Detransitioners are people who medically transitioned to appear as the opposite sex and are in the process of reversing the changes that happened to their body. The vast of detransitioners are female -to -male-to female (ftmtf) but there are some male- to-female-to male (mtftm) detransitioners. Detransitioners are reversing a major life decision they made and many people in the transgender community are cold to them. When a female medically transitions to appear male lots of changes can happen to their bodies and many of these changes are permanent. If a female is on testosterone long enough it can cause vaginal atrophy ( thinning, drying and inflammation of vaginal walls caused by low levels of estrogen), thickening of vocal cords that makes voice deeper is permanent, the higher risk of uterine cancer and uterine fibroids, double mastectomy ( complete removal of breasts) is not reversible, getting implants can never be the same as natural breasts. Detransition is uncommon within the transgender community. Some of the most common causes is social pressure, medical problems and financial reasons. Detransitioners are stigmatized within the transgender community and the attitude towards these people tends to be unsympathetic. Some detransitioners reported being silenced for invalidating transgenders and fear mongering for sharing their stories of detransition in some LGBT spaces. Detransitioners often feel jaded towards the medical community and transgender community and some of them have a phase of questioning the validity of being transgender. For some reason detransitioners tend to go far into the other direction in terms of their stance on transgender issues and the detrans community can be an echo chamber of problematic beliefs such transgender is a fetish or caused by trauma from sexual abuse and internalized homophobia. From how I see it, detransitioners belief system is out of hurt and rejection from a community they once called home and it'd be helpful for everyone if detransitioners were widely accepted by transgenders. What's more is detransitioners often have a voice in far right community's who allow them to speak freely about their stories. Sadly, far right group's often weaponize detransitioners as proof that transgenderism is not real. How I view it the far left community tends to censor detransitioners and the extreme right uses detransitioners to try and prove their beliefs. Admittedly when I first desisted ( stopping indentifying as transgender) out of social pressure I went down the far right rabbit hole out of feeling really out of place in the mainstream LGBT community and misunderstood. Out of my false consensus belief, I got the wrong idea every other transgender person was destined to go down the same pathway I did. I wanted to erase my past of indentifying as transgender and I feel guilty cause I feel like me co-opting the trans -movement cause I was gender non-conforming/ non binary is harming dysphoric transgender people. I'm not going to deny I had a phase of radical beliefs cause I needed to convince myself I was tricked and brainwashed in order to live as a member of my sex.
