"Regret after surgery: hard to describe the pain"--frontpage story online today from Norway's mass circulation newspaper VG.
"The last thing Aleksander thinks before the anaesthetic makes him pass out is: 'Help me, I don't want to do this'." #Detransition #GenderClinics Image
Shortly before his interview with VG, Aleksander had uploaded to YouTube his story explaining how "bullying and exclusion made him start taking medication to become a woman."

" 'I'm the elephant in the room,' he says, smiling gently from the sofa. 'I am the uncomfortable truth about how bad things can go'. 'Focusing on gender and identity has become a pandemic in our society'."

Je suis en train de regarder le reportage de la @RadioTeleSuisse sur les #detransition.
Les reporters s'étonnent que les spécialistes des transitudes ne leur aient pas ouvert la porte. Peut-être parseque c'est aussi abscons que de vouloir discuter des
rts.ch/play/tv/temps-…
thèses anti-vax avec un infectiologue ?
Dès les premières minutes du reportage il est question de "transactivisme" et de "wokisme" de la part de la première témoignante.
Celle-ci, selon sa mère "s'est cru" trans parseque sa "copine" (un garçon trans en fait" était trans.
Mais avant, elle "s'était cru" lesbienne, parseque sa copine l'était.
Heureusement, tout est rentré dans l'ordre, cette première témoignante est redevenu cis et hétéro.
Tout ceci n'est pas sans faire penser au témoignage de Ky Shevers qui a cofondé le mouvement dé-trans

🧵: new @TheAtlantic #detransition piece
by @Kinnon_Ross & @historiadoryleo: 1/"trans-rights advocates & mainstream-media outlets should stop downplaying the reality of detransition, lest readers & viewers conclude that it’s a negligible issue. It’s not." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
2/"older studies may not adequately predict outcomes for today’s far larger, more diverse trans and gender-questioning population."
3/ "Ignoring detransitioners’ experience isn’t just harmful to them; it also means that doctors and scientists miss out on much-needed data that could improve gender-affirming care for future patients."

Mir wurde von einem Psychologen und Psychiaterin bestätigt, dass es eindeutig Transsexualität ist. Da ich ja schon immer den Wunsch hatte. Woher der Wunsch kam wurde nie erörtert. Ich musste einen "Translebenslauf" schreiben.
In dem muss man klar stellen warum man trans ist. Natürlich sucht man dann Dinge die angeblich drauf hindeuten, dass eine Transsexualität vor liegt. Man soll sich ja darauf konzentrieren. In der Phase habe ich nichts hinterfragt (woher kommt die Ablehnung usw)
Ich musste diverse Fragebögen beantworten. Das waren genau die gleichen Fragebögen die ich paar Jahre zuvor beantwortet habe für eine Verhaltenstherapie. Daraus konnte man auch eindeutig lesen, dass eine Transsexualität vor liegt.

Without knowing Kellie-Jay Keen, I would not have had the confidence to lead a delegation of parents and journalists into the Tavistock in September 2019. This was but one of many straws applied to the back of the GIDS camel. But it was an important one.
Thank you @StandingforXX
Somewhat incomplete minutes, but... Image
We told them as much in December...
Note:
The dodging of the question on #detransition
'mutual respect' refers to their cancelling our planned meeting because they did not like @OurDutyGrp media coverage. Image

🧵US: Detransitioners Walt Heyer, Billy Burleigh & @ChoooCole support Arkansas’ Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act (SAFE) , arguing that it is necessary to protect children from the horrors they themselves experienced. dailysignal.com/2022/10/25/det…
Heyer: "Kids need the assistance of trauma therapists to uncover and resolve adverse childhood experiences. Instead of encouraging kids on a path to unnecessary and destructive surgery, let’s affirm and love our young people just the way they are." #detransition
Heyer: “Kids under 18 need adults to step up and shield them from influences driving the social contagion, such as school, peers, and social media.”#detransition

We are a grassroots global network of gay men concerned about the excesses of "gender identity" theory and its impact on today's society

It is our position that: /1
#SexNotGender #GayNotQueer
'Sex' must remain a protected category in the law and must not be replaced by 'gender' or 'gender identity'.

'Gender' is understood as masculinity/femininity and as the cultural constraints placed upon individuals born a certain sex in complex social dynamics. /2
#SexNotGender
Any definition of woman/man beyond a mere biological framework (sex [female; male]) reproduces sexist patterns. Therefore, we support gender non-conformity among men and women, but certainly not the conflation of sex and gender/gender identity. /3

#TSGabschaffen und #SelbstbestimmungJetzt fordere ich als #detrans Frau schon immer und heute mehr denn je. Denn:
1. Mir hat der demütigende Hürdenlauf der "Begutachtung" nicht geholfen. Im Gegenteil, je größer der Druck, diese "Prüfung" bestehen zu müssen, desto weniger Raum für
die Entfaltung der eigenen (Geschlechts-)Identität. 2. Noch besser wurde es bei meiner #detransition: ein weiteres Mal TSG, zwei weitere Gutachten. 3. Personenstandsänderung aus einer Laune heraus existiert im echten Leben nicht. Es besteht immer ein Leidensdruck, der durch eine
Gesetzesänderung zumindest reduziert werden kann. Deshalb #AlleGutenDingejetzt für einen selbstbestimmten Geschlechtseintrag für alle trans*, inter und nicht-binären Menschen!

Terfler ne diyor? #thread
Terf diye yaftalanan feministlerin mesele edindikleri konulardan 3’ünü kendi bakış açımdan özetleyeceğim. Öncelikle, terf kelimesi bir kısaltma ama tehdit ve hakaretlerle bir arada kullandıldığı için artık küfür sayılıyor. Kadınlara küfretmeyin. /1
Terflerle translar arasındaymış gibi çerçevelenen kavganın geniş çerçevesinin toplumda herkesi ilgilendirdiğini örneklendirmek için bu silsileyi yazıyorum. Aslında feministlerin bir kısmıyla trans aktivistler arasında olduğu varsayılan çatışma, toplumsal cinsiyet kimliği /2
(gender identity) savunucuları ile bu ideolojiye, farklı açılardan karşı çıkanlar arasında. Bu ideolojiye birazdan değineceğim ama önemli olan şu: translar arasında bu ideolojiyi benimsemeyip karşı çıkanlar da var. Ben TR’deki ve yurtdışındaki feministlerin dikkat çekmeye /3

This is the 30th #detransition story that we've received! Thank you to all the inspiring detransitioners and desisters who contributed since the beginning of our project😊

"I am a bisexual woman in her 30s, who used to consider herself as genderfluid trans for about 8 years. 1/9
As far as I can remember, I've always been attracted to women more than to men... but I didn't feel allowed to be attracted to other females. 2/9
Probably because back then, the only examples of lesbian relationships I ever saw were porn imagery - so I internalized that idea of lesbians and bi women existing only as a male fantasy... 3/9

"I didn’t want to be seen as a woman–as a lesbian–and I didn’t want to ask why."
Great essay by detransitioned Max Robson, 22 y/o. Her story, queer culture, and the political implications.

"I didn’t know anything. It was just so comforting to think that I was born wrong. If my body was the problem, it could be solved. Transition had clearly defined steps. Everybody chose from a set list, and when it was over, they were properly assembled."
"It took years of testosterone for me to finally realize it was okay to live in my own body without it, that making this peace with myself was possible, and that I deserved that chance.
I didn’t know it was okay to be a dysphoric lesbian, that I could survive this way."
