the harm I can at least give support to those harmed and help trans people resist transphobia coming from detrans people. I can at least help counter harmful detrans narratives.
