Outspoken TRA 'Legaltweetz' suddenly turns against transactivitism

Fascinating stuff. Long-time TRA and transman https://x.com/legaltweetz has made an almost overnight conversion to the gender critical side.

'I honestly feel like I’m leaving a cult. Where saying anything outside of the accepted narrative will get a bunch of anime pfps attacking your character.'

Legaltweetz is now under sustained attack from other TRAs.

If you're on Twitter, go take a look. This person was one of the most vocal TRAs on there until a month ago.

Wondering if it's no coincidence that it's a female person who's got disenchanted with the ideology and its supporters.

Come on everyone, the T has always existed and it's not Chris' fault if it was invisible because it hadn't actually been added yet. You just have to accept that it was always there. Chris works hard at the Ministry of Truth, and it's not fair to point out where things have been altered.

Remember, the first creature to climb out of the primordial soup was draped in a trans flag and used they/them pronouns, and that trans Neandertals are valid.

I saw this. I don't follow the account but have seen her on twitter. I thought she was an intelligent but ptetty fundamentalist genderist. I was really surprised to see the posts about trans rights advocacy going wrong and I saw the backlash.

I see she's now detransitioning (so presumably wants she/her) and i hope it goes well. Even though I'm gender critical and frequent this forum which is one of the main homes of the gender critical movement, i think there's danger in leaping from one ideological community to an opposing one. The wider gc movement has political aims, and is based around a set of beliefs. Yes they are built on facts but there is a set of ideas which we share (roughly). Not everyone within it is pure of heart and people will be trying to get her to join because it will be helpful to the campaigning. But that might not be in her best interests personally. So I hope she steps back and spends time away from the internet.

I can actually remember when it dawned on me that a T had been added.

I remember thinking what the bloody hell is that? What on earth is transgender?

Me too. The only T around when I was younger were creepy men larping as women. Nothing to do with LGB

This is subjective. It's always been LGBT until JK Rowling and the gender critical groups propped up to oppose it. Saying LGB feels as if something is missing IMO.

Hhahahahah

How is it even helpful for same-sex attracted people to be attached to people who don’t believe sex exists?

We only have LGBT because Black Lives Matter refused to let the T be part of their mission, and Stonewall was looking for a raison d’etre

I'm not familiar with this person but I've just read the post that she's detransitioning and, much to my surprise, it made me feel sad for her. I'm not entirely sure why but I think it's because I understand she'll have done things to her body that are irrevocable. I'd rather tp be happy with what they've done than live with the regret of what can't be undone. Still, life gives us all scars. I wish her the best for the future.

Completely agree.

When the terfs are found out to be right, which they usually are, it means that someone's realised they've been duped, and now has to come to terms with all the harm done. Or it's revealed that yes, a rapist was terrorising women in a women's prison. Or yes, children were sterilised unnecessarily. Or yes, doctors were guilty of malpractise. Or yes, a man punched a woman in the face and won a gold medal. Or yes, women lost their jobs because they argued what the Supreme Court has just found to be the law.

Every time we're right, it's only because something bad that we warned about has been proven to be true.

It's crap all round. There are no winners.

Beowulfa · 11/06/2025 13:46

Remember it's definitely not a mental health problem, or a cult.

TENSsion · 11/06/2025 13:20

She’s obviously very intelligent and hard working but carrying around a lot of trauma.
I hope she heals and can move on from this.
If I were a friend, I’d recommend deleting twitter.

Amazing how we're constantly berated for being ancient and hopelessly out of touch until someone wants to completely rewrite the history we lived through. Perhaps he thinks we're senile and have forgotten?

Rubbish. You must be quite young.

AsterLaVista · 11/06/2025 13:01

I'm so glad for her that she stopped the medical stuff before phalloplasty. I struggle to believe that the complication rates for that make it worthwhile for anyone. Even without the rest of the activist distortions, that's been mis-sold to the world as something it really isn't (effective, well tested, safe...).

Bickybics · 11/06/2025 13:01

a while ago she was posting pictures of herself pre-trans and she seemed quite sad about it.

Not sure they have "switched sides". I think they are just pointing out some forms of transactivism aren't helpful. For example they still have "LGBT rights" in their profile text.

You might want to tell that to the TRAs who are attacking her and attempting to get her fired (from her own company)

Well, I never!

illinivich · 11/06/2025 12:36

Ive heard everyone was trans until JKR signed up to twitter. Shes the one who forced everyone into a cis-heteronormative lifestyle.

Its not good that its all being played out on twitter. Not good for thepissedofflawyer if genuine and not good for everyone else if shes not or changes her mind.

Sounds like this is at the heart of it.

I’m detransitioning. My name will still be Hendrix. My birth name carries a lot of abuse with it, so Hendrix stays. I will block anyone using my prior name.

I was not talked into this or groomed. This is what I want. I made the choice to transition as an adult, and the buck stops here. I won’t be suing anyone, nor am I angry about it.

However, after a lifetime of trauma due to being a female & 15+ years of endometriosis, I disconnected from my female body completely. More gatekeeping could have caught this instead of an ALL affirmation model. This is why I find the informed consent model to be flawed after 7+ years of transition.

Why 'they'? Until she detransitioned half an hour ago she identified as a transman so that was outrageous and actually violent misgendering, surely?

Do you really think that if you repeat barefaced lies often enough they somehow become true? I went on my first Pride in 1985. Until Stonewall ran out of legitimate causes to campaign for around 2017 and turned to trans rights activism as a pretext to grift instead the idea of grafting gender identity onto the gay rights agenda would have been absolutely unthinkable. Do some proper reading rather than thinking of reddit as a valid research tool.

But that's not true, is it? You know it's not true.

Chris lies & lies & lies & refuses to engage in debate with good faith. This is just another of his lies.
