hi everyone!
I wanted to make this blog for detransitioners. the one’s who are cis now, but used to be trans. the one’s who are unsure about their identity, but don’t id as trans anymore. the ones who maybe think nonbinary is a better fit for them instead of trans, and vice versa. the ones who are still trans, but detransition due to a variety of reasons, an example being safety or social pressure, or a lack of finances for medical transition.
these are just a few examples of what a “detrans” person is. the spectrum of being detrans is just as vast as being trans itself, there is no one singular or true way to be detrans
detrans or detransitioning can be highly political at times. often weaponized by groups who use the stories of detrans people for their own personal agenda, and don’t care about the person as long as they make a good spokesperson for their movement. there’s also those who are detrans, who decide to lash out at others who are trans. these types don’t have a place here.
this blog, and the community I want to create is meant to be a space for all good faith detrans people. it can be a very isolating, painful, and lonely experience being detrans. there are a lot of misconceptions about us and our intentions due to bad actors. so I want there to be places for us where we don’t feel alone or misunderstood, that our stories are heard and not just used for propaganda. we are real life human beings, not your political props. I’m not here to have political or social debates, so don’t bring that here please. detrans people deserve to have spaces where our bodies aren’t political battlefields.
I hope that anyone who sees this, who thinks they are detrans, or is detrans knows that there’s nothing wrong with you. you are not all of the awful things people think or say that you are. you deserve to be happy in whatever identity or body you choose to live in. all people do. whatever your reasons for detransitioning are, you have a home here.
