Exciting developments!

We are a group of detransitioners and desisters who have either decided not to transition or have stopped transitioning. Currently, there are no organized places for us to go for support.

We've started an advocacy charity to support people like us. Our aims (for now) are simple and will be built open over the next few weeks.

  • Build a support network.
  • Connect detransitioners.
  • Record our numbers.
  • Provide resources from professionals covering legal and medical advice.

We are officially launching our charity in Manchester on the 30th November.

You can follow us on Twitter @DetransAdNet

@PencilsInSpace you could buy a donation ticket to the event? Or I think Patreon take one off donations as well as regular stipends.

PencilsInSpace · 09/10/2019 22:06

Is there a way to give one-off donations?

startswithj · 09/10/2019 21:17

The Detransition Advocacy Network was established to support all detransitioners, regardless of sex.

Excellent

It's nice to see the message 'no such thing as a boy brain or a girl brain' in the mail on sunday to be honest, whatever the context. An awful lot of 'nonpolitical' people raise their children as if there were such things.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/10/2019 09:37

Does it support men too?

Good luck - these voices need to be heard - especially kids pondering this route.

It’s like a cult isn’t it?

Charlie getting piled on on twitter they are trawling through her timeline

Bullying idiots

Go Charlie

NeurotrashWarrior · 06/10/2019 09:25

A certain someone is comparing Charlie to Andrew Wakefield on twitter. The thinking processes are astounding.

Too far away for me, but happy to support on Patreon. Well done for setting this up. Like many other women, I would probably have tried to transition as a lonely, sexually-abused ten year old girl. Luckily for me, it was the 1970s, and that wasn't possible. As a grown woman I now know that it's the system (patriarchy) that's wrong not my body.

I wish you all well. I find it so sad how badly let down you have all been. Hopefully this network will play a role is preventing more vulnerable young people being caught up in this ideology.

RainbowsAndGlitterAndUnicorns · 06/10/2019 02:36

Good luck

PurpleCrowbar · 06/10/2019 01:40

It's a bloody good point, though!

Those orgs are ostensibly committed to supporting people who have discovered or are exploring their gender identity.

That would be de-transitioners then, logically, just as much as transitioners?

If not, why not? They need to be asked those questions.

& watched, as they squirm...

2BthatUnnoticed · 06/10/2019 00:52

Yes, but those orgs are actively hostile to women - particularly to any who question trans doctrine.

If we don’t support these women, who will?

TerfTalk · 05/10/2019 23:58

Okay, I'm going to play "devil's advocate" here...

I think it's great that this is being set up and you've been offered contributions from the GC movement.

However, this problem is not the fault of the GC movement. We tried to stop it.

The people funding you should be Mermaids, Allsorts, and whomever else created this mess.

Any thoughts on this?

2BthatUnnoticed · 05/10/2019 23:46

If you’re on Twitter, please follow and support Charlie Sci.

Some disgusting creep trawled her FB, found a pic of her in a bikini AS A CHILD, and the AGP community is claiming it “proves” Charlie never identified as trans (!).

And yet... Alex Drummond, Danielle Muscato et al are “valid women” NO DEBATE??

Stay strong Charlie. The AGP rage is proving your point.

Voice0fReason · 05/10/2019 22:53

This is excellent news, though tragic that it is necessary.

Amoreomeara · 05/10/2019 19:34

Have you read about James Caspian, who was told his proposed research into transgender reversal was 'politically incorrect'?
He has 17 years’ experience of gender transition, works at a private gender clinic, and is a trustee of the transgender charity The Beaumont Trust, but was still accused if being transphobic for even suggesting that more research is needed into this topic.

My 13 yo identifies as trans and has asked to go on hormone blockers, which I have not agreed to at this stage. There is no support or advice for parents other than, oh well you have to just go along with it or else you must be a really awful parent! :-(

NeurotrashWarrior · 05/10/2019 19:22

Thanks for the link DJ, it's too far away for me but I hope the launch goes well!

CatalogueUniverse · 05/10/2019 19:02

Interesting first post ABT123

Why don’t you start a thread about that.

bd67th · 05/10/2019 18:55

antidepressants causing so much gender dysphoria!

Do you have any studies that show this causal relationship between antidepressants and GD?

ABT123 · 05/10/2019 18:05

Thank you so much for this article! I have been warning for decades now that this would be the end result of antidepressants causing so much gender dysphoria! How many of these young people are yet unaware that their so called "medication" could have done this to them & are still taking it?! But they MUST be very careful weaning off as the withdrawal can be very dangerous for them & those around them if it is not done EXTREMELY GRADUALLY over months or even years!
