"I don’t claim to speak for all of us, but perhaps I can share some of our stories." @charlie_sci the founder of @DetransAdNet on the detransitioned experience of women. #filia2019
"We recognise that we live in such a gendered world, that the little girl who hates dresses and pink and princesses is never going to feel like a little girl. Gender Dysphoria feels like an inner voice saying there’s something wrong with your body." @charlie_sci #filia2019
The standard treatment in the U.K. for addressing gender dysphoria in girls is breast binding, double mastectomy, hormone blockers and phalloplasty.This medical treatment confirms that our inner voice is correct, that there is actually something wrong with our bodies. #filia2019
If the choice is between changing our bodies to fit society, and changing society to fit gender non-comforming girls, I would hope that we would want to chose the latter. @charlie_sci #filia2019
Testimony from other detransitioned women: "Transition is a way to make gender non confirming girls conform. I regret the lie that amputation and sterilisation are a sex change. I feel like my life got taken away" #filia2019
"Detransitioned women have been let down by scientific and medical community. There is no way to report detransition. There are no studies comparing surgical vs non-surgical long-term treatment options." @charlie_sci #filia2019
Streamlining the medicalisation of gender non-confirming lesbian girls implies that each sex must act, think and feel a certain way, and that if you veer from this, the body must be corrected. #filia2019
"The best thing that has helped with my gender dysphoria has been to be around butch lesbian women." @charlie_sci #filia2019
