I notice you didn’t support #DetransAwarenessDay again this year.

Is that because you don’t know anything about Desisted & Detransitioned people, or you don’t think they merit the same support as people who are happy with their medical Transition?

The Conversion Therapy Ban proposals for “Gender Identity” run the very real risk of preventing future kids like Keira Bell from getting the Explorative Therapy they actually need.

To their shame, well funded & influential groups like Stonewall have refused to give Detransitioned people any public support.

No thanks to “LGBTQ+etc PLC” Desisted & Detransitioned people and the therapists, medics & social care networks who support them have been getting organised.

@genspect had a #DetransAwarenessDay webinar on March 12th

More and more #Detrans people from the UK are speaking up.

At some point I hope that groups like @CILIPinfo will actually acknowledge Desisted & Detransitioned people & provide relevant information via UK Libraries.

@post_trans made a booklet which can be downloaded or ordered online that contains the stories of many Desisted & Detransitioned women.

Every UK library should have at least one copy.

Max Robinson’s book “Detransition - Beyond, Before & After” about her medical transition & detransition should also be in UK libraries - available to purchase below.

I don’t know if @CILIPinfo are aware that kids with ASD are overrepresented in the patient group at NHS Gender Clinics (as are LGB teens & kids in social/foster care) & in the cohort who regret medical transition or have since detransitioned.

@CILIPinfo @genspect @post_trans 9/?

At least two authors have tried to do something about this.

@RooneyRachel wrote a charming book “My Body Is Me”, which is primarily aimed at 3-6 year olds with ASD to help them grow to love & take care of their bodies, but is great for all young kids.

And @phoebe_draws wrote a book “Sex and Gender: An Introductory Guide” aimed primarily at teaching ASD tweens & teens about puberty, periods etc.

I hope to see both books in all UK libraries & schools soon.
