I've decided to share my detransition story so that other people might benefit from it and not be harmed by transgender healthcare in the way that I was. My hope is with stories like mine the standard for trans healthcare may improve and people will be treated properly. 🧵

Trans theory does not oppose right wing gender stereotypes. It simply flips them over as being acceptable as long as you acquire them by switching genders. It relies on conservative views of gender to define gender expression. They're inextricably linked.

The truth is that HRT happens aggressively fast and happens in spurts before you have time to even realize it's happened. You can't monitor it to stop when it's gone too far. You can't control it. It doesn't stop when you quit. I had been told otherwise by the trans community.

One of my major goals in speaking publicly about transition and detransition is to educate people that hormones can be insanely fast. The trans community only talks about slow effects. Every time someone tells me I am lying it is evidence that they still misinform people like me.

The twice censoring of Affirmation Generation is just soul shattering. At its core it's a documentary of what detrans people know to be true from our own personal experiences having been trans people and having been mistreated by doctors. Why silence that? Who does that threaten?

@MalesOfReddit It's funny that he's aware that his feelings align with the theme of a porno, but he doesn't recognize that's because he's basing them on sex stereotypes that he's excited by through fetishizing.

Transitioners keep acting like we're trying to ruin their lives by talking about our bad transition experiences, but this isn't about them. They got through it ok, but lots of us didn't and won't. It doesn't go away if we stop talking about it. People will still be hurt.

Over a little more than a year the detrans subReddit has doubled in size. I predict it will do so again within the next six to seven months. The problem will continue growing exponentially until we fix the medical care system. Lawsuits will have an impact, but not before years.

"Adults can do what they want" never applied to medicine. Why are we suddenly inventing this idea now for a small group of vulnerable people? It doesn't make sense. If it's dangerous for children, it's dangerous for adults. Demand evidence based medicine for ALL people.

Let's challenge the narrative that "adults can do what they want" when it comes to transition. Adults can't obtain any drug they want from a doctor just because they ask. Adults aren't cutting off their own healthy body parts. Adults still deserve evidence-based, ethical care.

The common description of cross sex HRT as causing you to go through the opposite sex's puberty is a sham. It's intended to make it seem like a normal bodily function. It is not. It's a medically induced chemical state which is out of sync with your natural biological processes.

It's hilarious how transition activists will try to say, "Imagine if people talked about regretting tattoos the way detrans people talk about transition regret." But like... People do talk about regretting tattoos, and it's a major part of helping others decide if they want one!

It's surreal to see that there is this huge group of people that simultaneously believe men shouldn't be trying to become women to escape their sex, while also telling men that being born a man makes you a murderer and a rapist. Why do you think we're so ashamed of being men?

Using estrogen was the stupidest choice of my life, but it has lead me to make changes in myself and my life. I've changed my politics, my views, my friends, my practices, my activism, and my ethics. I'm a better person, and I won't let my suffering be a waste.

Some people tweet back to me like, "I know trans people and I've never heard of side effects like yours, liar!" I'm not surprised. Look how you treat someone who talks about it. Why would any trans person with HRT side effects consider you a safe person to confide in?

When a person has internalized oppressive sex stereotypes they are vulnerable to seeing trans identity as an escape from that. However, gender ideology only flips those stereotypes in reverse, so you run from one oppression to the other. The real escape is making your own way.
