From the letter: "Alternative theraputic treatment for gender dysphoria is not offered by the established medical community...We need to be given the same level of urgency to care that we had when we identified as transgender and persued medical transition." You know what...

..not going to mince my words. That sounds exactly like what Ex-Gay people wrote when they campaigned for Conversion Therapy Alternative treatment for gender dysphoria? How can you read that and not think "being sat in a room and told 'this is because you are an Autistic person"

Another thing, if someone gets the wrong medical care, they don't tend to go after the existence of that medical care They don't try to kill it. They seek compensation for malpractice And don't tend to join hate movements before or after They don't do what Keira Bell did

So to summarise
#DetransAwarenessDay - EVERYONE involved has anti-trans views - One of the named organizers is only famous for reducing access to trans healthcare - Posie Parker and Graham Linehan liked it - Tiny group of actual named and faced detransitioners1 reply 7 retweets 70 likesShow this thread -
- Established history of rolling back access to trans healthcare - Seeking alternative treatment for Gender Dysphoria (treatment for being trans that isn't being trans) My (Michelle's) opinion - This stinks of an anti-trans attempt to push conversion therapy.

I am not saying that DeTrans people are inherently anti-trans because they are DeTrans. I am saying EVERYONE REMOTELY involved in
#DetransAwarenessDay are anti-trans. Demonstrably so. DeTrans or not DeTrans. Not buying this Anti-trans accounts in the replies blocked on sight3 replies 7 retweets 72 likesShow this thread -
Just realised this. The demand for alternative healthcare...not very specific is it? Been looking at this stuff for 2 hours. Don't think I saw a specific alternative offered. Wasn't this an awareness day? What were we made aware of? Seemingly, "why trans healthcare sucks"

sometimes it's 'therapy to help you cope with your dysphoria / accept your sex rather than change it' that's called repressing but ok

I did research on therapy for gender dysphoria back when I was detrans and found that there's little to no evidence of it working in the vast majority of cases. Depending on how widely you define "dysphoria", you can find a handful of cases where therapy seemed to work.

But even then, it wouldn't surprise me if some of these "success stories" transitioned later down the road. I found not a few therapists who obviously wanted to "cure" trans people who had to accept that they couldn't and that medical transition was the only thing that helped.
