I'd like more non-transphobic detransitioners to be supported and recognized. (lemmy.ml)

They deserve it. It seems like so many transphobes only want to recognize the existence of detransitioners to use them as a transphobic tool to support their close-minded worldview.

It honestly must be very scary for pro-trans detransitioners to speak on their experiences. They'll get right-wing asshats pulling a "told you so" on them and also those same righties attempting to use them to push an agenda.

Not only that, but we need to support them. Going through detransition, even not considering the social issues that one might have in doing that, is a really tough thing, and I think we should acknowledge it.

Yeah I realized that as I was typing this haha. Touche. My teacher didn't use the word detransition for the record. I just wasn't sure if the friend would count as a "detransitioner"
