Detransitioning isn't the "I told you so!" moment that some would like us to think it is.

When transgender people detransition, they're not saying, "Oops, I made a mistake. I've changed my mind - I'm not transgender any more."

What actually happens, and I've personally seen occur many times in my career, is that trans people try living openly as their preferred gender, and the discrimination, hate, and abuse they receive isn't worth it.

They are still transgender at heart. But life as an openly trans person can be hard.

And after living in a world that shows them nothing but abuse, discrimination, and hate, it's often easier just to go back to living as a trans person in secret.

Detransitioning doesn't mean they're not transgender.

It means that their transition was regretful. And that regret is due to today's society.

Detransition rates should NEVER be used when debating trans rights.

Trans people aren't changing their minds; they're choosing the safest option to survive in a world that might refuse to welcome them.

@leahoverthinks Oh no, what’s happened? (If you’re comfortable)

This is heartbreaking.

Such upsetting news about the Sycamore Gap. It's the senselessness of it that gets me – centuries of history brought to an end by some utter prick with a chainsaw. What would compel someone to do this? Unfathomable

Recently shampoo adverts have just been outrageous. I think they’ve finally run out of ideas.

I’m getting more and more convinced Just Stop Oil is paid for by big oil to get people to hate climate change activists.

@leahoverthinks My partner is Spanish and once I needed to have some treatment in Spain so I had to temporarily register at her GP. I was classed as “migrant without papers” - it was super jarring

@leahoverthinks Have you been to Real Camera Co.? Always a little treasure chest. Agfa to Leica. If it’s still there it’s worth a peek

People blanket complex issues with the word ‘ideology’ simply because an ideology is something you can just disagree with.
