Since it was #DetransAwarenessDay recently and transphobes again used it as an opportunity to instrumentalize detrans people’s experiences toward their far-right agenda, it’s worth sharing this new paper again:
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.

Yesterday was #DetransAwarenessDay, a day that should have highlighted unity between trans and detrans people for collective liberation.
Unfortunately, as the day progressed, it became evident that the initiative was uplifted by groups that reinforce systematic oppression.

As many detrans people still need access to safe and effective health care, it should concern the #DetransAwarenessDay organizers that their campaign is being picked up by extreme groups trying to restrict it.

we should also be able to give that much attention to the struggles of those who detransitioned. js 🤷🏾♂️

Detrans people deserve spaces where they can talk about their experiences and their complexity in a positive, supportive way that doesn’t compound trauma.
Which is why it pains us to see the #DetransAwarenessDay tag picked up by white nationalist press like Big League Politics.

It's ok to acknowledge medical transition isn't right for everyone and sometimes people Detransition for a myriad of reasons.
But the way to help both Trans and Detrans people is better access to healthcare, mental health services and proper documentation.

Happy #DetransAwarenessDay! Let's take a moment to recognize that the overwhelming majority people who detransitioned felt socially pressured into doing so. Their feelings are still valid and in a perfect world they could live free of those pressures. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

op deze dag van het verboden woord breng ik graag even in herinnering dat 62% van de detrans mensen opnieuw in transitie gaat

![Reasons
Reasons for detransition vary and may include internal factors such as a changed understanding of their gender identity, regret, physical health concerns or side-effects, or remission of gender dysphoria, or having met the goals of treatment. External factors include financial or legal issues, social and familial stigma and discrimination, difficulty accessing medical treatment, or cultural and ideological pressures.[14][18] Some people detransition on a temporary basis, in order to accomplish a particular aim, such as having biologically related children, or until barriers to transition have been resolved or removed.[21] Transgender elders may also detransition out of concern for whether they can receive adequate or respectful care in later life.[22]
The National Center for Transgender Equality conducted a survey of individuals who currently identified as transgender.[23] The results published in the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey found that 8% of respondents reported having ever detransitioned; 62% of that group reported having subsequently retransitioned.[24] 33% reported detransitioning because it was too difficult, 31% due to discrimination, and 29% due to difficulty getting a job. Others reported the reason as being pressure from parents (about 36%), family members (26%), spouses (18%), and employers (17%).[2]
A mixed-methods analysis of the survey's data published in 2021 found that the vast majority said detransition was in part due to external factors, such as pressure from family, sexual assault, and nonaffirming school environments; another highly cited factor was "it was just too hard for me."[25]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mkecx3myjtwf5f6lrjj2ln6m/bafkreiawzl5ocxxzhoafjn5s2gwxblgyfrg3wtemta7fxa35asjhy4aaaa@jpeg)

If there's a #DetransAwarenessDay again next year, let's honor it out of spite.
We *should* honor with solidarity cis ppl who discovered themselves through transition, & honor #trans ppl forced by society to #detrans.
Who cares more?
Who can honor them better?
Who else can spread true awareness?

They not only want to see existing trans people taken out of society, but want all trans healthcare shutdown. They want no pathway to be available, under the guise of helping us.
