I absolutely love this video, and I would love it if the woman telling her story found us on here and gave us even more of her thoughts and insights. She has lived through this whole experience of being alienated from herself in our society and then finding answers in the trans ideology for a time and then coming out the other side. I would be very interested to know if she was detransitioning and then stumbled across radfem ideas OR if radfem ideas helped enlighten her to reindentify as women. It is fascinating.

Good for her for finally having the ability despite as she calls it herself the “brainwashing” that she had the strength to find herself and her true identity and claim it in the middle of all this shit. I wonder if the constant denial of women’s real bodies which she mentions a lot was one of the factors?

She's absolutely fabulous.

SignMeUp - I just can't thank you enough for posting this link. I cried all the way through it, I'm still crying now. I agree with every single word this amazing and incredible woman says.

Thanks for sharing this. She demonstrates actual inclusivity and acceptance!

And she is absolutely right that we really, really do need to talk about what is going on with girls disidentifying with womanhood.

She has pinned this to her channel:

hello, when i made this video i was going through a profound & deeply personal phase in my life. getting into radical feminism has definitely helped me return to myself and my being female, but i no longer refer to myself as detransitioned or reidentified as i no longer relate to these terms. i am black, female, and dyke. i no longer care to politicize my experience & i respectfully ask that others don't do that. honestly this was just another moment in my life, i've come to understand it, recognize it, feel it & accept it and i have moved on. i don't want to be interviewed, sent messages from parents about their trans children, made a martyr or whatever. i just want to be happy and be a weirdo darkie dyke in peace, thanks.

It must be very hard for women who detransition and go public with their experiences.

I can imagine that they feel the responses are just too much for them to deal with. They must get it from both sides - and that's a lot of pressure and responsibility.

Anyone who sticks their head above the parapet is bound to feel that people want and need them to be the 'face' and voice of detransitioned women.

I think her pinned message is very healthy and shows she knows she must consider her own well-being first and foremost.

It's clear she doesn't need or want to court publicity - quite the opposite of so many transactivists.

There is another female detransitioner whose videos are also very moving and articulate. She's called Cari Stella, but I can't find anything recently posted by her, so I wonder if she's also withdrawn so she can have some privacy too?

Hmm

Looking for a screenshot there, are you?

Really good video, and she’s brave to speak about her experiences. I was struck by her thoughts on her own internalised misogyny and homophobia. I could never fathom all the woke young women who join the twaw chanting but it makes sense that they would have the same internalised feelings hence them allowing and encouraging the mis-appropriation of womanhood by biological males.

Carey Callahan had some amazingly moving videos on youtube talking about her detransition, but she shut her channel down because of the amount of abuse she got from the transactivists. They really don't like detransitioners.

Brilliantly brave video. I can fully understand why she just wants to get on with her life now.
