Thread ๐งต
Last week, #DetransCanada published our brief on #BillC6 because we believe the existence and experience of #detrans people is being intentionally overlooked.

@SourPatches2077 @post_trans @detrans_voices @DetransCanada@detransitioners@FtMdetransed Ah okay - @detransitioners is a support group chat (not operating on twitter, but has a handle here) and Lost in Transition is here. And Lost In Transition is an Australian based support group (website https://t.co/rn5viJrV0z). Just for anyone following this thread.
@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten Then please, by all means, volunteer with us. The offer has been open from the beginning. We'd love to have you on the team, I'm sure. Have a great Sunday evening.
@AidanCTweets@SCaemawr@Simon_Whitten Because it was someone trying to get money from us - they even said on twitter, Aidan. And no, we do not pay for 'testimonies'. We don't take testimonies, or record stories.
@SCaemawr@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten No, we don't pay people to write us emails. They aren't 'testimonies'. They asked for 2K for reversal surgery (which is not something we do). This was immediately after an account here said they were going to fake being detrans so we would send money.
@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten We have explain this to you several times Aidan. Therapy is not the only service we offer, and you continue to misrepresent this. Come back when you can engage with genuine good intent.
@Simon_Whitten@redneurons redneurons is not part of our org, please do not accuse him of making false accusations if your problem is with us. Any further racism or attack on our followers, and we will block.
We suspect we received four fake emails yesterday. We can't be sure, but they arrived within minutes of each other, with different names, and similar errors / style of writing. We respond to every query as if it was genuine, but please remember if your intent is to spam us .. 1/
@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten While some we can identify as definitely false (these 4 from yesterday), the ones who are writing realistic accounts (which we have seen people boast about) in an attempt to time waste, we can't distinguish from real accounts. So *they* are falsely inflating our statistics.
@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten Not spaim, Aidan. False detrans stories. If they fool us, they join the stats, there is nothing we can do to help that. There's no reason for people to be doing this.
@AidanCTweets@Simon_Whitten If we do that, call us out for it. Otherwise, this was just a plea asking for people not to do it because it messes up everything for everyone. If we didn't care about falsifying stats we wouldn't have tweeted it in the first place. Accuracy matters to us.
This comment appears to be misunderstood by some people. If you are falsifying accounts of detransition, and we are unable to ascertain they are fake, you are falsely inflating our statistics. This is not intentional. It is a result of trying to waste our time.

It doesn't offer anyone anything to falsify detrans statistics. Which is why we posted this. We can weed out obviously fake emails, and we mark any that we feel were suspect (though respond to all queries seriously).
@AidanCTweets @Truthbomb_Queen @Simon_Whitten Realise, and therefore they end up in our statistics. This was a plee to STOP the people doing this, because it inflates our statistics.
@AidanCTweets @Truthbomb_Queen @Simon_Whitten You are still misunderstanding. These emails say they are detrans people, and provide personal information. Some are not believable, we can weed these out easily. Some, we have no doubt, we end up wasting time on for hours. These serve nobody a purpose, because we do not .. 1/
