      Here's an example of how detrans people's experiences can be turned into anti-trans conversion practices. Partners for Ethical Care created a "desistance/detransition" survey and are now using the findings to write a book for parents on how to "detrans" their trans kid.pic.twitter.com/5TyG9q7ZaP

      Facebook post by Maria Keffler read Some interesting findings from Partners for Ethical Care's Desistance/Detransition Survey (February 2021). We had 60 valid responses, which is a small (and also non-random) sample size. But there's a lot to take away from it. We will publish a fuller report on this survey in an Appendix to the book "Desist, Detrans, & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult" which will be available in April. end text Images of survey results in the form of pie graphs

      PEC's survey was targeted both at detrans and desisted people and at parents of detrans/desisted people. Through out the survey, detrans/desisted people are referred to as "the child" regardless of age, even if the person is an adult. Creepy.pic.twitter.com/5ZwdMXozlV

      Desistance and Detransition Survey This survey is for people who formerly self-identified as transgender (queer, non-binary, etc.) but have since desisted or detransitioned (accepted their birth sex), or for parents or primary caregivers of desisted/detransitioned people.
      Throughout this survey the word "child" is used to refer to the desisted/detransitioned person (even if the person was or is an adult); the word "parent" is used to refer to the parent or primary caregiver of the desisted/detransitioned person. The word "transgender" refers to any self-identification that is an alternative to living and presenting as one's birth sex.
      Question from survey
I am 
a child who desisted/detransitioned.
a parent or primary caregiver of a desister/detransitioner.
      Survey question
At what age did the child announce a transgender identity? *
Before the age of 10
10 - 12 years of age
13 - 15 years of age
16 - 18 years of age
19 - 21 years of age
22 - 25 years of age
After the age of 25

      They're upfront about why they're collecting this data, to help parents of trans youth try to get their child to desist or detransition. The survey includes questions about what parents did to get their children to desist or detransition and advice for parents.pic.twitter.com/APCukQaVtz

      Information and data gathered in this survey will be used to investigate what factors may have helped or hindered a transgender-identified person with respect to desisting/detransitioning. Information and data may be used in aggregate (to describe trends and/or tendencies across all respondents) or individually with respect to comments provided. By completing this survey respondents give Partners for Ethical Care permission to reprint and/or share with other parties any non-identifiable information, comments, or data.
      Survey Questions What do you consider the most important thing a parent must do after a child self-identifies as transgender, if the parent wishes to help the child to eventually desist/detransition?
Your Answer
Is there anything you would discourage a parent of a transgender-identified child from doing?
Your Answer
      Which of the following did the parent do after the child announced a transgender identity? (Check all that apply.) The parent *
moved the child to a different school (public, private, or other).
pulled the child from school and started homeschool.
took away social media and/or the internet from the child.
arranged for out-patient therapy or counseling for the child.
arranged for in-patient (residential) therapy or counseling for the child.
sent the child to live with a relative or close friend for some period of time.
did nothing different.

      The survey assumes that young people are being turned trans by "gender ideology", "affirming communities", and other external social forces. This could be used to justify restricting young people's access to the internet, information about trans people, supportive friends, etc.pic.twitter.com/x90Du8bz2b

      Question from survey along with result listed afterwards and displayed as pie chart text reads Where was the child FIRST introduced to gender ideology (the concept that gender is on a continuum between maleness and femaleness, and/o...brain/soul of one sex and the body of another)? 
elementary school (or earlier) 8.3%
middle school 11.7%
high school 16.7%
college (or post-high school education)
social media 35%
friends
a health care professional
I don't know. 10%
Internet
Books
Both friends and social media in middle school
High school/social media
A new friend introduced the concept but it was solidified when it was taught in health class
anime convention
      In which communities was the child actively encouraged and affirmed in a transgender identity? (Respondents could select mutiple answers.)
85% social media groups
76.7% friend groups
43.3% school
28.3% extended family
25% community groups (sports, activities, etc)
21.7% job/work
20% nuclear family (parents, siblings)

      It also linked being trans to mental illness. The survey asked about why people detransitioned/desisted, including such options as "became bored with transgender ideology" and being convinced that "gender ideology was illogical"pic.twitter.com/m21jP2blfE

      Does the child have any diagnosed or suspected health, psychological, or neurological issues? (Respondents could select multiple answers.)
75.9% depression
50% suicidal ideation
46.6% trauma
37.9% autism
22.4% suicide attempt
13.8% emotional disability
8.6% mental disability
6.9% physical disability
3.4% anxiety
3.4% social anxiety
1.7% other anxiety
      What were the reasons the child desisted/detransitioned, to the best of your knowledge? (Select all that apply.) The child *
was convinced by the parent's (or someone else's) arguments against transgender ideology.
found that transitioning did not help his/her gender dysphoria/discomfort.
had friends who desisted/detransitioned.
found that being transgender negatively impacted some aspect of life.
became bored with transgender ideology.
was convinced at school that gender ideology was illogical, or that the child was not in fact transgender.
