I came into contact with a lot of "ROGD parents" back when I was a detrans woman and I can conform that these people are abusive. Many of them treated me like an object instead of a person, using my experiences as evidence to prove their theories.https://twitter.com/WhatTheTrans/status/1369956026565468160 …

The way they tried to use my trauma was especially terrible and retraumatizing. I ended up taking down some of my writing because of how some of them used it. They came off as very controlling and absolutely horrible at respecting boundaries. I fear for their kids.

Like these people sketched me out back when I was still very transphobic, thought transitioning was medical abuse and trans people were delusional, etc. I thought they were fucked up back then and I think they're even worse now.

They're some of the most dangerous transphobes because they have access/power over trans youth and can draw on respect for "parental authority/parent's rights" in the larger culture. I'm worried about how much damage they can do engaging in/promoting conversion practices.
