I wrote about the rules and guidelines of some of the support groups for detrans women I used to belong to. While well-intentioned, how these groups approached dysphoria, trans identity and transitioning reinforced my self-hatred/internalized transphobia.https://link.medium.com/doxHKjTA3db

Here are some of the guidelines from Gender Identity Dropouts, the first (short-lived) group I participated in. I can see how some of this could be helpful for detrans women but it was toxic for me as a transmasculine person. Overall, it's a weird mix of AA and radical feminism.pic.twitter.com/8fSnUBDaRf

This is from Autotomous Women's Spaces, a forum for detrans and desisted women I belonged to. (Broke up the screenshot so I could fit all the alt-text because being accessible is important.) It was created by some of the same people who started Gender Identity Dropouts.pic.twitter.com/MMVLJ7ZI9h
