#detransitioners
its important to me as a detrans woman to be vocal about it. its important to me as a detrans woman who initially only had radfems to talk to about detransition, because i couldnt find a single trans inclusive detrans person for over a year, to make sure other people know they have options.
radfems arent your aly if you’re questioning your gender. they dont have your best interest at heart. they dont care about helping you explore who you are, theyre only interested in sucking you in to be another transmisogynistic pawn for their violent ideology.
if you’re trans/nonbinary now, but are wondering if it isnt right for you, know that you have options. you can talk to me. there are people who have not done a 180 into bigotry who are here to support you.
please reblog, do not just like, this post.
i dont have a large platform. i want this to get spread. i want to remove terfs from the forefront of detrans/reidentification awareness & support. they cannot continue to be the first contact for questioning people.
i am begging you, yes you personally, to please reblog this, and comment or reply in the tags if you’re a safe, trans-inclusive detransitioned or reidentified person to approach.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving something a try and deciding “ah, this isn’t right for me after all.”
Humans are messy and complicated, it’s fine.

I’m posting this video from the 2021 LGB Alliance conference separately from this post about Dr Az Hakeem as it is really worth watching in its own right.
It covers a lot of subjects, including safguarding in schools, and sex and relationships education, and how these things have been hijacked by trans and pro-porn (ie, ‘queer’) ideology.
Dr Hakeem’s section starts at the 01:02 mark (and is less than 20 minutes long), and listening to him talk about his practise, it is really, really obvious that he is not ‘transphobic’ in any meaningful sense of the word (he also talks about the institutional homophobia of the Tavistock).
Dr Hakeem’s comments at 01:12 on sub-cultures are worth hearing too: his idea is that before social media, sub-cultures were based around music (Hakeem was a ‘post-punk goth’ as a teenager), and were about being rebellious and subversive; now instead of music-based subcultures, we have people identifying as non-binary, which is ‘goth, mark 5’:
Goth, mark 1 = post punk
Goth, mark 2 = The Cure
Goth, mark 3 = shoe-gazing
Goth, mark 4 = emo
Goth, mark 5 = non-binary
There’s also a surprise guest appearance from Baroness Emma Nicholson in the Q&A section at the end!
Ramble about the trans community and de-transitioning
In regards to the people who discover they aren’t trans after they transitioned, I don’t think it’s fair to say they’re making the whole community look bad bc it’s their life to figure out and everyone makes mistakes. The whole infighting is so that straight cis people can take us seriously when that should be their problem? Why does everyone have to have a textbook story of how they knew and transitioned just to please the straights and say hey we’re just people like you? Bc like..,,,we shouldn’t have to hate on others personal narratives just so the straights can treat us with respect??? Like fuck that man, sorry you’re so close minded that you latch onto certain de-transitioning stories just so you can have a justified reason to hate trans people and nonbinary people and discredit us? Everyone is valid. And that’s that. They aren’t making us look bad. They’re just showing us how hard some cisheta try to find a reason to hate a whole community of people just because of certain de-transitioning stories. If you de-transitioned, good for you. I’m glad you figured yourself out and are moving forward in life. To trans and nonbinary people, you are valid. We are all valid. We should stop forcing everyone into a box and not allow them to explore their identity. Live your life and be truthful to yourself. Stop hating on others so much. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
