Happy Detransitioners Day! I applaud each and everyone of you. We need to hear your individual experiences, your knowledge, your wisdom from your first-hand knowledge of this painful journey. You are brave, respected and admired. We need your stories to help others caught in this trap. Thank you. You matter to all of us… you pave the way home for some of our lost children.
"We’re asked to respect the rights and decisions of mature, mentally-balanced adults."
No problem. Mentally balanced adults don't believe they are the opposite sex. Those who do should not have their decisions respected. They need to be committed to a mental institution before they harm themselves or others.
As to "parents" of mentally ill children getting harassed into paying for "gender affirming care". If you are being successfully bullied by a mentally ill minor under your roof there is a solution. It is never to late to start being a parent and use the magic word real parents have been using for all generations of humanity: NO!
If you start using that magic word when they are a toddler they won't become suicidal when they hear it as a teenager.
If you have a gender confused child chances are you didn't say no when they threw a fit over the toy at the end of the grocery store isle. You probably didn't employ any corporal punishment in your "parenting". You probably didn't say no when they wanted to watch television shows promoting LGBTQLMNOP culture. You probably didn't say no when they wanted unlimited internet access to chat with LGBTQLMNOP friends/groomers online. You probably worked way too hard to "understand" your child instead of making your child understand that life isn't fair and you can't always get everything that you want.
My ten year old son stopped being friends with a boy who started identifying as gay. I didn't have to
force him or tell him to do that. I simply instilled basic morals which equipped him to make the right decision. I'm sure the former friend's parents celebrated their son's "choice" to begin the descent into a lifetime of moral depravity and unhappiness. My wife and I celebrated our son's ability to recognize a moral hazard, make an adult decision, and follow through with the consequences of that decision.
100 years ago homosexuality was widely regarded as morally repugnant. Also, 100 years ago 0% of parents of teenage children had to worry about transitioning or detransitioning their children. Weird.
Of course, correlation is not causation so just keep giving in to the whims and whimsies of your society that can't seem to identify what a woman is. Your children should be just fine.
This is pure gold, thank you so much for letting us into "other side". I checked out those two trans people and listened to them for a bit. It helps me understand my daughter a bit more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for this post. I wholeheartedly agree. Happy Detransitioner Awareness Day, everyone!
This is for one particular detransitioner who i chatted with on here a year ago.
We had talked about communicating offline, and one of our PITT hosts, EF, had offered to connect us via email. I didn't follow through back at that time, and have wanted to connect with you ever since. You said you are in the East Bay or Sacramento area, if I recall.
If you or EF are reading this, please let me know, so we can connect. I've thought about you all year and wasn't quite sure what to do. I don't recall seeing you on here in a long time, but you've been in my thoughts and well-wishes.
Thanks to all the brave people who admit “transitioning” was a mistake. Recovering after irreversible damage has been done is no easy feat. There is no way back, only hope to live as well as possible despite the damage. Best wishes for medical people to regret doing harm. Sorry for what they have done. Lessons must be learnt.
So thankful for the strength and courage of detransitioners to stand up for themselves, change course, and speak out to help others! I so wish they had never suffered, and would not continue to be persecuted, but I’m thankful for those who are choosing to heal for themselves and make a difference for others.
Detransitioners have kept many of us parents from losing our minds completely.
You give us hope.
You are the source of information on which the books are now being written.
And for those who have so kindly shown empathy to parents and to those who have stood with parents to fight this plague,
I am 79 and have no close friends nor relatives who are trans, nor detrans. I do have a keen interest in prevention of harm, and this cult has harm written all over it. I have read volumes on the subject from a variety of sources. How this luxury belief was mainstreamed will be the subject of research of the most heinous medical catastrophe in our lifetimes. My heart goes out to everyone affected. I intend that my granddaughter will never fall into the trap.
I have a huge amount of gratitude for the detransitioners who have spoken so bravely on this forum. I can only hope that my kid joins you in due time. You give hope to desperate parents searching for answers, and your stories have humbled me. The recent six part series was exquisite.
I truly wish that in addition to giving all of us parents the gift of hope, you are also taking good care of yourselves and setting boundaries where they are needed. (Desperate parents can push hard when their child is at risk.) Please do only what you can and no more.
Yes, we all make bad decisions, some are reversible, some are not. I'm more concerned about WHY (mostly men) feel the necessity to emulate the female of the species? What does it tell us about the nature of the society we live in? Mysognist, violent, imperialistic and of course run by MEN, it looks like an act of Nature. The problem I think has more to do with the fact that the men who seek to emulate women, are conforming to the MALE view of what it is to be female with all that that entails. It's a form of conformism, rather than question the roles ascribed to men and women so-called transgendered are just perpetuating the Patriarchy.
Agree, they are even perpetuating patriarchy--but by being "mysogynistic and violent." Trans-activists appear to hate women. They do not want women to have rights to their privacy or their own spaces. They abuse women at rallies and marches. They throw piss buckets of their male urine on them. They scream and display their genitals. And these abusive acts are not what women do.
"It is a form of conformism ... " This conformism leads to a sick consumerism by bartering for body parts and functions via state supported "medicine." Stopping this practice on adults is needed too. It is a dangerous game.
yes, as I repeat with some frequency, there's an international treaty for the rights of women (called CEDAW: convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women). A big part of the CEDAW agenda is to eliminate gender stereotypes.
True to form, our male dominated human species, instead of eliminating gender stereotypes, is pursuing them with all the power of techno-medicine.
It's a nightmare from the perspective of the rights of women and girls. It is also a severe regression from the standards set forth in CEDAW.
Thus: to all who say that trans is the human rights movement most on the frontier, I say: balderdash. CEDAW is on the frontier and that frontier has been abandoned by techno-medical pursuit of delusions.
I like the title of this piece. It reminds me of one of my very first comments when my son broke the news of his transition. Make good choices & don’t take drugs. What more advice does a mother give when her kids leave home. Gratitude & healing to you detransitioners. You escaped & have plenty to give to the world. All the best.
Thank you to all courageous detransitioners who are willing to share their stories. Know that you are making a difference and saving lives. We appreciate you and support you. Wishing you healing and strength to keep going & never stop. ❤️
DETRANS AWARENESS DAY prompts young people to share frightful gender de-transition stories.
Though it received absolutely zero attention from the zealously pro-trans establishment media, March 12th, marks Detrans Awareness Day, a holiday of sorts for those who’ve suffered tangible harm because of radical trans ideology.
The purpose of the ‘holiday’ is to provide those who’ve detransitioned from being transgender an opportunity to share their experiences. Their stories matter both because they matter as people and because their stories serve as a necessary counterweight to the propaganda pushed by pro-trans activists, including those in the press.
The fact is that detransioners are far more common than activists, including those in the media, care to admit. The establishment media in particular are so invested in trans ideology that in 2019, NBC News ran a report encouraging the media to mostly avoid covering the detransitioning “narrative” because it makes detransitioning “seem more common than it is.”
Yet the spate of stories that flooded Twitter on #DetransAwarenessDay suggests detransitioning is indeed “more common” than they’d have one believe.
One story came from a woman on Twitter, named Helena, who described how her school had “encouraged” her to get “sucked into gender ideology.” This led to her eventually being “prescribed a very high dose of testosterone at 18.”
The treatment wound up being “very damaging.” She eventually detransitioned back into a woman, though it was no easy ordeal.
Reddit stopped keeping stats on the number of members for some reason (I don't think it is just for detrans, i think it's all reddit groups). I think they stopped a couple of months ago and at the time there were 51,000 members https://subredditstats.com/r/detrans
Just adding my voice to the chorus of support for detransitioners— yes—-every one of you is a hero. It takes so much courage and strength to have taken the journey OUT. May you all find peace and a happy, productive and meaningful life. Also a huge thanks to those brave souls who have become public figures and activists. We are by your side every step of the way.
Hallelujah for all of the detransitioners out there. We are proud of you! My 25 yr old son was swallowed up by the transgender cult I believe at the age of 23. He and his fiancé kept it quiet until he came out after estranging himself from us 9 months ago.
I pray that someone reaches him someday and that I can say that my son has detransitioned.
I miss my son too. "Transitioning" as an adult still harms our children. These adults aren't emotionally stable. My daughters miss their brother and my heart is still breaking after ten years. Hugs ♡
So so sorry this destructive ideology took your son and ruined your family life. You are correct, regardless of age, people who think they’re in the wrong body are not emotionally stable or mentally-balanced.
Thank you detransitioners. May you all find strength in the truth, emotional support from an ever-growing community of people who understand your experiences, and solace knowing your stories help prevent harm to vulnerable people.

May our God in his goodness have mercy and may His unending justice prevail.
Praying for healing for all.

Thank you for the Heads-Up!
Probably because Reddit is soon to go public on the stock exchange? Certain topics are taboo for the market.
