As a trans woman, it is astonishing how poorly detransitioners are treated by many in the trans community

Before I start, I am happily a trans woman & would never detransition myself.

With the rise of “egg culture”, neopronouns & people using “it/its” pronouns, the greater trans community has in many ways lost the plot.

By watering down what it means to be trans, people who are not trans are being convinced they are trans. People are sold a story that they can “create their own gender”, like its a fashion style.

Stories of detransition in the trans community are often hand-waved away because detransitioners are often assumed to be “bad actors”. And if you detransition, you will get no support from the trans community.

You will likely be labeled a “TERF”, because it is a common conspriacy theory in the trans community that detransitioners are largely just “gender critical shills”. This scares people away from detransitioning if they feel that transition isn’t right for them.

I feel terrible for the many people who have been falsely led to believe they are trans, and are stuck in this awful scenario.
