A thread looking at #DetransAwarenessDay
Busy day editing a pod yesterday, wanted to see what I missed. Caught up now and must say...
Came out 9 years ago. Been a journalist on trans issues half that time
Every single detransitioner I've seen: Anti-Trans
Apart from 3

There absolutely will be more Detrans people who don't have anti-trans views. I am not magic But I've only seen 30-40 DeTrans folks online in 9 years and I've only ever seen 3 who don't follow anti-trans groups and aren't anti trans And 2 have re-transitioned in some way

The rest of the DeTrans people I have seen? Mostly faceless accounts on here (most of those today), few YouTube commentators and 3 YouTubers. For years I have been told there are thousands of them. Where are they? Why have I only ever seen maybe 10 of their faces in that time?

And where do all their followers come from? New accounts, immediately hundreds of people, total strangers mostly, almost all anti-trans themselves, love bombing? If someone makes a new account on here and says "I am transitioning I'm Trans!" that doesn't happen What is that?

Also why is every single major anti-trans thought leader pumping out content for DeTrans day? Linehan, Parker, LGB Alliance, FairPlay for Women, TransgenderTrend all put out content on this None of them have done anything without it being anti-trans in some way for years now
