Let's be real, "Listen to detransitioners" is really just "listen to ex-trans people". The people who say that don't care about people who've been hurt by detransitioning, who had to detransition due to transphobia or other external hardships. No, they just want end transition.
They don't care about trans people's experiences with detransition and they don't actually want more resources for people who stop medical transition for whatever reason or who are hurt by transitioning. They just want a reason to restrict or get rid of trans healthcare.
They don't give a shit about detrans people as people with real lives and needs, only about finding ways to use them. As soon as you stop being useful to them, they turn on you and stop telling people to listen to you. They want detrans people to be their pet ex-trans people.
Anti-trans detrans activists working eliminate to trans healthcare are fools being used by bigots to create a world where both trans & detrans people will suffer. They should be treated as members of a hate movement, not as representatives of people who detransition.
Anti-trans detrans activists work against the interests of trans friendly detrans people, trans people who detransition due to external or internalized transphobia, people w/ nonlinear transitions & trans people in general. They engage in harm & bigotry, not legitimate activism.
I completely regret my own past as an anti-trans detrans activist & have nothing good to say about that movement. It's toxic to the people who belong to it & does nothing but create harm towards trans people & those who need actual support detransitioning. It's a dangerous cult.
We need actual resources for people who stop or are harmed by medical transition or who experience shifts in their gender identity, not an ex-trans movement or anti-trans conversion therapy/practices. We need more comprehensive and better trans healthcare, not less.
Anti-trans detrans activists are ex-trans pro-conversion therapy activists working to destroy trans healthcare as part of a larger project to eliminate trans people. They represent the interests of transphobes, not people who detransition. They're not worth listening to.
