the switch in messaging I've received from "if you think you're trans, you're probably trans" to "well you should have known you weren't trans" honestly makes me feel a little gaslit sometimes lol
This is misinformation. The new conversion therapy bill in Canada is a Trojan horse bill to codify affirmation only for children, as the only legal approach by MH and health care practitioners.
Dysphoric minors deserve individualized care, with multiple treatment options
Last Wednesday, Andrew Scheer was asked how he would counter an "LGBT lifestyle" being "pushed" onto children. He responded by attacking the ban on conversion therapy. This is today's Conservative party #CdnPoli
@roma_gallardo identified as trans for 5 years, and took testosterone for 17 months. i began detransitioning february 2018.
it was a way to cope with my trauma and body hatred.

When I sought transition people said "good for you!"
When I sought detransition people asked "why?"
My detransition was questioned more than my transition ever was. My transition regret was picked apart more than my gender dysphoria ever was
Stop the stigma

Btw when I told my doctor I was done with “the trans thing”, she was relieved. She said she hadn’t really known what to say & shared that she knew some women like me from her old art scene who decided not to transition & she’d hoped for this outcome.
the idea that "not enough" or only a small % of people having a certain experience means that that that experience doesn't matter is a really insensitive take from a community that makes up about 1% of the population at best.

my name is Elle. I was trans from age 15 to 19. I took testosterone for THREE years, but when I was 19 I thought about my future... I knew I would never be happy as a trans man, even if I was stealth. it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I did it.
