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.

The problem is that anyone with even the slightest doubt almost can't help but change their mind.

Because as soon as you lift the lid even slightly, transactivists will blow it off its hinges whilst vociferously hoping that the blast to take you out too.

I think they queried the huge jump in f-t-m transitioners and the number if detransitioners and got piled upon by tras, which then made them consider their own transition and why they did it - and the tras are calling this despicable behaviour.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here."

I would love to know the reason for the sudden change of heart.

Yes, I happened on the message quoted in the OP and nearly got whiplash checking that the author was definitely who I thought. Very odd and I am wondering what exactly is going on there.

I've been following this on x and have wondered whether if it's for real or not - I keep expecting some kind of gotcha.

She's mentioned that there should be more gatekeeping for medical treatment and still believes that trans is real so this might be her trying to separate the "true trans" from the "pretend trans"

I did see some of this & I couldn’t quite believe it. Legaltweetz has been one of the
Most vociferous TRA. Tbh Im still not sure I do believe it

Yes I was a bit suspicious that it's 'research" or subterfuge to get close to gender critical people. It was so sudden. But this person has upset other TRAs to such an extent, I can't see how they'd recover from the damage. It could be pure attention seeking, of course ...

Its fascinating. Not TERF but critical of many of the things TRAs hold dear.
