"What will happen when it's illegal to be #trans everywhere and there's nowhere for us to run anymore?
Do you think we will all just #detransition, wash our hands, and say, well, we gave it a good run, now back to the grind?"

So yeah, if they're going to make a day of it, instead of fighting it, redirect the momentum and let's get some real awareness out about how:
- #Detransition can be beautiful, too, and it doesn't need to be a source of shame.
- #Detransition is typically forced.
Rani Baker’s 2014 essay “Faggot As Gender Identity, Detransition As A Form Of Suicide”
> Detransition was the worst fucking thing that ever happened to me. I regret it every day; dwelling on how I already knew things about myself and worked on them and then gave up… And yet going back to that misery is constantly advocated to me and folks like me.

#Busting the #myths around #transition #regret and #detransition.
How many people regret their decision to receive #genderaffirmingcare? Do people who #detransition always #regret their #transitions?
The few highly public #detransitioners have been weaponized by #religion and/or #hategroups

Why can’t people stop fixating on the almost nonexistent ‘#transition #regret’?
The mainstream “#detransition” #conversation is informed by #transphobia, #ignorance of #trans #history and #collective #denial of #trans #lives. Until we reckon with those #realities, we won't resolve the #debate

So, my spouse sent me a lengthy article about detransitioning earlier today, and it:
1. Irritated me.
2. Made me want to get some stats of my own.
So, the question is: "As a trans person, what are your opinions about detransitioning (DT)?"
Please select any and all options that apply.
Please only answer if consider yourself to be trans, nonbinary, or formerly trans or nonbinary.
Please boost for reach. I want like every trans person on Mastodon in this poll.
Thank you!

There's been a big development in detransitioner Chloe Cole's lawsuit against her former gender-affirming providers. #trans #transgender #news #law #detransition
We tapped a trans subject matter expert who's been following all the ins and outs for months to write about it, complete with a bunch of juicy screenshots of court documents, here:

2022 U.S. Transgender Survey: among those who transitioned and are living as another gender, only 3% report lower satisfaction rates, & 79% are "a lot more satisfied".
Receivers of gender-affirming care [hormones] – 98% are more satisfied with their lives.

Ohio is attempting to ban gender affirming care TODAY.
Media outlets covering the bill have referenced detransitioners supporting the ban, but today on Assigned I'm reporting on an aspect no outlet has mentioned: Even more detransitioners OPPOSED the ban, including the only detransitioned Ohio native to weigh in on either side.
Why does the media keep carrying water for anti-trans activists? #trans #detransition #news #law #journalism
#Republican #Congressman from #Wisconsin wants to Pass a #National #Sports #Ban To Make #Trans #People #Detransition.
#Representative #GlennGrothman said a trans sports ban must pass because otherwise, #trans #people won't "switch back."
— It doesn't work like that.

Prisha Mosely is like a cancer patient who not only refuses treatment on religious grounds but wants to ban treatment for everybody else. #trans #health #news #detransition #journalism
But you won't see that view in the largely sympathetic profile the Washington Post ran today. My analysis here:
https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/extremism-prisha-mosley-profile
A week ago I asked for questions people wanted addressed in stories about detransitioners, and the two most common question were "How common is detransition?" and variations of "Who counts as a detransitioner?"
Today, on Assigned, I attempt to answer both of these, with a focus on what the published research says and narratives that have been left out of mainstream coverage. I hope you'll read and find it useful.
I'm #transfem and I found it necessary to detransition (pause transition) for a while early in my transition. My wife was hospitalized due to what was ultimately a fatal condition.
During that time, due to a fear of anti-trans discrimination affecting her care, we decided together that I should #detransition .
That was in 2009. At no time did I cease identifying as a woman.
She passed mid-2010, and I restarted my transition in late 2010.
There's some new qualitative research into detransition, and the researchers found roughly what I expected (and nothing like what the right-wing narratives on detransition would lead you to believe).
Less than half of the people who were interviewed for this study experienced regret. A majority did not identify with their birth sex. Among transfemmes, discrimination leading to temporary detransition was one common archetype. #trans #detransition #news

The detransitioner whose story formed the heart of PragerU's 20 minute "documentary" which they promoted with a $1 million ad buy on Twitter yesterday wants everyone to convert to Catholicism.
We got a statement from Strongin for this- and found some evidence that directly contradicts what she claimed to us, which was that she didn't detransition because of religion. #trans #detransition #news #journalism
