This article by Ashley et al is a fantastic exploration of our evidence-based best practices for caring for detrans peoples' needs in a timely, effective, and most importantly *harm-minimizing* manner.

Or, in plain language?

How we can make sure the folks who need to detrans aren't hurt.

A 🧵
Gatekeeping does NOT benefit detrans people.

Our paper on gatekeeping and detransition is now out! I’m immensely hyped for this paper, written in collaboration with wondrous scholars and including co-authors who have lived experience with detransition.

Transphobia is a rich man's game. It allows billionaires to position themselves as brave truthtellers challenging the status quo without really risking anything because the group they're demeaning lacks much of any institutional power. It gives them the thrill of martyrdom without any sacrifice.
