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.

I smell a rat here. It could be a setup by the trans community. People seldom detransition overnight out of the blue with no warning. I wouldn't be surprised if she was pulling a hoax on 'terfs' to get one over us or prove a point.

Christinapple does not post in good faith. If someone went on a history enthusiasts' forum and confidently and persistently asserted that Mary Tudor reigned in the 1800s they would be banned for tiresome trolling.

I don't report Christinapple's posts because I think it's instructive for lurkers to witness the deliberate lies, confabulation and complete disengagement with posters patiently posting facts and participating in reasoned debate.

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.

She will be angry about it at some point, really really angry.

I hope she has a supportive network.

My friend had a nose job when we were 20.

A few years later she said that the only reason she had any bad feelings about it was because it didn’t fix the feelings that she thought it would. I think she accepted her new reality but there was some… resentment (?) that she went through all of that for no reason. She didn’t get more male attention than she did before, no one really noticed to be honest, and she certainly didn’t feel more confident.

I wonder if we will see more of the ROGD girls detransition as they hit their mid-20s
when all of their peers start settling down and their attentions will go to other places.

I remember the times before the word gay was much used for homosexual men, even among homosexual men. And once it became common usage, it was used for men and women alike - gay men and women. (You didn’t often hear lesbian used as either an adjective or a noun). In fact queer was commonly used “he’s a bit queer” and so on. Queer has been reclaimed and reinterpreted now.

People who say “it’s always been so” have memories that only stretch back a relatively short time.

Do I detect manipulation and exploitation from their talking on twitter. We all know Jo's views on trans people and we all know she is going to milk this person for the rest of the year to "prove" to the world that being trans is bad after all.

It is very unlikely that JKR will be 'milking' this person as you so weirdly put it. She has a busy life and many other interests. Unlike some.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 12/06/2025 06:48

Christinapple kinda reminds me of the wonderful Twitter exchange i saw in 2020.
It’s just as revealing as Relationship Purposes Robin.

Jamie: I can’t believe some of the awful things JK Rowling said about trans people.

Friend of Jesus: Can you point us to the terrible things? I’d love to read them?

Jamie: I don’t know what she said, but people wouldn’t be criticising her for nothing!

WarriorN · 12/06/2025 05:35

Also watching with interest and a dose of skepticism which I hope I’ll be able to loose.

another trans identified woman who’s been outspoken about TRAs and mass transition and of children has been calling her out, suggesting she’s enjoying the attention. Swapping one group for another. After watching this happen to another early public desisting woman who courted media attention and then re reversed ferret again and fully transitioned (with a brief stint in an ultra religious sect) I do think it’s important to allow these people space sigh point to support, and not massage egos too much

It's always been LGBT until JK Rowling and the gender critical groups propped up to oppose it.

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

They don't care about the truth.

Currently on my facebook someone is telling me (retired clinical physiologist) telling me that 'a year's HRT' completely removes any advantage a 'trans woman' might have.

I mean anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise that is crap.

"No evidence" other than her obsessing about and trash talking trans people and anyone who supports them (including gay people and gay rights orgs) for 6(?) years and counting now.

Quote it then. You said previously you hadn’t read any of JKR’s essays, or pretty much anything that she’s said. Yet you appear to have this insight into her ‘trash talking trans people’ (or boundary pushing men to those not hard of thinking). Quite the skill.

Give us one link or screenshot (full convo so not taken out of context) where she's done any of that?

I'll wait....

Why do you hate women so much Chris? Why is it so important to you that women (in the original sense of female people) should not be allowed their own sex-specific rights, spaces and protections, not even allowed the language to speak of hw being female impacts their lives for good or bad? Why is it that you will only accept trans women being respected and protected if it also takes rights, protections and language away from women?

Christinapple · 11/06/2025 23:42

HollywoodTease · 11/06/2025 23:27

Good grief Chris you do spout some bollocks sometimes.

Have you actually listened to Hendrix (she's online right now on X) or read anything she's written?

Likewise JKR? You keep saying she hates trans people but there's no evidence of that, TRA have just made her the big bad bogeyman because she speaks up for women and can't be cancelled.

Take your blinkers off, go listen to what this person is saying. It's certainly not trans = bad. It's "trans didn't work for me because I was lied to about what it was".

As your mates are so fond of saying - educate yourselfo

Well, you might detect manipulation and exploration.

But that's because you are a fud.

TRAs are losing their minds simply because LT and JKR are talking to each other in a civil and respectful way. They can't stand that they're not fighting.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 11/06/2025 22:46

This is what I said. It’s like she was a rabid TRA yesterday, and is Mary Magdalene today.
I’m surprised she doesn’t have whiplash with that volte face.

mb2512cat · 11/06/2025 22:44

I’ve been following this woman for quite some time and frankly it’s like her account has been hijacked. Not convinced tbh. These people have deep-seated MH problems and this is probably just the latest chapter. If I was JKR I’d be a bit more cautious and wait longer to see how it plays out.

Hopefully, this Nitter version will work for you.

CandyLeBonBon · 11/06/2025 22:05

Not sure I truly believe her, but politely wishing her well and getting on with your day is surely the way to go? I hope nobody who believe sex is real and immutable is going after her? If she’s pretending for clicks it will backfire either way.

Maaate · 11/06/2025 22:04

I suppose that the realisation of what you have done to yourself is such a massive thing that it's only natural that you would try to convince yourself otherwise by being even more of a zealot

Christinapple · 11/06/2025 12:12

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.

"Always".

Nah. Ten years. Fifteen if you want to include the early appearances. You're either very young and can't remember that far back, or very willing to talk bollocks when it suits you to do so.

WhereYouLeftIt · 11/06/2025 21:57

I've come across legaltweetz a couple of time in Twitter threads. She always struck me as incredibly angry, and taking it out on whichever GC poster she was shouting at.

I suppose that anger could have been her turning her anger at falling from the woo, turned external against anyone who pointed out the woo is just woo? Armchair psychology, I know. And it could just as easily be that she's playing games.

Fucked if I know!

Firealarm1414 · 11/06/2025 21:47

I think we are going to see more and more of these high profile (within the tra community) detransitioners. The house of cards is falling. All that will be left are the woman hating creeps who have been riding the coattails of the young transtitioners and the people who just want to live their lives in peace in order to gain legitimacy and sympathy. then the scales really will fall from everyone's eyes
