Resources Needed for Desisters and Detransitioners in Schools

[sacredfeminina]

Interestign sinatack post from parents of a social detransitioner...

Surely schools that are making lots of policies for children who wish to transition also need to create policy for those that wish to detransition...

Would they defend a detranaitioned child from bullying like they would a transitining one?

Oh my god my typos! Sorry my thumbs...

Very important point, and clearly written

There's nothing for detransitioners - no support, no way back.

And the problem is that once the more toxic and visible elements of this movement are publicly pushed back, what will remain is a sizeable number of mutilated young people with mental health issues and no support.

The Guardian will distance itself and say "never again"
OJ, Foxkiller, Jamil, Watson etc where will they be?

None of these celebrities actually care about trans people. They don't care about the mental health issues that distort someone's thinking so much that they actually think they are in the wrong body. And even when warned about social contagion - not a flicker of interest.

It's evil. Evil done by people convinced they are doing good. Detransitioners will bear the scars of celebrity hubris.

Ok Foxkiller and OJ aren't celebrities but they are still relatively well known on Twitter by their rainbow adherents.

Excellent point Sacredfeminina
Back in the day, the toxic Mermaids used to advise schools to have celebratory assemblies for little children who said they were the opposite sex. Thus demonstrating their spectacular lack of knowledge of child psychology / welfare and ensuring that a 6 year old would have to face a whole school community if it came about that at 6, they didn't understand what they were committing to. I presume that, along with the "born in the wrong body" mantra, is another bit of dangerous advice they've abandoned, leaving numerous child casualties in their wake.

This is a very good point. I know a couple of kids at my children's school have socially transitioned and detransitioned and I think there's more negativity towards these children then there is towards children who have socially transitioned and remained transitioned. I would imagine these children are one of the most vulnerable groups within a school setting and it would be sensible to have some specific policy for supporting these children. I would hope that this is explicitly stated within any existing transgender policy and if it isn't, it should.

What a good point you make.
It is so obvious, but forgotten.

It is so terrible to lose face when you are a teenager. This is why affirmation at school, rather than neutrality, is extremely harmful.

As well as making policies for "trans" and "detrans" kids, they should make policies for girls who need same sex spaces, who are being utterly betrayed.

There are a worrying number of very vulnerable "socially isolated" children in primary schools with poor peer relationships who suddenly "transition" and receive so much attention from adults. It's the wrong type of attention psychologically with adults fawning over them for being "stunning and brave" teaching them that it's "transitioning" that gets them all this unexpected attention. It can also reposition them in status terms with their peers as they have "transphobia" as a tool to use when managing peer relationships, which of course does nothing to enable them to build their own assertiveness skills and navigate friendships.

It's terrible to watch.

I see a lot of transition stories promoted by local bookshop. Does any mainstream YA publisher do detransitioning stories? Do any of the big name 'gender' or mental health websites children are pushed to have a non-judgemental detransitioner care and help section, run by detransitioners? I can't see anything on Mermaids. The Trevor Project throws up 0 results.

Thanks for sharing link. More support urgently needed for these kids.
