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.

Replying to @reclaimingtrans @mimmymum
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 terrible. I'm really sorry that happened. Stuff like this is why I want more resources for people who detransition for all kinds of reasons, including as a reaction to people abusing them.
