  • 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.





  • No examples needed, we know how these people act thus this will be the case. That’s assuming that someone who is even critical of feminism can get past their ideological purity tests to even get in the site.

    Also, Beehaw does not seem to have public modlogs. Perhaps it’s just because I am not signed in (due to not having an account) but through browsing several communities I failed to find any modlog link. Even if they do have modlogs and I am just not seeing them, do you honestly think a bunch of people who share the same ideology are going to care if mod powers are abused against someone whom they disagree with?
