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

Fred....

“Detransition Never Happens” ... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3699125--Detransition-Never-Happens

And there was one a while ago possibly started by RO. I'll try to hunt for it some time.

I've become a patreon. In honour of Magdalen. I really hope this charity can become a force for balance and change.

I think this is bloody brilliant. I recommended starting a “detransition never happens” thread because of certain organisations - namely the Guardian, the BBC - ignoring the concern around puberty blockers and labelling that concern as “right wing media attacks”. They just cannot ignore amazing people like Charlie and all the evidence and stories this charity will collate. There will be reverse ferrets galore.

I see this as a real tipping point in challenging the puberty blocker concerns. 👏

Excellent news. Also glad they have chosen the official charity route. Let's see it get recognition and funding equivalent to Mermaids....

This is such good news, so needed. Wishing you all the luck. Fantastic news to wake up to.

This sounds great and glad they are making it a proper registered charity too.

So pleased this has been set up - it's very much needed. Will support whatever way I can.

This is excellent news! I wish them the very best and I hope they get more exposure, recognition, funding etc. It's so important detransitioners and desisters are acknowledged and included in any trans related policies and debate. It's been skewed to a picture perfect version by the TRAs for far too long.

Great work. I’m very pleased to see some much needed support.
