For #DetransAwarenessDay, I wrote about my past efforts to create resources for detrans women, where I think I went wrong and suggestions for more effective organizing. To sum it up, I regret allying with transphobic feminists instead of trans people.https://healthliberationnow.com/2021/03/12/detransition-awareness-day-inconvenient-truths-and-community-building/ …
Transphobic groups exploit detrans people and their suffering, often using their trauma as propaganda instead of helping them heal from it. Trans people share many of the same struggles that detrans people face and have an interest in helping them.
I thought I was helping detrans women by working with transphobic feminists. Now I think that "alliance" is harmful and parasitic. I think there would be a lot more practical resources for detrans people if we had chosen to work with trans people instead.
Although I no longer consider myself detrans, I know the kinds of struggles detrans people face. I am willing to work with detrans people to create better resources. Detrans and trans people ought to be natural allies. Together we can create a society where we all thrive.
I've only met one person that detransed, they only did so because they couldn't cope with the 24/7 abuse they were receiving, the abuse didn't stop after detransitioning, 6 months later they couldn't take any more & took their own life.
That's heartbreaking. I don't know if saying I'm sorry is appropriate here, but we have to do fucking better as a society.
