  • I didn’t ask on r/detrans because it was TERFy AF when I went looking for possible information sources.

    See, the community is never going to get anywhere nor gain any support if it just labels anything it doesn’t like as “TERF.” Yes, people in r/detrans are going to be angry, can you fucking blame them? They were lied to, groomed, and now they have to live with the after effects for the rest of their lives. I’d be pissed too if I had allowed myself to be groomed like that (which was attempted, btw).

    That having been said… Yes, rare. Detransition is rare. On a planet of multiple billions of people, yes, you can find “a lot” of people, in terms of strict numeric count, but they’re a tiny fraction of all people who transition.

    Except this stat is highly disingenuous. For one thing it’s heavily susceptible to survivorship bias (since, you know, many people that are unhappy choose the “other” method) and second off detransition is just something that’s getting attention so all data on the issue will be unreliable. There’s also heavy sampling bias at play, every study I’ve read over asks the person right after transition, during their honeymoon period, and never follows up with the person. There’s also the toxic positivity that you admit exists, they could fear retaliation if they answer honestly on such a survey.





  • Show me where they are accepting of criticism to feminism, links please, because I can source my argument. Nothing in that post encourages criticism of feminism regardless of the type of criticism. It’s funny because they specifically defend modern feminism, which is something many people can find criticism of.

    and that if Feminists come in and flame you over it, THOSE are the people who will be getting warnings and bans.

    Yeah, for many many reasons I doubt that. If anything, the admins will allow those feminists to flame you, likely giving them a pass to violate TOS, before banning you simply for posting an article.
